[UPDATE] Helping out a fellow gopher, /u/gernest_!

<p>Hey <a href="/r/golang">/r/golang</a>, just wanted to share some updates with you all. For those out of the loop, read <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/3yxx34/helping_out_a_fellow_gopher_ugernest/">this</a> and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/3yt0o8/why_you_should_borrow_me_your_spare_computer_for/">this</a> for context.</p> <p>First of all, I&#39;d like to sincerely thank everyone who have donated. Gophers from this sub contributed <em>very</em> generously towards getting <a href="/u/gernest_">/u/gernest_</a> a decent PC. </p> <p>It&#39;s been a week since I&#39;ve started collecting donations and as of today, we have a little over $800 USD! So what happens now?</p> <p>Well, I&#39;ll be starting the SWIFT process on Monday (11th). Over the last week I&#39;ve learned a lot more about international money transfers than I ever wanted to. It turns out sending money to Tanzania, even with the SWIFT system, involves a ridiculous number of intermediary banks and would take up to a week, according to my bank. So my next - and final - update will likely be after the 18th.</p> <p>Anyway, a big thanks to everyone who have donated so far, and if anyone would like to make some last minute paypal contribution over the weekend, please PM me. I&#39;m kinda hoping we can push this just a little bit further and reach $1000 :)</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>PJay-: <pre><p>I sent you a PM, I look forward to donate some</p></pre>cjbprime: <pre><p>Thanks, sent a PM for a donation, let&#39;s try for $1000!</p></pre>sporkmonger: <pre><p>FWIW, I used to work for BitPesa and I lived in TZ for a year and if mobile money and Bitcoin are options, BitPesa ought to be able to get it done much faster than SWIFT. It mostly depends on how much float is available in TZ at that moment, but best case it goes through in minutes, worst case a couple days. If you wanted to go that route, PM me and I can make sure float goes up sooner.</p></pre>
