Hi John,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the invitation to the mailing list, I've been reading some posts and it seems you got everything undercontrol. I want<br>
to support with your project.<br>
<br>
On the google groups you said 125USD and in the doc it says 250USD. Which is the cost?<br>

<br>
<br>
The target selling price is $125. To get early versions + upgrade rights, the price is $250,<br>
so if not wanting to try things out sooner, just waiting is fine. If you like the idea of what I am doing,<br>
and want to send me some tip money, please buy a machine at $250 and I'll work hard for you, and<br>
make sure you're happy -- even to the point of refunding half and sending you a rev1.0 + better plastics later when that is all available. Right now, the extra $$ will help keep me going a little longer without<br>
interruption after the 4 weeks is up that is prepaid now.<br>
<br>
I'm solvent, and backed by my wife, and we have income from a rental unit that makes our<br>
fixed expenses less, but we live in the city with city costs. I was attempting to turn an art<br>
sculpture hobby into a business that failed in 2004 and still not fully relaunched into the<br>
middle class again yet, so I need to divert to income generating activity whenever earning less than $2000 per month.<br>
<br>
So when the prepays run out, I will be working on my web sites and self promotion for gigs again,<br>
and a sliver of time on the electroporator, especially asking for kit sales. I'll also work<br>
on a radio sensor network project in that case.<br>
<br>
So if you'd like to contribute some money, I am all for it, and any time before July 15th will<br>
give a boost of extending the uninterrupted time I spend on electroporator design/test/cost-reduce/refine.<br>
I do not have any international payment method set up other than paypal so far. If you have a US bank account, I have a Dwolla account which offers free money transfers by ACH system in the US. See <a href="http://help.dwolla.com/customer/portal/articles/1767695-dwolla-direct" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://help.dwolla.com/customer/portal/articles/1767695-dwolla-direct</a> for how to use it with the minimum of sign up effort.<br>
<br>
I just ran across this for international: a new paypal company offering free transactions up to $50k worth.<br>
I could use that for my startup needs, then switch to whatever is best a year or two from now, wow!<br>
It's an easy button without the usual easy button price tag...<br>
<br>
<br>
Cards and digital wallets<br>
<br>
2.9% + $.30 per transaction (waived fees until after your first $50K in card processing.)<br>
<br>
An additional 1% fee applies to transactions presented outside of your home currency<br>
A flat $15 fee is assessed for chargebacks<br>
Fees are returned for fully-refunded transactions<br>
Discounted rate of 2.2% + $.30 for eligible nonprofits (not valid with our $50K promotion)<br>
Discounted rates and interchange plus pricing are available for business processing over $80K per month<br>
<br>
<br>
Paypal Your rates are predetermined by PayPal, but generally 2.9% + $.30 per transaction;<br>
<br>
Bitcoin -- No processing fees on the first $1M of transaction volume. After that, a fee of 1% will apply. A $.15 fee applies to each batch disbursement to your bank account.<br>
<br>
So if you wanted to pay me via <a href="http://braintreepayments.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">braintreepayments.com</a> with a credit or bank debit card, (not your paypal account), there would just be a 1% currency exchange fee from Espana to the US.<br>
<br>
Thanks Alvaro,<br>
