Donation questions

I may have just missed something obvious, in which case I apologize, but how frequently are we supposed to donate to maintain our sponsor status?  Is it annually?

Thanks!

It's in your personal wallet now? Not in your account on the site where you bought it? If it's in your personal wallet now, then you just follow the same process as transferring it to your own wallet, except you use the number of the person  or business that you want to send it to. So if you're trying to donate to DBG, then you just pop over to this thread and that has DBG's wallet number: https://www.drugbuyersguide.net/topic/9845-how-to-donate-to-the-forum/

If you DON'T have a personal wallet yet (you probably got it from someplace like Electrum, and then copied down an insanely long multipart password), but DON'T transfer directly from the place you bought it to your recipient. Always transfer to your personal wallet first.

I'm not sure that you're doing anything wrong. Try searching the forum, because I have seen threads on here where people were having trouble with DBG's wallet. I don't know if they've recently changed their wallet, but I don't think so. And if they did, I imagine admin would remove the old wallet number from the site to avoid confusion.

But search the forum for donation troubleshooting, because this has come up before and there are some common mistakes people make, but I'm not sure what they are. I didn't happen to have any trouble donating, but I had a TERRIBLE time learning how to use bitcoin. (So I stay in there threads to try to reassure people that it's hard, but once you get the hang of it, it's really not bad. It's just frustrating and time-consuming at first.)

In a pinch, let's tag in @2earls who can probably help you, just to get that bitcoin out of your wallet. Unless you're really into bitcoin, you generally want to move it quickly so you don't risk it dropping in value. I've had that happen and then had to a little MORE coin to make up the difference. 

 
Maybe try downloading an Electrum wallet and sending to that first and then sending to DBG? The bitcoin wallet here is always kept up to date and changes frequently so recheck it before you attempt to send again and let us know if you are not able to send to your Electrum wallet either.

I just re-read this message more closely. @earls is right. You need to download a personal wallet. That's the glitch here. CashApp and others aren't going to let you transfer directly to DBG. Go to Electrum and follow their instructions. There are also really, really good detailed instructions near the end of the "Explain it Like I've 5" thread on here. It's probably on the last page or two. You can't miss it. Somebody posted some really step-by-step instructions. When you create it, you will have to create a very long set of passwords. Make sure you keep those in a safe place. Take a deep breath---you'll get the hang of it, I promise! :-)

 
Hello, it is some years since I was last a sponsor, back in the days of PayPal when life was relatively simple!

I now use Coinbase and have a BTC wallet with them.  Am I ok to donate straight to the forum (I have found the relevant code) direct from my Coinbase trading wallet?

Many thanks in anticipation of any assistance you are able to provide. X 

 
@Lundi Its always preferred that you move the BTC into an external wallet that you control the seed of.  If Coinbase were to flag DBGs btc address and saw you transferring funds to it, they could legitimately seize your account and all your funds.  Let us know if you need any help finding a good external wallet and thanks so much for donating!

Many thanks for this guidance.  I have absolutely no BTC experience beyond Coinbase but will study the info on the forum over the next couple of days and hopefully find a safe way forwards!  

 
Have found the Electrum site after reading through vast amounts of advice on here (thanks to all who help those of us who seem to be wading blindfold through treacle)!

i still have my little Coinbase stash; if I move that to Electrum and then to the forum membership account (I know where to find the BTC address).  Is this an acceptable way to pay membership?

Apologies for asking about stuff probably obvious to most!  Thanks in anticipation of any further guidance. X

Hello! I just donated what I could. I haven't been here for a couple months I was good on mags but now I'm on the lookout..thanks guys

 
@Lundi Yes, moving funds from Coinbase to an Electrum wallet, and then to the DBG wallet is the ideal way to pay!!  Take care and thanks for donating.  :79_smiley_cat:

 
Hi, I sent a donation for the $20 for Opal membership but have been unable to find a way to PM admin with the details (and the email address I sent to was returned to me as it was for some reason regarded as spam) 

Any help please?

  1. P @ ponglenis: @Dr-Octagon, hey I remember you from another forum, way back in the day
  2. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: How about that curling team huh? Give it up
  3. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: Top o tha Marnin
  4. Professor_ @ Professor_: Good morning Guys
  5. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  6. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  7. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
