PrimeGrid needs help guys... :icon_neutral:
PrimeGrid is a project that is not financed by universities or commercial entities. In fact, all of our funding comes from the community, most of it through the donations page (http://www.primegrid.com/donations.php) and a small amount through Google ads on the site. In the previous months donations were enough to cover all expenses running the website, however, the last few months have been particularly bad and just paying for server collocation has cut deep into our emergency funds.
It is never easy to be asking for money, but it has come to the point where we have to. We currently have money to keep the servers running for two more months. After that, we either shut down or throttle down significantly, which would be a shame having established PrimeGrid as a significant power in the prime number community, and having received uncountable hours of support from the members.
Therefore, we are launching PrimeGrid Donation Drive 2010 Fall. We have set the target to €4000, which would allow us continue the service for a whole year and would also restore our emergency funds.
No matter how small the donation, it still helps! However, we have to keep the minimum amount at €2 because of PayPal fees (if you prefer to donate through bank transfer, we have bank accounts in the Netherlands, Germany and Lithuania - please write a private message to me and the details will be sent to you).
To help keep the project running, please visit donations page (http://www.primegrid.com/donations.php), select the donation drive item and make a donation that you feel is suitable. Thank you in advance!
