Hmm... noticed a = small flaw in the calculations -- the calculations
are based on the &quo= t;merchant" rate; which require a constant flow of
transactions -- = since this is more likely to be a one-time thing, this
would probably be charged at the "standard rate"; at 2.9%.&nb= sp; That means
the third-party would require $95456.79 USD; or 3819= donators at $25
apiece.  Straight to Namesys would require $9= 2688.26 USD; or 3708
donators at $25 apiece.  Geez, Paypal is full of nothing but = thieves
and crooks.  *evil glare*
