Not that I want to say I told you so but with a proper structure behind it problems such as funds being sent to the wrong address wouldn't happen

I agree , a way to add credit to someone else's account would be great but that's up to ez robot.

@Rich,

We are singing the same song, but it seemed the community was anxious to get started so I volunteered to coordinate this first time (I also offered to advise EZ-Robot if they want to set something up. I have a little experience in this area).

Yeah, I know and understand.

Doesn't paypal have a tool for creating a button which can be used to donate? I know it used to. For simplicity it would probably pay to either post the button in this topic (if possible, however I believe it uses scripts so may not work) or throw together a quick and simple web page and link to it for donations.

Alan, I sent the $ to Ez-Robot because you said: "I sent an email to [email protected] and copied Aisliin since I have her direct email address and this fits within the "marketing department" kind of activities.

Several of you have been quite generous. We are half-way to a developer kit already!

Alan"

Why would you ask: "Why in the world would you do that before EZ-Robot have even acknowledged the idea let alone set up anything. I certainly hope they do, but you may want to look into cancelling that transaction until we hear from them."

I thought the fund was being set up by Ez-Robot.

I don't need to be put down for doing what I (and probably others) was the right thing.

Dear @OldBotBuilder, I am shure that Alan did not meant to put you down at all! It was just a misunderstand. we are simply doing an collective action here, that started with no other pretension of mine than share the idea of send a gift to a talented kid, and that became a seed for something that we think could help many others around the world, if the company decides to create a donations program.

But at this point, Ez-Robot did not jumped into the train... Then, Alan kindly offered to collect the donations for this specific action and do the handling. So, we are sending the funds to him at "[email protected]" in PayPal.

If you think you can change your sending to Alan, instead of ez-robot, would be great. if not, that's ok. We appreciated your good intention. Thanks!

@OldBotBuilder ... Alan doesn't need me or anyone else to defend him, but I know Alan (well as best one can over an internet) so I highly doubt he had and malicious tone in his post... The worst thing you can say about Alan, is he is an honest straight up guy... Mistakes happen but we'll get things right, not to worry my friend...

Sorry @oldbotbuilder, I didn't mean to be insulting. I was surprised and over reacted.

My discussion of emailing EZ-Robot was to keep the community informed of my attempts to make this "official" and to see if we could get a discount. It was a follow-up to my post asking them those questions and Rich's suggestion to reach out to then by email. I didn't intend to imply that they agreed, but I see if you hadn't read every post in the thread and only looked at the newest posts it could have been mis-interpreted.

Sorry again.

Alan
