Any other ways to donate?
Hi. Since PayPal is blocked in my country (Turkiye), I want to ask that is there any other ways to donate or will be there any new donation option?

Hi, and a warm welcome to BetaArchive, what I believe to be the World's largest Beta and Abandonware repository!
It truly is a shame that Paypal is blocked in Turkiye. I commend your efforts in attempting to preserve this place of all its glory.
It would be nice to add a new method in providing an alternative to those that struggle with certain sites.

Let me turn the question around: What works in Turkey? What kind of donation systems are allowed there?

Just a small reminder that donating will no longer get you access to the files, just in case that was your motivation for donating.yigitsalar wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 10:55 amHi.

If not, then your donation would be very welcome indeed!
I upload stuff to archive.org from time to time. See here for everything that doesn't fit BA

Hi, thank you for all. Yeah, it's nice to add (a/some) new method(s) so users like me can donate to websites like this if they want to.Blizzardo1 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 8:24 amHi, and a warm welcome to BetaArchive, what I believe to be the World's largest Beta and Abandonware repository!

There is a method provider called "Stripe", which is similar to PayPal but not blocked in Turkiye. Then, even though it's not used to much in Turkiye, you can add bank transfer to IBAN too since it's an option. Lastly, cryptocurrency is a payment method that you probably heard about.
Thanks for the reminder but no, I already uploaded a file and got my Archive Access. There is a red text in donation page that tells the same thing. If people doesn't see it, it's bad then.Darkstar wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 8:06 pmJust a small reminder that donating will no longer get you access to the files, just in case if that was your motivation for donating.yigitsalar wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 10:55 amHi.

You would be surprised as for how many people here on BA and the Discord server apparently cannot read

Actually very early days used to get you access, but that has not been the case for a very long time.Random_User wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2023 10:46 pmDonations have never conferred one with eligibility for download access throughout the history of this community.Darkstar wrote:Just a small reminder that donating will no longer get you access to the files
