March 20, 20197 yr Hello, I just donated 3 EUR and got 3 machine keys. Will donating more give me more keys? I'd just like to make sure the precise number of keys I'll get from my donation amount. Thank you.
March 20, 20197 yr It sounds a lot like a (small) fee for a license. Try donating 4 Euros, if you get 4 more licenses, then you will have an additional data point and could maybe derive a trend. On the other hand if BigMuscle (randomly) uses this random generator : https://xkcd.com/221/ the trend might be not accurate. I would try to see the (non-) issue from a slightly different angle: 1) BigMuscle (IMHO senselessly) asks for a (small) donation and is irked every time someone mentions the fact that a "forced" donation is actually a fee 2) for some strange reasons he likes to be vague about the minimal amount of a donation[1] and on how many licenses he will "give away" coincidentally, once received such a "donation" 3) you just got the proved proof that he is willing to "give away" three licenses for a donation as low as 3 Euro 4) he clearly doesn't (and won't) get rich from donations of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Euro 5) why do you want to deprive him of the happyness/fun/whatever he gets by calling things by other names and being vague about the matter? jaclaz [1] BTW I seem to remember he mentioned once that someone sent him a 0.01 Euro donation
March 20, 20197 yr Author My question is more of on the lines of the proper way to get more keys (for my other computers) - is it donating more that does this? Or do I need to make a new account to donate? I'm not really sure and I was actually expecting only 1 license key from the donation, so I was pleasantly surprised too I just thought maybe it'd be possible for those who'd want to get an exact number of keys have an estimate of the amount they should donate, but I can understand if BigMuscle doesn't want to share on it. Maybe there should be a poll thread about the donation amount and the amount of keys people in the forums get just for the fun of it. About your BTW, seems like the minimum donation amount is 2 EUR due to PayPal fees. I'm actually curious how someone actually did make a donation of 0.01 EUR
