I attached the note in the following paragraph. I got the error "There are currently problems, please try again later."<br>
In a separate tab, I logged in to PayPal to verify that it was up, then I re-tried donating a few times. After diddling around a bit, I think the reason is that PayPal has a length limit that your message box does not enforce, and they don't sanitize their inputs properly so the entire payment fails.</p>
<p>"You really should set up some Cryptocurrency donation options, like Monero (99.999% private) or Bitcoin Cash (sub-cent transfer fees), or better yet, find a non-PayPal payment processor who handles the "bothersome" parts of crypto for you. PayPal is known to censor politically incorrect views and should be avoided."</p>
<p><strong>What did you expect instead</strong></p>
<p>Giving you my monies</p>
<p><strong>Describe steps leading to the problem.</strong></p>
<p>Put lots of text into the message field on your donation page</p>
<p><strong>Are you using any other Mail.app plugins?</strong></p>
<p>Not relevant.</p></div>Jan Gronemanntag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/445039662018-01-17T18:52:15Z2018-01-17T18:52:15ZTrying to donate to you via PayPal fails if message is too long<div><p>Hi Jan,</p>
<p>thank you very much for your interest in our suite and wanting to support the development.<br>
We will look into the issue with the length restriction for the comment field.<br>
As for your suggestion with accepting crypto currency, unfortunately we have had a bad experience in the past and don‘t want to repeat that. In addition, the fluctuation of the value which affects many different cryptocurrencies is a pain.<br>
We will however revisit the option from time to time.</p>
<p>Thanks again for the report and have a nice evening</p></div>Luke Le
