Donations are only used for buying computer hardware for Elftown, or stored as a reserve in case something should unexpectedly break down and need replacement. Elfwood has given Elftown a lot of hardware, so there is also a debt to pay there.
Elftown doesn't have to pay for Internet-access and don't have any administration costs (except the ones from Paypal, which are about 10%). We hope that there is faster hardware available soon so that we can speed up Elftown, but funds for that are still missing.
If you're a donor (a least 10 euro), you can use these extra tags in your description in your house:
<red> Makes the text between the start and end tag <green> this colour. As with other tags, you have to <blue> have them in pairs, otherwise all of them stop <white> working. <purple> <yellow> <LBLUE> <DBLUE> <LPURPLE> <DPURPLE> <LGREEN> <DGREEN> <PINK> <DGREY> <ORANGE> <BROWN>
If you have donated 20 euro or more, you will get the limitation on your descriptions removed. It doesn't mean that we'll allow totally hideous presentations, but "double-donors" are allowed to make a little bigger descriptions.
The normal limits are:
maxlines-description:400 (number of newlines)
maxsize-description:20000 (Number of characters in the description)
maximages-description:10 (Number of images, except the tiny images shown on nonimages)

(Note: This is only the Paypal-donations. Elftown has got
donations before that, to Elfwood's account.)
Paypal fees: 0.74 euros per 10 euro. Less fees for bigger donations.
Also 67 SEK has been taken in previous withdraw fees
by Paypal, but that is free from now on.
Some value is also lost in the conversion from euro to Swedish
krona. How much is hard to tell without doing the diff between the
income and the current treasury. It is about 2.5% of the transfered
money. Send a big thankyou to the Swedish nationalists, left wingers
and enviromentalist for protecting the banks' right to steal Elftown's
money in the currency exchange!
There are also a few other donations in other currencies:
1 donation a 75 USD (via Paypal)
1 donation a 200 SEK (via banktransfer)
1 donation a 1500 SEK (via banktransfer)
If you can and want to insert money directly into a Swedish
bank-account without any fees, contact [Hedda] for information.
