Will Devuan ever accept Monero?

A quick trip to the donation page will show that XMR isn't an option.
So, what are the reasons for why the Devuan Project won't accept Monero?
I'm sure people interested in private transactions (i.e. myself) or those who just mainly use XMR would gladly give if they were offered the option.
Hope some replies can enlighten me.

Dyne.org handles all of Devuan's finances. You'll have to ask them.

Re: Will Devuan ever accept Monero?

Hello:

... why the Devuan Project won't accept Monero?

From what I can see in the https://dyne.org/donate/ web page, [monero wallet] is accepted.

This string is whatever is used for the transaction:

Could not find a contact email to write to but there are quite a few other (Telegram and such) options.

Edit:

See this post for a way to contact [jaromil] to ask for the pertinent information:

@Altoid . . . Thanks for tracking that down! If verified that it is accepted for Devuan, Xenguy will want to add it to Devuan's WWW.

Hello:

Thanks for tracking that ...

You're welcome.

If verified that it is accepted ...

If Dyne takes care of the financials / accounting, I don't see why not.

Let's see what the OP finds out.

Best,

A.

Re: Will Devuan ever accept Monero?

@Altoid Nice find!
Dyne's site is kind of broken without javascript, you can't get to the monero address without doing some inspect magic.
Thanks for posting this info at the very least in here, though it seems a bit esoteric that in order to donate to Devuan with XMR, you have to go to dyne.org and turn on js or hack the site just to see the crypto address lol.

@golinux So if I'm reading this right, it's only a matter of time until the donation page is updated?
Thank you guys for both your replies.

Not necessarily. I sent them an email and now we wait for a response.

Re: Will Devuan ever accept Monero?

Hello:

Nice find!

Hopefully now it is sorted out.

... broken without javascript, you can't get to the monero address ...

I just clicked on the [monero wallet] label and the address string was automatically copied to my clipboard.
Don't use any of those things, so that is all I did.

... a bit esoteric ...

Well ...
Some people say that of Devuan.  8^°

Thanks for your effort$.

Best,

A.
