How to receive donations for my software in Ukraine (without PayPal)?

(1/1)

dmytron:
I would like to create something so then to get donations for it. The most popular version is PayPal. However, PayPal DOESN'T work with Ukraine! So I ask what are some systems like PayPal that are able to send money in Ukraine. All I need is for the donators to be able to pay donations with their Visa/Mastercard. Do you know something like that?

Renegade:
Bitcoin? Litecoin? Dogecoin? They all work.

As for credit cards... I'm not really that interested in them anymore, but look at World Pay. They might work.

Edvard:
Apparently, PayPal and eBay are not cluing anybody in as to why, but I found this:

Comment #5:
I think it is not PayPal who caused this, but an outdated but still active Ukrainian law (14.10.2004 N 485 ) which forbids Residents (resident: citizens and immigrants) of Ukraine to have financial or other value based accounts opened out of country borders. So you cannot have a "money account" on your "Paypal account".

There is a petition on Change.org, but I don't know how effective those things are.

PP is great - we NEED it to be able to buy drugs and arms safely in Mexico and then transfer it to Ukraine via. submarines, without the risk of being busted by cops.

I have heard that there are businesses over the border that can receive PayPal payments on your behalf, and then deposit to your account, but I can't possibly recommend one over another, or vouch for the safety of such a thing.

What a fool! That's what Darkcoin is for! :)

But seriously, that sucks not being able to even spend your own money.

It could also be an epic troll.
