A systray icon encouraging donations.
Introduction[edit]
Implementation idea for a donations-based Open Source business model.
Status: Stalled. No specific plans at this time.
related: Open Source Business Models
Donation Verification vs Non-Verification[edit]
- Verification: No, the actual donation status will not be verified. This is to avoid having to invent code that does that.
- Honor based: Yes.
- Fake donate: Will users be able to select "I donated already" without actually having donated? Yes.
Systray Options[edit]
Left and/or right-click menu:
- I donated already.
- I am eligible for an exemption.
- Remind me in 1 week.
- Remind me in 1 month.
- Close.
Screenshot Issue[edit]
TODO
- Issue: If the user makes a screenshot, the systray icons should not look different for users who donated vs those who did not donate yet.
- Solution: The systray would have an (invisible) countdown from 60 seconds to 0 seconds. Once 0 is reached, the systray terminates itself so it vanishes from the systray.

Qubes Specific[edit]

- Undecided. Perhaps:
- Show donations systray inside
anon-whonix
App Qube only to avoid duplicate systray icons.
- Show donations systray inside
- Undecided. Perhaps:
Non-Qubes-Whonix Specific[edit]
- Avoid duplicate systray icons in different VMs.
- Only run in the default VM.
- Skip if running in a "multiple VM". I.e., not the default VM but a VM with a local internal IP different from the default internal IP.
