Today I will be badging everyone who donated (except for those who told us not to). When you donated, you were asked to enter your Voat username in the description box. If you did not do this for whatever reason, and still wish to receive your donor badge, please wait 24 hours and then if your donor badge is not visible on your profile page, send an email to [email protected] and mention your donation transaction ID and your Voat username. Since the badging process is currently not automated, I will be spending a large chunk of this Sunday on this task.
I would like to use this opportunity to THANK YOU all who donated as your donations are what keeps Voat online and what keeps us motivated to fight our way forward. I wish I could say thank you to each and every one of you personally, but the number of people who donated it just too big to manage.
Anyways, I hope to be able to make another announcement soon with more information on our monthly operating costs. I'd love to do an ama-type thing with Putt and answer any questions you guys may have, but I can't promise anything at this point.

Wow, you're going to to the badging process manually? On what I assume is a day off for you? Damn dude, like, I hope a lot of people donated but hopefully this doesn't take too long for you.

Yup, manually. On a day off. We could automate this but donation order process would then have to go directly through Voat, which means we would have to implement a subset of the payment processor API, which would probably take at least one whole weekend... We'll see. For now, I'm really happy at least 1 person out there now knows what this means :) Thanks!

Can't you just write a quick script that takes a list of usernames and badges them? No need to link to the payment processing.
Atko ago
Sure.. but the list has to be created by hand as I can't filter transaction reports from our payment processor. Creating the list takes the most time. There are several badge categories (based on amount donated)... and you get my drift. This must be automated some day, I just wish I had the time to do it :)

Ha! A bit ironic that doing it manually is easier than creating a process to automate it.
That being said, thanks for all your hard work to you and Putt.
