Understood Ihor

I respect your position & predicament

But I've published my public key address; I know you're an avid & prolific
donor of free software--watch your code donations submitted daily--I'll
continue to support free software forever of course & thanks very much to
RMS & the FSF for starting the free software movement & supporting its
growth for many years

Suggest you stay away from PayPal & ALL the other methods you
suggested--PayPal for example has been shutting down the accounts of
"freedom fighters" & can & will continue to do so whenever they wish, for
whatever reason they choose

You have permission to use my name as your fake software developer "nom de
guerre" & I can relay the funding to you in whatever manner you
desire--PayPal is fine...until they ban me from that--notes can be made
during the transaction of what the project is that you're developing or
whatever & then I can relay the money

I pay my taxes on crypto gains; but, if I make no money on the transaction
in such a transaction, well then I owe no taxes, so I wouldn't have to
worry about that--and what laws would you be violating in your country?
None that I can think of

Just out of curiosity: What country do you reside?

Is it Russia? Last I heard Russia is accepting BitCoin for oil, right?

I mean, just look what happened in Canada: Truckers used a funding site,
funding site was shuttered & bank accounts seized & the list of everyone
that donated was published "accidentally"

If they used Monero instead, then NONE of the above problems would have
manifested--Monero is as NOT trackable & its uncensorable
