Do you have a PayPal account people can send money to, like an email address or a link to donate?

This story is setting off some alarm bells for me so I'd be wary of forking over anything more than advice right now.

  Why on earth would you discourage others from helping because you are suspicious. Like I said earlier, I believe this person because similar experiences have happened to me. Never, never try and stop people from trying to do good. I would rather be scammed than be complacent.

    Whoa! There are a ton of pity scams online and there are other people in this thread that are suspicious too. It's your prerogative what you do with your money but certain things about the post just make me feel off. I might be right, or I might be wrong. I'd never knowingly try to stop someone from doing good, but by the same token, warning that this might be a scam is prudent.

  I'll vouch for Tree. We've been friends since 2001 and we worked together for a couple years. Your skepticism is understandable; Tree may be a bit of a free spirit who doesn't use github as much as he should, but he is also honest. Incidentally, when gmail was first released back in 2004(?), Tree dug in and reverse engineered a basic version of it in a couple of weeks. That was before libraries like Prototype were available. His Javascript skills are formidable.

I dont have paypal, because they closed my account. I am one of those people that is part of class action law suit against them. A long story. Maybe a bit coin account. I was more thinking along the line if anyone in aarhus can lend me a lap top to restore my time machine backup.
