Hmm... noticed a small flaw in the calculations -- the calculations
are based on the "merchant" rate; which require a constant flow of
transactions -- since this is more likely to be a one-time thing, this
would probably be charged at the "standard rate"; at 2.9%. That means
the third-party would require $95456.79 USD; or 3819 donators at $25
apiece. Straight to Namesys would require $92688.26 USD; or 3708
donators at $25 apiece. Geez, Paypal is full of nothing but thieves
and crooks. *evil glare*
