Wow, Heiko you are really stepping up to the plate to fill in where others have let us down! Thank you so much for supporting the project.

Is there any ETA on this? The IT administrator here has committed to me to donate to the cause, but he wants some sort of timeframe.
Thanks

Hello eri,
1600 $ done! to paypal@chrisbuechler.com

HeikoThanks Heiko!!! I agree, we need to make some changes to the bounty system to prevent this from ever happening again.
Although the outcome of the project looks very impressive and (from the looks of it) worth every penny it would be improper to just blame pledges for not following though as the project was vague on the features and is taking longer to complete that many might have expected.
Anyway, as you revise bounty rules, I would suggest that there should be a way to send money to the project after the project has completed. I would be happy to send money if the particular feature does fit my needs, has no bugs (works with other packages I use) and is actively maintained.

… I would suggest that there should be a way to send money to the project after the project has completed.
Just send it to Chris Buechler's paypal address as mentioned before in this thread. That's how I just did it.
As we have seen here, paying afterwards doesn't work well. Maybe some kind of deposit would do, bit I would consider Chris' account as just this. -
I quickly scanned through the thread to see who pledged, etc. If you have already paid please reply and say that you have already paid.
Everyone else, you have a week to pony up or you will find that your avatar and tagline on your forum account will embarrass you going forward. It's the least I can do. Again, if you already paid just let me know and I'll mark it paid. I do not have access to cmb's paypal.

People should never pledge contributions if they aren't in agreement with the details or lack there of exactly as provided. Asking for clarification or specifics is welcome, pledging in agreement with what's provided and then not following through is unacceptable.

It appears, other than a few people we work with regularly, that any method that does not get the money to us in advance isn't going to work. We need to work out some sort of escrow where the money is submitted, but the person doing the work doesn't get it until the work is completed to the payer's satisfaction. There needs to be a deadline if the payer desires, so the money is automatically refunded if not completed by X date. Other suggestions welcome.

Thank you! Ermal has put a lot of work into this and I have to say that traffic shaping has been one of the most difficult features of pfSense. Everyone helping out is doing nothing but motivating Eri– to take this further! Keep it coming! :)

sullrich, i'm waiting for new credit card to activate payPal (i always use Visa electron, non CCV2, non internet payment), plz be patient :].
-
250$ sent. Forgive my tardiness; my company didn't have their own Paypal account so I had to arrange that. I believe that payment came from a paypal account starting in "mhughes".
-
Sai has contacted me saying he has done a bank transfer to my account.
So he said he sent his 100$.

Hi,
I just paypaled my $500 – reminding of the fact that I wanted to transfer a few weeks back but was asked to wait, because you didn't know who should have the money ;)
Your work is much appreciated. My contribution doesn't come close to paying for the work going into it, so I consider the deal I got to be a good one.
Thank you!

I just sent $100 from my personal account to help out on this. The IT director really likes the looks of PF, and has committed to me to contribute, but doesn't want to until he has an ETA on the project being finished.
