To: Gratipay Support <support(a)gratipay.com> Greetings! You're receiving this message because you're one of the nine people who have been withdrawing money from Gratipay 2.0 directly to your bank account. Our provider for bank payouts, Balanced Payments, is going out of business, and they stopped providing bank payouts last week. We tried pretty damn hard over the past couple months to migrate to a new provider for bank payouts, so that we could provide uninterrupted service for you, but we failed. Sorry. :-( Our backup plan is PayPal. To maximize the chance that you receive your payout this week in some fashion, we chose to configure your Gratipay account to send money via PayPal to the verified email address we have on file for you—the one you're receiving this email on—from now on. Please update the PayPal address on your Gratipay settings page as necessary, to ensure that we route your payouts properly starting this Thursday. If PayPal is not a good option for you, please get in touch and let's see what we can figure out. You've been very patient with us throughout the turmoil of the last couple months. While we can't quite say that we've fully survived the Balanced shutdown yet (due to its repercussions for us), it's a big milestone to be processing at all even though Balanced has in fact started shutting down. Thank you for believing in us as we continue rebuilding Gratipay! :-) As always, feel free to reply here privately, or join our public discussion on GitHub. chad ---- Chad Whitacre Founder, Gratipay +1-412-925-4220 (cell)
