gnu- Great idea you had to send in $5. I hope others will follow that example. When I have something to send I'll do so...as you suggest.

gnu, it isn't easy to exchamge foreign currency at banks in the US. They charge extra fees for it and it usually eats up a huge amount of the currency. I think they do this on purpose to discourage anyone trying. It's more work than its worth if you send Canadian currency, unless he has someone who will cash it out at par (maybe someone who would take it back to Canada when they go.) If he lived near the border there would probably be businesses that would do it.

How is the fundraising going? With all of the time offline yesterday, I wondered if Max was making some mechanical upgrades?

SRS (and everyone else who is following the fast paced and riveting story of the $5 I am gonna send to Max right away in hopes that Mudcat can continue to be such a valuable resource for the masses and, in my case, some might say, asses)... I am 99% sure delivery to Her Majesty's Roaly Canuck Postal Services, those fearless guys and gals who brave the elements... well unless it's really bad out... will be effected no later than tomorrow... sometime. Stay tuned for the final episode of the story tomorrow... I hope.

SRS, by law only Federal Reserve banks may deal in foreign currency. This means that a bank in Muleshoe, TX, would have to send the foreign money to a FR bank for exchange. This is expensive and a nuisance.

Many merchants along the Canada-U.S. border on both sides will take currency of either country, since shoppers go both ways and they aren't faced with the bank problem.

Staceys in Bangoh takes Canadian money at pah, by the bus load. At least, they did when the Canuck buck was low.

Hmmmm... maybe that's why the bus company went out of business just a little while ago?

Ya done good sg. Congrats. Yer lucky the auction closes at such a piss poor time of day fer the vast majority of potential bidders and, thereby, most "detrementally importantly", fer Mudcat. Otherwise, ya would had ta bid a lot higher... and Mudcat woulda made a lot more money.

Bringing this back to the top to remind people that Mudcat central is still working on an upgrade.

Maybe it's time to look into crowd funding sites. There are many options to choose from, and some are better than others for collecting funding from Europe versus the US/North America.

I'm pretty sure Max still needs a pile more money. I think Mudcat would run a lot faster if Max could buy a nice server.

Or in other words, "refresh".
