Given how long I've been using Graphene, this is not a bad idea also because there has been increasing pressure from governments clamping down on privacy solutions

Why not sell phones?

I got a Pixel 10 during prime day and installed GrapheneOS with Cape for the provider. So far, it's been mostly great. The only setback, for me, is the lack of support for tap to pay. I haven't been able to get any wallet app to work. I keep my iphone with minimal service mainly to still have tap to pay and do facetime with my book club.

Also, gonna post the crowdfunding link for Samuel Tunick, the American protestor facing federal charges for allegedly giving a DHS officer a GrapheneOS duress password: https://www.givesendgo.com/letsamgo It's important he beats his charges to prevent setting an unfavorable precedent for digital privacy rights.

They start their list with "GitHub Sponsors (credit card)", then list five cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Monero, Zcash, Ethereum, Cardano, Litecoin), two of which have "We aren't looking for donations of tokens, only Ethereum [resp. Cardano] itself." Then Wise Quick Pay, then Local Bank Transfer (providing the Wise bank details for Belgium, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hungary, and Turkey), then PayPal (in CAD, USD, EUR, GBP – pointing out the PayPal fee), and finally Interac e-Transfer. I wonder whether there's a reason for this order? Also, PayPal's fee, as described, is fairly steep: > PayPal charges a base fee of 30 cents and 2.9% of the donation amount within Canada. There's an additional 0.8% fee for donations from the US and 1% for other countries. Currency conversion adds an additional 4% fee as opposed to the usual PayPal conversion fee of 3%.

GrapheneOS looks pretty solid alas ios has the apps I prefer.

I always found it funny that the first step of leaving the Google smartphone ecosystem is to buy a Google phone

If I donate, can we get the Lineage keyboard with all the symbols in the same places? I'd actually love to have the Holo keyboard back. That was my favorite.

Here's hoping Pixel releases a flip phone 11 and Graphene support follows. The Motorola razr has crease issues that they seem to want to ignore and Samsung has locked down their phones so root is impractical.

I would if I could even use their OS. Pixel phones are not available in my country and to import them is to pay 3x the amount I would spend on another phone.

Just waiting for the Motorolas that will have first party graphene os support. That's the only thing that will make me change my phone from 2019 still on life support thanks to custom roms

I donate £10 a month to a rotating set of causes and Graphene OS is one. However they did recently say they have plenty of funding and need to start spending it. Ive tried and tried but I can't find the x post now
