Nous venons de publier une mise à jour (attendue depuis longtemps) du statut de Liberapay : https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-status-update-a76403f4e0 (en anglais).

N.B. Only card payments are supported for now, but SEPA direct debits will become available once Stripe enables this payment method for our account.

Good news: the processing of payments through Stripe is now live!

If you use Liberapay to receive donations and you haven't connected a Stripe account, you should do that: https://liberapay.com/about/me/payment/ (If Stripe doesn't support your country you'll have to wait a little longer for the PayPal integration, sorry.)

If you use Liberapay as a donor you can open https://liberapay.com/about/me/giving/pay/ to see if you have donations awaiting payment. Or you can just wait, we'll notify you when a payment is needed.

If you have money in your Liberapay wallet, the time to withdraw it is now: https://liberapay.com/about/me/wallet/payout

Tomorrow we will refund as much money as possible from donor accounts, so if you haven't distributed the remaining funds from your wallet to the people and projects you support, please do it now: https://liberapay.com/about/me/wallet/empty

You can find more information in our blog post: https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-is-in-trouble-b58b40714d82

To all of you who have chosen to transfer the money left in your wallets to the people you support: thank you! These donations transferred "in advance" now sum up to over €20000 and $3400!

The Mangopay exodus is proceeding well so far: €5100 and $600 have already been transferred from the wallets of donors to creators, while €4800 and $440 have been refunded to donors instead.

(If you don't know what this toot is about you should read our blog post: https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-is-in-trouble-b58b40714d82 )

We've fixed several bugs in the donation disbursement process so if you tried earlier today or yesterday and you got a 500 error code then you should try again.

If you get a 400 error code instead, with the message "The attempt to distribute all the money in your wallet failed: X.XX remains", see https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.com/issues/1172

Liberapay is in trouble, here's our blog post that explains the situation and what you should do if you're one of our 2000 active users: https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-is-in-trouble-b58b40714d82

We're back to normal now, and this week's donations have been processed successfully: €2,772.81 and $473.13 has been transferred between 2054 users.

We are having serious problems with our payment processor Mangopay today, as a result adding or withdrawing money is not possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.

📈 This week 500 creators have received donations via Liberapay, totaling €2725 and $566, from 1641 patrons.

📈 This week €2366 and $453 of donations have been transferred from 1489 patrons to 453 creators and projects. https://liberapay.com/about/stats

The well-known free software image editor GIMP now has its own team account on Liberapay: https://liberapay.com/GIMP

This means that you can donate to the project as a whole, then its members will decide how to split the money, whereas previously you had to figure out by yourself who the contributors are and how much to donate to each one.
