Hello,

You forgot to mention that it was *donation*, not payment for any service
See the original announcement:
"Note that it is considered strictly a donation and you won't receive any extras in return except warm feeling that you helped the 
development of the software you are using and guarantee that if ever IBController changes its status (i.e. from free software to 
commercial one), you will have license to use it and receive free upgrades."

So, it was clearly stated that it is donation, wasn't it ?

The other thing is that although nearly 1000 people actually USE IB Controller (because they signed agreement for sending orders 
automatically)
guess how many decided to donate ? I will tell you: 7. Yes *seven*. It is appreciated, but at the same time it is sad that only 0.7% 
of people are keen
to voluntarily donate.

Becasue there was virtually no support from users in the form of actually paying a dime, that actually meant to me that I need to 
concentrate on things
that pay  any money instead of working for nothing.

BTW: you (and the other 6 people) can get your donated money back for IBc. Just send a request to support.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
