[p2p-research] Hello this is my email

[Josef Davies-Coates]

Jonas, thanks so much for your generous offer! :)

I set-up the Ning so its probably easiest that I pay for the subscription
myself using my account.

If you have a UK bank account (although I'm assuming you don't) then the
best way (i.e. incurring the minimum charges) to contribute is probably
directly into my bank account. If you do have access to a UK bank account
then let me know and I'll give you my bank details.

Otherwise you can pay direct to my United Diversity's paypal account which
is linked to my josef at uniteddiversity.com email address.

Or just contribute via IndieGoGo  - I assume we'll receive slightly less
this way because IndieGoGo will take their cut but it might also be the most
effective way to encourage others - and, actually, at present IndieGoGo pay
a 5% bonus on any successful campaigns so: on balance it probably works out
best to simply pay through IndieGoGo (to encourage others to contribute
more, and to make it more likely we reach our goal and get that 5% bonus)

Thanks again,

Big smiles,

Josef.
