Most recently, Codeforces has celebrated its 8th birthday — a binary jubilee, the 1000th anniversary! I hope that my idea has worked and the result of the efforts has become an important part of the world of programming contests. I look enthusiastically at the future of the platform and I hope that the Codeforces team will be able to please with innovations, improvements and rounds over and over again.
Friends, we will be glad and grateful to a gift from you, your contribution to the future of Codeforces. Your donations will allow us to move forward and implement ideas. I appeal to all those who are not indifferent to the fate of Codeforces for support. Your help will not only give us the resources to work and develop, but will also inspire us as an affirmation of the demand for our efforts.
We need resources to pay rewards for problem writers and coordinators, development, operations and hardware upgrade. Work on Codeforces never stops. Please read the report on the results of 2017. One more year we have not slowed down, are full of enthusiasm and we are glad to see the growing audience of Codeforces.
For 8 years of work, Codeforces has helped many programmers learn more, gain new skills. I am sure that we can do even more in our common forces.
Thank you, Founder and CEO, Codeforces Mike Mirzayanov
that was a lie that were told to ISIS terrorists so that they will be convinced to make bomb attack in US,UK,France and other countries! and go to heaven! and enjoy 72 women but that is not true!!! i have read quran more than 10 times and never come across to things that are written in this site!!! https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Houri
Generally, we shouldn't construct our concepts on partial knowledges about things and then post that weakly constructed concepts. So, I prefer to say to you that a lot of tons of such problems (or questions) with Islam had been solved (or answered) before, and they are repeatedly published every time, and then they are solved again and again. So, we really should search for those answers to be sure about our concepts, and until that time, we shouldn't share those concepts with others.
For the problem that you talked about, Allah says to us like this: do what I say that you have to do and don't do what I say that you have to not do, then you will access the heaven which has things you cannot even imagine them.
And among those things, there will be delicious food, dulcet drinks and Al-Hour Al-Eeen.
Firstly, Quran didn't say that women will not have men in the heaven, but instead, Quran said that we will have what we want in the heaven.
Secondly, how does the concept of Al-Hour Al-Eeen present women as sex objects? don't you know that among the things that Allah warns us from doing it there is dealing with women in carnality and degenerate ways, so we avoid falling in adultery and other bad things, thus we have to deal with the woman from her mind, morals, etc.?
In the end, I prefer to summarize the concept:
Don't deal with women in carnality ways and you will satisfy your desires in the heaven.
(Remember, also women have to not deal with men in that ways, and also, they will be given in the heaven what satisfy their desires).
hey! you're from China!I'm a freshman majoring CS just began to write codes. how did you start coding on the website?I mean that's unusual that a bank assistant with skills of coding.That's outstanding!you must be really smart! Why don't find a job as a programmer?You're from Zhejiang,there are numerous opportunities in Hangzhou,why don't have a try? Hope you could earn a lot of money , then you could buy this hoodie!
hello, I am a software engineer work in a bank. I used to be an ACM-er in university. days of last periods since I am not so busy so I created a new account in codeforces and joined some competitions. I am not smart and I am not hard working,so after several years' of working out, I finally going back to home. I am a bad example ~ So as Thomas Edison says: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Without the one percent of inspiration, all the perspiration in the world is only a bucket of sweat. (天才,靠得是百分之一的天赋和百分子九十九的努力) wish you work hard and get good grades :))
why does the payment page appear in Russian and not in English? How can I fill the respective info. in the fields if I do not know Russian? MikeMirzayanov Can you please look into the issue.
Yes I do have a card. But in China, most cards don't support visa nor paypal. We have some thing else like this called UnionPay. And most people I know don't have a card with these icon on it.
ps: I'm a high school student, and just reached 16 years old, which is Chinese legal age for bank card. So some of my classmates don't have a card. :P
No card has Paypal's logo on it, just like it would neither have Alipay's logo or WeChat Pay's logo. Enter your card number in Paypal and they will immediately tell you whether it is supported. This is faster than googling.
Well in China only people with income have credit cards,and law forbids underage worker,so many student do not have credit card,thus they cannot use paypal easily. Although,some debit cards from some banks seems be able to use on paypal too(but others can't).
In a sense, I hope you will be able to add WeChat or Alipay payment for codeforces as this has greatly helped Chinese players. I think this will be more convenient than PayPal, anyway, Happy birthday to codeforces!
Done! It feels great to help you after all the help you gave us. I hope these donations allow Codeforces to become an even better competitive programming site! Keep it going MikeMirzayanov! :)
cout<<"HAPPY_BIRTHDAY ! Codeforces\n"; cout<<"thank you for giving us a big opportunity to improve our programming skills\n"; cout<<"..............From Syria..............";
Donated because of the huge tool you have created that has given so many of my students an opportunity to train and be recruited to schools with ACM ICPC programs. I saw atleast one other alumni to my program donate as well. So I am happy to support.
Supported. I hope there will be more contests in convenient time (not midnight) for China (and other East Asia countries such as Japan) in the future, since Codeforces has become a global platform, and I'm sure a lot of supporters in this campaign are from timezones like mine and have to stay up late to take part in "usual time" rounds. Anyway, thank you MikeMirzayanov for your hard and dedicated work in the past 8 years.
Mike, thanks for doing such an amazing job running Codeforces and making it into one of the best communities out there. We really appreciate everything you've done and all the countless hours you've poured into making these competitions possible.
I'm sad that i couldn't find the Alipay port. so that I couldn't donate for it…… I am sorry for it. also sorry for my poor English…… best wishes to CF! happy birthday!
Happy birthday Codeforces! I just donated a bit to support the really great platform :)
As a Chinese user, I tried to use Paypal via UnionPay debit card but failed with unknown reason. And only my MasterCard in PayPal paid successfully. Hope other Chinese users can complete donation via UnionPay debit card.
I have a problem paying with Credit Card. PayPal Processing gateway is not working, I will see this message in the process "This recipient is currently unable to receive money.". And YandexMoney GateWay does not support the country in which my credit card issued! What Should I do?
Hi Mike, Other than monetary support, I would suggest you to start selling some Codeforces merchandise, esp, the t-shirt you are wearing :) I would love to buy one.
When I spent hard time for getting a job, I stopped solving coding problems. Codeforces gave me great motivation and could get over slumps. Thanks Codeforces and happy birthday!
Have you considered adding HTTPS support to the site? It's especially useful when you ask people to donate money. With HTTP, it's possible for a man-in-the-middle to replace the link to the donation page, and steal your money. I'm 95% sure that didn't happen in this case, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
HTTPS support would also improve the security of logged in users. It would prevent things like revealing user's passwords and hijacking session cookies.
Happy birthday CodeForces! Although I am just a newbie in this website with no money could be paid, the only thing I can do is sending my blessings from my heart to CodeForces!
When I try to pay via paypal I receive this error: https://imgur.com/a/apDAg I talked with Mike, he created an invoice for me but when I try to pay I receive the same error https://imgur.com/a/D4MQk. Same problem when I try to make a direct payment.
Is there someone who payed via paypal and it worked for you? Maybe I can send you the money and you pay for me? Can someone please help?
Since, I have started doing Codeforces. I just love it. I feel bad sometimes when server goes down or if some contest gets unrated. I don't have that much money to support you guys. But, I always wish Codeforces remains as healthy as ever, and always flourishing. Thanks [user:Mike Mirzayanov] and all the CF team for maintaining such a wonderful thing.
Is there a way for me to donate ? (I'm from Lebanon, I have a credit card that I have used to make payments to foreign websites, including in Europe). But when I choose Visa, Lebanon does not appear in the country list. Also I tried through Yandex, but it says that linking my card doesn't work, also because of my country.
With a credit card (Mastercard brand), I had no problem to pay via Paypal. I'm using the one created in Republic of Korea. You may contact Paypal to ask detail reason.
When I try to use Visa option through Yandex gateway, I get the following:
Sorry, but we do not currently accept payments from the country where your card was issued. If you have another card, try using it. Or select another payment method.
The card is issued in one of the Nordic countries. Why are these payments not supported?
Sad news. PayPal has blocked my account because of unusual activity. I already provided all information they requested, but it could take several days to process it.
Happy BDay Codeforces And Happy First Night Happy honeymoon, and wish to have beautiful kids. i wanted to send money but i dont want to waste money for this sh** Site so i won't sent money. but i can help with other ways. u can borrow toilet paper from me its rly free but i want 10 $ in return 0; .
I have a suggestion. Since the goal amount has already been accomplished, the remaining amount is most probably going to excess funds (which is a good thing)!
But since people will be helping next year as well, so these can be used to give away CF T-Shirts to winners/participants of some rated rounds once in a while which will be better as currently only 2-3 CF contests give away T-shirts an year.
Hooray! PayPal has reviewed my account and unblocked it with the best wishes on the 8-th anniversary. Now we can accept non-Russian credit cards and PayPal transfers again!
I'm trying to donate but when using PayPal it says Sorry we do not accept PayPal for now. Please, try later. and when switch to YandexMoney it says Sorry, but we do not currently accept payments from the country where your card was issued. :(
This site creates an addiction for programmers for programming through its contents. It is amazing in a word. Congratulations for 8 years celebration :D
MikeMirzayanov, I donated 5 dollars some time ago (like a month), and won my place in the list of gratitude. Would it be possible for me to donate 10 more dollars and gain the profile badge?
Hi... codeforces....I am not a regular coder but still trying to be regular. I have started my journey with codeforces 2.5 years back and still with you. Best wish and Congratulations for the 8th year passing by ceremony. I wish you the best of luck for the next :)
It seems that in the payment gateway, there isn't an option for India in the dropdown menu for the country to be selected.
Hi! Try credit card + PayPal, after it "Don't have a PayPal account? Continue."
.
Problem resolved Thank you
There is no Cuba in the dropdown :(
A sad issue ... Codefoces has helped Cuba a lot but we have no means to support it :(
Happy birthday, Codeforces !!!
What does the special badge of honor look like for the $15 donation?
You can look at it on my profile.
Much thanks.
Edit: I should've asked earlier but is the badge for the entire year or permanent?
Permanent, you can see other year's badges in ppls profiles like this: http://codeforces.com/profile/tomasf
CODEFORCES IS THE BEST!

Happy Birthday! Codeforces
Fortunately, your codeforces has been 8 years :)
Do I go to heaven if I donate??
You get 72 pornstars there.
Why 72 I am curious? rotation in 3 days?
Because it's the Islamic myth that you get 72 virgins in heaven.
As a Muslim, I never heard about that myth..
And uh.. I thought that 72 meant 72 upvotes of his comment, lol.
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Houri
that was a lie that were told to ISIS terrorists so that they will be convinced to make bomb attack in US,UK,France and other countries! and go to heaven! and enjoy 72 women but that is not true!!! i have read quran more than 10 times and never come across to things that are written in this site!!! https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Houri
sorry for my bad english.
Regardless of number, men are promised virgins in heaven. And the overall concept just presents women as sex objects, fruits best served ripe.
Hello dear, I'm Muslim.
Generally, we shouldn't construct our concepts on partial knowledges about things and then post that weakly constructed concepts. So, I prefer to say to you that a lot of tons of such problems (or questions) with Islam had been solved (or answered) before, and they are repeatedly published every time, and then they are solved again and again.

(Remember, also women have to not deal with men in that ways, and also, they will be given in the heaven what satisfy their desires).
I was waiting for this xD
Yeah,but you need to donate quite a lot of money.Maybe when you donate $2147483648 something interesting will happen,who knows.
Anyone wanna help CSACADEMY?
I'm a LOWB, but I'm happy.
What does the hoodie look like?
Like this! :)
wow nice :) you and the T-shirt
Nice
Thank you! We think, that the hoodie is nice too (:
Smooth.
Wooooooow :) ,How you took this T-shirt?
I joined Codeforces team :)
Will it be possible to give hoddie back and get new one in the other size if it won't fit?
Are the hoodies rather larger or smaller? For example what size are you wearing there?
The clothes is quite fit for you. It's beautiful! But I think I cannot afford $150 to buy it,because my salary is only $500 per month. o(︶︿︶)o
I think I will buy it when I am rich (*^-^*)
hey! you're from China!I'm a freshman majoring CS just began to write codes. how did you start coding on the website?I mean that's unusual that a bank assistant with skills of coding.That's outstanding!you must be really smart! Why don't find a job as a programmer?You're from Zhejiang,there are numerous opportunities in Hangzhou,why don't have a try? Hope you could earn a lot of money , then you could buy this hoodie!
hello, I am a software engineer work in a bank.

wish you work hard and get good grades :))wow,beautiful
why does the payment page appear in Russian and not in English? How can I fill the respective info. in the fields if I do not know Russian? MikeMirzayanov Can you please look into the issue.
Hacky solution:
change the ru in the URL to en. Otherwise you can use google translate.
I'd like to donate, but I'm sad to see that there's no way for me to donate :(
As a Chinese student , I can only use things like wechat's pay.
So I can only bless for codeforces..
Best Wishes to codeforces !
Thank you.
You do not have a card? Looks unexpected for me. For example, in Russia almost every student has a card.
Possibly, you can ask parents/friends to help you.
Yes I do have a card. But in China, most cards don't support visa nor paypal. We have some thing else like this called UnionPay. And most people I know don't have a card with these icon on it.
ps: I'm a high school student, and just reached 16 years old, which is Chinese legal age for bank card. So some of my classmates don't have a card. :P
Not checked, but Paypal may support UnionPay https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-use-a-Chinese-debit-card-with-PayPal
What?! I've never checked that! I didn't see paypal's logo on my card so I thought my card won't support it! Thanks a lot!
In China, even if some cards support UnionPay, they cannot be bound by PayPal. (The card must be a credit or debit card)
For example this picture:![](/predownloaded/90/f3/90f37dc3062fe0838614150c241d3fcca01f9c60.png)
You can buy a gift card on taobao.com
If you need help, send me your WeChat ID.
I'm Chinese student and I'm pretty sure that Paypal supports UnionPay debit cards because I've used it many times.
Edit: see my account which has UnionPay cards: https://imgur.com/a/q4nkK
What?! I've never checked that! I didn't see paypal's logo on my card so I thought my card won't support it! Thanks a lot!
No card has Paypal's logo on it, just like it would neither have Alipay's logo or WeChat Pay's logo. Enter your card number in Paypal and they will immediately tell you whether it is supported. This is faster than googling.
有中国版的paypal的,可以donate
Paypal supports ICBC's debit card.
I just used an UnionPay Card by Paypal to donate to codeforeces.
Well in China only people with income have credit cards,and law forbids underage worker,so many student do not have credit card,thus they cannot use paypal easily. Although,some debit cards from some banks seems be able to use on paypal too(but others can't).
I don't think Paypal will care if a card is a credit card or a debit card. Once UnionPay is supported, a card could be easily used by Paypal.
I prefer Alipay.
In a sense, I hope you will be able to add WeChat or Alipay payment for codeforces as this has greatly helped Chinese players. I think this will be more convenient than PayPal, anyway, Happy birthday to codeforces!
I want to donate my money,but i'm just a middle school student(poor simgle man). I can just hope codeforces will become better and better.
Can someone tell me why users downvote me ? i posted this to get help not to get downvote
I'm not sure, but maybe you should provide more information?
It's not easy to help you with only this screen shot.
Anyway, you just sent a screen shot without any words. Maybe that's why people downvote you.
8* Happy Birthday Codeforces
Happy birthday Codeforces!! such a good platform for learning and improving programming skills.
Hope it will continue many more years with lot of innovations to help future generations as well.
I let my friend help me to donate $15, but there is no special badge. What's wrong? The order number is 18778985584495745
UPD: I have got it . Thank you.
It appears now!
Maybe it simply takes time?
Done! It feels great to help you after all the help you gave us. I hope these donations allow Codeforces to become an even better competitive programming site! Keep it going MikeMirzayanov! :)
What does the stickers look like?
Like this! (:
P.S.: The colour on my photo isn't as good as stickers.
wow! wth!
*_*
too damn nice!
*_*
And I'm pretty sure, if someone asks what aliens look like, you send your photo with one of them! :D
Oh, i have one
Happy birthday codeforces
Love you Mike!
Out of curiosity — who was the one who donated $1000 (if he is willing to tell of course).
if he doesn't tell here, we will know when the round is in his honor
Would be interesting if he donated $1000 and chose to remain anonymous.
Are you talking about me?
And will that contest be rated?
Couple organizations (mail.ru, AIMTECH, ...) have donated 1 000$ on the previous anniversary.
They donated this time too I guess , as no of 1K $ donors are now 5 and they are recent in the list.
I believe it's one of the first 7 supporters as I saw the $1000 claimed before I donated.
It's one of the first 3 supporters actually (I saw before mine).
Except, they remain anonymous (just, WOW).
Happy Birthday, Codeforces, I love you!!!
I love you to!!!
Happy Birthday Codeforces!! You are simply amazing :)
Does the T-shirt have the same design as the hoodie? gKseni
It will be new secret design!
Happy Birthday, Codeforces! Wish you to be faster and better in testing of our solutions!
No bitcoins? (:
cout<<"HAPPY_BIRTHDAY ! Codeforces\n"; cout<<"thank you for giving us a big opportunity to improve our programming skills\n"; cout<<"..............From Syria..............";
Why no
cout
for this? Edit this quickly before anyone notices the compilation error.Shouldn't tourist be LGM? Just a joke.
Happy birthday Codeforces!
Wow, fixed! Amazing!
Haha, after yesterday's contest there should be Petr. XD It is just a joke)
It should be Um_nik now! A joke too.
Now it's back to tourist! (Well it doesn't matter anymore now that the campaign's finished)
Donated because of the huge tool you have created that has given so many of my students an opportunity to train and be recruited to schools with ACM ICPC programs. I saw atleast one other alumni to my program donate as well. So I am happy to support.
Have a great day!
Hope that the Codeforces will be better and better, many thanks, beyond words.
I am a chinese ,i want to help codeforces ,but it is not support alipay .And i only have alipay.
Supported. I hope there will be more contests in convenient time (not midnight) for China (and other East Asia countries such as Japan) in the future, since Codeforces has become a global platform, and I'm sure a lot of supporters in this campaign are from timezones like mine and have to stay up late to take part in "usual time" rounds. Anyway, thank you MikeMirzayanov for your hard and dedicated work in the past 8 years.
Mike, thanks for doing such an amazing job running Codeforces and making it into one of the best communities out there. We really appreciate everything you've done and all the countless hours you've poured into making these competitions possible.
I'm sad that i couldn't find the Alipay port. so that I couldn't donate for it…… I am sorry for it. also sorry for my poor English…… best wishes to CF! happy birthday!
It is frustrating that you don't accept Alipay or WeChat,so that we many Chinese people can't subsidies you conveniently.
Please, try this http://codeforces.com/8years?#comment-418617
People from China confirm that it works.
Thanks!
If I do not donate $1000, but instead I steal $1000 from Codeforces, I am no longer the tourist of support. But am I the tourist of adc?
It's a magical progress……So,why not APC?![](/predownloaded/1f/a7/1fa7fecbd9aff2d1bf68bb5883a25843445b0308)
if there is some way for chinese to pay,i think the project will be finished much more quickly :(
Please, try this http://codeforces.com/8years?#comment-418617
People from China confirm that it works.
Thanks!
I means that most of chinese user is student,so we can denote just in (some convenient ways in China) :( such as ZHIFUBAO and wechat
Yep.Even Apple Pay may be a good choice.For most of us,Paypal is too trouble.
I can pay for you, and you can pay me through the alipay (zhifubao).
Happy birthday Codeforces, your work is excellent!!
Emmm Can you receive anything like bitcoin/eth/... ?
Happy birthday Codeforces! I just donated a bit to support the really great platform :)
As a Chinese user, I tried to use Paypal via UnionPay debit card but failed with unknown reason. And only my MasterCard in PayPal paid successfully. Hope other Chinese users can complete donation via UnionPay debit card.
Happy birthday again!
I have a problem paying with Credit Card. PayPal Processing gateway is not working, I will see this message in the process "This recipient is currently unable to receive money.". And YandexMoney GateWay does not support the country in which my credit card issued! What Should I do?
Hmm... Is it me doing something wrong or ... ?
Found a possible reason
the receiver's PayPal account has had a limitation placed on it.
Fixed, thanks.
Hi Mike, Other than monetary support, I would suggest you to start selling some Codeforces merchandise, esp, the t-shirt you are wearing :) I would love to buy one.
Happy Birthday!
I think that you should add the AliPay for Chinese.
Second.
Happy birthday, Codeforces.
So happy to get a badge of honor!
What does the T-shirts look like? Is it same the T-shirts the man in Youtube was wearing?
He is MikeMirzayanov
Bad for us ( Iranians ) that we cant help :( anyway hope good year for CF and it users :)
Yes Mehdi(Mahdi_Hajibeygi), I agree you. It's so sad that we are excluded from helping CF because of political reasons :'(
Him too
Hes lying im a iranian and you can doit they are doing this for continuoun y
Happy Birthday codeforces :)
When I spent hard time for getting a job, I stopped solving coding problems. Codeforces gave me great motivation and could get over slumps. Thanks Codeforces and happy birthday!
Happy Birthday codeforces, Best of wishes
Hey Siri, How can I help CF from Iran! :D
So you can buy Bit coin but not a simple paypal payment, I think mike will accept in bitcoin too.
Is it rated?

Mike, great work on the site so far!
Have you considered adding HTTPS support to the site? It's especially useful when you ask people to donate money. With HTTP, it's possible for a man-in-the-middle to replace the link to the donation page, and steal your money. I'm 95% sure that didn't happen in this case, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
HTTPS support would also improve the security of logged in users. It would prevent things like revealing user's passwords and hijacking session cookies.
We have plans to support HTTPS.
Finally!
Dear Codeforces,
Happy Birthday and also congrats to MikeMirzayanov for such a great platform (I never had a chance to be a problem setter and say these words:)
I was with you since Round 6 and once upon a time I could be a red coder (back to 2011 when 2000+ users were used to wear a red handle :D )
We owe you a lot and these donations is the least thing we can do for you.
Best wishes and keep going <3
Happy birthday, Codeforces!!!
Did there hava Alipay? I only hava Alipay.
Happy birthday CF!
What a pity, I could only pay through my WeChat Wallet :(
Happy birthday CodeForces! Although I am just a newbie in this website with no money could be paid, the only thing I can do is sending my blessings from my heart to CodeForces!
Happy birthday CF !!! and I have an important question where I can support you? Upd : oh , I didnt see this function on the phone:)
Hi. Thank you! You can PM me.
happy birthday Codeforces .
Codechef is the superior platform!
Happy birthday, CF!!
生日快乐,但我需要用支付宝才能支付。 Happy birthday, but I need to pay with Alipay.
When I try to pay via paypal I receive this error: https://imgur.com/a/apDAg
I talked with Mike, he created an invoice for me but when I try to pay I receive the same error https://imgur.com/a/D4MQk.
Same problem when I try to make a direct payment.
Is there someone who payed via paypal and it worked for you?
Maybe I can send you the money and you pay for me?
Can someone please help?
Maybe we Chinese need WeChat Payment... I have no credit card... w(゚Д゚)w
Happy birthday, Codeforces!!!
Since, I have started doing Codeforces. I just love it. I feel bad sometimes when server goes down or if some contest gets unrated. I don't have that much money to support you guys.

Is there a way for me to donate ? (I'm from Lebanon, I have a credit card that I have used to make payments to foreign websites, including in Europe). But when I choose Visa, Lebanon does not appear in the country list. Also I tried through Yandex, but it says that linking my card doesn't work, also because of my country.
Have you tried linking it to PayPal?
Yes, I tried using Paypal (without having a paypal account, because Paypal doesn't work in Lebanon).
I want to donate some money, but it says the card company rejects my payment. Is there an easy way for Koreans to donate?
Visa/MasterCard is the best choice for Koreans, maybe.
Also, you can use PayPal with your bank account. (Just google it!)
I used paypal, but the payment is rejected.
With a credit card (Mastercard brand), I had no problem to pay via Paypal. I'm using the one created in Republic of Korea. You may contact Paypal to ask detail reason.
That's amazing i am proud to be apart of the elite in competitive programming as a newbie.
Hope to add Alipay to the ways.You know,in China,our credit card cannot(or is difficult?)to be opearated on the ways above.
90% done! <3
99% now! :D
10K$ Done!:)
MikeMirzayanov what would you do whit this money? ^_^
as a primary school student,I still donated money 15$(From my scholarship) hope many upvotes :)
Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Codeforces.
I will graduate from university this year. Wish we all have a better tomorrow.
congratulations!!
You have to change the "tourist of support" to "Petr of support" after VKCup round 1:D
See previous comments it is already mentioned!
sorry i didin't see that
Hm, smth seems to be broken, both with Ya.Money and Paypal:
![](/predownloaded/59/20/592084be998867a030c57f8027fc8e598a7230c1.png)
I faced the same problem too right now. :(
Me too :(
I'll look into it asap.
Now when i donate $1000 i should be Petr of support :D
YOOOOOOU also see previous comments it is already mentioned!
I didnt read them, just wrote what i thought.
When I try to use Visa option through Yandex gateway, I get the following:
Sorry, but we do not currently accept payments from the country where your card was issued. If you have another card, try using it. Or select another payment method.
The card is issued in one of the Nordic countries. Why are these payments not supported?
Please, try PayPal gateway to process a card.
Great, thanks! I will try as soon as PayPal works again.
as a syrian who have not any electronic payment method($x); my donate will be thank you very much codeforces :) for every thing you do
<3
Love You
A slightly interesting observation here that the top 5 ranked list guys all of them have donated but from ranks 6-10 , nobody donated :P :P
Come on, donation is not showing off, they might have chosen to get no rewards :)
MikeMirzayanov Is MikeMirzayanov enough to make codefores better
I get a Paypal error: "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." Do you know how to fix it?
Sad news. PayPal has blocked my account because of unusual activity. I already provided all information they requested, but it could take several days to process it.
Can't an alternative way to donate be made available? I am from India using Mastercard. Yandex money doesn't work for Non Russians :(
This is how people love codeforces. completed 100% with 39 days left
happy birthday! codefroces
Will paypal return as a possibility for payment method?
As a Brazilian I think that PayPal is the only viable method...
I hope, but I'm still waiting for the response from PayPal.
Happy BDay Codeforces And Happy First Night Happy honeymoon, and wish to have beautiful kids. i wanted to send money but i dont want to waste money for this sh** Site so i won't sent money. but i can help with other ways. u can borrow toilet paper from me its rly free but i want 10 $ in return 0; .
I have a suggestion. Since the goal amount has already been accomplished, the remaining amount is most probably going to excess funds (which is a good thing)!
But since people will be helping next year as well, so these can be used to give away CF T-Shirts to winners/participants of some rated rounds once in a while which will be better as currently only 2-3 CF contests give away T-shirts an year.
Do I have to select an adress where you can deliver the T-shirt, and is there extra cost for delivery,and how much will it take to deliver?
How can I donate?
I would like to support Codeforces and receive the hoodie gift but payment with VISA cannot be accessed in Korea. What problem?
Can I pay pay with VISA card in Korea and can you deliver the hoodie gift into Korea?
Sorry, the only way to accept international cards is PayPal. Now my account is blocked for investigation. I'm still waiting for response from PayPal.
MikeMirzayanov When will the paypal issue be fixed (YandexMoney does not support romanian credit/debit cards)
Hooray! PayPal has reviewed my account and unblocked it with the best wishes on the 8-th anniversary. Now we can accept non-Russian credit cards and PayPal transfers again!
Hi,Still says paypal not accepted
It seems that the block on the payment method choice page isn't lifted yet? Or actually the PayPal method got problematic again?
Happy birthday codeforces
Happy Birthday CodeForces! (My Comment Was Just a Joke) :)

I'm trying to donate but when using PayPal it says Sorry we do not accept PayPal for now. Please, try later. and when switch to YandexMoney it says Sorry, but we do not currently accept payments from the country where your card was issued. :(
What should i do?!!
UDP PayPal is working now.
May I change the delivery address? It seemed like the payment through PayPal didn't let me change the delivery address...
We will ask to update profile address all the supporters. So just update your profile. Thanks!
thanks for this wonderful community.
I am in china, sorry I can not use paypal. Ali pay or Weixin pay is used in China.
I think one of rewards should be some kind of sound playing when you AC problems :).
and ballons
Maybe that should just be a feature (: I don't think you should have to pay for any functionality, that would ruin the spirit.

When via Cc thru PayPal gateway, I get "To comply with international regulations, this transaction has been declined."
I'm from the Dominican Republic and can't donate through YandexMoney either. What can I do?
In case anyone experiences the same: I was able to donate via an incognito window and NOT logging in to PayPal.
"Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later." :(
This site creates an addiction for programmers for programming through its contents. It is amazing in a word. Congratulations for 8 years celebration :D
Happy birthday!Sorry I am only 14, I have no income source, so I cannot help you codeforce.
replace tourist of support with Um_nik of support
replace Um_nik of support with Petr of support
Petr now No.1
seems no one likes petr
seems no one likes you...
MikeMirzayanov, I donated 5 dollars some time ago (like a month), and won my place in the list of gratitude. Would it be possible for me to donate 10 more dollars and gain the profile badge?
I wonder is it possible to mail the donation rewards to China?
Hi, how can I select the size of my T-shirt and hoodie?
OK, it's in my personal settings.
I can't find an option for Bangladesh in the drop down menu for the country selection!
Happy birthday CodeForces
