We're not receiving enough testing feedback from users on Pixel Fold. Since it's not as common as other devices, we need a higher proportion of users to help with using the Beta channel and providing feedback for releases in our #testing:grapheneos.org channel on Matrix.

We'll need to be receiving feedback in order to continue supporting the Pixel Fold. It currently has official, fully functional and stable GrapheneOS support.

Continuation of that will depend on the community providing feedback due to an issue with the device we got for testing.

It's now possible to donate to the non-profit GrapheneOS Foundation via bank transfers in the EU/SEPA, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hungary, Singapore and Turkey. International wire transfers from elsewhere are not currently a supported option.

https://grapheneos.org/donate#wise

This donation method mostly has no fees on our end. The only exception is a 4.14 USD fee for SWIFT wire transfers within the US as opposed to ACH payments which are free to receive. ACH is usually free/cheap on sender side so use ACH rather than sending a domestic wire transfer.
