How can I donate to SDF? Is there an alternate option to mail/PayPal?
On this page: http://sdf.org/?tutorials/donations it says there's 2 ways to donate. However neither of those seem possible for me.
-Paypal: In Slovakia it doesn't give me the "Pay as Guest" option and I really don't want to create PayPal account. And even if I wanted, I can't because I am not 18 yet.
-By mail: This seemed like a possible option. However I found that Slovak Post forbids sending banknotes or coins of any value via regular mail (for which shipping would cost €1.60) and instead only allows them in insured packages in which case the shipping would be €20.50 💀
Is there a different option, maybe something like OpenCollective or similar? (It's possible I missed something)
I don't need to donate to get verified, I got verified by different user already, I just want to.
Thanks.

I'm not aware of Slovakian law. But every other postal service in western Europe bans sending cash by mail for insurance reason. They don't want you to ask for the money back if it doesn't reach the destination. But they actually don't track down people sending money. I've sent cash by mail many times without any issue. Hide it in a folded A4 paper, so that it's not visible when looking through the envelope, and it should be fine, it has a 99.99% of arriving like any other letter.
That's my 2 cents.
