Donation
Donations allow users to support E-Hentai financially. Currently, the method for doing this is limited to using Bitcoins.
How-To
- Convert funds to BitCoins or use the BitCoin network through a client such as Bitcoin-qt.
- Visit the Bitcoin Donation page here.
- Send the desired amount of BitCoins to the wallet on the page (unique to each user; note that this is a deposit only wallet and may not be used for any other purposes).
- Enter an amount in USD to donate (or Adopt-A-Server).
- BitCoins in your E-Hentai wallet will be converted to US dollars at the time you apply them to a donation, using the exchange rate shown on the Bitcoin Donation page. E-Hentai currently uses whichever is highest of the 7-day and 24-hour weighted averages provided by bitcoincharts.com, plus a 10% bonus to cover transaction fees and random volatility. It is recommended for those who have just purchased BitCoins to complete the transfer immediately.
- Users DO NOT need to send Tenboro a PM after the transaction has been confirmed; the donation will be credited automatically.
Buying BitCoins
- The most recommended sites to use are Coinbase, Bitstamp, or BTC-e.
- To buy from other individuals (mostly for smaller amounts) use LocalBitcoins.
- For more alternatives see here.
Rewards
- Donations are cumulative; e.g. if a user donates $20 then an additional $30 later on, that will count as $50 in donations for that user's donation level.
- Adopt-A-Server slots are NOT considered donations and thus do not count towards a user's donation level.
One-Time
- 10,000 credits per every dollar donated.
Stars
Stars are gained by reaching certain donation amounts. These rewards are permanent and cannot be deactivated. Stars determine the amounts of GP, credits, and Hath received every Dawn of a New Day. Users can go to this page to check the total amount they have donated.
Users will only have the best set of benefits available to them; if a user had Bronze, and then donated enough to get Silver, Silver would replace Bronze and they would receive the benefits of Ads-Be-Gone and Tag Flagging as well as Source Nexus but only 50 extra misc galleries. Thumbnail row "ranks" refer to additional thumbnail rows that stack with the related Hath Perks (e.g. a user with The Big Picture and a Gold star will have 26 rows).

Alternatives
Those willing to spend money to support the site but who are unable to donate via BitCoin may also consider Renting A Seedbox.
Other Methods
No other methods are usable for donating due to various complications. There are no plans for this to change. Users who wish to use PayPal or other third-party services to acquire BitCoins may do so via VirWoX.
PayPal
PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy states that "You may not use the PayPal service for activities that: (2) relate to transactions involving (h) certain sexually oriented materials"; no definition is given for "certain sexually oriented materials". They may freeze accounts and deduct $2,500 per violation (as a "reasonable minimum") from any account at their sole discretion. Transactions for "sexually oriented digital goods delivered through a digital medium" and non-U.S.-only transactions for physically deliverable sexual goods are specifically prohibited.
