Suggestion: Create a mobile ECC app that allows in app purchases of donation features
Reason: While I feel like this would be a huge project, I think the outcome could be good. My idea for this came after I received a large number of itunes gift cards for christmas. If there were an app that allowed me to purchase donation features through it then the itunes gift cards could go to good use instead of horrible games/apps or wasteful in game purchases. It would open an entire new means of donation payment for the server for all users, not just myself. I have no knowledge of how the android apps work so I do not know if this would work for them as well or not (with a separate app of course, I at least know that much)
Any Other Information: I am not sure that this is even possible or plausible based on itunes rules or rates for processing in app purchases.

That is what I did not know, the cut apple takes compared to paypal

This was suggested fairly recently, too.

If Andrew were to just raise the price of each donation while using this app. He would get more money. I have like $100+ in iTunes gift cards. I don't use iTunes, i just download my music.

Both apple and google take 30% from in-app purchases. So I doubt this will happen.

I would easily spend over $600 if it was through Itunes. It is so much easier for me to use Itunes than Paypal +1

Also forgot to mention that only android has an sdk for paypal, iOS does not.
Meaning, andrew would need a developer account with apple, and use THEIR programs instead of paypal.
This means andrew would have to look at two places instead of 1 when processing donations.
This is messy. -

Also can you please elaborate on the need of a developer. What would the process for that be? -

Developer accounts are expensive, and nicit that was last year, so long ago :p

Even with my itunes gift cards I would rather pay $10 for a gift card than $13, so now that I know the markup from itunes I pretty much retract my suggestion
