# This project is not a way for the website owner (me) to make money. At this time I have a regular job that pays me sufficiently and the Javul Paypal account is not setup to transfer money into my bank account. Any money that comes into the Paypal account can only be taken out if someone earns it through the website (engaging in site activity such as completing tasks).

# When money is involved, publicly funded projects on KickStarter are different from what happens on Javul because here there are no business owners who can take the money and disappear or not deliver what was promised. Everything is broken down into tasks that can be completed and there is full accountability. Kickstarter is only a fund-raising tool. | # When money is involved, publicly funded projects on KickStarter are different from what happens on Javul because here there are no business owners who can take the money and disappear or not deliver what was promised.

We all know that most adults have jobs and spend a large part of their lives doing something which they would not do if money was not involved. Earning money by doing certain tasks and jobs that need to be done is part of our current existence and way of life and it is ok to have a system where people get compensated (if they wish to be) for their contributions, whether its a regular job or something related to volunteering or activism. People can work on the site for free or for money so its a choice. There is no rule that says only people doing regular jobs can be compensated. If someone donates money with the desire that it can be used to compensate others and there are people who want to earn that money, that is a decision made by those two parties. Bystanders are not affected by it and should not criticize the system unless they can prove that having a system free of financial compensation is better. | ||
# If you are planning to donate for any initiative on Javul, small amounts of donations are ok at this point. The website is still new and we need time to work out issues. Eventually we will be able to make the most effective use of donated funds. If you are planning to donate a large amount, please email us about the amount and the purpose of the funds. When we think our website is ready to securely and effectively manage large amounts of funds we will let you know. | # If you are planning to donate for any initiative on Javul, small amounts of donations are ok at this point.
