Looking for Work After 25 Years of Octave

$5,000 (will be) donated.

Tried to use PayPal. A Top Up to my PayPal account via Instant Bank Transfer worked fine, but when I tried to use the money by making a transfer to The Octave Guy, PayPal said my account had been frozen :-(

I have emailed the author and requested bank details in order to make a regular bank transfer instead.

I think you will only need to provide additional verification for PayPal and you'll be good to go. They need to do it because of anti money laundering laws - at least here in Europe, but it's probably similar in US.

When they catch big amount of money transfer for new accounts, they disable in order to secure it. With some verification -probably id, pasaport - they will send the money eventually. So I suggest to verify Paypal account which will be faster probably take a day.
