A few days ago I started this campaign to raise funds so my wife and I could renew our mobile devices. Like I said in that post, our devices are sort of a corner stone in our work. We keep track of our work, clients, events and finances with them and, also, create content to promote our work and to share with others what we have learned.
Her phone was almost dead, mine was in better shape, but it's low specs couldn't keep up with my work style. It would hang if I was using Ywallet and got an incoming call, it would force close apps in the background if using Telegram... Poor little thing.
But thanks to you guys, we were able to get our new devices 😊
I initially set the goal to 15 ZEC, hoping to afford a couple of ~$300 devices, one for her, one for me. Later, I realize I could still get some decent smartphones for less, so I lowered the goal to 12 ZEC.
The goal was "not met", but we still received some AWESOME 9 ZEC, in less than 10 days!!!! TEN---- DAYS! For us, living in a country with an uncertain and challenging economy, raising that ammount in 10 days is UNBELIEVABLE!!
We still had to adjust our budget, I had some money saved from my job and we couldn't afford one of the devices we were hoping to get, but found out that a "simpler" model of such device was available and still good, so we went for it!
In the end, with your 9 ZEC support and some of our savings, we were able to buy an Infinix Note 12 G96 for myself, with 8GBs RAM and 128GBs storage. That's 6GB MORE than my previous phone.
My wife needs a fancy camera, since she's a crafter and her products NEED to look great in a photo. So we got her a Redmi Note 11. It has 6GBs RAM but we found out its photo processing to be GREAT for her work.
And she already started, she created this spanish tutorial on how to craft some homemade paper tags for other crafters to use in their creations.
I, on the other hand, have been screen-capturing the process to do many things in an Android phone, from sharing documents via email, to formatting a document in a word processing app (you might not believe it, but some people here don't know how to do such things). I've also already recorded video for my Youtube channel, together with the audio narration I use to do for that task.
So we want to thank you, guys... 'Cause your help made all the difference! We are eager to keep using our new devices to improve our overall work and, specially, to bring more people to this awesome ecosystem. Cheers!
