Could it be explained how to pay for the program without having a credit card and/or a Paypal account (see post #103)?

I am open to suggestions there, if someone wants to use normal mail, I am more then willing to it and in fact already had 2 people use it.
The second recourse will be me holding contests in the upcoming months, I need to finish getting some things in place before getting there but it will revolve around the demo/free versions. Thats still in the planning stages.
Maybe you can help me, how do you pay for things like this and not have a credit card or paypal (This is a serious question because I do not know, I am learning and most of all, I am really trying to figure out how to resolve this for you)

Vascant, you're from the U.S., right? That complicates things a lot. Transfers to American banks from Europe are quite prohibitive due to all the banking fees. It may be worse if yours is a small bank that does not receive transfers from overseas directly, as each middle bank charges its own fee. If your program costs USD 15, I'd have to pay at least the same amount in fees. So I'm rather at a loss...

Nope, and I'm gonna pay the equivalent of over 20 USD per year to get a credit card...

I honestly would suggest either getting a credit card or a paypal account or sucking up the fees if the program is worth that much to you. I know a ton of products that you would have the same problems with getting whom only accept paypal and credit card. Its not fair to Vascent to provide you a free copy (which it feels like you're getting at) because you live in Europe. Even though he's not trying to profit from it he has placed the price of the program. How you get it seems to be on you.silvermane said:
Oh I am not worried about it because it isn't up to me and in fact left my hands on August 1st. Once people started paying for it, for me to give it away for free would be disrespectful to them unless certain situations evolved but we are no where near anything like that.
I will be blunt, the people that did get a free copy worked for it. They had to keep up with a beta update everyday pretty much and quite a few days we had multiple updates, then to top it off I needed them to be able to script. Which is why I am so greatful for their time and energy they have put into this project. Now the project is starting to build up steam, I am starting to see a few more users learning and playing with NPC Designer.

You know, I was about to suggest that, as a joke of course.
And talking about irony: do you know when your program will become popular?... once there's a crack for it...

*chuckles* Yep I do agree and already ready for it. You can't release a crack for NPC Designer because I update to frequently and any crack will quickly become worthless. With each release I change the structure of the code enough to where you have to start over the process and since I am quite versed in SoftIce and IDA myself, I think I knew a few tricks. So that only leaves one choice, a keygen. Now keygens take time because you have to actaully figure out the entire routine for generating a correct serial number, also a blanket serial won't do because I have tied to your computer. So we return to who ever is trying to create the keygen having to take time, lots of time. When creating this my goal was to bore someone to death. Then.. if by chance a keygen gets released..I will let it float around for a few days for people to get a taste of NPC Designer and then.. change it all and email the new codes to all users with a single click.
It is all foolproof, not by any means but it is fun
