Hi Aurel,
Ok for ethers, donation address is listed in
https://www.grin-forum.org/t/funding-campaign-yeastplume-oct-2018-to-feb-2019/677

It would be very appreciated if you can close this round, since it's still
far below the target amount (about 22.8% raised), and almost at the end of
the 3rd week of this funding campaign (since 21st Aug.).

At this moment, the *gap* between the raised and the target is about *182*
ETH, or *6.26* BTC, according to current price.

As said by Igno:
