Donation button for paying an official signing

[stuart1975]

Hello,

we should make a collection to pay the signing with the community. You have any idea how much we have to collect to pay this?

It would be great if this tool gets a oficial microsoft signing. With this it would be a lot easier to install this tool.
I also have the problem to not get it installed in Windows 7 because of the signing problem.

Something blocks me to enter in test mode. I wrote BCDEdit command but never switches really to test mode. Never see on the right buttom the text "test mode".

I've had problems permanently enabling test mode as well. I've resorted to just spamming F8 at boot to enable debug mode every time.

I think signing cost around $500 to get the Verisign certificate. Using something like kickstarter would be best, that way nobody pays until the threshold is met. Probably this should be done by someone committed to maintaining the code, like Deon van der Westhuysen, the original author; I think he mentioned the idea before.

@elitak @stuart1975 13 years late, but I'd be willing to fund this if it's still a possibility. I'm still using ppjoy on a Windows 11 build that I just put together a few days ago with a PCI parallel port. Would be very nice to not have to use test mode.
