Apologies if this is offtopic, just want to straighten out the issues..sorta..
After reading couple hundred pages.. heres my 2c if anyone cares..
First of all:
samauz likes to swear..
Example:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22924946&postcount=551
Now we can get all past the cursing, but that is inappropriate language, especially for a "developer"
But that is clearly a violation of the rules:

Moving along...
samauz says that he owns a computer that is a single core..
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22437446&postcount=1147
Then he says multiple times that it takes him at least 10hours to compile..
Example

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20831092&postcount=92
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21121494&postcount=246
Then he says that it was a Core 2 Duo
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23709452&postcount=8
So maybe he got a new computer from the donations/saved up a bit? Who knows
Then he comes along and tell us his LCD broke on his laptop..
So someone offered him one here:

It's slow and runs horribly, but still its a computer..
So I believe he declines it from the wording of this post:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23681271&postcount=1242
And that he himself says it is slow and that it will be used as a decoration...wow..
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23710114&postcount=10
And yes I offered him as well, Thinkpad T61p with 8GB ram.. he never accepted it..well he never replied to me
Fishing for money.. up to you guys to decide on that one.

So about the donations.. let me get this straight. Since mods have closed his thread and that he claims that HTCMania opened a paypal account for him which they will send it via bank transfer... so what happens with the donations now?
Will HTCMania still transfer whatever is in there to samauz so he can get a new computer or will samauz stop and leave?
Supposedly samauz will continuing working, however only release it to the "good" people? Please define "good"
And yes.. zyr3x was the one who decided to only release it to donators
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23759840&postcount=1352
Now another question arises.. how does/will zyr3x know who actually donated? Does zyr3x have access the the paypal account?
Anyone can say they donated and provide the transactionid.. but you won't know the transactionid without having access to the Paypal account.
Anyways, sorry for the rant, again just my 2c
