Which Reason Is Behind This NiBiTor ChipIn Project!?

For the last five years we have worked intensively to bring you the ultimate BIOS tweaker when it comes to NVIDIA based graphics cards, and up to now this has just been a free ride for everyone. Yes for everyone except for us who having spend a lot of effort and hours to always bring you all frequently updates and adding support for whichever card we came across that was not yet catered for. Many are using it, few have recently shown their appreciation.
Somehow we guess that most are thinking, all nice and well but why should we care? The answer is simple, if you don't care then why are you even downloading and using NiBiTor? The whole idea behind the ChipIn project is straightforward, if each person who downloads NiBiTor is donating one dollar all would be so much easier. Though since we started to ask some return on our investment, less than one percent has actually taken the time and effort to donate towards the further development of the software. And yes, we are very thankful for this and to all who did contribute. And frankly speaking we expected a bit more participation.
What does it take to get you all involved? Cause the way we look at it, there are two ways to move forward. We make NiBiTor no longer free and each and every single person will pay a standard fee for each single release which we are not really liking too much. And the other way? Well we think you can somehow all imagine the worst case scenario? Just so you know, developing this tool means quite often buying a new graphics card which don't come cheap so this ChipIn project is not about making profit but to keep us going. That's all we have to say, now it's all up to each of you...
