Sadly there is nothing else I can do to convince you otherwise. 
Currently where I (the creator of this project and who the domain is 
registered to) live it would cost me ~$500 to create a tax-exempt 
nonprofit. Also take into consideration that I would be looking at 
anywhere from 1 month to a year for the paperwork to actually be 
processed. As I previously mentioned the initial goal of this was to see 
if anyone would even use it, otherwise it would be pointless to invest 
what I consider a large amount of money into something that wasn't going 
to go anywhere. I would rather take that money and funnel it to an 
existing project.

As far as the whole I vs team thing, I'm not sure why that really 
matters but just to be a sport and play along with you there is an 
actual team. In that team though there is me, the creator who wrote the 
code for the site, registered the domain name, registered the Stripe 
account and who handles the e-mail. So if in previous messages the tone 
flipped between "team" and "I" it was in my opinion valid as outside of 
design work, I am currently the one who handles everything.

One of the main reasons you cannot pay with Bitcoin yet is that you, as 
far as I know, cannot request a refund on your Bitcoin transaction. 
However, I believe that almost every credit card company out there will 
refund you for transactions that are deemed fraudulent or for 
transactions where the seller/vendor did not live up to their end of the 
deal. If the whole goal of this was to scam people out of money it 
probably would have made more sense to accept only Bitcoin or some other 
type of cryptocurrency.

I realize it's probably hard to believe in the current world we live in, 
but there are some of us out there that are not interested in making it 
big but instead are trying to help while fulfilling an urge to build 
something. Everything that is on the website is 100% accurate as far as 
how the money we receive is used. It's your right to either believe it 
or not but it would be nice if before passing judgement you used the 
service to see if your accusations were accurate.
