Do you have something specific in mind? I tried "gpg2.exe --card-edit"
and I got the error "selecting openpgp failed: Kartenfehler", so I
assume I can't detect my card reader. With the answer of Werner to my
ticket in the bugtracker (sort of "rainer card readers are bad") this is
fair enough (FYI: there's a GPLed source for pcsc to access the
rainer card readers, so there may be a way to add support for it...),
but at least the sc-daemon should not loop endlessly if it can't find a
card/reader.

I assume this means a little bit more than just a little contribution
from a little user. I would be willing so offer 50/100€ (surely not
enough for 4 people) if I know it would help to resolve some issues, but
surely not 500/1000€. I've seen only the possibility to pay via paypal.
I don't like paypal, is there a way to do a bank transfer instead
(either a normal transfer inside Germany, or via IBAN/BIC)?

Bye,
Alexander.
