I didn't thought it needed a confirmation or verification, Neobrain already posted a lot in Citra thread, and everyone can do the verification himself :
Look in the first post : paypal ID = K899FANUJ2ZXW
Look in
facebook link provided in the first post, on facebook there's a paypal link too : K899FANUJ2ZXW
citra website has the same link.
Go to
github which is the one where all citra-dev are comiting (you can check the
contributor's list) which assume this is the correct and head project, not a clone or
fork. On the readme, there's also a link to paypal donation : K899FANUJ2ZXW
bunnei is the one who
added it to the readme.
All Paypal ID are the same.
neobrain is not a random user impersonating a citra developer to gain money if that's the verification you expected to be done.
Do you need a moderator to verify that bunnei (who added paypal link, not neobrain) is one of the real developer?
As for the donation thread, I don't see any issue with it as long as it's a donation!
he doesn't beg you to donate to make progress or release it. he won't request money to provide the emulator to users either (pay to get updates or sources/shareware/etc.).
Users are FREE to donate (and not to buy!) to the developers do to whatever they want with it. Of course you can't be sure he won't use it to buy beers, but like he said, you are free to send one of the developers/homebrewer a console or flashcart instead.
