VoxdenHelp sign Voxden.
Voxden is made by one person. A code-signing certificate is what stands between the installer and a clean first run on Windows, and it costs more than the app earns today. This is the live goal for it: every contribution shows up on the bar the moment it arrives.
Live goal
Put a name on the installer.
Today Windows calls Voxden’s publisher “Unknown”. About ₹25,000 buys the certificate and the smart-card reader it lives on. Pick any amount, or drag along the bar to see where yours gets it.
Where it goes.
Three things, at today’s prices. They are estimates in euros turned into rupees, so they are rounded up rather than down.
A code-signing key has to live on hardware, so nobody can copy it off a laptop. The card and its reader are bought once.
about ₹8,500onceA standard code-signing certificate from Certum, issued to Sounak Chakraborty after an identity check. It is renewed every year.
about ₹14,000every yearPayment fees, the euro moving, and a little room for tax, so the goal is not missed by a few hundred rupees.
about ₹2,500onceAnything past ₹25,000 goes to next year’s renewal.
What changes once it’s signed.
Not everything at once. Signing gives the installer a publisher Windows can name. The warning itself goes away as more people install signed versions and SmartScreen learns the name.
Nothing tells you who made the file, and every new version starts from zero.
At first, the same screen with a name on it. As signed installs add up, it stops appearing.
Before you chip in.
Is the bar real?
Yes. It counts only payments Razorpay has confirmed to Voxden’s server, with a signed message, and nothing else can move it. Nobody’s name or email is shown: the list under the bar is amounts and times only.
How do I pay?
Pick an amount and press the button. Razorpay opens its own checkout on top of this page: UPI, cards and net banking in India, cards everywhere else. Voxden never sees your card or bank details.
Do I get anything for it?
A signed installer for everyone, you included. It is a gift, not a purchase: it does not unlock Pro or any feature, and it is not refunded, except for a charge taken twice or taken in error, which is refunded in full. The refunds page says how to ask.
Is it tax-deductible?
No. Voxden is a small business, not a charity, so there is no 80G or similar receipt.
What if the goal isn’t reached by the date?
The bar stays up and the money still goes to the certificate; the date is a target, not a cut-off. What is raised is spent on signing and nothing else.
