| Donations | ||
| ========= | ||
|
|
||
| Donations to the Tahoe-LAFS project are welcome, and can be made to the | ||
| following Bitcoin address: | ||
|
|
||
| 1PxiFvW1jyLM5T6Q1YhpkCLxUh3Fw8saF3 | ||
|
|
||
| The funds currently available to the project are visible through the | ||
| blockchain explorer: | ||

|
|
||
| Governance | ||
| ========== | ||
|
|
||
| The Tahoe-LAFS Software Foundation manages these funds. Our intention is | ||
| to use them for operational expenses (website hosting, test | ||
| infrastructure, EC2 instance rental, and SSL certificates). Future uses | ||
| might include developer summit expenses, bug bounties, contract services | ||
| (e.g. graphic design for the web site, professional security review of | ||
| codebases, development of features outside the core competencies of the | ||
| main developers), and student sponsorships. | ||
|
|
||
| The Foundation currently consists of secorp (Peter Secor), warner (Brian | ||
| Warner), and zooko (Zooko Wilcox). | ||
|
|
||
| Transparent Accounting | ||
| ====================== | ||
|
|
||
| Our current plan is to leave all funds in the main `1Pxi` key until they | ||
| are spent. For each declared budget item, we will allocate a new public | ||
| key, and transfer funds to that specific key before distributing them to | ||
| the ultimate recipient. All expenditures can thus be tracked on the | ||
| blockchain. | ||
|
|
||
| Some day, we might choose to move the funds into a more sophisticated | ||
| type of key (e.g. a 2-of-3 multisig address). If/when that happens, we | ||
| will publish the new donation address, and transfer all funds to it. We | ||
| will continue the plan of keeping all funds in the (new) primary | ||
| donation address until they are spent. | ||
|

| Historical Donation Addresses | ||
