Yes, that's the method that most of us implement in order to acquire money.

Wow, that comes off as extremely arrogant and egotistical (to me).

Are we taking a vote on this?

Let me be blunt: get a fucking job.
To anyone who might be considering a donation in order to support NTP, allow me to recommend directing your donation at the NTP Foundation [0] instead.

- justin66 10y agoDoes NTP Foundation compete against the ICEI that Raymond mentions?
- jessaustin 10y agoESR commented: ICEI is indeed rebooted. The reason for the long hiatus was that CII spun up just as the first version of the org was about to go public. That sucked all the oxygen out of the room for a while. So CII definitely competes! In addition the CII report linked upthread has an NTPD section in which the director of the NT Foundation is quoted praising Harlan Stenn, right after the NTPSec section. So not only does CII compete with ICEI, but NTF competes w/ NTPSec within CII.
