If he weren’t Russian and subject to OFAC sanctions, I would gladly wire him $1000 tonight if he would give up this project. The web is utterly broken. This one guy is enabling a multi-billion dollar advertising ecosystem for nothing? Absolutely insane.

> If he weren’t Russian and subject to OFAC sanctions Wrong. OFAC has sanctioned a number of Russian individuals and entities, including many of the country's banks.

  You are welcome to look up my contribution via OpenCollective. It’s dangerous for individuals to take liability on themselves by using Bitcoin to send funds directly. The OFAC sanction search above is for compliance officers at financial institutions. If, as an individual, you take it on yourself to send funds via Bitcoin and you’ve misunderstood the scope of sanctions then you may find yourself in violation. OpenCollective pays out through Stripe which handles the regulatory compliance issues. Now you know.
