I'm sure there is p2p funding available on the sidelines. Give us an actual opportunity to privately sponsor it.
I am sure you have heard the dismay of people who would like to sponsor Firefox but only really have the option to finance the Mozilla Foundation, who put the money elsewhere? Some similar feelings here.
- Arathorn 2y agoUnlike the Mozilla Foundation, if someone came to Element (or the Matrix Foundation) with a large bag of $ and asked for it to specifically fund P2P, then a conversation could definitely be had.
- gwd 2y agoWorth trying something akin to a kickstarter?
- 3np 2y agoJust put up Bitcoin and Monero addresses already? You/we can't possibly expect to rely on traditional centralized funding to chip in for for decentralizing the control and power over communication...? We want to fund this.
- johnisgood 2y agoThat is not enough, it is not certain, and it makes people more hesitant to spend money. I agree with another comment that mentions BTC and XMR, but it must go directly to P2P, or alternatively, people should have the option to choose specifically how their money is used. The main issue here is uncertainty. If I contribute funds, what guarantee do I have that the money will actually go toward supporting Element P2P? This uncertainty is a major barrier for many.
