Why Cryptocurrency?
This project operates anonymously to remain uncapturable. Traditional payment systems require identity verification, creating a paper trail that defeats the purpose of anonymity. Cryptocurrency—specifically privacy-focused options—allows supporters to contribute while protecting both their privacy and ours.
Privacy for Donors: Your donation doesn't appear on credit card statements or bank records. No one can track what causes you support.
Independence for the Project: No payment processors to shut us down. No banks to freeze accounts. No intermediaries to pressure us.
Transparency Where It Matters: We publicly report total donations received and how funds are used—without revealing individual donors or compromising anyone's privacy.
Support with Zcash
All donations support infrastructure costs only. No salaries. No enrichment. Just hosting, domains, and tools.

What Your Support Funds
Every donation goes directly to infrastructure costs. This is a cause, not a business. No one profits personally from this work.
Monthly Costs
- VPN Service (Mullvad): €5/month (~$6) — Required for anonymous operations
- VPS Hosting (Njalla): $15/month — Server for this website
- VoIP Number: $4/month — Anonymous phone verification
- Total Monthly: ~$25
Annual Costs
- Domain Registration: ~$18/year
- Total Annual: ~$318
Any excess funds are held in reserve for future infrastructure needs, potential legal defense if required, or expansion of capabilities (such as translation services or accessibility improvements).
Donation Transparency
We believe in radical transparency of how funds are used, even while maintaining donor privacy.

Funding Principles
We Will Never:
- Accept donations with strings attached
- Acknowledge large donors by name (defeats anonymity purpose)
- Accept corporate sponsorships
- Take funding from political parties or PACs
- Use donations for personal enrichment
- Soften criticism of anyone in exchange for funding
If a donation feels wrong, we return it. This project remains independent or it fails. Money that compromises integrity is worthless.
Donations buy no influence. The framework evolves based on merit of arguments, not size of contributions. Every supporter has the same voice in improving the framework.
First-Time Zcash User?
If you've never used Zcash before, here's a simple path:
- Download a Wallet: Get Zingo! (mobile/desktop) or Ywallet (mobile) that supports unified addresses (u-addresses)
- Create a Wallet: Set up a new wallet and securely back up your recovery phrase
- Buy Zcash: Purchase ZEC from exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini
- Send: Transfer to our address above. Use a shielded transaction for privacy
Other Ways to Support
Financial support helps, but it's not the only way to contribute:
- Improve the Framework: Submit challenges and refinements via the Propose page
- Share the Ideas: Reference the framework in discussions, articles, or proposals
- Document Evidence: Submit well-sourced examples of accountability failures
- Translate: Help make this accessible in other languages
- Build: Create tools, visualizations, or implementations of these principles
The goal isn't to build a following—it's to build accountability mechanisms that exist in the world. If you can help with that, you're supporting the work.
