Endowment Fund
Related to our Zcash announcement, our endowment fund is getting pretty big at around a million dollars. Because cybercurrencies are quite volatile we are not spending much now but when we hit ten million we will definitely be more generous. Donate to our fund at https://lifeboat.com/ex/bitcoin (We take all currencies — even dollars!)
Chris Haley: One Person Can Make a Difference
To show how one person can make a difference, a couple years ago Chris
Haley donated $1,000 in bitcoin to Lifeboat. Today that donation is
worth $197,156.55 and even more importantly, other large cybercurrency
donations that we have received would likely not have happened if we
didn't have Chris Haley's donation as a base. (Almost no one wants to be
the first donor or the biggest donor.)
This is just one of many things Chris Haley has done to help Lifeboat
Foundation. He is also on our Board of Directors and is system
administrator of lifeboat.com.
Thanks Chris Haley!

accepted as an inevitable part of being human.
