I just updated the Small Technology Foundation funding page to use Ethereum instead of Nano as the cryptocurrency option since Ethereum is now proof-of-stake instead of the planet-destroying proof-of-work (hello, Bitcoin and co.) and because Nano is apparently a pain to obtain (had a few folks complain).
So if you want to donate anonymously, this should make it easier to do so.
Your donations do help. So thank you! :)

Umm, so I just checked the Ethereum wallet, not expecting anything, really (since we basically got next to nothing via Nano for the whole time we had it on) and… goodness… thank you so much… this is going to have a direct effect on helping me speed up dev. It really means a lot and I wasn’t expecting it at all.
@aral
Did you turn your nano off?
It's sad that nano hasn't gotten more uptake.
It is easy to jump on board the nano train, and it seems like it could be legit useful for serving the actual non-harmful purposes of currency: lubricating the wheels of exchange and conveying an information signal. Contrast with BTC, which has tons of drawbacks and is incapable of doing either of those things well.
@aral
Whoops, I should have read upthread.
I got some of my nano from the faucets, which give teeny tiny amounts, and also bought some with USD through kraken. I was hoping to be able to use it to pay for shrooms, but nobody takes it.
@chris Yeah, it was just more effort than it was worth and no one was using it. Strong agree on BTC and anything that’s proof of work (proof of waste). No, thank you :)
