Donations & Grants

Donations

Everything we do is because of you. Without you we would not be able to work toward our mission in promoting, expanding, and leading the way in open source Bitcoin mining solutions. With this being said, we are entirely ran from donations. With these donations, we use them to fund projects in the community to help build toward our goal. Funding projects can come in many different ways, one time or continuous grants, hardware cost funding to cut down on prototyping costs for grantees, sponsorships for events and workshops, etc. If you'd like to contribute to the future of the open source bitcoin ecosystem, you can contact us on Discord, Email us here, or donate to our wallet here in the Consider Donating section.

Grants

We distribute grants to businesses and individuals that share our vision and mission. If you have a project that funding could help kickstart your progress, we advise you to speak with a member of our team and you will be given a grant application form to fill out. We encourage all applicants to be thorough with their proposals and lay out a clear and concise plan for your project to expedite approval. Please also understand that not every application will be accepted, but reasons will be provided to you upon denial. Upon acceptance of your application, please provide up to seven (7) business days for funding to be sent to you. All funding is distributed using Bitcoin. USD and other currencies may be provided in certain circumstances but this is not the average method of funding.
