I mean I get we're generally a skeptical bunch but jeez. It's OK to have good things happen. Opensats is very clear on how they operate, don't take conditional donations. I can't imagine a reason why a lower profile donor would be a problem.
100% of said donation will be used to support open-source projects and contributors working on freedom tech. Our operational budget is funded separately, which allows us to not take any cut from donations going to our open-source funds.
Its just weird...clicking the link to this article...then clicking the Reynolds Foundation link in the blog post...then nothing
Googling Reynolds foundation brings up the same page...and nothing-no info-its like they don't exist? its like they are an anonymous foundation donating anonymous money...which is cool and all....just weird...why announce it if you want to remain anonymous in the first place? why even have a web page that was just started?
I don't know why it is relevant to know who the Reynolds Foundation is.
Having a look at the project that are being sponsored by OpenSats is enough for me. Also dergigi is involved in the OpenSats organization, which is great.
It looks good! I just hope with big money donations like this, there are never strings attached. Sometimes in life if you get a big purse, there is always a catch in some way shape or form down the road.
I hope this is a valid post....the link to the "reynolds foundation" doesn't seem to be anything other than a "holding page" or something...there is no other information on that page that I could find? Maybe I have to dig deeper?
...I don't think OPENsats should be the only organization to decide what software should be developed.
I think they should be criticize more. like WTF are the conditions for a developer to develop stuff? they hold all the fucking money. A dev can be like I want to create this, and open sat be like "FU" no funding unless you agree to x,y,z terms. I bet there isn't transparency to the agreement. They just parade themselves as the white knight-- LIKE SAM BANKMAN
Why is everyone's first reaction skeptical?
I don't get it either. Someone donated money and their website is minimal. All rich people are supposed to be web developers?
Thank you!

Paranoia and immaturity
Probably because bitcoiners don't trust. We verify.
Great work!

is it just me? what am i doing wrong?
I noticed something amiss with it after I posted it as well. At first I thought it was somehow Ryan Reynolds. As I went looking into a bit, I saw it was someone named Tim Reynolds. I then found these links; https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/364668111 https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonborbet/2016/02/24/how-a-former-trader-turns-luxury-villas-into-free-art-education/ https://aniartacademies.org/about-2/
It appears to be legit.

No, not true. I can confirm it with my spy skills.
Have to wait and see. Everyone thought mtgox wasnt a scam for the longest time.
Happy to see GrapheneOS in the list of projects
Tim Reynolds is the founder of Jane Street Capital. He currently runs a set of luxury resorts.
He's a rich guy who likes Bitcoin, and is giving back. Not every rich guy who likes Bitcoin can say the same :)

No one is stopping anyone from funding open source.
Github has a donation page, there's patreon, etc.
Of course you need to have standards to send money. You are responsible for the donor money, so you need to do due diligence.
I need me one of those kinda grants!
Yup seems fishy
