escapethe3RA: Looking for funding to maintain Monero Observer until 2026

Funding goal (24Q4+2025): 240 XMR
Progress: ~2.06%
* 24/10/15: +4.95 XMR in 8 contributions

11 successful CCS proposals, 3500+ work hours, thousands of reports in over 3 years of thinking about, writing about, and dreaming about Monero.

That has been my sometimes rough yet always exciting secret life since 2021 and I wouldn’t change it for anything. More importantly, I owe it all to you. Thank you for supporting me since day 1 via the CCS.

Now, I am ready to skip the system and seek direct funding for a longer period (Q4 2024 - 2026/1):

I am looking to raise a minimum of 240 XMR, which would help me continue my daily work (normal ~100h/month) on Monero Observer until January 2026 (15 months).

In case of overfunding by the end of this year, I might be able to shift some things IRL and allocate extra hours to the project. If underfunded, c’est la vie - will reevaluate when/if that comes.

Onward.
