Stone was really just the first big patron. Grin

Some of you guys don't seem to understand the difference between investing and patronage.

So let me explain:

When an investor gives you money he wants to control everything you do.
You have become his investment and he will control every step you do,
possibly even outright ordering you around (writing your whitepapers, choosing the interviews you're supposed to have, releasing press statements...)

But patronage works differently.
Patrons support you because they like what they see, they agree with it and they want to see more.

Do you get it now? Roll Eyes

So please, if your idea of support means that you want to gain control over what I do, Huh

then STOP giving me money, because you will be wasting both my time AND your money.

I reserve the right to choose who I want to work with.
Just because you make a donation doesn't mean I owe you something.

I am here to create decentralized software which hopefully will add value to SPR.
That I owe to the miners and everyone who holds and uses SPR.
