|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
BTCPay Server has been rapidly growing in popularity thanks to its development speed and open
|
||
availability. Many users are discovering the infinite uses and benefits of running their own full
|
||
bitcoin (and other optional) nodes with incredibly flexible and developer-friendly invoicing and
|
||
payment-processing.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The success of the Project has unsurprisingly gathered a great deal of interest from corporate entities.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To secure the future development of BTCPay Server it has become incumbent upon the project to organise a
|
||
process for accepting the donations of those entities who wish to contribute to the efforts of
|
||
BTCPay Server.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
BTCPay Server’s ultimate goal is to help businesses and individuals achieve self-sovereignty regardless of
|
||
their political environment. While Bitcoin has the technical potential to achieve this, we believe that
|
||
better infrastructure (middleware) such as BTCPay Server is needed to make financial freedom truly
|
||
ubiquitous.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<hr class="my-5 mx-auto" />
|
||
<p>
|
||
Donations to BTCPay Server Foundation will be used only on endeavours which help to fulfil that goal and
|
||
only on endeavours related to the BTCPay Server Project.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="mb-1">Such endeavours include:</p>
|
||
<ul class="ps-3">
|
||
<li>Development of new BTCPay Server features</li>
|
||
<li>Development and maintenance of e-commerce plugins</li>
|
||
<li>Production of training/tutorial material (Video, documentation...)</li>
|
||
<li>Promotion of BTCPay Server (events, hackathon, goodies)</li>
|
||
<li>Increase of the reach of BTCPay Server (helping it to run in more diverse environments)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p class="mb-1">Donations shall not be used for:</p>
|
||
<ul class="ps-3">
|
||
<li>Development of Alt-coin related feature (More alt-coin support does not help achieving self sovereignty,
|
||
Bitcoin is self sufficient)</li>
|
||
<li>Integration of third party services to BTCPay. (Introducing third party dependency goes against the
|
||
self-sovereignty principle)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<hr class="my-5 mx-auto" />
|
||
<p>The costs associated with operating the supporting structure, such as legal and accountancy fees, taxes, establishment
|
||
fees and server costs will be covered by donations to the foundation.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The BTCPay Server Foundation, will not commercialise any product, and supports
|
||
itself entirely on donated capital.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The custodians of the Foundation shall undertake to vote upon any endeavour which may be in conflict with
|
||
another priority. Nicolas Dorier, founder of the BTCPay Server Project, shall possess two votes for the
|
||
purpose of breaking a tie.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p> BTCPay Server Foundation is a non-profit organization.</p>
