    Not money per se, I believe more hands are necesary to assist/succeed Werner Koch. He is doing a critical task for the internet, and last I read, he is the only one on it.

        Maybe because he’s doing ok now, getting 100k plus USD annually from a couple big-ass corporations after he struggled for 20+ years. And living in Germany, one of the best countries to be a citizen of.

        I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve it, he does plus back pay for all the other work.

            Sure, although the response was to the question: “What FOSS projects are most in need of funding? I’d like to help if I can.”

            Plus, it’s not easy to assist/succeed critical cryptographic development. I don’t think it’s something most of us can really help with.
