Holy S-curve!
A man who actually puts his bitcoin where his mouth is!

I am impressed!
Seriously!
Noisebridge Radio''s first proposed donor!

If you really follow through on this , Andy,
I will personally put a plaque on NBs first transmitter with your name
on it!

(Prolly a post-it note, but I will follow through!)

Jolly good job there, Andy, if you actually do follow through on your
donation!


So.

I actually did ask about this - getting funds for some nb equipment-
at a weekly mtg maybe a montth ago,
and someone there gave me some priocedural advice -
I actually read it in the meeting wiki ntes, too.

So, there did seem to be some sort of multi week consensus voting type
process
for the nb radio to get some slow cash to get started infrastructure
building.


Thanks for the info & 1st proposed donation!
I'm sleepy & long overdue for bed.

More later.

:)
