Thanks Jake! I just did this, and will be donating a portion to Sudo Room (SR's Bitcoin address: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Bitcoin ). Handshake is legit, and for those who didn't know, they donated $100,000 to Sudo Mesh in 2018, which we then split with Omni ($30K) and Sudo Room ($10K), which is the reason why both orgs have a savings buffer that is going to come in handy as we're facing a serious fiscal crisis in the coming months. Event rentals are more than 50% of Omni's income, and Sudo Room is down to $2.7K with a monthly net income of -$500 (and Sudo Room's $2K contribution to Omni is about 20% of Omni's monthly income).

I'll be sending out Q1 financial reports at the end of the month, but in sum: please donate!

i'm not planning on talking with them about anything, i'm just going to collect
the money.  It's clear that part of what they're getting in exchange for the
free money is the assurance that it's only going to people who have contributed
to shared software ecosystem through github with 15 or more followers, and also
they want to promote their anonymization technology.  I'm sorry that you think
their decision was poor.  I think that experimental crypto schemes to provide
anonymity are important to develop, and a project important to me will benefit
from this work.
