I have started a fundraiser using Kuno. You can donate Monero there to get stickers printed which will be handed out at a protest on February 20th in London.
Donate to Sticker fund here:
Julian Assange, who has been imprisoned in the UK for over ten years, faces his final court case in England. Having passed through several rounds of kangaroo courts, being faced with no legal charge, he is still held in maximum security prison in Belmarsh, London. Febrary the 20th (and 21st) will see him at the highest court in the land, pleading with the judge to not be extradited to the USA. It has already been shown that, if extradited, he would face cruel and unusual punishment at the hands of the US government and would likely be disappeared and never seen again.

I wouldn’t usually post a findraiser here but I think it intersects with Monero well. Firstly, Wikileaks were an early adopter of crypto. When they were booted off Paypal in 2011 for posting Afghan War Logs, they began accepting a bunch of cryptocurrencies. Assange has also spoken out on the dissident use of cypherpunk technology at length. I also used Kuno for the fundraiser, which only accepts Monero. The experience was good, it was simple to set up and hopefully works well. I did have to learn about secret view keys which was useful, would recommend the site to others.
Every little helps, even a few minero. I will be getting 100 stickers printed off my own back, it costs 0.26 ish XMR for 100 stickers and the fundraiser is only open for 3 weeks. I appreciate your reading this and hopefully we can make some difference. Will post ‘proof of stickers’ when the first batch is printed. Will also post any good photos of the stickers in action in London. If you are in the UK and dnoate, direct message me and I will post a sticker or two in the post.
Peace!
To the downvoters, I’m curious, are the downvotes because:
A. You are opposed to fundraising for any cause here.
B. You don’t think stickers are going to do much to impact the situation or raise awareness any further.
C. You don’t think Julian Assange should be free.
D. Other _______________ (fill in the blank).
Thanks Terry, The first downvote was within minutes of posting. I suspect that it has more to do with posting it here (context) than it does with Assange (content). I must say thanks to the gang who have upvoted and balanced out the haters!
Either way, I’ve recieved the first batch of stickers today, will post a photo soon.
Furthermore, I’ve had communication with Kuno about the fundraiser, to verify my identity and so on. They are a cool organisation and I think I will write them up a little promotional post on Monero.town in good time. I think that fundraising is a great way to open up Monero adoption - it’s not just for drugs ;). Plus their code is neat and open source, something we can get behind. I will be donating to their cause in the future!
I’m happy to see Monero adoption increasing and more open source projects utilizing it.
Thanks for the feedback on Kuno. I don’t know much about the org. I’ll look for any post you make with a more in depth review if you make it.
