Thanks, apogio!
While I deeply appreciate the gesture, it (currently) feels weird for me to accept donations from users for forum-related work (I've been paid by theymos for the work spanning 2024 and 2025; there was also an old arrangement covering some of the work I did in 2023, but I asked theymos to donate that balance to the Tor Project).
I'll be stepping down at the end of 2025, to focus on other (undecided, but likely still Bitcointalk-related) projects. Because I'll no longer be on the payroll, at that point I'll feel much less conflicted about accepting gifts.

Well noted! 2026 is in 3 months. Time flies really fast by the way!
There are currently two options:
1. I could set a time-locked transaction for 2026.
2. I could just leave it open until then and ask you then for an address.
In any case, when you feel less conflicted, I'd like to proceed with this donation. theymos does pay you, but I appreciate your work and help a lot as well!
