Romanian bitcoin millionaire paid OpenBSD debts

A few days ago, the media reported that the free OpenBSD project was sorely lacking means to exist. It even went so far that there is no money to pay for electricity. All the hardware on which the OpenBSD operating system is built and tested is installed in the home of the lead programmer Teo de Raadt and cannot be transported to another location. In Canada, electricity costs like in Moscow: you have to pay almost $ 2,000 per month. There are other items of expenditure, and OpenBSD exists solely through private donations.

A link to the news about the lack of means of OpenBSD someone posted on the IRC channel # bitcoin-assets - and within a few hours the OpenBSD project found a sponsor .

The Romanian entrepreneur Mircea Popescu , who is called the “bitcoin billionaire”, agreed to pay the OpenBSD project debts of $ 20k. Although he is unlikely to have bitcoins for a billion dollars, but at least $ 20k is available, and that is enough.

In the near future, Mircea will contact Theo de Raadt and they will probably agree on the terms of sponsorship.

Many argue that there is no use for the Bitcoin system - only a stupid waste of electricity on a global scale. But one cannot deny the existence of an advantage: a small part of global finance has passed into the hands of hackers and software engineers who use this money in a way that a billionaire from Wall Street will never spend, that is, in the right way.
