Reason behind no anonymous donors for funding? #10

Closed cryptnotiq closed 4 years ago

cryptnotiq commented 5 years ago

In FUNDING.md it states no anonymous donors. Why is this? I understand that the only "reward" to expect is public recognition, but what if someone/organisation does not care of the public recognition and solely wants to support a good cause? Is it a legal aspect with KYC/AML?

jaekwon commented 5 years ago

No, it's because I believe anonymous donations can be used to promote a hidden agenda, e.g. what if campaign contributions were contributed by shady shell corps funded by an enemy of the state?

I reject it on principle but am open to ideas to mitigate this concern.
