A single German man maintains GPG, the software used for message encryption in DNMs, and he's going broke

I did the math, and just today, at the time I'm writing this, about 20 bitcoins ($4337 USD) has been donated just today. Good work, peeps.

This needs more exposure. Should be posted on every dnm forum for visibility. This gentleman is critical to secure email encryption which protects us all. The code is open source with no worry of government back doors! I had to idea he was so poorly funded by the public.

I will be giving 10% of all proceeds for the next 1-2 weeks directly to this fund, along with sporadic donations later on down the line

Suggestion: Grams' BitBall lottery thing should allow each person to choose which cause he would like to see funded, and at the end of the month the cause which got the most votes gets the money.

The NSA or GCHQ should make him an offer while hes vulnerable.
I think they're only interested in preventing any modern consumer-level encryption on PC.
We should all be donating to four square who developed the open-source SURESPOT app. I can't imagine life without it. Another vendor and I were discussing donating 10% of our earnings to them.
PGP has had a good innings in its various forms. 25 years, in fact.
Try to imagine using any other pre-windows 95 software for ANYTHING. Let alone something important that has the technological resources of mighty nations aimed at it.
Except the spy agencies seem to leave PGP alone.
Like the way Alien leaves Sigourny Weaver unharmed when she's carrying his baby.
