Re: Crowdfunding critical infrastructure

Miles Fidelman <mfidelman@meetinghouse.net>:

I think it would be a grand thing if someone put together a visible list of critical Internet infrastructure, who maintains it, and perhaps "click to support" buttons for those that need support.  Then again, such a list might present a wonderful target list for those who might want to do ill.

Which is why Loadsharers is designed not to have one big list at all. As Internet engineers, we've learned a lot about avoiding single points of failure in our communications networks. Loadsharers applies that hard-won wisdom to the funding problem. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>
