Enough people have decided to pledge, here and in private messages, that during october I will work with a lawyer to create an actual nonprofit and give you guys a place to donate money/crypto/whatever to, as well as potentially draft a pledge contract for U.S. citizens. I am busy for the next week or so but I should be able to get it done during the first two weeks of October. I will notify everyone here that has stated interest/intent to pledge when that’s available, and/or make another post.
Update: turns out creating a nonprofit is actually really hard and my lawyer advised against it. Lol. My personal pledge (and hopefully the pledge of the other people here) still stands informally, but I’m looking into alternative solutions to see if I can provide a place for others to donate and make it a little more official, or at least publicly logged. Will update sooner than last time to tell you all how it goes.
Many widely-known organizations in this field have publicly-identifiable persons and assets that can be pursued if they fail to follow through on their promises. For example, in the United States of America, the Internal Revenue Service requires some organizations to complete Form 990, which can be viewed by everyone.
Are there plans to provide a similar level of assurance to people who are interested in this cause?

That’s too bad. I look forward to what you come up with, but I don’t think I can offer any help :-/
