jkaufman’s initial offer was unclear. I read it (incorrectly) as “I will push the button (/release the codes) unless someone gives AMF $1672 counterfactually”, not as “if someone is willing to pay me $1672, I will give them the codes”. Read in the first way, Raemon’s concerns about “pressure” as opposed to additional donations made on the fly may be clearer; it’s not about jkaufman’s opportunity to get $1672 in donations for no work, it’s about everyone else being extorted for an extra $1672 to preserve their values.
