The Kopimist Church of Idaho is willing to establish a fund for the
OpenNIC Project which can be used for servers, marketing, or whatever
the group decides. This would be a part of our missionary work to
promote our values of free culture and an open internet.

We are a registered US 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which means that
we could do fundraising and we wouldn't have to go through the $500+
process of getting OpenNIC itself registered as a 501(c)3.

As I am sure that some donors might not like the idea of their donations
going to support other Kopimist Church projects, so we would establish a
fund that serves the OpenNIC Project directly. We could set you up with
paypal buttons, bitcoin links, etc which can be used on the website and
then we will have those funds earmarked for OpenNIC project stuff.

To go along with the previous email on the website and marketing
ourselves, I think that OpenNIC needs to do some campaigning and maybe
even some advertising and stuff to market our services. Having funds to
do that might help. Or maybe fund a couple of those IP addresses that
Julian was talking about which would allow everyone to use the same 2 ip
addresses and it would automatically assign them to the closest DNS
server (like what Google does with 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4).

I know this might be controversial so I am just going to leave this here
and let you decide what you want to do.
