That's what Ethereum is for.

It's completely public and can't be tampered with, so you can check exactly where the money is going.

Btw. most people people who don't know Chinese will think "Hong Bao" is some guy. Bad branding for what it's trying to do. Gives the wrong impression that we're giving away money to some guy named "Hong Bao" who's promising to give it to Wikipedia and EFF

Except the page admits there will be a delay of a month before the proceeds go to the EFF, and that transaction is NOT on the blockchain, as the wallet is "sold" and the money is, perhaps, donated to the EFF. So you can't actually check.

They're red envelopes of money that are handed out during Lunar New Year in some Asian countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_envelope
