Yeah, without taking any credit away from the donors (or from the GPG authors, of course), we should be grateful to her and ProPublica for bringing this to light.

It kinda bothers me that, while I can make a donation to ProPublica, there's no way to express why I'm doing so. On the other hand, maybe there's a danger in becoming too donation-focused.

EDIT: After donating, they say: "Please consider sending a note to [email protected] or tweeting @ProPublica sharing your reason for donating. We’ll use some of these messages to encourage others to donate."

Which I think is fair enough.

Why cryptocurrency/cryptoempathy needs fields for attaching messages for meaning to value and account why we give.

Giving sharing significance and expressivity by allowing message passing for basic help as a fundamental part of currency.
