Andreas has just had a second one!

> In a surprising twist, I have just received a second $100,000 sponsorship for Ladybird development!

> This one came in the form of an anonymous cryptocurrency donation, so now I need to talk to my tax accountant ASAP and figure out what to do..

I guess it has to be the same guy feeling generous, but I just got a driveby dono of $100,000 in crypto as well :O
!!

Congrats! Sounds pretty amazing coming right on the heels of your decision to go full time. I have so many questions — hope you’ll put out an update when you’re done celebrating ;)

Yeah it's very generous and amazing. ... although, like Andreas I have some things to figure out in terms of how to liquidate the asset.

Swedish banks really don't like crypto, to the point where I've had trouble charging for API access because I couldn't prove the money wasn't from crypto :-/

I have some old friends who are deep into that world, gonna have to see what advice they have. Still, as far as problems go, it's a nice problem to have I guess.
