= Financial Report = '''Anarchist societies under a capitalist state need money to survive and thrive, yo.''' Look here: https://discuss.noisebridge.info/t/summary-financials-for-re-applications/1535 Tyler: Total donations down $20k. Less donation drive attempts. Biggest $ in 2018 was a biiig 100k donation. Still down 20k from that year. 2019: $20k+ in NoiseTor server fees. Supposedly were being offset, but not much proof. Was noisetor offsetting donations? We still get about $100/month flagged for NoiseTor. What is noisetor? Noisebridge operating as a tor exit relay. At one point was operating 5% of traffic. Need hard evidence of $ coming in to cover expenditures It is starting back up again Blew 20k on grant writing consultants. We learned some stuff from it, but it was mostly inefficent. It's a touchy subject. (Naomi: we should have a retrospective about it.) Lost 28k last year in total. if we did not have consulting and we payed things on time we would have made 5k More optimistic perspective from Naomi (being an old fogey): Back in my day, we only ever had like 2-3 months of rent. We had to send out emergency emails, in the snow, uphill both ways, just to survive. Kesh: Has anyone proposed setting up a node for blockchain as a $ raiser Tim: Got roasted by Kraken to the tune of 150k. We made more in the past two months than all of last year. We are going to spend some (a lot) of that money in the near future. Would like to get to member donations getting us to breakeven. Dave: Wherever we move will be more expensive Tom: The money we spent on consulting was beneficial because one of the contacts we made helped us eliminate $100,000 bill we had. Chris: has there been any change in opinions on bitcoin since our last meeting Ryan: == Fundraising Update == '''How's it all going''' MILLION DOLLAR TOILET discussion item (on) Will be discussed in million dollar toilet section (it's a Slack channel, apparently?) Getting more swag and the password to the current swag shop would be nice.
