== Changing Noisebridge's Bitcoin Address ==

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hey all,

Patrick O'Doherty here. As per Danny's email to nb-discuss https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2014-December/045662.html
we're looking to change the Noisebridge Bitcoin address to facilitate easier exchange of BTC for USD, as Noisebridge has a need for cash monies.

The new address for the Noisebridge wallet is 1KxVgNmPdTyePLw27iixbH9yrRhNH7UfdK

It'd be fantastic to have the new bitcoin address listed on the Donate page.

If someone w/ admin rights on the wiki could update it that'd be great.

== Is PayPal-reliance such a good idea? ==

For those desired recurring donations of $10/mo, $30/mo, $60/mo, and $100/mo, is it really best to rely on PayPal??<br>
There '''continue''' to be a lot of highly negative things abt PayPal, as seen in at least these three sites:<br>
- [[http://www.paypalsucks.com/ PayPal Problems & PayPal Answers]]<br>
- [[https://www.facebook.com/NoPayPal NoPayPal on Facebook]]<br>
- [[http://www.paypalsucks.com/ PayPal Complaints, PayPal Customer Service & eBay Suspension Complaints]]<br>

Negatives expressed herein are likely keeping ''some'' donors away from Noisebridge and away from other institutions that rely on PayPal for extra incoming funds. At least these facts are coming to ''someone's'' attention.

---------------------------------
Yeah, awesome point about PayFoe.
And directed toward [https://noisebridge.net/wiki/User:Maltman23 Mitch] and the other fundraising working-groupies so much in bed with PayFoe:<br>
Does like PF waive all its fees or offer some super steep discount to the space under NB's status as a 501(c)(3)??<br>
And has PF made any significant monetary donations to the space during the current fundraising drive??<br>
You'll all eventually answer these questions one way or another...

== New donation idea ==

Convert the vending machines into reward bins for donating to noisebridge. Think of a reward for each denomination of dollar:

* $5 gets you a set of stickers
* $10 dated membership card for showing at the door with the rules on the back.
* $20 ?
* $50 gets you a NB t-shirt (multiple lanes for size)
* $100 gets you an especially nice, laser-cut (or engraved) goodie or maybe a [[fob]] whose key will last until the end of the month.

Cheers. Mark (from [[Meeting_Notes_2016_08_02]]).

MAID is (Mutually) Assured Information Destruction: ''"Maid cleans up after you're no longer around."''

== General overview ==

M.A.I.D. is a framework that provides time sensitive remote key escrow and provable authentication with optional distress coding. It automatically destroys cryptographic keys after a given user configurable time threshold is crossed.

== Features ==

* Provable authentication (with '''either''' local or remote attestation)
* Cryptographic key storage on remote systems
* Optional distress coding during authentication
* Time sensitive user configurable key destruction
* Strong multi-party anonymity is a requirement for participation.

== Threat model ==

== Example use case ==
== Software specification ==
=== Client specification ===
=== Server specification ===

== Legal information ==

We believe this system will possibly work exactly one time for a single person. Consult with a qualified lawyer or solicitor in your legal jurisdiction. You may be that single lucky person.

== History ==

M.A.I.D was [https://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/events/1112.en.html initially discussed] by it's creator [[User:Ioerror|Jacob Appelbaum]] at the Chaos Computer Club's 22nd Communications Congress in the winter of 2005.

=== Financial Reports ===

'''Financial Report - October 02, 2017'''

Noisebridge has $83,145.56 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$43,725.28 in the general fund, which is about nearly 9 months of regular expenses.
$28,348.54 for Noisetor
$5,922.48 in the equipment fund
$2,597.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Foundation
$1,412.96 in the broadcast fund
$763.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 19th and their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship. $288 was added to the laser maintenance fund from the laser maintenance cash donation box.

By my accounting, we have 37 dues-paying members and philanthropists kicking in $2,331.80 each month. It’s possible more people are paying dues in cash, which is harder to trace. I’m following up individually with some people. We have only 14 members who I know to be current on their dues, 2 members on hiatus, and 13 members who may or may not be paying dues or on hiatus but aren’t paying dues with the email address I have on file. We have 23 philanthropists I know to be currently paying dues.

'''Financial Report - September 28, 2017'''

Noisebridge has $81,642.30 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$42,552 in the general fund, which is about 8-1/2 months of regular expenses.
$28,305.79 for Noisetor
$5,922.48 in the equipment fund
$2,597.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Foundation
$1,412.96 in the broadcast fund
$475.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 19th and their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship.

We recently spent $379.74 from the equipment fund and $379.73 from the project-specific donations to the general fund to purchase a MakerBot Ultimate 3D Printer. There is currently a fundraiser for a Prusa I3.

We just paid our rent for October, so our new post-rent baseline is $42,552. Our previous baseline (September 1st) was $40,054.28, which means that the general fund grew by nearly $2,000 this month.

That gain is even more impressive considering we took a dip of $2,500 to buy all of that Club Mate near the beginning of the month and still have about 2/5 of it left.

The expected return on the remaining Club Mate is about $1,200-$1,300.

So if we count our chickens before they hatch, our general fund grew by $3,200 - $3,300 this month.

'''Financial Report - September 19, 2017'''

Noisebridge has $84,761.46 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$45,343.19 in the general fund, which is just over nine months of regular expenses.
$28,220.29 for Noisetor
$6,336.72 in the equipment fund
$2,597.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Foundation
$1,412.96 in the broadcast fund
$475.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 16th and their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship.

'''Financial Report - September 16, 2017 - Including Breakdown of #NB10!'''

Noisebridge has $84,486.38 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$45,115.61 in the general fund, which is just over nine months of regular expenses.
$28,172.79 for Noisetor
$6,336.72 in the equipment fund
$2,597.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Fund
$1,412.96 in the broadcast fund
$475.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 12th and their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship. It also takes into account new royalty payments to Thomas’ foundation.

We got another big deposit ($1,037.53) into our checking account from Eventbrite. We don’t know why they keep giving us money, but it’s great!

We spent $587.04 from the broadcast fund for A/V, staging, and lighting equipment for the Noisebridge 10th Anniversary Exhibition & Ball (#NB10). Each of the five performers for #NB10 were paid $200 from door and drinks donations, for a total of $1,000. We made several reimbursements from the equipment fund as well related to #NB10. Drinks and other remaining expenses were paid for out of the general fund. The event was extremely net revenue positive for the space.

Miscellaneous #NB10 expenses are described here: https://noisebridge.net/wiki/NB10-Misc-Expenses-Tally

Reimbursed drink expenses were $929.96, mostly reflected in totals from previous financial reports. Total expenses from the event add up to $3,639.24, not counting Club Mate consumed. The bartenders estimated 5 boxes, or 100 bottles, of Club Mate were consumed, previously purchased with general fund money at an estimated total cost of $315. $587.04 of that came from the broadcast fund. $638.01 of that came from the equipment fund. $2,729.19 came from the general fund, inclusive of the estimated cost of Club Mate consumed.

Our total revenue over the long weekend was $4,988.60. Subtracting expenses that were reimbursed from the general fund, the general fund increased by $2,259.41 over the weekend. Subtracting all expenses, our overall total accounts increased by $1,034.36. But spending money from the equipment fund and broadcast fund is a good thing! That money is meant to be spent.

(Note: Because this takes into account the estimated cost of Club Mate consumed, technically our cash accounts increased by $1,359.36, and the cash in our general fund increased by $2,574.41. But I think the cost of Club Mate should be included in the accounting for the event, the same way we deducted the cost of purchasing alcohol. The fact that Club Mate was pre-purchased in bulk is immaterial for our purposes of analyzing the event.)

'''Financial Report - September 12, 2017'''

Noisebridge has $84,486.38 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$42,965.56 in the general fund, which is just under 9 months of regular expenses.
$28,172.79 for Noisetor
$6,974.73 in the equipment fund
$2,522.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Foundation
$2,000 in the broadcast fund
$1,000 to reimburse performers at #NB10
$475.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 6th, their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship, their subscription payment for their second hosting set-up, and a bunch of little one-off purchases and fees.

'''Financial Report - September 6, 2017'''

Noisebridge has $79,618.40 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$38,601.54 in the general fund, which is under 8 months of regular expenses.
$28,668.83 for Noisetor
$6,974.73 in the equipment fund
$2,522.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Fund
$2,000 in the broadcast fund
$475.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

The general fund is below its typical level because of thousands of dollars of reimbursements for Club Mate, alcohol, and t-shirts for the Noisebridge 10th Anniversary Exhibition & Ball. Expect that to flood back in over the weekend.

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 1st, their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship, and their recent $841.20 purchase of a server. It also includes several reimbursements for items available for donation during NB10:

$404.16 to Ruth for the purchase of Bulleit and beer
$460.80 to Jarrod for the purchase of custom t-shirts

This total does not separate out project-specific donations for the new 3D printer, but those donations are being recorded appropriately by donate.noisebridge.net. When the project hits the magic number, we will direct money from the general fund and a matching grant from the equipment fund to purchase the new 3D printer.

Notes:

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since August 17th and their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship.

Today we reimbursed Mitch $2,500 for the purchase of a pallet of Club Mate for the space, which will be available to everyone at the regular $4/bottle donation rate. The expected delta between donation revenue and cost of purchase is around $700 for the pallet. We also reimbursed Lady Red $53 from the equipment fund for the purchase of a dress form for the sewing area.

We recently got a $1,956.49 deposit in our checking account from Eventbrite, and your treasurer does not know why. If anyone knows why, let him know for the record.
