gently caress QCS, it's worse than FYAD and CSPAM for bullshit. The unofficial goon fund has helped me a few times and I give to the Patreon every month. If someone wants to help Plinkey turn this into a proper 501c3 I'm all for that.

I am just so mad I have been scammed, or whatever. You know totally scammed by donating? That never happens anywhere.

Anyone who got good things, hope you're well.

I looked up the numbers and if setting it up as a 501-3(c) means he needs to take 10-20% to cover operations costs that's an insane bargain compared to most other charities.

I just want answers why he's been taking it all as personal donations for 3 years and paying income tax on it, like at that point it's cheaper to shut down the fund and just finance it yourself.

except Patreon takes 20% so the same as normal charities in addition to covering taxes out of pocket. it's no wonder people are suspicious

Love that the first attempt to start a competing fund results in this fund's OP attacking and trying to discredit it

Plinkey posted:

yeah, that's the thing, i dont keep them, other then the emails to the actually request@goon.fund there's no committee (which would know the goons by account and email address, we've seen how good that goes)

what you are doing is dangerous, the entire premise of the goon fund 'is I dont care, i wont remember' nothing is written down

with the history of doxxing for disadvantaged and vulnerable people who have been helped by years from the goon fund, I have to say, I can not endorse this at all

Pentecoastal Elites posted:

your security structure is based on everyone trusting you to not keep any information (or remember this information, even) in a completely closed system. There are ways of anonymizing this information even from the committee/auditors/fund owners while keeping full functionality. These are solved problems, and like people have pointed out over and over and over there are ways to do this that don't all hinge on trusting one guy to both maintain everything and also keep all sensitive information secret entirely on his own, with zero oversight. As it stands now there is, by design, zero evidence that you're not pocketing all the money that isn't requested. You could have a 100% request fulfillment rate and still be pocketing a few grand a month that was donated on the premise that that money would go to people who really need it and because of the structure you established no one could ever know if that's not the case. I think that's lovely.

he has a short circuit in his brain that is like 'money is mine now' or something.

:siren: UKMT Solidarity Fund "Monthly" Report, September 2022 :siren:

First off, I didn't post updates for July OR August - mea culpa, life was kicking my arse and once I'd missed one month it was all too easy to let another slip by.

Where are we at? Doing better than I expected for this point in the year, actually. As you can see from the charts there hasn't been the huge uptick in requests we were expecting, although we have noted an increase in the proportion of requests relating to bills and the rising cost of living. Generous goons are still donating regularly and the total amount of money in the fund remains surprisingly stable.

As always, thank you so much to everyone who helps us keep this running with your generosity.
