ICYMI: Community contributors ask Wikimedia Foundation to ban crypto donations
Over 70% of voters came out against crypto donations.that the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit that funds Wikipedia and other sister projects, should cease accepting donations in cryptocurrency, following a three-month debate over the ethics of using the technology.
US-based software developer Molly White, who edits Wikipedia under the username GorillaWarfare, put forward the proposition on January 10. This led to a period where contributors could state their support or opposition to the idea. The Requests for Comment page debating the proposition closed this week with a total of 232 to 94 contributors in favor of the ban.
“Thus, the Wikimedia community requests that the Wikimedia Foundation stop accepting cryptocurrency donations,” states the proposal, in light of the feedback. The community cited concerns around environmental sustainability, whether accepting cryptocurrency equates to an endorsement of the technology, and reputational implications as reasons for implementing a ban.
The foundation currently accepts donations in Bitcoin, BitcoinCash and Ether. In the last financial year, it received over $130,000 in cryptocurrency donations. This represents just 0.08% of revenue, making it one of the foundation's smallest donation channels.Mozilla changes direction
