It was nothing personal at all.
My point was and is: You can’t substitute a German non profit with this organisation.
Even if you could, torservers.net are supporting all the others smaller orgs, not the other way around.
Thats a lot of work organising orgs and also avoiding unnecessary work in one of the reason most orgs have strict reduced exit policies at place nowadays.
You get a few 100 abuse mails a day, you have to take care of the servers, talk to people, organise things, make sure everyone is happy.
The yearly paperwork for a non profit doesn’t really matter in the grand pattern of things.
Take care!

Hi!
So I initially just wanted to share a tool/service which I think addresses some of the issues I noticed in projects, when people get burned out because of all the paperwork involved. I replied further to mostly address some, from my perspective, misunderstandings about this tool/service. By providing more information I thought people can decide better if this tool/service is something which could be useful here.
I think we are going now in circles and I think that for anyone who cares about this tool/service can read more information by themselves. I do not see much interest in it, so I will not continue this thread. If anyone has more questions about it and would like my ideas how it could be applied to this project, feel free to write to me directly.

First off, nice to see you are fighting for the good in the world, while having a company in Delaware. Paying 0% taxes.
Not sure if this relates to me personally, but I am not involved with the company. And you are right that we should be mindful about how companies are incorporated, when deciding to deal with them. Not sure if this is the critical factor though, but it is for sure a factor. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
And you are right that closer your non-profit host is to the project, easier it is to donate to your project. But I thought tor servers project is a global project, not a German project, so having fiscal sponsors all around the globe in fact, by your own argument, makes it easier to donate for more people. US people can donate to US based non-profit hosts, EU people can donate to EU based non-profit hosts, if there was a German host, then it would address your concern about German donations as well.
You can of course have a network of partners, like tor servers project has now to address the same need. But there is still paperwork will all this.
Anyway, this is all from my side. I hope all this energy I have observed just now could be redirected to further push tor servers project into the future. It is always easier to argue against than working towards.
