We were accused of "seeking donations" on Nostr.
We are considering closing the donations channel because it evidently triggers people.
We don't want money. Do we need it?
Not exactly. We need a couple of laboratories, instruments, for decentralized research. Nothing else. Donations won't give us that, of course, we never expected them to give us that.
We tried to contact wealthy people that could donate an entire laboratory or even just borrow instruments to continue with our research. This proved itself to be extremely hard to accomplish.
Other than that, our activity has been about raising awareness about the importance of the issues we're trying to solve, and the relevance of our discovery.
Maybe we need to change our approach.
In any case: donations are NOT welcome right now. We will update our website as soon as possible to reflect this reality.
