I was going to give this 7 days, but 6 is enough, and so calling this bullshit as of now. Not even a courtesy email response, either privately or publicly, leads conclusion this was nothing but a fishing net bullshit carrot to gather the good ideas of others, by someone who is lacking creativity, and apparently also lacking good intention.

" Unknown Fund - Press Release 11/13/2019
We are going to invest and donate $75 million of bitcoin in startups that help anonymity ideas. Preferred niches are personal data protection, tools for online anonymity, cryptocurrencies, blockchain.
Dear Anonymous Fund,
prior to putting our best ideas in detail to you, I hereby apply as follows in order to establish proof of substance of the Anonymous Fund:
I apply for $1 million, which is 1/75th of the published fund amount, which shall be used for:
a) The purchase of 30 Librem 5 mobile phones for use by myself and a few of my cohorts in freedom.
I shall use at least one of these phones as a test bed for software development.
This will total around $21,000.
b) The purchase of 30 Purism laptops, for use by myself and a few of my freedom loving cohorts.
I shall personally use two of these laptops to upgrade my ageing laptop, for the development of libre freedom protecting software.
This will total around $90,000.
c) The balance of the $1 million, I shall donate to the Puri.sm enterprise to continue furthering their work creating the best freedom respecting hardware that they are capable of creating.
See https://puri.sm/about/ for further details about Purism and their awesome vision of creating hardware which respects our freedom and is not a walled garden where we are locked in, but where we may easily modify and add and remove our own chosen software.
I shall obtain from Purism a letter of gratitude for the donation, and ask that they publish this letter on their website, as proof that the donation has been made by way of receipt of funds from the Unknown Fund, via myself.
Thank you, Zenaan Harkness Australia
