Let's crowdfund some development to get PureOS Crimson ready for L5!

@gondolyr

Purism needs money to be able to fund development but the community wants to see development from Purism so it seems unlikely they will pull through unless there are more people willing to bet on them.

I plan on preordering/acquiring the Librem 16 once Purism announces and releases it with hardware kill switches. I also read hints about Purism preparing quantum-resistant cryptography, so I have other reasons to stick around.

If you like PQC, you’ll really like some of the product options Purism is setting up.

I no longer have any interest in investing, especially considering my previous experience (or lack of it) with StartEngine.

Www.startengine.com/offering/purism gives me 403 - I can't invest my Bitcoin

Attempting to access the domain name simply throws a 403 Forbidden HTTP response, regardless of device or browser I use. [Screenshot from 2024-01-31 15-20-30] This screenshot is with the Librem 5 USA using Firefox ESR. This also occurs on the Librem 14 with Qubes-Debian using Firefox ESR as well as Qubes-Whonix using Tor Browser.

The Next Public Offering

When Purism does a public offering for next time, “keep it in your domain” so that Purism retains full control. The above thread is the direct consequence when Purism chooses otherwise and fails to follow what they preach; this listing should have been used instead.

I have already donated to Purism, and provided ideas to dealing with the “independent contractor” issue mentioned by @guido.gunther. However, I am not interested in going out of my way to participate in the Fediverse for the first time to create a job contract post.
