Block 863220: Important News of the Week Hello, friend. It's the end of the month, so we're happy to share some of our fundraising results again. In September, we raised over 3 million sats from 137 contributors, which constitutes our best month since we launched our campaign on Geyser two years ago. This is mostly thanks to a generous donor who contributed a record 1.7 million sats. Whoever you are, thank you for your support. Other donations amounted to approximately 1.3 million sats, meaning that we've surpassed the 1 million sats/month milestone for the first time since the campaign launch. Grateful for all the unwavering support. We're still attempting to raise 1 BTC by the end of the year to expand and improve our operation so that we can push out more content and improve our site, so any further help will be greatly appreciated. Once freedom lights its beacon in a man's heart, all the darkness in the world is powerless to stop you. Have a wonderful weekend.
