Donations to ProductionReady are tax-deductible. That matters less than why you'd give: because conservative Bitcoin development has no natural business model, and it still needs to get done. productionready.org/donate

Funding a Bitcoin client is funding an idea: that the people running nodes matter more than the people writing grants. ProductionReady is a 501(c)(3) because the work should outlast any one cycle. productionready.org/donate

Implementation diversity in Bitcoin isn't fragmentation. It's multiple groups independently reaching the same consensus rules. That's a stronger guarantee than any single codebase can offer. productionready.org

Sound money has always been a minority position. The majority wanted easier credit, flexible supply, and monetary policy "for the common good." They were wrong. Bitcoin doesn't take a vote on this. productionready.org

Most Bitcoin software gets judged on features. Ours gets judged on what we didn't change. That's intentional. productionready.org

High standards for change aren't obstacles. They're the point. Bitcoin doesn't need to move fast. It needs to be right. productionready.org

OP_RETURN limits aren't arbitrary. They're a policy choice about what Bitcoin's blockchain is for. Restoring the previous default isn't a statement against developers. It's a statement about money. productionready.org

The board running ProductionReady includes Samson Mow, Jimmy Song, Parker Lewis, and John Ratcliff. People who have been in Bitcoin long enough to know what's worth protecting. The mission reflects that. productionready.org

Tax-deductible donations to a Bitcoin node client. Not a hedge fund, not a VC play. A 501(c)(3) that thinks the best thing you can do for Bitcoin is keep it boring and verifiable. productionready.org/donate

The Bitcoin you hold is only as trustworthy as the code that enforces the rules. That's not a metaphor. It's why development process matters, why conservatism is a feature, and why more than one group should be doing the work. productionready.org

Sound money doesn't require trust. That's the point. You verify it yourself, with your own node, running software you chose. Every layer of that chain matters. productionready.org

High standards for Bitcoin software aren't a courtesy to node operators. They're a requirement. The people running nodes are the ones whose judgment matters most. Make it worth their time. productionready.org

A high bar for change isn't stubbornness. It's respect for everyone who built something on top of the rules as they exist. Bitcoin doesn't owe developers the ability to experiment. It owes users stability.

Bitcoin is too important to depend on a single implementation. Today we're launching ProductionReady, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funding a new conservative Bitcoin client — built on Core, focused on stability, security, and sound money. Board: @jimmysong @Excellion Parker Lewis, John W. Ratcliff.
