Ngokuvamile, amaphrojekthi weSoftware Yamahhala amaphrojekthi athola iminikelo embalwa noma anemali encane yokwenza izinhlelo nokunakekelwa kwazo. Ezimweni eziningi, iminikelo ithunyelwa ngamakhulu ambalwa wamadola okusiza ngokulangazelela ukugcina lolo hlelo luphila izinyanga eziningi.
Muva nje, IFree Software Foundation ithole umnikelo ophanayo ofinyelela ku- $ 1 million. Isibalo iSisekelo esasingakaze sisithole, ngaphandle komlando waso omude nodumile.
Kepha okugqame kakhulu ngezindaba akuwona umnikelo, obalulekile, kepha indlela yokukhokha: i-bitcoin. Imali yedijithali edume kakhulu emhlabeni, njengeDola laseMelika, nayo isetshenziswa yiFree Software Foundation. Ngokuqondile, Ama-bitcoins angama-91,45 anikelwe, afinyelela ezigidini ezi-1 zamaRandi ngokushintshana. Umnikelo ophanayo wenziwe yisikhwama esibizwa ngoPhayinaphu. Lesi sikhwama senza iminikelo eminingi ezinhlanganweni ezingenzi nzuzo imali yazo eyi-bitcoin. Ngakho-ke, lesi sikhwama asigcini nje ngokwenza isenzo esihle kepha futhi sandisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-bitcoin, okucatshangelwa eceleni, okungenayo noma okungekho okuningi njengokukhokha ngogesi noma imali ebonakalayo.
IFree Software Foundation dizokwabela le mali kumaphrojekthi we-Free Software adinga imali, hhayi kuphela kumaphrojekthi amadala kepha nakumaphrojekthi amasha. Kanye nokwenza amaphrojekthi ahlukahlukene lapho i-FSF ibandakanyeka khona.
Ngokwami, ngicabanga ukuthi izindaba zizinhle kakhulu kwiSoftware yamahhala, hhayi nje ngoba amaphrojekthi amakhulu wesoftware azoqhubeka kepha ngenxa yokuthi i-bitcoin isetshenziselwa ukusetshenziswa okuhle, imali edumile neyimpikiswano eye yaba nokunganaki okuningi ngenxa yokuqagela ebikade ikhona kodwa engakaze iphumelele ekusetshenzisweni kwayo kwemali. siyethemba ukuthi Uphayinaphu yisikhwama sokuqala noma umtshalizimali wabaningi abathatha isinqumo sokubheja kwiFree Software.
