<h1 class="mb-3 text-primary">About Us</h1>
<p>
BTCPay Server has been rapidly growing in popularity thanks to its development speed and open
availability. Many users are discovering the infinite uses and benefits of running their own full
bitcoin (and other optional) nodes with incredibly flexible and developer-friendly invoicing and
payment-processing.
</p>
<p>
The success of the Project has unsurprisingly gathered a great deal of interest from corporate entities.
</p>
<p>
To secure the future development of BTCPay Server it has become incumbent upon the project to organise a
process for accepting the donations of those entities who wish to contribute to the efforts of
BTCPay Server.
</p>
<p>
BTCPay Server’s ultimate goal is to help businesses and individuals achieve self-sovereignty regardless of
their political environment. While Bitcoin has the technical potential to achieve this, we believe that
better infrastructure (middleware) such as BTCPay Server is needed to make financial freedom truly
ubiquitous.
</p>
<hr class="my-5 mx-auto" />
<p>
Donations to BTCPay Server Foundation will be used only on endeavours which help to fulfil that goal and
only on endeavours related to the BTCPay Server Project.
</p>
<p class="mb-1">Such endeavours include:</p>
<ul class="ps-3">
<li>Development of new BTCPay Server features</li>
<li>Development and maintenance of e-commerce plugins</li>
<li>Production of training/tutorial material (Video, documentation...)</li>
<li>Promotion of BTCPay Server (events, hackathon, goodies)</li>
<li>Increase of the reach of BTCPay Server (helping it to run in more diverse environments)</li>
</ul>
<p class="mb-1">Donations shall not be used for:</p>
<ul class="ps-3">
<li>Development of Alt-coin related feature (More alt-coin support does not help achieving self sovereignty,
Bitcoin is self sufficient)</li>
<li>Integration of third party services to BTCPay. (Introducing third party dependency goes against the
self-sovereignty principle)</li>
</ul>
<hr class="my-5 mx-auto" />
<p>The costs associated with operating the supporting structure, such as legal and accountancy fees, taxes, establishment
fees and server costs will be covered by donations to the foundation.</p>
<p>The BTCPay Server Foundation, will not commercialise any product, and supports
itself entirely on donated capital.</p>
<p>The custodians of the Foundation shall undertake to vote upon any endeavour which may be in conflict with
another priority. Nicolas Dorier, founder of the BTCPay Server Project, shall possess two votes for the
purpose of breaking a tie.</p>
<p> BTCPay Server Foundation is a non-profit organization.</p>
