On behalf of the Bitcoin Faucet, Gavin Andresen has returned 726 bitcoins (approximately $95,000) that were in limbo to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) – a non-profit organisation that defends free speech, privacy and consumer rights – after a two-year history of the money being sent back and forth.
The move comes after the EFF last month said it would once again accept bitcoins via BitPay after a two-year freeze on the currency.
The EFF said: ”We wanted to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Bitcoin community for its steadfast support of our work and explain the unique story behind this particular donation. Above all, we want to commit to using this donation to promote liberty in the digital world. We’ll be using this money to support our impact litigation, advocacy, and technical projects that defend individual privacy, combat government surveillance, support free expression, and promote innovation.”
Smart move as EFF is a very important organization that fights for digital liberty.
