I think that a people and community funded cyberspace would ensure that it is developed in the interests of people and communities. They would donate to projects that they genuinly were interested in and it would make them much more aware of digital issues. Do you agree with this? If not, then how should cyberspace be funded?
If so, does a good solution exist? Should we get everybody to sign up for a patreon account, create recurring paymants through paypal or through bankaccount? Does it not exist? Then what would this solution require?
People already donate to libre projects they like and projects like incentivised mixnets and meshnets use cryptocurrency in their financial design to both pay network operators and serve as a voting mechanism where they decide on the future development of the project. A third option would be sell goods and services like consulting and merch.
