Foundry 推出計劃，允許礦工將開採的硬幣捐贈給比特幣開發商

比特幣（BTC）挖礦公司 Foundry 在周二的新聞稿中表示，希望透過一項新措施支持比特幣生態系統的發展

Bitcoin (BTC) mining firm Foundry announced Tuesday a new program that will allow miners in the U.S. to contribute a portion of their mined coins to Bitcoin developers.

比特幣（BTC）挖礦公司 Foundry 週二宣布了一項新計劃，允許美國礦工將部分開採的代幣貢獻給比特幣開發人員。

Dubbed Foundry Donate, the initiative connects miners in Foundry USA Pool with trusted organizations approved by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as 501(c)(3) entities, enabling direct donations to core developers. The New York-headquartered firm said the system settles all the donations in an automated on-chain mode, facilitating recurring donations to vetted non-profits.

該計劃被稱為 Foundry Donate，將 Foundry USA Pool 的礦工與經美國國稅局 (IRS) 批准為 501(c)(3) 實體的受信任組織連接起來，從而可以直接向核心開發人員捐款。這家總部位於紐約的公司表示，該系統以自動鏈上模式結算所有捐款，促進對經過審查的非營利組織的經常性捐款。

“This initiative aligns perfectly with Foundry’s mission to empower decentralized infrastructure,” said Foundry CEO Mike Colyer in the press release. “We are excited to launch this program and look forward to expanding the list of supported non-profits in the near future.”

Foundry 執行長 Mike Colyer 在新聞稿中表示：“這項舉措與 Foundry 賦能去中心化基礎設施的使命完美契合。” “我們很高興啟動這個計劃，並期待在不久的將來擴大支持的非營利組織名單。”

To start with, the program will allow miners to choose from two non-profit organizations: Brink and OpenSats. Both organizations are dedicated to supporting the development of the Bitcoin network and its community.

首先，該計劃將允許礦工從兩個非營利組織中進行選擇：Brink 和 OpenSats。這兩個組織都致力於支持比特幣網路及其社群的發展。

Foundry said it has already committed 0.2 BTC from its own mining operations to each of these non-profits, while Bitcoin miner Core Scientific also donated 1 BTC. The donations will be used to support the valuable work of these organizations in the coming year.

Foundry 表示，它已經從自己的挖礦業務中向這些非營利組織捐贈了 0.2 BTC，而比特幣礦商 Core Scientific 也捐贈了 1 BTC。這些捐款將用於支持這些組織來年的寶貴工作。

“We are grateful for the continued support from the Bitcoin mining community,” said Brink in a statement. “These donations will go a long way in helping us further our mission of advancing Bitcoin development.”

「我們感謝比特幣挖礦社區的持續支持，」布林克在一份聲明中表示。 “這些捐款將在很大程度上幫助我們進一步推進比特幣發展的使命。”

“OpenSats is excited to partner with Foundry on this initiative and continue supporting Bitcoin core developers,” added OpenSats. “Recurring donations like these are crucial for enabling long-term planning and sustainability within the Bitcoin development community.”

OpenSats 補充道：“OpenSats 很高興能與 Foundry 合作開展這項計劃，並繼續支持比特幣核心開發人員。” “像這樣的經常性捐款對於實現比特幣開發社區的長期規劃和可持續性至關重要。”

In early 2024, crypto asset management firm Bitwise pledged to allocate 10% of its profits from the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:BITI) to support Bitcoin open-source development. At the time, the company said the funds would go towards Brink, OpenSats, and the Human Rights Foundation in an effort to “express gratitude” to the Bitcoin network developers and researchers.

2024年初，加密資產管理公司Bitwise承諾將其Bitwise比特幣ETF（NYSE：BITI）利潤的10%用於支援比特幣開源開發。當時，該公司表示，這些資金將捐給 Brink、OpenSats 和人權基金會，以向比特幣網路開發人員和研究人員「表達謝意」。

Meanwhile, investment firm VanEck earlier also pledged to allocate 5% of potential profits from its proposed spot Bitcoin ETF to support Bitcoin core developers at Brink.

同時，投資公司 VanEck 早些時候也承諾將其擬議的現貨比特幣 ETF 中 5% 的潛在利潤分配給 Brink 的比特幣核心開發人員。
