Hi,

>> Is this the devl mailing list for Hyphanet/Freenet_Classic?

freenetproject.org is the website for Hyphanet / the original Freenet.

The current developers of Hyphanet / the original Freenet have no access
to any of the donations that were made for Freenet, and except for
volunteer-hosted seednodes (thank you to the hosters!), we’re financing
the infrastructure of Hyphanet from our own pockets.

Regardless of what’s right or wrong, this is the reality on the ground
as I know it.

Best wishes,
Arne

I hadn't thought of that, I assumed it is, but that's actually a good 
question...

While we're talking about good questions and the allocation of old resources, 
what happens to the seemingly large number of bitcoins that were donated to 
former-Freenet-now-Hyphanet?

Last time I heard of them, there was "plenty of" them 
(https://www.mail-archive.com/devl@freenetproject.org/msg55173.html), which is 
a bit vague, but looking at the former donation address 
(https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/1966U1pjj15tLxPXZ19U48c99EJDkdXeqb
 if I'm not mistaken - 
https://www.mail-archive.com/devl@freenetproject.org/msg25689.html) this could 
be in the order of a few hundreds?

Since the bulk of donations to this address was made before 2020 (or even 
before 2015, really), I'm doubtful that they were intended for 
former-Locutus-new-Freenet, which had its first commit apparently on Jul 16, 
2021 
(https://github.com/freenet/freenet-core/commit/c58ed0e86fa1a4f0389d85ded8c861ee6efa96c5).
