(NFT) <a 
href="https://foundation.app/torproject/dreaming-at-dusk-35855";>auction of a 
generative art piece we called Dreaming at Dusk</a>, created by artist Itzel 
Yard (<a href="https://foundation.app/ixshells";>ixshells</a>) and derived from 
the private key of the first onion service, Dusk.</p>

action was held on <a href="https://foundation.app";>Foundation</a> and resulted 
in a final bid of 500 Ethereum (ETH), roughly $2M USD at the time of the 
auction, with the proceeds going towards the Tor Project and our work to 
improve and promote Tor.</p>

+title: v2 onion services deprecation, new Board members, NFT auction results
+---
+body:
+
+## Starting July 15, Tor will no longer support v2 onion services
+https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline
+
+If you are an onion site administrator, you must upgrade to v3 onion services 
as soon as possible.
+
+As we announced last year, v2 onion services will be deprecated and obsolete 
in Tor 0.4.6.x. As of April 2021, Tor Browser Alpha uses this version of Tor 
and v2 addresses no longer work in this and future versions of Tor Browser 
Alpha.
+
+When Tor Browser stable moves to Tor 0.4.6.x in October 2021, v2 onion 
addresses will be completely unreachable.
+
+Why are we deprecating v2 onion services? Safety. Technologies used in v2 
onion services are vulnerable to different kinds of attacks, and v2 onion 
services are no longer being developed or maintained. The new version of onion 
services provides improved encryption and enhanced privacy for administrators 
and users.
+
+It's critical that onion service administrators migrate to v3 onion services 
and work to inform users about this change as soon as possible.
+
+Read more about the deprecation on our blog: 
https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline
+
+## Announcing new Board members
+https://blog.torproject.org/announcing-board-alissa-desigan-kendra
+
+We are excited to announce that three new members are joining the Tor 
Project’s Board of Directors: Alissa Cooper, Desigan (Dees) Chinniah, and 
Kendra Albert! Each new member comes to Tor with a different set of expertise 
that will help the organization and our community.
+
+Alissa Cooper is a Chief Technology Officer and Fellow at Cisco Systems and 
served in a variety of leadership roles in the Internet Engineering Task Force 
(IETF). We are excited that Alissa is joining the Board, her expertise will 
help Tor continue to mature as an organization. 
+
+Desigan Chinniah is a long time supporter of Tor. He is a creative 
technologist with a strong background in the Free Software movement as well as 
in the industry with his experience as an investor and on product. We are 
looking forward to his contribution to the Board and to Tor. 
+
+Kendra Albert is a public interest technology lawyer with a special interest 
in computer security and in protecting marginalized speakers and users. They 
serve as a clinical instructor at the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard Law School, 
where they teach students to practice law by working with pro bono clients. We 
are also honored to have Kendra with us and their legal expertise will be a big 
bonus to Tor.
+
+Please join us in welcoming Alissa, Dees, and Kendra to the Board! Read more 
about them on our blog:

+## PrivChat #4 | 25th Anniversary of Onion Routing
+
+https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wbivkG8TcU
+
+Celebrate 25 years of onion routing with Tor!
+
+May 31, 2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the first public presentation of 
onion routing in Cambridge, UK at Isaac Newton Institute's first Information 
Hiding Workshop.
+
+In the latest edition of PrivChat, we celebrated this special moment by 
talking about beginnings of onion routing, and how this idea became Tor, and 
how the Tor Project eventually came to be with Paul Syverson, one of the 
authors of the first onion routing paper, the Tor Project co-founders Roger 
Dingledine and Nick Mathewson, and Tor Board member Gabriella Coleman.
+
+Watch the celebratory edition of PrivChat to commemorate the 25th anniversary 
of onion routing on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/-wbivkG8TcU 
+
+## Dreaming at Dusk: the Tor Project’s NFT Auction & What's Next
+https://blog.torproject.org/nft-auction-and-whats-next
+
+In mid-May, the Tor Project held a nonfungible token (NFT, 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token) auction of a generative art 
piece we called Dreaming at Dusk 
(https://foundation.app/torproject/dreaming-at-dusk-35855), created by artist 
Itzel Yard (ixshells, https://foundation.app/ixshells) and derived from the 
private key of the first onion service, Dusk.
+
+This action was held on Foundation (https://foundation.app/) and resulted in a 
final bid of 500 Ethereum (ETH), roughly $2M USD at the time of the auction, 
with the proceeds going towards the Tor Project and our work to improve and 
promote Tor.
+
+Raising roughly $2M USD in one day breaks all records of individual giving we 
could possibly imagine, and we are extremely humbled and grateful for the 
success of this auction and what this means for the Tor Project nonprofit 
organization. Learn more about why we held this auction, the artist ixshells, 
and what happens next with the money raised on our blog: 
https://blog.torproject.org/nft-auction-and-whats-next
+
+## Check the status of Tor services with status.torproject.org
+
+https://blog.torproject.org/check-status-of-tor-services
+
+The Tor Project now has a status page which shows the state of our major 
services: https://status.torproject.org
+
+You can check status.torproject for news about major outages in Tor services, 
including v3 and v2 onion services, directory authorities, our website 
(torproject.org), and the check.torproject.org tool. The status page also 
displays outages related to Tor internal services, like our GitLab instance.
+
+Read more on our blog about why we launched status.torproject.org, how the 
service was built, and how it works:
