For the last few years I've been doing most of the above work with zero personal compensation, and was beginning to question how long I could keep it up. Knowing that retroactive funding models like this are arising to support people like me is more meaningful than I can express.\n\nI appreciate you all so much, and I\u2019m looking forward to working with you in the future\n\n### Thank You!", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "keithcomito"}, "recipient": "0xa51E0a99B53d5B00937a2631d5865468A3543B7d"}}
