Support Cypherpunk School

Cypherpunk School is free forever. No paywalls, no tracking, no data harvesting.

If you’ve learned something valuable here, consider supporting our mission to spread privacy education.

Why Cryptocurrency?

We accept cryptocurrency because we practice what we teach:

  • No payment processors tracking your donations
  • No personal data required
  • Pseudonymous support - donate without doxxing yourself
  • Censorship-resistant - no third party can block your support

Monero (Preferred)

Monero is the gold standard for private transactions. Your donation amount, your identity, and even the fact that you donated are cryptographically hidden.

XMR Address:

Why we prefer Monero

Unlike Bitcoin, Monero transactions are:

  • Private by default - amounts and addresses are hidden
  • Fungible - no “tainted” coins that can be traced
  • Untraceable - ring signatures break the transaction graph

If you’re taking this course, learning Monero is worth your time.

Bitcoin

Don’t have Monero yet? We also accept Bitcoin. Consider this your first opportunity to try XMR instead!

BTC Address:

Privacy note: Bitcoin transactions are publicly visible on the blockchain. If privacy matters to you, use Monero.

What Your Donation Supports

  • Hosting & infrastructure - Servers, domains, IPFS pinning
  • Content development - New lessons, bonus modules, updates
  • Open source tools - Scripts and utilities we share
  • Keeping it free - No pressure to monetize with ads or paywalls

Other Ways to Help

Not ready to donate? You can still support us:

  • Share the course - Tell someone who needs privacy skills
  • Report issues - Found a bug or broken link? Let us know
  • Contribute - Improvements, translations, new content
  • Practice what you learn - That’s the whole point

Transparency

We believe in practicing what we preach:

  • No tracking of donations or donors
  • No donor lists - we literally can’t know who you are (especially with Monero)
  • Funds go to education - not marketing, not “growth hacking”
"We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any."

— Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto (1993)
