Expenses paid by donated BTC
==============================
`docs/donations.rst` describes the "Transparent Accounting" that we use for
BTC that has been donated to the Tahoe project. That document lists the
budget items for which we intend to spend these funds, and a Bitcoin public
key for each one. It is signed by the Tahoe-LAFS Release Signing Key, and
gets re-signed each time a new budget item is added.
For every expense that get paid, the BTC will first be moved from the primary
donation key into the budget-item -specific subkey, then moved from that
subkey to whatever vendor or individual is being paid.
This document tracks the actual payments made to each vendor. This file
changes more frequently than `donations.rst`, hence it is *not* signed.
However this file should never reference a budget item or public key which is
not present in `donations.rst`. And every payment in this file should
correspond to a transaction visible on the Bitcoin block chain explorer:

Aspiration Contract
-------------------
In December 2018, we entered into an agreement with a non-profit named
Aspiration (https://aspirationtech.org/) to fund contractors for development
work. They handle payroll, taxes, and oversight, in exchange for an 8%
management fee. The first phase of work will extend through most of 2019.
* Recipient: Aspiration
* Address: 1gDXYQNH4kCJ8Dk7kgiztfjNUaA1KJcHv
These txids record the transfers from the primary 1Pxi address to the
Aspiration-specific 1gDXY subaddress. In some cases, leftover funds
were swept back into the main 1Pxi address after the transfers were
complete.
First phase, transfers performed 28-Dec-2018 - 31-Dec-2018, total 89
BTC, about $350K.
