we are not vc funded like primal, so purple helps us a lot as it keeps our only part-time employee employed, which is a big deal because a large percentage of our contributors get their grants denied. the main benefit right now is early access to cool new tech (like notedeck tomorrow), but we're going to be adding a lot more stuff soon. hopefully one day I can pay all of our contributors with purple, but the network is just too small atm.
