A lot of people have been wondering about how to get Bitcoin donations to Julian Assange after nostr:npub1xw7h0efeg5s8gla2uyu55jh4lfrlgppcjemrwkmdc7lgvhkcz3fqpvumsa wrote about the need to fundraise for the USD 520,000 to cover his flight on VJT199 to Saipan. I talked with his half-brother Gabriel, who set up this link on their nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg instance.

Verify, don't trust as always. All I can say is that I sent sats to this BTCPay instance, and that it came to me from the same Signal account as when I interviewed Gabriel for articles like the following: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerhuang/2021/06/21/julian-assanges-continued-imprisonment-is-a-test-for-bitcoins-values/

Ummm I’d verify this first …

I hate to say it, but don't donate to this. There is Zero credibility to back this up. I am not accusing anyone, but donating to this with no proof would be a poor decision.

I recommend finding the link on Twitter or somewhere from his official campaign and donating that way.

Be cautious, there's no proof to back this up.

To verify (sorry for not providing this earlier, but I didn't want to force the issue with the family and was rushing for a meetup) - I provide the following:

X post from his half-brother, Gabriel Shipton's account linking to my Forbes article where I link to the BTCpay instance.

My Forbes article, where you can cross-compare the BTCPay Server URL there with the one here (https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/06/25/julian-assanges-family-is-raising-funds-for-him-with-bitcoin/)
