  • "The desire to achieve Julian's liberation and maintain civil freedom", drove the increase in donations, Josh, core moderator of Assangedao, who is known under the user name JB87, told Blockworks
  • A watch NFT was bought by the DAO for 16,593 $ 53 million to finance assanges defense and attorney fees
A week ago, Assangedao started a project to collect money for the detained Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Back then it had no money.

Within the first day after the start, over 67 ether were collected, about $ 215,000. Six days of spooling until February 9th, and it rose by 25,903 % to about 17.422 ether or 55 million US on juicebox-the same platform before Constitutiondao was used in its unsuccessful $ 49 million offer for an original copy of the US constitution.

London's delivery threatens to the United States due to 18 charges that result from the publication of thousands of secret US military files by Wikileaks in 2010. He is currently in a prison in London, but is trying to bring his case to the Supreme Court of the United States. When he is delivered to the USA, he threatens 175 years in prison for the publication of the information, the DAO said.

assange and Bitcoin

assange and wikileaks have a story with crypto. Wikileaks received articles about a PayPal account managed by the WAU Holland Foundation. The foundation managed most of Wikileaks's funds, but their account was frozen after they were confronted with counter -reactions because of the publication of confidential information that was disapproved by many at the time. The group then accepted Bitcoin donations-far back in 2010-when she could not collect money in other ways.

That was the first time that many people heard from Bitcoin. The step attracted the attention of the illusory creator of cryptocurrency, Satoshi Nakamoto, concerned in one of his last public writings that the interweaving of Wikileaks and Bitcoin could harm the resulting network.

"Bitcoin is a small beta community in its infancy. They would not bear it to get more than change, and the heat they would bring with them would probably destroy us at this stage," wrote Nakamoto.

The clock

The collected funds should help to finance assanges by auctioning the auction of the censored 1/1 clock nft (non-fungable token) of the Kryptokstlers Pak, in collaboration with Assange.

"The NFT gives the web3 [and] crypto community the opportunity to interact with the systems we build and have a work of art that Julian worked on," said JB87. "The DAO now has this piece."

the o'clock NFT was bought on Wednesday morning by the DAO, a collective of self-proclaimed" Cypherpunks ", for about 16,593 ether or 53 million US dollar and is updated every day to indicate how many days Assange was detained.

"This DAO represents passion and energy that the global community feels for the realization of justice. Not only for Julian, but for the entire journalism industry," remarked JB87.

On Wednesday, the DAO led by the community had over 16,000 followers on Twitter. The DAO uses the Ethereum blockchain to distribute its Justice Governance token to contributors who have donated ether. The tokens have no value yet, but will probably appear on decentralized stock exchanges and give the members of the community the opportunity to vote on governance suggestions for the DAO.

"Tens of thousands of people come together here to show true strength - the power of the people," said JB87 in the Assangedao Discord. "In less than a week we showed that decentralized and distributed peoples can join together to combat injustice."

The Assangedao contribution collects $ 55 million in six days to free the founder of Wikileaks.
