This is likely the most famous Chinese poet of all time.

This shall not list bugs solved by my accepted pull requests.

Some of the contributions are subjectively self evaluated based on:

Login walls. Lol.

Interesting dude, with some interest overlaps with Ciro Santilli, like quantum computing:

The anonymity of the donation is mind blowing.

The first sensation Ciro Santilli got was as if God himself had come down from heaven to toy with an unsuspecting human being. God running an experiment. Or perhaps an AGI that had already secretly taken over. Not very different.

Like with God, this was the answer to Ciro's prayers on Twitter. A one way conversation that leaves you uncertain of the details.

Whichever the case, Ciro is going to put on the best show he possibly can for your money, documenting every step along the way in usual fashion!

Besides the awesomeness however, anonymity is a risk.

Ciro ran this over and over in his head, and the only big risk of anonymity is that if this money is ever proven to be from the proceeds of crime, he would have to give it back to the government and "lose one year's salary he would have otherwise gained".

However, that worst case scenario is not bad enough. If anything, it was a great excuse to quit his job for his family and wife is already worth it. Ciro could do it and survive, though situation would deteriorate slowly. But he was a coward previously.

Ciro does however feel that there is good chance that it is legitimate.

Just be warned, if you come with a baseball bat trying to get the money back by force, I will call the police immediately and by God you will not get it!!

Given this, Ciro just keeps thinking about the likely profile of the donor:

But the "why anonymous if not criminal" question remains. Generally rich people want recognition both for:Two options that come to mind:
