I believe it is extremely important to have an archive of monero's source Incase something bad happens.

You can not call yourself a privacy project and rely on githubs good will!

That is why I have made this fundraiser to help me cover the electrity and maintenance costs for one year of (self)hosting. I hope you guys can understand how important this is and help me cover those costs by sending any amount of monero to the fundraising address.

Archive.org can resurrect github projects.

i.e. https://web.archive.org/web/20221115012936/https://codeload.github.com/monero-project/monero/zip/refs/heads/master

This idea has been discussed already in the gitmonero project https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/408#note_22516

Relevant comment...

At the last Monero Community Workgroup meeting, there were some discussions.

The main points are that Git is decentralized, backups are already in place and have been tested, Wownero has a mirror.

The hosting is quite inexpensive, and is very simple to set up. I believe that a CCS is too much for something this small.

I also just began hosting a mirror (and a Gitea server for anyone who wants to use it) over Tor.

It can also function as a way for people from censored countries to access/interact with the source code. As I have said before as a privacy project you cannot afford to keep the code in one vulnerable place (GitHub).
