Tldr:

in order for Accrescent to continue advancing, we need $5,800/month in recurring donations to fund its full-time development.

We are currently receiving $112 each month in recurring donations.

We are currently spending $53.53/month on our services.

We recently discovered that an unprecedented Monero donation of ~$16,062.50 was received in the short time after we totaled the latest values for this article but before it was posted.

Because this is a significant donation, we will be posting an update on our social media accounts soon about what this means for the project

Personally, ever since I heard of this store, I've not been interested. It just seems like another Google Play to me.

I understand that the developers have done some things to enhance the security such as app certificate pinning and such, but I cannot get over the fact that it's a single source that any government can contact and pull down an app from.

I personally stick with fdroid because if they are forced by governments to pull down an app the app dev can launch their own onion repo without asking permission.

And fdroid is working very diligently on reproducible builds. Which is unique in the app distribution landscape.

I understand the premise that you don't want to trust a third party if you don't have to. But I also don't trust the developers to publish the source code correctly either. At least fdroid keeps everyone honest with the code being available.
