History is written by the winners of every war. If no one remembers, did it really happen?😐😐🀐

A very worthy endeavour and thank you for drawing attention it through a currency in and of it's self.

I'll give what I can too.πŸ€—

I’ve never used the service but I recognize it’s importance so I donated.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I’ve been occasionally using Wayback Machine over the years and recognize its tremendous value. But as soon as people started publicizing its existence, I knew it would be censored and taken over. β€œTHEY” don’t want β€œUS” to know.

Will donating top the take-over?

Who β€œowns” Wayback Machine now?

Can donations be sent to a physical address, via check?

I don’t know these answers, but it would be good to find out.

You should find some answers on their about or donate page (view on PC). They have a postal address listed on donate page.

Thank you so much! Why didn't I think of that? For other readers, here's the link to a message from the Internet Archive Founder, Brewster Kahle about the archive's non-profit status and why they built it as a nonprofit along with ways to donate via credit card, cryptocurrency, or check:

A good cause!

I've also donated to the PeerTube project because I think it's really a game-changer if more people start using it.

I've been meaning of publishing a list of software projects I've supported or would like to support.

I have noticed the WHO's website changes also. The way back machine holds many sources in my book and they are disappearing.

That's why we have to bookmark everything and add it to the wayback machine if there is not an archive already.

It was very handy to see just when the "authorities" changed definitions!
