2/ These features were chosen after extensively interviewing activists from across the globe.
Conclusions:
Human rights defenders need an easy way to privately receive BTC/LN donations.
They need a way to peg BTC to dollars.
And they need cash-level privacy for transactions.

5/ A world where anyone can download an open-source, non-KYC, non-custodial BTC wallet and:
A) Print a QR code to privately receive tips
B) Choose to transact BTC with cash-like privacy
C) Peg BTC to dollars w/o trusting a custodian
...is a world we want to live in 🚀

6/ We launch this program with the hope that at least two of the three bounties get claimed in the next 12 months.
Any unclaimed bounty funding will be folded into @HRF's Bitcoin Development Fund on January 1, 2023 for distribution via grants that following month.

7/ There are many ways to achieve these three features, including ways that no one has even thought of so far.
Just as Bitcoin UX has improved dramatically in the past year, it will continue to improve in the next year and we hope this program can assist in this evolution.

8/ We believe that these three features and many more will eventually come to Bitcoin, no matter what.
Bolt 12, DLCs, and federated chaumian mints already lay the groundwork.
But dissidents need better money today, so why not provide an extra incentive :)

9/ We look forward to keeping you posted on the challenge program, and will announce whenever a bounty is claimed.
We wish good luck to anyone competing in this challenge.
Fiat delenda est.
