We Won a $1,031 Microgrant From FUTO!

by Michael Altfield

We’re thrilled to announce that BusKill was the recipient of a $1,031 microgrant from FUTO!

(Can’t see video above? Watch it on PeerTube.)

We’re elated to see BusKill join the ranks next to CryptPad, ExifTool, KeePassXC, Whonix, Wireshark, Tor Project, Calyx, and numerous other awesome projects that have received grants from FUTO.

Iterate with us!

Want to print your own BusKill cable? We’ll cover your expenses for filament, magnets, and pogo pins. We plan to use these donations to document our 3D-Printable BusKill Dead Man Switch. And we need your help!

The BusKill project is looking for a volunteer to write the documentation describing how to print and build your own BusKill cable. The documentation will be written for our Sphinx Documentation Site in reStructuredText and managed in git.

If you have access to a 3D-printer, please contact us to receive funds to buy the components needed to document the build of a 3D-Printed BusKill.

Support BusKill

We look forward to continuing to improve the BusKill software and making BusKill more accessible this year. If you want to help, please consider purchasing a BusKill cable for yourself or for a loved one. It helps us fund further development and you get your own BusKill cable to keep you or your loved ones safe.
