New git-annex crowdfunding campaign

Having reached the end of my Kickstarter funded year working on the git-annex assistant, I've decided to try one more crowdfunding campaign, to see if I can get funded to work on it a little while longer. I went back and forth on this for a while. The Kickstarter funded development was extremely successful (one of the most productive years of my life). I certianly want to work on git-annex more, and have lots more stuff to do, particularly around security and encryption. On the other hand, it's hard to frame ongoing development as a normal Kickstarter campaign to start something new.

Anyway, I've decided to go ahead and try it, and not do it through Kickstarter this time. So I have my own website set up and accepting donations, and hopefully I'll make enough to spend a few more months working on git-annex.

... And if not, I'll probably spend a few months working on git-annex part time, while looking for paying work with the rest of my time.

By the way, I'm taking payments in both US Dollars (via Paypal) and Bitcoin (via Coinbase). Can't wait to see how this works out!
