“One of the world’s longest-running open source software projects will live on, thanks to a Romanian bitcoin baron.  Recently, Theo de Raadt and the other engineers who oversee the OpenBSD operating system were hit with a $20,000 bill for the electricity that feeds the computers on which they test this venerable piece of software. fter they revealed that the bill could bring the project down, Mircea Popescu, the Romanian who runs the online bitcoin exchange MPEx, stepped in to save them.  It’s another example of how the bitcoin community is working to boost the fortunes of the wider world of open source software.”
