We gotta get the org chart and teams out onto inside.gratipay.com. This ticket is so top-heavy it's about to fall over! O.o

The most important thing to me right now is capital (#405). My contract with COS is up at the end of the year. I could maybe re-up with them, and I do have a lead on another contract, but I really want to work on Gratipay full time again in 2017. We're not close enough on revenue for that, so to make that a reality we would need outside funding.

From @dmk246 in private SMS re: our HackerOne queue (shared with permission):

Bam! All tickets up to date as far as comments go! Woohoo! (Until they write back) LOL

It's hard for the rest of us to see since it's private, but it takes a lot of work to stay on top of our HackerOne queue. I'm really grateful to @dmk246 for the job she's doing over there.

!m @dmk246 💃

Same goes for our Freshdesk (customer support) queue, of course. !m @mattbk :-)
