Slackware Creator Patrick Volkerding needs help

It was sad to know that Patrick (The creator/maintainer of Slackware) is on financial crisis.

It is unfortunate that he do not get his share of income from the store, and now he is

I mean, I'm sitting here in a house with a giant hole in the roof, a broken door sealed with duct tape, and a failed air conditioning condenser that I can't afford to fix, my wife has been driving on a spare tire for weeks, my teeth need serious attention again, and I only just got a machine here with UEFI for the first time (bought a used machine... really out of my budget but it had to be done).

The Slackware community is eager to help and for the time being Patrick gave his PayPal account link before he could setup a proper channel for donation.

And please donate if you like Slackware and willing to help.

Patrick has a cafepress account for Official Licensed Slackware Store. Confirmed by Patrick.

Why people think bitcoin has value, I still don't understand?

I still don't understand why people will value Bitcoin or any derivative coins.

When I first heard about the name of Bitcoin when it was first come out, my instinct think of it has absolutely no value besides wasting resources to calculate those blocks.

The so call decentralize nature of it only has value on the eyes criminal for money laundering. Each and every transaction need to be kept in the bitcoin network and it is growing bigger and bigger. That is causing Transaction are getting longer and longer

Even with today's value of USD$8K per bitcoin, I still see no value of it.
