These points I think are most interesting to many of us (but I don't
want to talk on behalf of others, wait for moar replies), namely those
questions concerned about how to collectively manage wealth, both from
the technical and the social/communicative standpoints.

It seems to me that the effectiveness of a struggle driven by
individuals, collectives, national/continental movements and up... can
be measured by the amount of money it gets redistributed (we are 99%),
hence my supposed adequacy of FireFund-like projects for all (h)acktivists.
