Pieter, I am so sorry to hear about this. Not sure if you need it, but I (and maybe others) would like to offer some money to help your family. It's not unheard of for people at your age to have debt, etc. Anyway to set this up?

I cannot begin to say how much I love your work. Thank you!



Well this is really kind. Yes, I'm pretty broke and have three young children who will be semi orphans. Cue violins.

Happy to receive on PayPal at ph@imatix.com. I will give my family the keys to that so they can put it aside for ma wee bairns...

Thanks for suggesting this.


Just make sure they regularly withdraw the funds, Paypal have a habit of freezing accounts. Perhaps a bitcoin address too?


Understood, thank you.


Thankyou, it's time we give you something back.


Also, it would be good if you could post the address and fact that you are broke with three children prominently on your blog. It's already buried here. I suspect there are droves of people who really want to help but don't know how. #justfkingdoit


gifts are welcome. my kids will appreciate the love from strangers. one does not ask for gifts...


Thank you!


I'll prompt people at companies where I've used ZMQ in the stack.
