Hello Tiberiu, We've received the GNUcash file [0][1] from our delegate (fauno [2]) with our current expenses, assets and profits. I have a few questions for you, since I have some confusion and I think you could could help us clarify. There are several users worried about our donations and gains. We also have a policy about transparency for our community which donors feel were neglected. Here are the questions:
* Why were all of our BTC converted to RON? I found an email about it letting us know it was being done [3]. I remember, we agreed about it with you for legal reasons (at that time I wasn't an investor, and didn't understand about economics). However, I don't remember when it was done, if it was **all** or just some of the BTC, for expense, annual declaration, etc. Could you let us know if there was a consensus about this and if there are references from Romanian laws stating that it is mandatory? I realize this was a long time ago, but it is an important question for our community. * What is the issue if we were to keep donations inside our bitcoin wallet (a.k.a. "limbo") until we would declare it (eg. annual declaration or when someone will use it for expenses) to avoid wasting our gains? * If all money converted from bitcoins (BTC) to RON was for legal reasons, then why weren't our faircoins (FAIR) converted too? * If converting our crypt-coins to any currency such as RON, is needed we would like to receive references from Romanian laws for better clarification and to avoid misunderstanding inside our community. Several anon donors asked me for references in private. Could you give us references about those points from Romanian laws? * Why did we convert our assets to RON instead of EUR? Is it a better currency than EUR (we have an account in EUR too)? Is it for some legal reason? Could you give us references about this? * We would like to receive money as paid hackers (not only for non-profit things) since we have plans to offer services such as technical support, pentesting, webstore, videogames, etc. Is it possible to still do this with Ceata since you are a non-profit entity? * If it isn't possible, then we should open a legal entity (eg. offshore) for Parabola and declare our gains in our residential countries or another similar legal ways (eg. micro-business), then my question is: Could be it a trouble for you since we will receive profit assets and your non-profit ones? Could help us giving us references from Romanian laws to help understand it better? * Since we have our GNUcash file already sent by fauno, could you send to fauno all paperworks, bills, invoices, currency exchange copies declared by Ceata about our expenses? It's very important, since Parabola has a policy about transparency for our donations. These should be posted on our wiki so that donors are no longer worried. Sincerely, André.
