Important Announcement
We have made the decision to no longer list projects in sensitive conflict zones, including any project raising funds for, or located in such zones. This is effective today.
It wasn’t an easy decision, and it’s one that we know will bring some disappointment amongst you.
Geyser has always stood for providing access to crowdfunding to those that previously didn’t. We serve a global user-base that, through the power of Bitcoin and human connection, has and will continue to positively impact the world.
We have also gone through great lengths to preserve Bitcoin’s properties of being a sovereign medium of exchange, ensuring we never take custody of funds and do not require the submission of identification to raise funds.
Unfortunately, and as many of you know, the movement of funds is increasingly a point of scrutiny. Even more so when the destination of those funds is a conflict area where it is difficult to have any guarantee that funds won’t be used to finance war, resistance movements, scams and criminal activities.
We do not custody, administer, or control any funds contributed to the projects at any time. Additionally, we aim to avoid the possibility of these funds falling into the wrong hands. Accepting and listing such projects could necessitate implementing increasingly intrusive measures to verify the identities of creators, which we prefer to avoid.
Importantly, we have no reason to believe any funds raised on Geyser to this day have been used for criminal activities. But, after carefully considering the risks, we decided to no longer list projects in those high risk regions.
For these types of sensitive projects in conflict zones, protocols > platforms.
While this was a difficult decision, it is one that will allow us to give a greater focus on supporting the creators, educators and builders furthering Bitcoin adoption.
Our mission continues to be to enable powerful Bitcoin ideas around the world.

Leaving Palestine out to dry like that? Why??
You are free to setup a fundraising site if it's important to you, some people don't wanna go to jail for this
The what’s the point of uncensorable money if we are afraid of what for state is going to do if we use it the way it’s intended?
Selective financial freedom. I don’t see Israel or Russia in the list, both of them involved.
Don't get me wrong, Geyser is a great project and it helps a lot to get attention to your cause - but this shows why open source wins when sh*t hits the fan. All displaced projects can spin up a BTCPay instance and start their crowdfunding there.

UNLICENSED MONEY TRANSMITTER
STRAIGHT TO JAIL!
I notice that Israel doesn’t make the list, but Palestine does.
So we can use Geyser to donate to those perpetrating a genocide, just not to those being slaughtered?
Any project harming others will be delistedx, wherever it's based.
Which projects were deleted, besides ones from Ukraine and Gaza?
Monero fixes that. 👍
Everyday someone discovers (again) why privacy in money is important 😂
Tell me geyser is run by jews without telling me geyser is run by jews.
Did you just equalized resistance movements with criminal activities?
Iranians stuck inside Iran were never supported by geyser or any other funding platform. So whatever!
