![Wow! Rust-based Redox OS Gets an Anonymous Donation of $390,000 in Cryptocurrency](/data/attachment/album/202209/25/110434g9tqv0s9x7kllc1c.png)


[Redox OS](https://www.redox-os.org/) 是一个用 Rust 编写的类 Unix 操作系统。


该项目由 Jeremy Soller 于 2015 年发起，他被公认为 [System76](https://system76.com/) 的首席工程师及[Pop!\_OS](https://pop.system76.com/) 的维护者。


我们还介绍了它今年早些时候的最后一个版本：[基于 Rust 的 Redox OS 0.7.0 推出增强硬件支持](https://news.itsfoss.com/redox-os-0-7-0-release/)。


虽然这些更新包括的改进可以让它在更多硬件上启动，但它可能不是大多数用户的日常驱动程序的替代品。


然而，这是一个令人兴奋的项目，值得关注。


**而在收到匿名捐款后，事情变得更加精彩**。


? 刚刚有人向 Redox OS 的捐赠地址发送了 **299 个以太坊**，相当于近 **39 万美元**（加密货币市场涨跌不定）。


嗯，那是一大笔钱！


根据 Jeremy 的最新推文，他还没有立即决定如何处理它。

但是，对推文的回复给了我们一些很好的建议。


一些人建议将其捐赠给负责 Rust 语言的人，还有一些人建议用这笔钱来赞助学习 Rust 和 OS 开发。


他肯定可以使用它来扩展 Redox OS 或其他任何需要该资源的东西。


归根结底，对于想要更多基于 Rust 的东西的人来说，无论 Jeremy 选择做什么，这都可能间接成为一件好事。


或者，也许买一辆带有 Redox OS 标志的布加迪？好吧，一些推特用户对这一事件有过搞笑的回复！?

当 Jeremy 决定分享有关捐赠的更多细节以及他打算如何处理时，我将更新这篇文章。

[Redox OS](https://www.redox-os.org/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) is a Unix-like operating system written in Rust.

The project was launched in 2015 by Jeremy Soller, popularly recognized as the Principal Engineer at [System76](https://system76.com/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) and a maintainer for [Pop!_OS](https://pop.system76.com/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

We also covered its last release earlier this year:

[Rust-based Redox OS 0.7.0 Arrives with Enhanced Hardware SupportWhile we continue to observe new releases of Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros at this time of the year, here’s something for a change. The one we’re highlighting here is—Redox OS, which focuses on stability and security. We already covered an article back in 2016 during its early](https://news.itsfoss.com/redox-os-0-7-0-release/)![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/04/redox-os-0-7-0.jpg)

While the update involved improvements that allowed it to boot on more hardware, it may not be a replacement daily driver for most users.

Nevertheless, it is an exciting project to keep an eye on.

**And things got more exciting for it after it received an anonymous donation**.

🤯 Someone just sent **299 Ethereum** to Redux OS's donation address, equivalent to nearly **$3,90,000** (with ups and downs in the cryptocurrency market).

Well, that is a lot of money!

As per Jeremy's last tweet, he hasn't decided immediately what to do with it.

An anonymous donor just sent 299 Ether (equivalent to 393,000 USD) to the

— Jeremy Soller (@jeremy_soller)[@redox_os]donation address. Both this address and transaction are public. I have no idea what to do with a donation of this size but will have more details soon after some research.[https://t.co/f3yBDghWSh][September 20, 2022]

However, the replies to the tweet give us some good suggestions.

Some suggest donating it to the folks responsible for Rust language, and some suggest using the money to sponsor learning rust and OS development.

He can surely use it to scale up Redox OS or anything else that needs that resource.

At the end of the day, for people who want more Rust-based stuff, this could be indirectly a good thing with whatever Jeremy chooses to do.

Or, maybe buy a Buggati with a Redox OS logo on it? Well, some Twitter users have had hilarious replies to this incident! 😂

I shall update this article when Jeremy decides to share more details on the donation and what he plans to do with it.
