# Interview with Rosco Kalis of Revoke.cash

His sources of funding:
- Sponsors
- Gitcoin Grants (he used to have a personal one but now he has changed it to just be for Revoke.cash)
- Gitcoin Grants has been his biggest income source recently
- He got an allocation from Optimisim in their retroactive public goods funding
- He also got a grant from ENS public goods program
- He has a donate button the web site
- Github Sponsors brings in the least (about $15 a month)

What about benefits?
- He likes the idea of benefits
- He believes Gitcoin grants is against this. Which he thinks makes sense
- He doesn't believe in giving tokens, but thinks that it can make sense to give premium access
to docs or other things like that.
- He's explored a little bit offering better support for a higher Github sponsors subscription, and he also offers banners on his web site.

What do you like and dislike the most about Sponsors?
- He likes that it's simple
- He dislikes that he had to fill out a bunch of tax documents through Stripe. Some annoying operational overhead
- Dislikes he doesn't make much money, versus tools like Gitcoin. He kind of feels like Gitcoin is more proactive and does more of the work for you. Also the matching is really nice. It gives a good incentive for people to give

If you could use something like Drips to raise funds in crypto, would you?
- It's interesting
- He had his wallet address on his Github in the past and never received any donations

Assuming amounts were the same, would you prefer to receive funds in fiat or crypto?
- In an ideal world, would prefer crypto
- But taxes make things more complicated. Probably prefers fiat overall for convenience

He's considering adding a premium subscription plan to revoke.cash

Would you consider splitting to dependencies if the option was available?
- Yes, he would do it
- He's already donating to some of his dependencies using Gitcoin. He likes that because there is matching.
- He would give something like 10%
- For user-facing tools, he would decide how to give based on "how often do I use this?"
- For dependencies he would decide based on "how much time has this saved me versus building it myself"
- Two examples he has given to are Ethers.js and Blockscout
- He would split to something like 5-7
