Back to collectionOne Transfer at a Time
When the first small transfer appeared on the public multisig's donation page, someone posted the transaction receipt in the group; the screenshot cropped out only the browser bookmarks at the top. Another followed, then another. Some people were still at work and shared only a transaction link. Others opened wallets they had not used in a long time, checked the address first, then added the transfer result beneath the original post.

Across the community of tens of thousands of home Sentry Node operators, the donation link was passed from group to group. An old machine under someone's desk was still glowing while the transfer on their phone was already confirmed. Veteran players who had stayed also joined in; one account using an old game avatar placed its donation receipt beneath a node log. The incoming-payment record listed neither occupations nor how long anyone had held on—only addresses, amounts, and times, line after line.
The watchmen put a proposal for the legal-defense fund on the governance page and attached the public multisig address, saying only, "Every transfer can be checked." The vote passed, and the DAO used its treasury to match donations proportionally. Someone moved back and forth between pages, entering community donations and treasury matching in separate columns, deleting a duplicate line, then recounting the totals. After the announcement establishing the fund went out, several more lines appeared on the donation page.
The writer checked the multisig address segment by segment and added links to the income-and-expense page to the legal-payment sheet. That sheet had previously contained only invoices, deadlines, and the studio's payment records; it now gained a community-fund column. Once the available funds were reconciled, the legal fees had continuing support and the studio could keep pursuing the case.
Donation receipts kept appearing below. Beside them, XAI closed the day at $0.006881, down 3.4% from the previous close. Someone captured the closing figure, then returned to the spreadsheet to verify the next incoming payment. The token price had lost a piece, and the funding gap on the payment sheet had lost a piece too.
The writer noted: "The lawsuit against the world's richest person was never funded by my wallet alone."
