So I imagine the grant money to be split into:\r\n\r\n| Use       | Amount (CAD) |\r\n|:----------|-------------:|\r\n| Taxes     | x            |\r\n| Hardware  | y            |\r\n| Salary    | z            |\r\n| **Total** | **6,251.27** |\r\n\r\n_x_ and _y_ will be held in CAD, and if we use the exact same process as ssbc-grants-scuttlemesh, _z_ will need to be converted to Ethereum. I am a little uncomfortable converting grant money from CAD into a volatile asset even though I really like the simplicity and transparency of how we are disbursing the SSBC grant. Active contributors to this repository should consense on these items."}}
