CAVERN Tee Shirts

Here’s a proposed design for the first CAVERN Tee Shirt.

Got ideas for a good tee shirt design?
Please email me your ideas!

CryptoRights wants to print some tee shirts for people who are willing to help underwrite a prototype node at their place, so we need to hear from you! If you mention what size you want printed for you, that helps us plan the shirt printing run.

We’re looking for a local tee shirt printing company with good prices and quality cotton shirts. We’ll let everyone know here the (tax deductible!) donation that will cover the limited-run Alpha Tester shirts plus the Alpha (prototype) Mesh Node hardware components.*

* CRF will share the prototype hardware costs with alpha node operators. Once there’s a public release, alphas will get that release hardware node (which they’ll then own) at a huge discount. CRF will modify the hardware prototypes to build nodes for the beta testers who follow after the alpha pioneers. Get in early and save!
