I am surprised that NTP project is not funded, fully or partially, by larger organizations or governments, given the criticality of the project.

I figured they would be funded by NIST, but the way the US government has been pulling back funding for everything, it didn't surprise me that they need money. Much like Jimmy Wales, I bet if everyone donated 5 bucks they'd be in a much better spot.

They need money because they aren’t important.
