Ask HN: Optimal legal entity for an OSS project on the benefits/hassle matrix?

1 pointsby cleanyourroomover 6 years ago
Anyone have an opinion on which (if any) legal entity provides the best ratio of benefit : hassle for a smallish Open Source project that wants to accept donations, likely in multiple currencies (including crypto ones)?<p>501c3 seems like a big pain in the ass as far as paperwork, directors, etc.<p>An LLC actually looks like a reasonable option, but perhaps I&#x27;m missing something there.<p>Just not form one at all and have someone be the donations guy?<p>Just curious what people&#x27;s experiences are.
