I don’t see a good solution to this.

What’s to prevent real terrorists from creating a repo with some fake or even a functional piece of software and start funnelling money this way?

One of these cases where total surveillance seems tempting again…

What would he the difference between this hypithetical github repo and a fake B2B service company?

Seems like the same issue already exists.

Agree. No solution in both cases, governments cannot say “it’s a donation to a guy maintaining a gothic repo, therefore it cannot be anything criminal”

Sounds horribly ineffective compared to money laundering methods already used by criminals

Yeah, I wouldn’t dismiss this possibility based on this fact alone though.
