Want to donate, do you accept Bitcoin? Please take my money!

Postby Jace_TBL » 09 Sep 2013 23:10

After discovering VLC for iOS, which works absolutely flawlessly, I want to express my gratitude with money. However, I refuse to support evil business like paypal, visa, mastercard, or the banking industry. Instead, I want to use Bitcoin. Besides numerous other advantages, I think it makes sense especially for open source software to accept Bitcoin donations: paying for free, open software, using 'free' (as in speech), open money. Sounds about right to me.

Could you please consider accepting Bitcoin donations? I really want to send you guys some cash!

Oh, and besides the added benefit of directly accepting Bitcoin donations without paying ridiculous fees to corrupt organizations like paypal, you can also expect to get a lot of exposure (it will definitely be mentioned on Bitcoin forums, attracting new users). And rest assured that TONS of people from the Bitcoin community (who are typically enthusiastic, generous, and rapidly growing in number) will be donating along with me.

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to getting rid of my money to you awesome people. Cheers!
