Hi Fabian, Fabián Rodríguez wrote on 2013-10-05 16:19: Good to see you're getting started, glad I could help a bit. you indeed did! :) Thanks a lot! Please let me know (in private) when you have an address so I can donate to, I'll be glad to be among the first transactions :) Ok, I will try to remember. :-) You may not want to make public a single unique Bitcoin address to receive payments (email me off-list), as it's easy to then trace/follow transactions. Bitpay does take care of that too, it generates a new wallet/address for each transaction. Hm, what's the proposed mechanism then? Randomly showing one of these addresses, or does BitPay provide a special mechanism to handle this directly?

If not, it would still be only 1%, that sounds good (and much cheaper than other solutions ;-) I saw that they also offer direct bank payment, which makes me really interested. I signed up with them and wait for feedback, so we can see how it works - thanks for the hint! Plus, I saw a rather reputable German NGO using their services, which gives them even more credibility for me. Let's see how that works out (waiting for their feedback now), otherwise I'll check other providers. Florian Good to see you're getting started, glad I could help a bit.

Hi Fabian, Fabián Rodríguez wrote on 2013-09-30 18:18: BitPay will process payments and let you keep Bitcoin or convert + deposit for free (as a non-profit): https://bitpay.com/bitcoin-for-charities thanks a lot for that - it sounds interesting, but with TDF being not a 501(c)(3), but rather a German entity tex-exempt under the local law, it won't fly. However, I really would like to keep BitCoin moving and offer it. Do you know of any other service providers, ideally in Germany, that would allow us to accept Bitcoins? Do you have any hands-on experience? While googling, I found quite a few, but if you have a recommendation, that'd be pretty helpful! :-) Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-marketing] Donation options.
Hi :) We just had a suggestion on the Users Mailing List that bit-coin might be another good option to add to help more people be able to donate more easily. I don't know if it's difficult to set-up. My guess is that if it hasn't already been done then it's probably more difficult than it sounds and might not be worth doing. On the other hand it might just not have been thought of at the time the donations page was made and just be a dohh moment so i thought i would forward the idea jic Regards from Tom :) From: GM4N ® N g_...@hotmail.com To: us...@global.libreoffice.org us...@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Sunday, 22 September 2013, 13:29 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Donation options. Hi, i don't know if this is the correct address for support, but anyway: You should add bitcoin as a donation option. for me for example .. i live in belgium and we use a different credit-card (no visa/mastercard) and i do not own a paypal account. I would donate btc if it was an option.
