Bug#681501: Donations to Debian will soon be easier!

(Frankly, I don't see any scenario where someone could consider this a regression.) As it has been a week since my original post and 2 days since your ping, I have committed the change to cvs. It will be live on the website after the next rebuild. I will contact DSA and the DebConf video team about the equipment donations section once it is online. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This has stalled and what you write is probably the safe default. Debian is not able to accept any cryptocurrencies at this time but we are looking into being able to support this method of donation.
