To be totally, completely, honest I don't really want us to collect it...
and at this point it's mostly for personal reasons.
First off this isn't really a huge new push to get us to accept bitcoin,
they have been doing this ever 5-6 months in an organized fashion

Actually, scrap that, I've got an even better Ponzi scheme - sorry,
cryptocurrency: TomCoin.
And, best of all, if you start
It's *completely* wrong to call these things Ponzi schemes.
*Technically*, they're pump-and-dumps.

Hi, Pine.
I'm afraid that I'm not in the loop as to where it is at the moment. The
last I heard about it was in September, when it was to undergo legal review
before being submitted to the Board. But I'll try to find out where it is
right now. :)

In my opinon this whole bitcoin debate is framed incorrectly. The question
is not if it should be accepted or not, but which parameters make any
currency or payment method acceptable.
If I had to name a few, I would say:
Hi everyone,
We'd like to draw your attention to our recent amendment of the 2009
Biographies of Living People resolution. We have amended that resolution to
refer to both text and media when considering articles or images of living
people:
Hi Maria,
thanks for sharing. To appreciate the resolution in its proper context, I
was wondering if you could share if there was a specific trigger to this

Thank you, Maria for passing this on, and to the Board of Trustees for
adding wording to the resolution that more clearly conveys that WMF
projects are creating content and acting as a repository for a broad range
of media that have the potential to cause harm to living people.

I can think of a few reasons why we should accept bitcoin:
* It's consistent with our leadership in internet technology
* Our peers like EFF, and Internet archive accept it
* It's secured using the same kinds of encryption we rely on to maintain
user privacy
* It permits donations from countries

I hope this is a coincidence. I have great difficulty believing that
the WMF board of trustees passed a resolution imagining that it would
appear to be a good thing that the *very first* action it is used for
is to justify the deletion of an artwork of one of its own members.
Whatever else is

Well, this article from a year ago argues that bitcoin is safer for
donors than donating national currency:

The recent LCA consultations have been models of collaborative policy
