It has been considered. :-) I don't want to use BTC as a medium of account due to the wildly fluctuating value; I may take BTC as a medium of exchange -- that is, "pay $X worth of BTC" -- at some point in the future, but I haven't found a payment-handling service which I'm happy with yet. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
