Bitcoins

Tachanka! accepts bitcoins donations.....

notes from email:

  • clearly point out its limits in protecting the sending users' privacy,

just because there is a somewhat common misconception that bitcoin was a fully anonymous way of payment, and also because knowing these limits makes it easier for donors to donate

​http://eprint.iacr.org/2012/584.pdf

  • state how bitcoin can be better than standard bank transfers (possibly

less monitoring and possibly more anonymity)

  • prefer (and state that we prefer) face-to-face donations with neither

paper nor electronic trail whenever comfortably possible

  • explain how bitcoins can be bought in a couple places in the world in

a way which preserves the donors' privacy as much as possible (think ukash, paysafecard, pre-paid credit cards, other kinds of pre-paid systems and vouchers) and with minimum losses in fees (which usually go to entities we specifically do not want to support); we should probably concentrate on the richer countries there (since this is where we'd hope most donations to come from)

  • generate bitcoin addresses in a way which maximizes donor privacy

(e.g. I'm not sure whether it makes a difference in terms of a third party to correlate whether you create 100 addresses at the same or whether you spread it out across some days with random intervals)
