# Bitcoin donations?

 * I’d like to suggest accepting donations in Bitcoin (or making it more visible,
   I couldn’t find this option if it’s already available).
 * It would encourage small amount donations and also make it possible for people
   unable or not willing to use Paypal to donate.

 * I am sorry if I assumed you knew about Bitcoin and you didn’t. You can watch 
   a short video introducing Bitcoin at [https://bitcoin.org](https://bitcoin.org).
 * There are several ways to accept Bitcoin. You could setup your own wallet and
   publish its address (using free open source software [Electrum](http://electrum.org)
   on a PC or [Bitcoin Wallet](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=bitcoin&fdid=de.schildbach.wallet)
   on Android, for example).
 * Several WordPress plugins help integrate direct payments or via third-party payment
   processors like [Bitpay](http://bitpay.com) which help releasing funds to a regular
   bank account or you can just buy goods/services in Bitcoin directly or forward
   Bitcoin among the developers, etc..
 * I encourage you to research this and experiment with small amounts, let me know
   if you have any questions.

 * Thank you [@magicfab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magicfab/), I will 
   research it, could you just tell me if I need to pay any real money, recurrent
   or one time, per account or per transaction, to be your customer?

 * [@john](https://wordpress.org/support/users/john/), I don’t sell anything nor
   do I provide payment processor services. If you use Bitpay, check their conditions.
   Otherwise you can just setup your own wallet and decide what to do, you don’t
   need any intermediary. The software is completely free, it assigns you an address
   the first time you use it, and it lets you re-send any Bitcoins received to anyone
   else doing the same.
