- protomyth 10y agoYep, and also it would less useful if you had to verify you owned the account to deposit in it. The classic "sending money to college student" scenario would be problematic. Thinking about it, this might be interesting from a community funding effort. Put the bar-code on your site, plead your case, and hope people send a donation.
