Should they accept anything that can be exchanged for fiat without too much fuss?
- 0xRolex 5y agoI don't know, do they really check who donated fiat comes from and refuse donations when it comes from, let's say, anyone involved in anything against their values ?
- Liquid_Fire 5y agoChecking this may be impractical. But for crypto donations, you don't need to check - you _know_ that it was generated in an environmentally-unfriendly way (at least for the currencies currently accepted).

- topranks 5y agoIf I was waiting on a bus that was supposed to arrive “imminently” for this long I’d be well pissed off. https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2020/05/11/vitalik-buterin-says-much-delayed-ethereum-20-still-on-track-for-july-launch/ https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2020/05/11/vitalik-buterin-say...
- robonerd 5y agoI got sick of hearing this claim years ago. At this point, it's tantamount to gaslighting.
- 0xRolex 5y agoSince cross chain activity is made available that's not true, I could do 100% of my money on avalanche or solana and bridge some only to donate
- Liquid_Fire 5y agoAren't you just moving the work to someone else, who had to mine a Bitcoin block for your donation transaction to go through?
- 5560675260 5y agoYes? As long as "without too much fuss" holds - I don't see why not.
- 0xRolex 5y agoThen why not just accept serious stablecoins ? No speculations over it, just a virtual dollar, energy efficient allowing freedom and privacy to a lot ?
- jackvalentine 5y agoSo military surplus? Brown coal? These are things with functioning markets. Should wikipedia be obligated to accept my donation of them?
