I understand that during your interaction with fans of the free software movement, you must receive significantly more "free advice" than free work or donations. I apologize on behalf of my personality type! :) Naive question: could one of your core members accept bitcoin on behalf of the Conservancy and manually convert the balance into a paper check or wire transfer periodically? I expect that the very public nature of bitcoin transactions would discourage embezzlement. A little script added to https://gitorious.org/conservancy/website https://gitorious.org/conservancy/website could display the transaction log. "Sorry, t-shirts and recognition aren't available for bitcoin donations at this time." shrug That's how I'd do it. </free advice> :)
