Is there any interest in accepting bitcoin
I have a prospective member ask so I thought I would open a discussion on it

Considering the instabilities in value that BC has been experiencing, I'm not sure that setting up an account with an exchange firm somewhere to deal with exchanges would be worth it.

Who says we would exchange them?  If we're so high-tech, bleeding edge, we should just hold them as bitcoin.  It's not likely to be a big percentage of our revenue anyway.

No we will not accept bitcoin but we will accept:

 

tulip bulbs

Enron stock

Confederate currency

Zimbabwe dollars

rainbows

unicorn horns

The MTGOX bitcoin exchange has a service where bitcoins paid can be
instantly converted to USD. It would be trivial to implement, Bitcoin
prices would be displayed in real-time relative to our listed price in
USD.

In addition, we should set up something similar for direct donations.

Or, you know, they could pay us in USD, using Stripe or Paypal, like normal human beings.
