Replying to [comment:10 cypherpunks]:
> Had you accepted bitcoins a year ago, through any number of exchanges
you could have received 1000 bitcoins in donations at $5/btc. Today, btc
is worth $12.99/btc. A $5,000 donation turns into $12,990 for doing
nothing but sitting on said donation in your btc wallet.
Had we invested in AAPL or GOOG we also could get a great return. However,
we're not talking about how Tor invests its money, we're talking about
accepting credit/debit cards directly.
Still working on dwolla and a payment processor or two.
