 As far as Tails is concerned, my guess is "a bit, probably", but it is
 very hard to say.

 Anyway, Tails should be able to accept donations in other currencies
 "soon". Then, we will stop redirecting every potential non-Bitcoin donor
 outright to the Tor project, which should make things more symmetric
 again.
