Hm. What we could do (talking as Torservers.net) is set up a Bitcoin
bucket and convert it into (cash) donations to TorProject Inc. from
time to time. Or, just provide the Bitcoins to Tor developers
directly.

All in all, I have my doubts that just offering Bitcoin on top of
the available methods (including cash in the mail) will change much.
TorProject Inc. is a big operation these days, and unfortunately
individual donations never make more than a few percent of the
budget. That said, every donation with "no strings attached" is
very useful and very much appreciated.

In that regard, thanks also to everyone who donates to torservers.net
and thus helps grow the Tor network.
