Bitcoin donations?
« on: August 14, 2013, 09:31:10 pm »
I'd really like to donate, but I rather use bitcoins to do so. Even if I have to sacrifice the drawing I'd still like to donate with it. Does toady have a bitcoin address?

Toady, do you plan to accept bitcoin donations or donations through other means than check or Paypal, such as Google Checkout?

I don't plan on holding a bitcoin balance, and I didn't feel comfortable giving bank account information to any of the auto-conversion sites.  I don't remember the obstacles for Google Checkout, but it didn't happen immediately the first time I looked at it.

DF could actually get over 100FPS, it's just that it's mining bitcoin in the background.

edit:

Hmmm, how hard would it be to make a bitcoin miner inside DF? as in floodgate/pressure plate/gear logic?

Way too hard, considering bitcoin mining involve some pretty heavy cryptological functions and it'd take centuries of fortress-time just to get one out. And that's assuming someone's insane enough to compact the hardware into something that'd fit the embark, which's hard enough for 8 bits computers, much less many-byte complex functions.

Considering that the value of bitcoins are about as stable as a 1000 dwarf fort inside a glacial volcano, it's iffy.

I vote that Toady starts accepting them because he could start a bitcoin drug ring on the side for some additional income.

Considering that The Glorious Toad has already flat-out said that he will not accept bitcoins, I'm really surprised people keep bringing this up. It's not happening. Lock thread plzkthx
