How about allowing people to pay with bitcoin?
See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2014-May/msg00079.html "The board has been advised by our accounting contacts and lawyers that we should not take Bitcoin directly because it will greatly increase the likelyhood of GNOME being audited by the IRS, which is likely to lead to the Foundation losing the not-for-profit status temporarily, to incur accounting costs of over USD 10000 in that year (which is considerably more than current costs) and eat into the board's and employees' time. Based on current personal donation trends, it is extremely unlikely that the Foundation will receive anywhere close to USD 10000 in Bitcoin donations." Unfortunate. Have a great Monday, Michael
