Two thoughts:<p>1) About time! You&#x27;d have thought a crowdsourced open source software community would have adopted Bitcoin sooner.<p>2) Why does the Coinbase donation form require my email and mailing address? Just give me a QR code.

You mean, &quot;Wikimedia now uses Coinbase as another payment provider to collect US currency for donations&quot;?

I remember that there were multiple userbase attempts to lobby Wikimedia for this in the past. Looks like Coinbase&#x27;s recent partnering successes have made the difference, in this case at least.

Where is their address, how do I just send them bitcoins?

I started BTC donation, but they ask you for your name and address... what! Anyway I found out you can go through with a bogus name and address.

At the time of the last fundraising round I was quite surprised that they didn&#x27;t accept bitcoin. Good news.

Looks like coinbase.com is not loading at the moment. Is it conceivable that this crashed their site?
