agreed,  the problem is someone ask them why they don't take bitcoins, they'll say it's too complicated.....  that's my guess.



I looked at their site and cannot find any way to contact them at all. 

We'd be happy to set them up to accept donations and we'd send the US Dollars into their account the next day.  if anyone has any contacts there, we can reach out to them.

I sent an email with a link to your post and offer.

One of the many wonderful advantages of a distributed payment system. Every time something like that happens, the fundamental value of Bitcoin rises.

Wow, Paypal is stupid.  I need to read the article now, but based on headline alone, this just screams to Diaspora users to get on an alternate currency system.  Which I figured most would be on top of anyways.

PayPal is blocking donations to open source Facebook alternative Diaspora, according to a blog post from the organisation.

The online payment giant has reportedly frozen Diaspora’s account although the company can still receive donations from Flattr and is working on opening alternatives channels.
