Strange... I couldn't find the Bitcoin adress on their website.
That's great news anderxander!
Did you correspond with anyone at the project to make that happen?
If so, share your experience, maybe it will be helpful for understanding how to approach other organizations.

Yes I did correspond with them. I started a thread on their forum about Bitcoins and someone put me in contact with their web person. He took very well to the idea and he and I discussed at length about how to get bitcoin donations to them. We also discussed the possibility of having the Factor E Farm accept bitcoins for their open source, decentralized manufacturing technologies. We need to show a lot of support for the project. It could open a lot of doors if they accept bitcoin for manufacturing equip.!!
This is great news! I will donate!!

The Global Village Construction Kit is an amazing idea along with Reprap.
Yeah spread the word. These guys need bitcoin donations fast.
Exactly.
I have actually been in contact with their webmaster. They are working on setting up a way to accept bitcoin donations and are exploring the possibility of selling their construction kit for bitcoins. Could you imagine?

For the bitcoin millionares here: Instead of buying a house, what about buying a machine to make a house?
Factor-e-Farm produces earth brick (CEB) making machines
Add some cheap piece of land and a summers worth of work to make a house.
I'm sure they would accept a deal for payment with bitcoins...

An open source civilization should really make use of bitcoins ;-)
Lets do it and get them some coins.
Would anyone be interested in a project to start incorporating and connecting these two projects together? I have already contacted them about working on accepting bitcoins for donations. Still waiting to hear back.
I recently discovered opensourceecology and I find that project really awesome. I subbed a couple videos in italian, they are really impressive, I recommend you to take a look at least to the first one:

I think what these guys are doing is amazing.
I think bitcoin donations will help in bridging some of their financial issues and also selling their technology in bitcoins or some combination of bitcoins and dollars could draw a lot of interest and move things along. Its dencentralized industry. It needs a dencentralized currency.
Another synergy between the two I see is an open data center so to speak. An off the grid data center that could decouple bitcoin from the dollar and have it stand on its own for the open source community.
