They have that email as an auto-reply when bitcoin is mentionned for quite a while now I believe.

Maybe - but we can just write BTC or virtual currency or whatever.

The fact is that even with an auto-reply they will know there is a growing push for them to accept BTC, and this will only speed up the process.  They clearly have a team dedicated to fundraising and love $$ as much as the next non-profit.

Regardless, a 10 second e-mail does not hurt!

Wikipedia is making another push for donations, so I e-mailed them yesterday telling them that I would love to donate if they accepted bitcoin.  Here was the response:

Thanks for your email and for your suggestion. We are aware of bitcoin, and we will continue to monitor it with interest. Thanks again for taking the time to email us.

Sincerely,

Let's all send a quick e-mail to throw our support behind wikipedia's acceptance of virtual currency.  It takes a minute and could go a long way.  I plan on responding that I appreciate the consideration and will be making a small donation in the meantime.


What's the e-mail address?  I'll tell them I will donate $10 as soon as they accept it in bitcoin.

If everyone just takes a minute to e-mail this could be the biggest media pump yet!
