It's not 2011 anymore, and it's not April's fools. I thought I'd practise the dark arts of necromancy on this classic thread, now that Wikipedia accepts Bitcoin donations, this time for real.

(Necromancy is never pretty so apologies to anyone who read the thread and thought it's still a joke)

As I can see wikimedia is accepting bitcoin. Does it mean we'll get to see the bitcoin logo when wikipedia will raise donation ?

I doubt it, it's just another one in a long list of possible payment options.

Also, don't forget Jimmy Wales is a libertarian.

So were the founders of Paypal.

They're probably accept bitcoin donations if you want to give it away.

bitcoin - the aerogel of money

This might happen sooner than we think. Wikipedia has a lot of things in common with Bitcoin, and I can imagine that some Wikipedia admins who still remember the poineering spirit from the early days of Wikipedia, will want to give the Bitcoin project a chance. Also, don't forget Jimmy Wales is a libertarian.

x4. I thought a while ago about suggesting a pledge to convince them, but figured we could never succeed in 4,000 years (they're ideologically inclined towards it, but they're too mainstream and large). When this happens for real, it will be HUGE.
