Title: Why the P2P Foundation is paying its salaries in Bitcoin Post by: evoorhees on March 28, 2012, 01:03:55 AM "It is to demonstrate our commitment to such developments, that we will now pay our collaborators in a mix of currencies, and part of it will be in Bitcoin. The first of the members of the P2P Foundation to be paid Bitcoin honoraries is our in-house researcher Nicolás Mendoza. This first income was payed 50% in Bitcoin, and we are committed to offer all of our cooperators the possibility to receive Bitcoin payments at their convenience."

They went from not accepting Bitcoin donations to paying salaries with them?
[edit] I was thinking of the EFF. Title: Re: Why the P2P Foundation is paying its salaries in Bitcoin Post by: finway on March 28, 2012, 03:07:11 AM Why not pay in Flattr? they like it more.

Everyone should send a donation when the site comes back - it's a great cause and very nicely written blog post about Bitcoin and p2p - everyone who has pledged in the kickstarters should donate here as well - they are doing far more than just accepting donations in bitcoin - do it! Title: Re: Why the P2P Foundation is paying its salaries in Bitcoin Post by: Cusipzzz on March 29, 2012, 01:14:19 AM Looks like the site is back up - go and read the post and donate to the address (it's on the blog post now)...Gogo.
