As most of you probably know Wikipedia runs on donation. I just found Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has bought 0.1 BTC at Coinbase. Hopefully Wikipedia may accept Bitcoin as medium of donation soon... https://twitter.com/jimmy_wales/status/441632741352681472_______________________________________________________________________________ _____________ www.CoinLearn.org - Learn and Earn Free Bitcoins |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Once they do I will resume donating to them. At this point there are enough worthwhile charitable organizations which DO accept Bitcoins and I have a finite amount of resources I can give away that there is no reason to not direct it towards those organizations which intelligently cut credit cards out of the process and improve the efficiency of their process by 2% or so.

I don't see any reason for them to not to accept BTCBTC as they are non-profitable organization, and totally supported by donations..! and if they start accepting bitcoins i'm sure they will get a good amount of $BTC$ from this community
May be he's just testing the waters for now..! lets see what happens in next few months..

That's a little good for them but a huge benefit for us. Wikipedia accepting Bitcoin means it will generate huge international acceptance. |

That's a little good for them but a huge benefit for us. Wikipedia accepting Bitcoin means it will generate huge international acceptance. So I'll call it win-win situation for both the communities..! they getting huge amounts in donations and bitcoins getting huge exposure..! |

I even sent a BCgram (I just coined that term, of which should be self-explanatory): https://blockchain.info/tx/db6e18713dd1d0dead70fba1957577bc48c211d106a1c2bdcd15a9a2d43cab60 |

That 2% is a lot. 2% of 100M is a lot. |

That 2% is a lot. 2% of 100M is a lot. It is a significant cost overhead they don't need As long as they convert it at fairly robust rate the donation more or less is the same |

The amount of idiots on this sub-forum is staggering. i think you are one of those who take wikipedia information for granted or believe the myth that anyone can edit a page without problems. Try checking the history of controversial subjects pages, the version that gets published is the version that some mods think are best, that's all. But even then I think you are too idiot to explain how wikipedia is not centralized information. |

You're right of course but if you don't present a case or any arguments it just sounds like a case of " not invented here syndrome", hence the troll calls. Back to the OP, Wikipedia accepting BTC would certainly raise the profile of crypto, we're talking about the 5th most popular site on the web, and certainly many non-tech types value it and donate IME. |
