This site and others like it are cluttered with people asking for donations and that's all good. But it's all PayPal. Why no bitcoins?



Bitcoins would fit in perfect with this type of developer community and its users. It is a open source currency after all. It can be sent to someone like an email.





For those who don't know what bitcoins are - - - - - - - - >



It is the world's first cryptocurrency. This creates a peer to peer payment network over the Internet based on open source software which facilitates transaction with its own currency. The P2P network verifies the transactions and makes sure it adheres to the rules. Because of this P2P network it is a decentralized currency. There is no central bank like with the dollar. The software says that there will only be a maximum of 21 million bitcoins in existence. The network adheres to this rule because it is P2P, the only way it can be changed is if the Marjory of the network agrees with it.



This all means transactions go directly from buyer to seller near instantly over the internet. This means there are no financial institutions in the middle (like PayPal) which take their cut and have the ability to refuse the transaction.



This is all open source software, it is developed by the community at large. This is world changing software! Shouldn't that fit right in with a software community like this?



Please feel free to ask questions. I'll be more than glade to answer them.
