[QUOTE="vuego, post: 1049983, member: 23741"] Den70, your worries are greatly exaggerated. It's not like Team MediaPortal survives only by stable donations. Team MediaPortal does not "have to get paid". It's also very unlikely that Bitcoin donations would become a major source of income in the near future. This has got to be a joke. When would any government ever step in and "save" an open source non-profit organization? How would this even work today? Could Team MediaPortal turn to a government to be "saved" if its donations would stop coming? No, what governments ever do is to promise that their fiat currency will always lose in value by X percent per year by inflation ([URL='http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-30/fed-keeps-85-billion-qe-pace-awaiting-signs-economy-picks-up.html']$85B/month[/URL] in the case of the Fed). People all over the world are looking for ways to spend their Bitcoin and it's currently going to organizations like [URL='http://www.gimp.org/donating/']GIMP[/URL], [URL='http://www.blender.org/foundation/donation-payment/']Blender[/URL], [URL='http://donate.libreoffice.org/']LibreOffice[/URL] and [URL='https://supporters.eff.org/donate']EFF[/URL]. MediaPortal would fit well among those projects in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
