[QUOTE="findftp, post: 995053, member: 115630"] I think it comes down to something being valuable enough (for the receiver) for being accepted for donation. If your TV would be a state of the art FullHD trueHD 3D tv, the developers would not hesitate to accept it for testing. If it was an old crappy 10" CRT, never mind. The same counts for gold, which is also no legal currency (anymore, but yet to become) No one would refuse it for donation if quantity is big enough. In this analogy you can also place bitcoins since they are considered valuable by thousands of people and are exchangeable by something else (goods, services or fiat money) Since mediaportal is software and doesn't have anything to do with financial exercises I can understand the choice for USD as the easiest medium of interchange. On the other hand, free software should not necessarily mean non-profit software and a financial manager could increase revenue from donations and boost the development with it (by accepting all kinds of donations and understand the value of them). edit: Why does my message have to be approved?
