I've been asked if I accept donations for the freeware I make available over this website, but I don't. I don't have a legal entity to my name to accept any funds for work done, and frankly I don't even care for checking if and how I could get this in the clear with the tax services.
Today I read about http://www.bitcoin.org/ and this looks like exactly what I need. It's not that hard to set up, and the fact that no institute like a bank is envolved is really interesting. Even the 'funds' itself actually measures in 'mathematical solids in the digital world', so if I were to amass e certain amount of it, it would get financially interesting to check out these aforementioned tax issues (perhaps by an accountant...)
So, if anyone wants to wire me anything (even 0.01BTC just to check if it works) here's a bitcoin address:
