Wikipedia starts accepting Bitcoin donations

Thats right theres now something else you can spend your magic beans on! I guess trading your cow for them doesnt seem so stupid after all, now that you can support such a worthy project.

According to the Coinbase Blog the company is helping the online encyclopaedia handle payments with all payments converted to US Dollars as soon as the transfer is made. Apparently in the first week, Wikipedia received over $140,000 in donations which is exactly the big sums Wikipedia needs to be raising if it wants to keep many of the important pages, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Oil online and accessible.

Expect to see Jimmy Waless face appealing for Bitcoin at the top of your browsers soon.
