The Internet Archive To Pay Salaries Partly In Bitcoin, Requests Donations

hypnosec writes "Bitcoin is gaining popularity among mainstream sites lately and the latest to adopt the digital currency as a medium of donations and payments is the Internet Archive. Ready to accept donation in the form of Bitcoin, the Internet Archive announced that it wants to do so to pay some part of employees' salaries, if they choose to, in Bitcoin. The Archive, known for its storage of digital documents (especially the previous version of webpages), is looking to start part salary payments in Bitcoin by April 2013 if everything goes well."

No, he's not. Anyone with bitcoins knows that they need real money as well. So any bitloon would also have some other way to pay, or they aren't eating tonight.

Though does anyone else find it funny that this story is almost all ACs? What, all the people with an opinion on bitcoin are so cowardly they fear for their karma? Bitcoins are not at the point where anyone refusing to take them is missing out on anything.
