Many Libertarians have begun using Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency. The Libertarian Party is now equipped to accept Bitcoin donations through the services of BitPay. Although BitPay cannot currently handle automatic recurring monthly donations, you may donate through this system as often as you wish.
IPR notes:
This came about due to a comment Andy made at IPR, and some LNC members (starting with Starchild) pushing it on the LNC list. The link above is included on the main page as part of a box that lists several suggested actions (Join or Renew, request info, donate, run for office, etc.) However, it has not been promoted (at least yet) as an LP blog post, press release or video. Also, as of now the regular join and renew pages do bot list bitcoin as a payment option.
LPHQ did send out an email blast about it, but it was part of a compilation of 6 articles in one email, and bitcoin was not in the title of the email.
Note: I check LP.org daily; however, this is the first time I have noticed the bitcoin link. I’m not sure how long it has been posted on the front page.
The Libertarian Party of Canada and Darryl Perry, a candidate for the 2016 LP presidential nomination, have received some press mileage for their acceptance of bitcoin donations, which they announced with press releases.
Glad the LP is doing this, but it does need to be promoted better.
My campaign web site has been accepting Bitcoin as well.
i am feeling generous so i am send a quarter… that would be two bits.
I found a ‘bent coin’ on the floor this morning. Should I send it to you?
