Note: The wiki user who created this page has not made any other edits, and there is no mention of bitcoin elsewhere on the wiki or mailing list. Absent any word on the subject from the treasurer or board members, it is probably best to assume that Noisebridge does '''not''' (yet) accept donations via bitcoin and this page is an instance of somebody attempting to set us up the bomb.
