Jimmy Wales Reveals Wikimedia is ‘Cautious’ About Accepting Bitcoin
14 April, 2014
Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, said in a Twitter conversation that Wikimedia, the non-profit foundation that operates the site, was “cautious” about the Internet encyclopaedia accepting bitcoin donations.
When Twitter user ‘Mister Schief’ asked Wales for an update on Wikimedia Foundation accepting bitcoin donations, Wales responded by saying that staff were looking into a lightweight implementation:
@mrschtief Staff are looking into lightweight implementation and will make recommendation to board as I understand it. We are cautious. 🙂
