Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

Now that some years have passed, you may reconsider this.

Every time a make a donation to you I feel a bit sad for the percentage Paypal takes.

Reasons to accept Bitcoin for donations:
Bitcoin has become more stable over time.
Lower transactons fees, and the user pays them, you get all the money he wanted to donate to you.
Easy to exchange for official money by now, for example via localbitcoins
And maybe most important:
The moment I spot a Bitcoin address on the download page, I will use it ;)

Bitcoin's just a fad.
I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

As was the DM and many other currencies.
I do not want to discuss over the long-term success of Bitcoin here, it does not matter for the case.
At the moment Bitcoin is money, is convenient and has clear advantages over Paypal. Also the volatility has declined and is not that important when accepting donations.

If Bitcoin vanishes later, It will be no problem to remove the donation address.
