It's hard for Tor to pass audit requirements and accept bitcoin.
Immediate conversion to US dollars is one way of achieving this outcome.
But I agree, we could switch to another provider that allows donors to
donate bitcoin, and pays out in US dollars (and doesn't use CloudFlare, or
otherwise block Tor).
Do you know of any?
