Pedro News - Pedro retires & Bitcoin ATMs and Donations

[Dred]

After a longer period of detachment from the project, it's becoming official. Pedro retired to Site Friend. Make sure to say a proper Thank you for all his work in this thread. And let him have his rest as some of you still bombard the poor guy with staff related nonsense. Bombard... ehm... Palinus instead!

With kind help from Luckymudster, we've been researching an easy way to donate using cash (yes, cash).
No knowledge of Bitcoin, or even having a wallet, is required.

1. Find a Bitcoin ATM near you, either find it via Bitcoin ATM Map – Find Bitcoin ATM, Online Rates or google it
2. Ask DarkMagic for a QR code-encoded Bitcoin address. It will look like this https://i.imgur.com/zw8ZicB.png
3. Be able to copy the file to your phone, and display it like this https://i.imgur.com/mGw1hyf.jpg.
   Alternatively: You can even print out the code on paper. The point is for the ATM to be able to read it.
4. Go to the ATM, give it cash, when prompted, show the QR code to it. Done.
   An example video how this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=-zeMLcf66Y8
5. The ATM will take your cash and send Bitcoin directly to us (i.e. to the address you gave it).
