新闻自由基金会现接受多种加密货币的捐赠，包括比特币、比特币现金、以太坊、莱特币以及zcash。
第一笔巨大的加密货币捐赠来自于Mainframe，一个去中心化防审查的通信路由网络，于本周一向新闻自由基金会这一非营利性组织捐赠了1000以太坊。Mainframe以出格而闻名，今年三月，Mainframe通过在活动中免费赠送其新代币而躲过了对加密货币的初始审查。
该基金会于2013年就开始接受比特币，但美国在线支付平台Stripe对比特币的交易系统时常崩溃。 1月份，Stripe宣布不再支持比特币付款，基金会随即也停止接受比特币。但随着今天发布的新消息，基金会还推出了可用于直接接受捐赠的数字钱包。
非常感谢@Mainframe_HQ，他1000 ETH帮助启动了加密货币这种新的捐赠方式！我们很高兴@Mainframe_HQ与我们有共同的目标——在数字时代保护记者和举报人。 ——新闻自由基金会(@FreedomofPress) 2018年6月18日
接受加密货币捐赠一直是PayPal或Stripe等传统支付平台的替代方案，因为传统方式往往会受到更多监管。例如，2010年，PayPal暂停向维基解密提供捐款，理由是违反了其可接受的使用政策。

The Freedom of the Press Foundation now accepts
bitcoin cash, ether, and other cryptocurrencies
The Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) now accepts donations in multiple cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ether, litecoin, and zcash.
To mark its first major cryptocurrency gift, on Monday, the nonprofit accepted a 1,000-ether donation from Mainframe, a decentralized network for censorship resistance. Mainframe is known for its antics back in March, when it avoided regulatory scrutiny over initial coin offerings by giving away its new coin for free at a party.
The foundation has technically accepted bitcoin since 2013, but the Stripe integration for bitcoin was often broken. In January, after Stripe removed support for bitcoin, the FPF stopped accepting bitcoin as well. With the new announcement today, the FPF is also launching a new page that accepts cryptocurrencies directly from digital wallets.
A HUGE thank you to @Mainframe_HQ, who is helping kick off our cryptocurrency donation page with a donation of 1000 ETH! We are thrilled @Mainframe_HQ shares our goal of protecting journalists and whistleblowers in the digital age.

Accepting cryptocurrency donations has been an alternative to traditional payment platforms like PayPal or Stripe that might be subject to more regulation. For instance, in 2010, PayPal suspended donations to WikiLeaks, citing a violation to its acceptable use policy.
