    Soliciting donations and using fucking bitcoin of all things is mind blowing to me. How are you gonna get your money out without everyone tracing you?

          Just off the top of my head, they could be using the evidence of a person donating to a torrent group as probable cause to see what other illegal activity that person has been up to…

          I was mostly joking in response to why a torrent tracker would be asking for donations in a cryptocurrency that can be traced…

      Could you not do BTC to XMR then to w.e else after that? And if youre donating you should do XMR to BTC.

        Another problem with BTC is the extremely high transfer costs. Donating XMR directly makes smaller donations viable, while BTC is only attractive for large donors.
