I like the version of the letter that you posted, fresno.  It says all that's necessary.  I have a few minor edits.


Oh yeah, the letter...

Dear Electronic Frontier Foundation,

The Bitcoin community appreciates your efforts protecting Internet freedom, and keeping the Internet free of unneeded regulatory intervention.

Today's Bitcoin community comprises approximately N enterprises and indiviuals, using a new open-source P2P cryptocurrency system called Bitcoins that is published under the MIT license.

Several members of our community have asked to donate Bitcoins to your Foundation, with xxx Bitcoins being pledged so far. We are certain that you will receive many more in individual donations if you will set up an EFF Bitcoin node.

Warmest regards,

The Bitcoin Community.


I think the term "cryptocurrency" will come back to bite us someday, but Satoshi has already used it publicly, it is a coined word with no prior usage, and it works.

Satoshi may have coined "cryptocurrency", and "crypto currency" has been in use for decades.
