Some of you might already have heard of this venture, but I am fairly impressed and wanted to share with you:

The concept has many applications when you start to think about it, but in simple terms it allows for 100% p2p donations for "all" content creators on the web.

Here's some links for more info:

In my opinion this is really fantastic work from  Leo Campbell, Chris Ellis, Ksenya Serova, Thomas Hunt, David Bailey & Theo Goodman - the project is entirely open-source/non-profit and appeals to me because of it's altruistic use of BTC's protocol.

Now Changetip is cool too - however they are a "middle-man" in some respects and may encounter some client data protection issues in the future,,, what do you guys think??


Anyway I would urge the BTC community on here to take and look at this project and give support if you dig - cheers folks
