Torservers was one of the first to accept Bitcoin, now finally Tor follows (via Bitpay): https://blog.torproject.org/blog/announcement-tor-project-now-accepting-bitcoin-donations

Please understand that Tor is not as well-funded as many people think. It is crucial for a lot of activities online. Most of you will know it:

Quote
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.

Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location.

So, you can now donate to Tor to strengthen development, and to us (Torservers) to strengthen the Tor network itself. Whoohoo!
