Offer crypto donations

Just because why not :)

We need to find an online service that accepts non-profit accounts, supports different currencies and can transfer to a SEPA bank account for not too big fees...

Good idea!

Hm. I suggest to just use SouthXChange and whenever you want to sell, you have a price. This also means that you do not offend the donor who may have meant to allow FreeCAD to benefit from the growth of some favority currency. Also, the crypto-donations work in two directions, you may have supporters of FreeCAD who want to make a better price than what you get on SouthXChange, so you may want ask the community first.

I would open a coinbase account for now, so we can start accepting coins, then we see what next...

It looks like we now accept Crypto donations at OpenCollective: https://opencollective.com/freecad/donate/crypto

Does that close this issue?

I guess opencollective took it down? I just tried to donate and wasn't able to.

It would be worth just creating a cold wallet and putting a QR code on the donation page, if nothing else. Preferably monero, but bitcoin would be good, too.
