[Noisebridge-discuss] catcheth thou up with ye olde paypal subscription!

[Patrick Keys]

locked plexiglass box for donations was discussed at last week's 
meeting, which sounds like a good idea.

anonymous locker dead drops for donations of giant stacks of unmarked 
bills has also been discussed. keeping keys and aliens seems to be the 
issues.

"coin slot" spiral funnels, along with the other plastic containers 
floating around, kinda undermine the noisebridge need for money. single 
secure dropbox for donations might be more effective.
