[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge-discuss March 30th Fundraiser? Yay or nay?

Noisebridge has numerous ways to donate. Usually there is a lockbox of some
kind to accept cash at the door. As you also know: Paypal, Bitcoin etc... I
suppose some kind of tally, or register could be kept for cash. If someone
is paranoid about funds at the door maybe there could be 2 people manning
the door at all times.

Other thoughts, creating a business like card with donation options could
be neat, so people without immediate means to donate will follow up later.
