Thanks for the feedback. I didn't mean to be shady (honest)!

The main problem is that the EFF doesn't have a publicly disclosed Eth address (they do accept BTC) so I just decided to support them by pledging to donate to them. Of course, nobody on the internet knows you're a dog, nor if you're honest ... :/

Good news is that atomic cross-chain swaps[1] will soon be possible, although even today you could presumably use ShapeShift or Changelly to convert from ETH to BTC while we all wait for BTC-ETH Lightning atomic cross-chain swaps to mature.
