Can someone signal boost this on bitcointalk or other bitcoin communities? They are huge users of PGP. I don't have accounts on any of those sites or I'd do it myself.

I have spread the word in bitmessage chans. People there are certainly concerned about privacy and love free software.

Thanks for tracking this down, just donated $100 and probably wouldn't have bothered without a BTC address. :)

Is this address verifiable on the GPG site?

See: https://gnupg.org/donate/index.html

The Wau Holland Stiftung takes the BTC and pays it out to the GnuPG project. Its a foundation that has its roots in the CCC and supports all kind of open source and/or hactivists projects.

Thanks. Way easier to donate 0.5 bitcoin than it is USD.
