For some reason the [tor donation page] doesn't want your bitcoins.
<snip>
Instead of donating bitcoins to Tor, please consider a donation to
Torservers.net <https://www.torservers.net/donate.html>,
NoiseTor<http://noisetor.net/#bitcoin>,
orTails <https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/donate/#bitcoin> which will
turn your bitcoin donation into a faster, larger Tor Network for all.
