Would you accept virtual currency like Bitcoin as Payment?

What are your views on using virtual currency like http://www.bitcoin.org/ , Linden dollars from Second life, World of Warcraft Gold, or Online Gift Cards like Amazon or Go Daddy Gift cards as a payment method for buying premium memberships or donations.

As long as I can easily sell off or exchange Bitcoin, FP Cash, Second Life's Linden dollars, WoW Gold, and Gift cards for Canadian or US dollars, or use them to buy stuff I need like prizes, web hosting, or domain names I would not have a problem with accepting virtual currencies for payment for someone who wants to buy a premium forum membership, or donate to the forum.

I agree. 🙂 Exactly how I would do it too.

I've often accepted various forms of forum cash as payment and will continue to do so in the future.

As long as I can spend those cash in something like:
domains.
Then I'm fine with it 😛

It would depend on what I was selling really, if it was a useless old domain name I would accept forum cash on a forum I am active on such as FP.

If it was something like a nice website I would accept Paypal, Alertpay, Liberty Reserve, Western Union, Egold, Ukash. I wouldn't accept anything else as I do not know about it and do not know where I can spend it.
