<br /> tiberiu, is there a way we can transfer the money to emulartorman's<br /> relative?<br /> <br /> emulatorman, is there some tax exemption for foundations or ngo in<br /> uruguay? is there a free software friendly org that can help us? i<br /> think ceata would be able to transfer the money if it's received by an<br /> entity instead of a natural person, am i right?</blockquote>

<br /> I already started discussing solutions with emulatorman and fauno, but<br /> this certainly is a very good (if not best) solution. How come it's so<br /> cheap at Adafruit? Comparing to Ebay, it's half the price. Maybe<br /> shipping is not gratis?<br /> <br /> As a separate note, for future, BTC should also be converted to RON and<br /> deposited in Parabola's fund at Ceata, if we want to be 100% legal. I<br /> realize it's not practical and anti-anarchist. Please let me know what<br /> you think about the issue.</div>

<p>Quite a few places have the Beaglebone Black between 50 & 60 USD [1] [2] [3] [4], a few even have free shipping in that range, Adafruit's shipping for that product is not gratis. I think the markup on these can get quite extreme if you purchase them locally after it was subjected to VAT / import tariffs. I donated the equivalent of $200 figuring while the frugal option is preferred, if a higher priced option is more practical & less likely to get held in customs I'd rather have the high assurance. Don't want to have to purchase twice! :)</p>
<p>On the BTC issue, don't want any legal headaches for anyone. Converting & depositing the funds should still be enough to cover the purchase, even if it isn't as practical. I leave that choice up to the wallet owner. Technically though, when you checkout with bitcoin at Adafruit, it's being converted to USD based on market rate. Not sure how it will be reflected on the receipt, but if it shows USD value, would that help from an accounting perspective or no because the originating currency was bitcoin? </p>
