/r/IndieDev had an idea and I'm thinking bitcoin

I use Bitcoin and I figure, the more people use it the better.

There's been an idea on r/IndieDev about starting our own little Mix Tape where we make a package of games for the reddit community.

Here's our mock-up of how that could look.

If any of you are familiar with game jams, this would work like a slow game jam, over a week or two to create games of higher quality than something like a 48 hour game jam would offer.

I didn't know any simpler and easier way to do things, so for donations I suggested Bitcoin!

The games will be donationware, or more specifically we thought it would be cool to have a donation jar where people can donate if they like what they see. They can naturally pick up the games for free as well.

I love Bitcoin. With Bitcoin we can make the process quick, international and transparent... perfect conditions for a community-run project, especially since our developers are from all over the world! The only problem is, I've noticed most of our developers are new to Bitcoin and I myself am unsure about how we should proceed.

I think a basic system where we have a user with a changetip account collect donations through u/changetip and then redistribute them through u/changetip back to the developers should be transparent for anyone to see, but I'm not sure.

I'd like to ask the community how I can improve this process and if there are perhaps better alternatives.

One of our developers is unsure about cryptocurrencies in general because he lost some money using them, how can I make this process more transparent and more secure so that all those worries go away?

I hope you guys like our little idea! Check us out if you're interested in this taking off!
