We did consider adding bitcoin support, but opted to refrain for now because:

- we did not identify a straightforward way to convert bitcoins to cash in borrower currencies

- it seemed from our informal research that supporting bitcoin has not resulted in many new supporters for most nonprofits that have tried it

- supporting another payment method would add overhead weight to our organization

- so few of our lenders use bitcoin that we estimated the savings in transfer fees wouldn't be worth introducing more complication in our payment options

We're keeping an eye on bitcoin and may begin supporting it if these conditions change.
