+=========
+
+As with all Free software, the power is less in the finances and more in the
+collective efforts.  I really appreciate every pull request and bug report
+offered up by Paperless' users, so please keep that stuff coming.  If however,
+you're not one for coding/design/documentation, and would like to contribute
+financially, I won't say no ;-)
+
+Unfortunately, I can't find a good way to do donations on GitHub that doesn't
+involve PayPal (I *really* hate PayPal) so all I've got at present is Bitcoin.
+So, if you'd like to donate some coin to feed my doughnut habit, by all means
+use `the magic of bitcoins`_ while they're still around.
