Is Guerrilla mail good for a Bitcoin campaign?
Hi
I discovered guerrilla mail tonight, and wonder how many people use it for a bitcoin campaign?
I looked at this outline page here
SCROLL WAY DOWN HALF TO
5. Buy/Sell Bitcoins in Cash
It seems ideal to me. I link it with my yahoo email. I think it last forever, but your emails disappear after an hour.
Will miscreants be able to swipe my BitCoins away?
Can they unravel it to find my identity? The FBI? I just want to have a bag for anonymous BTC donations.
I understand I can put an alias as my owner name?
Thomas Alva Edison? Davie Crockett? Scrotie Mac Boogerballs Puke Skywalker?
How does the IRS find out?
I'm not interested in earning outside of the law. Will bitcoins become worthless?
Thanks

Will bitcoins become worthless?
The value is simply based on the demand vs supply. They will only become worthless if people stop wanting to buy them or accept them. This could happen quickly if the technology failed (eg the cryptography was broken and unable to be fixed), or more slowly if something better came along that everybody preferred to use (it would take ages for everybody to switch over, unless perhaps there was something highly objectionable about using Bitcoin, such as a complete lack of trust in it).
In the very long term it seems reasonably likely Bitcoin won't be the preferred cryptocurrency, given the sheer number of alternatives, but even then the value may remain higher than it is now; I consider it impossible to predict.

Note that if you were to accept payments only with Bitcoin, you limit your potential customer base to rather a small proportion of people. Given the legal nature of the project, you would likely be better to look for a service that offers some anonymity but accepts more standard payment methods.

I want to sign off confirming that I never had/have any intention to do anything nefarious, just contribution payments for a controversial art vid I am thinking of making, but was simply curious about confidentiality. But I agree. It's probably not worth it.
