I would love to donate to Soulseek or get Privileges but i dont want to sponsor Paypal and im sure many users cant even use Paypal in their countries.

I ask the Soulseek team to consider adding support or Bitcoin.

That's definitely an option we wouldn't mind having, as well as maybe Dwolla too. The biggest problem is writing the server scripts that will automate converting donations to privileges. Each system has its own notification system, so getting each one to work is quite complicated. We'd like to do this some day, but finding the time for it is going to be difficult what with me having to work full-time right now.

... setting up an donation address to start with, and use the donated funds to hire a coder for the required scripts??

Please add a Bitcoin address on the Donate page, i will be the first to send.

You've already got the script that will send a user to a personalized page for donation ("You are currently logged in as: "). Have you considered adding a Coinbase or Bitpay payment portal to that page? It sends you the confirmation when the user has paid. I've been wanting to donate using bitcoin for a while now.
