Ok, but who´s trustworthy? My job is to make (pirate pr) and to generate
money and I really do not prefer to store and manage this money also,
even if it would be only a few hundred bucks in Phase1. 
Some non-party pirates are evaluating the possibilities to establish a
kind of int. pirate bank e.g. with the cyclos software from strohalm.nl
And as far as I know there is only one biq question left to resolve
before this project can be emerged: 

wtf is trustworthy enough to do it? 

Imho only a decentralized solution seems to be really authentic for us
and what we stand for. Your opinions?

As a workaround the collected money (through merchandise, fund raising,
lottery etc.) will be transfered as a "aimed spending" to one or more
established european pp(s) with bank account(s) for further handling
depending on the total amount. That does not mean that pp´s are
generally trustworthy, but it is imho the only practicable and
democratic controlled solution till june 10th, isn´t it?
We should talk about it in vienna.

Of course we will. ;-) The mag will be cc licensed and the big goal is
to get it internationalized by local pirate translators and make it
worldwide available in "hardware" through distributed printing in Phase
2 or 3.
