As an interim easy run-around, they can stop by Unify (our credit union) and deposit cash or checks directly to our account.
Check the current hours for Unify, not sure they open right now.

serious question, can we share the routing number and account number of the
omni or sudoroom bank account publicly, to enable people to transfer money into
the account?  Or is this a security risk?  I don't know much about banking and
security (except that it's heavily encrusted with tradition dating back to the
pre-computer days) so I figured i'd just put the question out there.

We have people wanting to donate money to sudoroom (yes i have heard about
bitcoin thank you) but they're turned off by the tradition of giving 3% over to
a credit card processor or other MITM which is understandable.

But since we're in quarantimes, it's another reason to gather ways of gathering
money without making people leave their couch.

for reference:

god this is so stupid, apparently it is possible to rob someone's account from
those numbers, but it's also impossible to hide those numbers as they're
printed on every check you send out.  Wow great system.
