So, as some of you may know, the OpenBSD Foundation has accepted BitCoin
donations
for some time via BitPay.com

BitPay was convenient for us since they will sell the BTC donations
immediately, and
convert to Canadian Dollars.  We then periodically get bank transfers of
the balance,
and this works great.

Obviously, for money laundering rules, we do need to provide them with some
documentation to prove the foundation's legitimacy, which we have
repatedly, and
this used to be not a problem.

Lately they seem to have decided in spite of being in posession of
1) A copy of two of our personal passports
2) A copy of the Canadian Federal Incorporation documents for a not for
profit
3) A copy of the Electric Bill for the address of record
4) A copy of an invoice sent to the foundation at the address of record
5) A copy of a bank statement from the foundation

That they seem to be suspending our access to BitPay - this in spite of this
being the only documents they request from us and then they seem to say
they won't work - because apparently they don't understand Canada our
countries outside of the USA.

So in short, bitPay has always been a bit of a pain for us, but now seems
to be
unable to be used by us.

So, what I'm looking for is opinions on an online processor.  Yes I am
aware they
charge fees, I am looking for convenience, basically, the ability to put a
button
on the foundation donation page that links to them. which will take a
donation
in BTC, convert it for us, and get it to us at a Canadian bank.  What are
all you people using?

For a number of reasons, we do *not* want to hold a bitCoin wallet
ourselves, and
be in the business of selling bitcoins, so please don't suggest this, and
No, we can't
have a bank account outside of Canada, so please don't suggest that either
:)
