There are no stupid questions, cryptocurrency is not intuitive in many ways :)
Steps on mobile:
1. Open iPhone / Coinbase app
2. Scan QR Code
3. Input amount
4. Press send
Similar process on desktop, but probably with a copy/paste code instead of QR code.
Realistically i could only see myself doing this if it was less than 3 clicks and a grand total of about 30 seconds of time.
It's definitely less than 30 seconds as long as your iPhone is across the room and/or you have coinbase.
> Also, this might go against what you are trying to do, but would it be possible to maybe keep a counter of how many of these "ads" were blocked (only on the client) and maybe update the suggested donation based on that?
Yes, data and testing of conversion percentages and unit economics is going to be important if this ever takes off.
> I personally might be more willing to donate if i saw "You've blocked 384 ads on this site" or something like "you've visited this page 26 times over the last month" and an updated suggested donation to match the usage.
That's a great idea! I'll have to add this copy to the 'to test' list!
- Ntrails 11y agoI'd focus on how much value I've got out of the site (26 visits worth - holy cow!!11!!!1!) rather than how many god awful adverts I've avoided - which is more likely to make me woot softly for adblock and move on.
