I genuinely don’t mean to be snarky but I don’t think the method of soliciting donations is at all relevant here. It sounds like you would have otherwise been fine if he handed out a hat and asked for cash in USD.
- lmm 2y agoAre they wrong? Passing around a hat for USD might be unprofessional but it's a lot more open and honest.
- kelnos 2y agoHow so? The inappropriate act in question is soliciting donations; the method to transfer the money for those donations is immaterial. I have a dim view of cryptocurrency in general, but I don't see how that fact of it is relevant.
- lmm 2y agoI think soliciting donations via something hidden/obscure/confusing is a lot more dubious than soliciting them openly. And the very act of using crypto suggests that you're doing something that you know is wrong.
- superb_dev 2y agoCrypto has a bad reputation, it makes sense to be more upset about someone soliciting donations in crypto over USD. Especially in a branded product
- mouse_ 2y agoI mean... it makes sense that internet people would be interested in donations by mean of internet currency.
- bawolff 2y agoI think crypto has a certain scummy reputation that really doesn't help the situation. However i would feel the same way if they put a paypal link. If the person just passed a hat, i think that would be fine (albeit weird and cringe) because the objectionable part was sneaking it into the badge. Asking for mony outside of the badge would not raise the same concerns with me.
