Whilst a interesting move I would suggest offering donations via alternative means, PAYPAL, postal cheque even being two that spring to mind. Have a donate button that links to the options. Then you will get a better feel of how the donation model works instead of limiting to bitcoins. Which in some countries would be illegal I believe. Not sure what the geographic distrabution of bitcoins is, or if that information is mineable in any way beyond maybe memberlists from mining pools.
- zyxley 13y agoThis is the first thing I thought. Given the mild but noticeable hassle of converting USD to BTC, and the position of BTC in the eyes of many ("hang on to all of it, the value will keep going up!"), there may be potential impulse donators who just won't do it in Bitcoin. Actually, I wonder what sort of income there'd be with a "joke money" cryptocurrency with an associated tipping culture, like Dogecoin.
