I created http://coinwidget.com/ , a customizable Bitcoin / Litecoin Donation button widget.

Version 2.0 is now available and includes these upgrades:

• Open Source (MIT)
• Litecoin Support
• Window Alignment
• Auto show window
• Callback support on window hide/show
• Adjustable number of decimal places

Please share any ideas or suggestions you may have to improve on this widget. Thanks for viewing!

very nice!

Seems like a pretty cool idea.
I've used a donate image + bitcoin link format to open up the wallet and fill in the address, so no fancy features like QR code or counters,  see my websites, either www.FreezingMoon.org or www.AncientBeast.com (at the very bottom).
Any chance for a bigger format widget like that? I might use it if so :)

Sure.  Here you go.

Your widget directs those who click to a javascript program on your website.

<script>
var CoinWidget_Config = {
   address : 'BITCOIN-WALLET-ADDRESS'
};
</script>
<script src="http://c.coinwidget.com/widget.js"></script>

What happens at that point is strictly determined by what the code does.  And we can examine that by typing the following into the command bar:

http://c.coinwidget.com/widget.js

which yields:

http://d1e4zb60eak76i.cloudfront.net/widget.js

Which could be A on 2013-01-01 and B on 2014-01-01.

So you redirect a person from a website  to coinwidget.com and then run a javascript to take money.

The person never knows what that javascript does and it could change, either by malicious intent or by your website being hijacked.

The simplest case would be to use a different QR code.

this is great! thank you!

Is it possible to post a link to your BTC tip widget? For example onto a site that does not allow you to post widgets.

Awesome job, just put this on my website!

this is super cool, i really like it. the only other one i've seen is coinbase's widget

This is very cool. Was looking for something like this but couldn't find any to desire my needs.
This however does, and I will place this on my website soon.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for providing a useful donate button (script and graphics).

I do believe the method offered for use could be made more secure for the site operator.  Currently, your site has full access to replace the bitcoin address.  And without HTTP everywhere, there is the opportunity for a MITM to alter the contents, substituting the bitcoin address with another.  Being that these are for donations, I might not even realize that this is happening.

The javascript could be revised so that it could site on my host, or in the same .html as my page.  That would be safer.

Hi,

Is there a possibility that you can make this for LTC as well? Thanks!

suggestion: the popup and textfield should be wide enough to show the full bitcoin address

hi,
sadly it does not work for me. if i paste the code, nothing shows up :/

Does this code work on Wordpress with any of WP widgets?

2nd that on any chance of a LTC version or option? thanks!

http://bitcointipper.appspot.com has LTC support, but it would be nice if this one would have it as well.

I suggestion you make the Bitcoin Donation Widget load faster.

Great work, I was looking for something like this!

Im also looking for a Bitcoin Donate Widget, but I don't like the idea of sending my donors to an third party site of the programmer running javascript.

The operator of the external site may be honest,  but it's still javascript running on a third party site which he controls and not you.

Thank you for the feedback! I have an update for you all:

Just tried to implement this widget on my site, however it doesn't show anything. Checking the error console this is what it says:

yep, its broken

Inputs.io buttons lets you pay without leaving the page with just a click :)

TradeFortress, I don't know whether to call you a whore or a salesman  :D

I've received an email telling me the widget has been fixed. Tho, I haven't tested it yet

Widget is non-working doesnt display anything on site...

This looks great! Do you promote it for merchants and organizations?

Very cool idea.

PM me if you wouldn't mind being featured on my site.

I just installed this on my website. Love it! So easy to use and so elegant!

Hiya,

We have forked your code to add support for Quark.  http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/comments/1xt8g4/developers_needed_can_someone_tweak_coinwidget_to/

If you want to commit it to your main CoinWidget.com options please go ahead.

Also, a Drupal module and a Wordpress plugin would be nice to have.
 

To those that say "this doesnt work" or "button doesnt display" have you tried again recently?

I am using it and it's displaying and appears to work perfectly.

Anyone else seeing any problems with CoinWidget? Seems fine to me, I'd like to know if it's working fine for others please. Thank you

I guess ill try this on my anime site if it works ill update.
