I'm looking for a quite simple bitcoin-based donation service that would keep track of the $USD sent to a particular address/wallet and display that on a private url page.

Does anyone know if such a site exists?

I don't think website with such a service exist. Through Blockchain its possible to see the ongoing transactions, but its not possible to segregate whether that transaction is a donation or for other needs.

it is a pretty simple code that anybody who is familiar with programming such as PHP can do for you.

i don't know any exact service that provides what you exactly want but for now you can use the widgets such as the one blockr.io provides in their donation section. it has  a little field that displays the amount received and you can put a target.

there is also btc-priceimg.herokuapp.com that can display the balance and price equivalent.

Its hard to determine if the sent bitcoin is a transaction made purely for donation. But if you really wanted that then you should use blockchain.info wallets or coins.ph wallets. Sending bitcoin through that sites allows you to place a description as to what purpose is the transaction and so you may place for donation in the box. But if you want to monitor all donation transactions then the best thing is to ask the owner of the site and pay them to create additional service for donation purposes.

As said by above posters there is no such site. But there is a easy way to set this up, just create a address for only the purpose of donation, then any bitcoin sent to that address would be visible on the blockchain and you can keep track of it via any of the block explorers.

Hi have you seen the site btcsatoshi.com? At the upper right corner of their has a donation button which displays the current donation for that particular bitcoin address.

Although it has no progressbar atleast the donations are transparent. It also display the number of donations for that BTC address.

Anyway it looks free and powered by the site coinwidget.com . Give it a try

Don't you think looking at https://blockchain.info/address/yourbitcoinaddress will be enough for what you need? Just click on bitcoin amount it will be converted into USD. They will display both total received amount and current balance in USD depending upon current bitcoin value.

Looks like this is enough but they will display total received amount in bitcoin rather than in USD like OP have asked.

first you can get total balance of the address here
https://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/<insert address>
this will give you balance in satoshis.

so divide it by 100,000,000 to get how many bitcoin you have

and then you can get the dollar price of a whole bitcoin
https://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice

and do the math to get dollar value of balance

balance * price

then you do the math of your target

(100 / target) * dollar balance

and then use any common website progress bar code for the code that the front end (user) will see

i just found a cool tool and i thought i share it here, it may not be what you want though. since it is used for contribution to open-source projects: https://tip4commit.com/
Dogecoin uses this: https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin you can see the small image under the Icon.
also other projects using it: https://tip4commit.com/projects


you do realize that when you accept a donation through a bitcoin address then there is nothing private about it.

he may mean display his address publicly but have a private admin page to se progress.

or he may mean private as in personal.. meaning not hosted on some service people need to visit. but his own personal site

If the address is used only for donations, all transactions to that address will be donations.
