Title: Support Armory through fee-matching
Post by: Mastergerund on June 29, 2013, 06:39:21 PM
I have been using and enjoying Armory, but I can't make donations anywhere close to the 1 BTC suggested by the software if you click "Donate to Armory Developers!" button.  Instead, each time I make a spend, I send Armory an amount that matches the fee amount. Miners get a fee, client gets a fee. This requires extra steps each time I make a spend.

I have a development suggestion which could make this more widespread. Include a config option that can be toggled on or off which automatically adds a donation to each transaction which matches the transaction fees. It adds a tiny amount to each transaction, but could significantly improve donations made for Armory development. I trust that would encourage more development.

This is the least invasive way I can think of to make regular donations easy and affordable.

I really like this idea.

Even better would be a configurable list of donation addresses.

That is a great idea!

And because the idea of multi-donation fee matching is so great I donate 1 BTC to Armory. Bitstamp doesen't give me transaction ID, damn. At least not on the Web-UI. Armory is currently a bit borderline on my 4gb system. Anyhow, keep up the good work and add multi-donation fee matching to the customer requirements/wishlist. I know its way down on the priority list.
