Title: Easiest way for a site to accept donations in Bitcoin? Post by: BitLucky on August 06, 2012, 12:32:19 PM I asked offliberty.com (http://www.offliberty.com) to accept Bitcoin donations and they want to know which service to use... what should I suggest?
So far I'm thinking: - easywallet.org (http://www.easywallet.org) and bitcoinmonitor.net (http://www.bitcoinmonitor.net) combo until they've acquired sufficient BTC for a visit to mtgox.com Title: Re: Easiest way for a site to accept donations in Bitcoin?

I would go to blockchain.info and create an account and address. Put the address on your page to let everyone know where to send donations. Then when it seemed there was enough to cash out I'd just send it to SpendBitcoins.com (JeremyWest) or one of the other similar fairly well known ones that cash out to Paypal or ACH/Bank. No need for all that MtGox, verification and exchange rigmarole. Alternately you could just use bitaddress.org to create an address and print the paper wallet. Then when it's time to cash out you can import the key into blockchain.info or MtGox. This way is just so super easy to do, no sign up, no accounts etc. until you actually have something to cash out.

That's why I said easywallet.org and bitcoinmonitor.net, mtgox it only needed if you receive a lot of donations / want to cash out.No need for all that MtGox, verification and exchange rigmarole. Blockchain.info is ok Title: Re: Easiest way for a site to accept donations in Bitcoin?
