Bitcoin Forum

Hey everybody,

nowadays already a lot of people integrate their bitcoin address into their websites in order to receive bitcoin donations. Which is great, beacuse it has never been easier to support them for what they are doing. However, the cryptical bitcoin-address doesn't really look good and you can easily overlook it.
So i decided to develop a donate bitcoins button, which you can easily integrate into your website.

You can find it here: http://bitcoinate.org (http://bitcoinate.org)

The advantages of this button are:
1. It looks good
2. It has a strong meaning and can easily be recognized, which means that you are more likely to get the support you deserve
3. It's more secure. When you click the button it opens a prompt which lets you easily copy the address and minimizes the risk of copying additional characters which are not part of the address (especially on cell phones!)
4. It doesn't depend on any services. It's just a simple tool which lets you have the full control.

Please make sure to check it out! Can't wait to hear your feedback!

Thanks a lot!

do you know about bitcoin: URIs ?
see here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0021
and here: http://ecdsa.org/bitcoin_URIs.html

I thought that this would be introduced soon, but I didn't know that it is already available.
Thanks a lot! I'll integrate it into bitcoinate! =)

it is not yet available for the official client gui (bitcoin-qt), except through drag and drop.
however, it should be available in the next release.

...and when its available, bitcoinate is the first to offer it.
