100btc Bounty for a "Donate Bitcoin" button .

[Andrew Bitcoiner]

As the owner of http://bitcashretail.com/ I believe it makes the perfect bitcoin donation/purchase button solution out there.

its important to take into consideration the great mass of people who might recoil in horror from a bitcoin address or the thought of anything more than copy and paste html code. Paypal is widely used for these very reasons.

BTC is anonymous. Paypal's not.  If someone recoils in horror at a bitcoin address then how would they have BTC? It's something that you get used to quickly and eventually it's trivial.

Are you saying you want traceable donations? Seems to be against what eff is supposedly about. I do have my doubts and feel like eff is yet another controlled-opposition. Of course you wouldn't be privy to that info as only the eff pupper masters would know meanwhile keeping staffers  shiny and happy.

I tried to figure out what the most portable Javascript way of doing a "Donate" button this is and wrote an article about it, here you go:
http://leo.bogert.de/2012/02/22/simple-bitcoin-donate-button/

The code which can be copied directly from my article into your HTML should work with any browser: It uses no 3rd party libraries, and no fancy modern JS functions.

While it does not fully wire in to the Bitcoin-client, it is IMHO currently the only solution which will work for almost everyone.
The Bitcoin client which supports the bitcoin:// address format might not be widespread enough to use it yet.
Also, I remember from development of other apps which use custom addresses that its quite difficult to get the protocol registration working for all browsers which a user has installed.

I'm aware that it is not fully what was requested here. HOWEVER sometimes the most simple solutions are the best IMHO. So I'll just try to claim the bounty and see what happens

This thread is still in the top 3 google search results for "donate bitcoin button" so IMHO it should be filled with useful information

You can register a bitcoin account on Online-TipJar.com and get a button (tipjar), or use any image.

Great job
I am thinking of creating a tip jar search engine: so that one could give donations to people using whatever account that they have, yours, mine, youtipit, or flattr.
