How to donate to Bitcoin Core Devs? And the lads that work on Electrum as well..

[WriteCode]

I would like to donate some coins to the Bitcoin Core Devs.
And to the Electrum crowd as well cuz it's my favorite wallet.
But I can't find any "Donate Here" links or addresses.

soooo.... how do I donate?

ps.
I'm a student, so I'm not planning to donate much.
But I'd like to send some money.

They're not open for any donation, but they're suggest to donate via the electrum server you're connected to. [1]

If you want to donate to Bitcoin developer, they have an address on below of the page 3E8ociqZa9mZUSwGdSmAEMAoAxBK3FNDcd [2]

For note: Bitcoin.com isn't an official Bitcoin site, the official is Bitcoin.org

As for Electrum, I don't think they have an "official" donation address/page.

For note: Bitcoin.com isn't an official Bitcoin site, the official is Bitcoin.org

Just a heads up: there's no such thing as an "official" Bitcoin website. Bitcoin.org is just the most linked and most reputable among the Bitcoin websites.

ah... I actually found that donation address but I taught it's for hosting Bitcoin.org website itself.
Didn't think it goes for the development of the Bitcoin Core.
If it does I'll use that one.

ps.
found the Electrum @ThomasV address in your signature.
hardcoded in the software, so I've everything I need. THX

Awesome.

I know... It's great, decentralization and all, isn't it??

Maybe try to contact them here https://bitcoincore.org/en/contact/ and maybe they accept some donations from people who want to give a token of appreciation to them.

Any other than that you must be careful since there are so many impersonators who want to deceive and exploit the money of people who want to show some kindness to the devs  so always check then verify the information's you see.

Your hunch is correct, it's for bitcoin.org, not for the development of the reference client.

For the hardcoded Electrum address, it's not meant to be a donation address.
It's for message signing purposes in case there's a new version to be announced to Electrum clients (for clients who turned it on).
Because the "version" (electrum.org/version) that Electrum provides have to be signed with either of those addresses for verification purposes.

If you need to contact ThomasV (ecdsa) to get a donation address, here's his bitcointalk profile: ThomasV / GitHub profile: github.com/ecdsa
