i dont know what to think, that sounds really strange. btw was always $ pricing and i dont know why, i think devs would not like this decision maybe we will see some news soon because of that  They sure did a good job of making the Bitcoin donation link as inconspicuous as possible.
jeje, good point, they was thinking about it since the beginning, yes? i was thinking mozilla was more cool than others, but.... |

Well they did accept it, but now they seem not so keen. Fuck 'em I say. If they don't want my coins then I'll just keep them. |

Perhaps dial back the anger a bit so you can focus on what's being said. That way you won't waste your time being angry at the things that you only imagine to be true. Mozilla clearly still accepts bitcoin donations. The donation page is right here: https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/content/give-bitcoin/ |

Didn't check the link all that carefully, but isn't it likely that the number of visitors rose due to discussion here, reddit, etc?
A sudden influx of window shoppers would drop the donation/visitor metric.

Hiding the Donate by Bitcoin page by 3 link clicks sure doesn't help things. Make it simpler to Donate than more difficult by sticking it on the home page. Of course it's donation amounts are going to be less if it's so hard to do. Mozilla for an open source software company is ass retarded (no offense to the ass retarded people). Look at Tor Project's donate on their website, that's how it's done properly: https://www.torproject.org/donate/donate.html.en |

They ran two nearly identical donation pages simultaneously. Half of the visitors were shown one page (without the small "Donate with Bitcoin" link at the bottom), the other half of the visitors were shown the other page (with the small "Donate with Bitcoin" link at the bottom). So, if they had a "sudden influx of window shoppers", that should have effected both pages equally. Instead, the page that had the "Donate with Bitcoin" link at the bottom resulted in $0.07 less donated per visitor. They will get roughly two million more visitors before the campaign concludes on December 31st — which means adding “Donate with Bitcoin” would reduce income by about $140,000 |

When it comes to donations, apparently, the more payment options you have the less money you make...
I wonder if that is because it makes you look more greedy. |

Lets take a step back and think about why are we sending anything to Mozilla in the first place. I feel like their browser is not fantastic, and the other software they have made has been less than impressive. I'll donate Bitcoin to worthy causes; charities, good projects, not just because they are specifically accepting Bitcoin. |

Wikipedia also said more options reduces donations.

Very bad effort. Added as if they were embarrassed by it and now removed it. I am never going to donate anything to them.

Why can't they just post a BTC address and say "donate here"? No clicks necessary.
Could it be that they don't want to make their donations public?

That seems paradoxical, at the same time it makes me sad that happened to Mozilla revenue The duration was quite short though but I guess everyday hurts if its on average 7 cents per each day done But I guess in advertising too many choices on one page reduces donations interesting. That said correlation will be difficult now I imagine a spike in donations to coincide with holiday giving so the charts are going to have a bias ... |

There is of course, a simple and logical explanation;
Person lands on page intending to donate.
Finds option for Bitcoin, asks "what the hell is Bitcoin?"
Throws it into Google, reads up a bit
Spends next few weeks trying to get their head around the idea of Bitcoin.
Remembers they were going to donate to Mozilla half way through their sauna session.
Decides too naked to donate now. Lies back and dreams of all the things they could do with a million Bitcoins.
Never remembers to donate again...

MOzilla is yet another perfect example of people using bitcins who do not understand them, do not know what they are, and use it as another "oh we can make oney doing this lets just put it on there" Bitcoins attracts every get rich quick schemer, scammer con artist in the internet. I looked at the link and noticed again another idiot company basing the whole BTC division on USD. I would rather seen how many Bitcoins they collected, not what the USD value was. becasue f they made some good BTC they can hold them and turn that 1,600 to 5000. ALSO did anyone else notice the chart. They said they only made 1600 dollars in 3 days but the chart tells a different story. based on the chart they made 3200 dollars or more. maybe I am missing something i dont know. I wish people would stop dumping these coins. Thats all we have is money hungry dupers nothing more. AND FYI the bitcoin industry donates very little, so many peole have been scammed conned stolen from the community just does not support each other enough much less outsiders of bitcoins. It is sad. I wish the bitcoin community was like the Biker community we would all be rich  I know I have been there and needed help and got none |

I wonder if that is because it makes you look more greedy. No, it's most likely because less is more. Too many options make people think. And thinking is just going to be a barrier to following through with the donation. People need only two options. Donate or don't. Only a certain percentage of people who hit the donate page follow through and actually donate. Once someone goes to that page, the less distractions the better, you just want them to convert. This is true for order pages in general, not just donations. Although its not true 100% of the time . everything depends on variables and must be tested. As someone pointed out, some people might see bitcoin and then start researching it. All we know is that the way they set up their page dropped overall response. |
