Get charity BTC addresses #37

Open HansHauge opened 8 years ago

HansHauge commented 8 years ago

Find some charities that accept bitcoin and get their addresses. How does this work, if they have a wallet we request a payment address and it's new each time?

Looks like we will have to use Bitpay to donate to Red Cross, but they are not charging a fee.

I need to check if we can do this through their API.

I've emailed Bitpay about donating to Red Cross via their donation page. It looks like there is no API currently and now I am wondering if the form you fill out has some legal implications, IE, do they track their donors? Do they even accept anonymous donations (in bitcoin)? I have an ongoing email chain with Bitpay going.
