Why reject tiny donations? Why not just stock them up and then send multiple donations in a single transaction?


I'm planning on lowering it to about 0.01. but I don't want it to be spammed so to speak with miniature donations.


Hmm, with bitcoin, how is this a problem?


transaction fees?


Are rarely necessary except for larger payments.


@jerguismi Fair Point. I will consider removing it. Thanks for the Feedback.


So is the intention to generate addresses for the organisations without info going through you? Using js in the browser? (That would be awesome!)


Yep. The user chooses the organisations they wish to donate to, they are given an address to send there donation. When the donation is received it's distributed between the chosen organisations and sent. All done as simply as possible so you can donate to loads of worthy organisations in seconds.


I'm not sure that making it easier would convince me to part with my hard earned Bitcoins any easier.


It's not meant to, it's if you wish to donate it makes it easier to find/discover organisations accepting bitcoins as a method of donation. I know there's a page on the bitcoin wiki but you still have to go onto each site and search for the bitcoin address. This also makes it easier to send to multiple organisations quickly and painlessly.
