This place is pretty cool. Functionally, at least as good as reddit. Plus, not that I have anything against Theymos, but if we transition here, we'll stop getting complaints about too much power in one person's hands.

Bitcoin newb here, why is this a not-good thing?

I wish they'd use the very easy to implement Mycelium Gear scrypt. It would go nicely in the sidebar. It's deterministic, so addresses aren't reused.

I''ve finally donated and it's now over 9BTC aka OVER 9000mBTC.

I don't know much about Bitcoin, but someone once told me you should never use the same address twice, isn't there a way to generate a new address for everyone who wants to donate? Or is it not that important in this case?
It's a good rule of thumb to not reuse addresses, but you can get away with it as long as you understand the repercussions.
Voat's address reuse is not ideal, but it's kind of nice because we can share the address around, or put it in the sidebar. If they had a proper donation page, then it would be good practice to avoid reusing addresses.

I'd love to see some serious bitcoin integration on voat. Like, Changetip integrated directly into the site (not just a bot) so you could do seamless tips and gilding where Voat gets some portion of the funds and the gilded user gets a share too.

Maybe set it up the so the user could choose what percentage to give to Voat? Say from 10% to 1%?
