Should this be unstickied, or have the headline changed, now that voat has VC backing and were even offering refunds to people who donated?

As soon as I get more coins I'll slide another $25 under the door. Coinbase is being a bit of a pill and has my bank transfer from last Wednesday still marked as "pending".
I'd also like to +1 adding changetip integration. I'd micro-tip the hell out of sane mods and contributors.
Edit: As a side note coinbase is offering a $25 referral bonus (you have to deposit $100, though). I'd be willing to kick the $25 over to voat and list it as on the behalf of the username of anyone that wants to do it (so you get whatever wacky sticker/icon they're going to paste next to your name).
I won't post my referral url unless the mods/users think it's kosher. But if a few of us coinbasers do it it may add up to a decent level of coin.
Usual disclaimer for you to do your own due diligence to make sure coinbase is a good fit for you.
Edit of my edit: Offer rescinded. The referral url spits out my IRL full name.
Holy Fuck, Coinbase.
Sorry.

Being one of the few Reddit alternatives that accepts bitcoins for services will give Voat a leg up. Not a bad idea either. If anything I'll be throwing in more than my 2 cents for helping out Voat as I've seen pieces of the /r/bitcoin community come here already.

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.
