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%?

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.

Donated. Hopefully voat will do a better bitcoin integration than reddit.

Haha, maybe some day soon! It's the thought that counts. :)

Keep trying from time to time... it's a great way to gauge user interest.

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

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.

  1. It's bad for your privacy. Everybody can see every transaction you make. (Not a big deal in Voat's case.)
  2. It's bad for the privacy of people who send you money. (Say you want to donate to Wikileaks, but they always reuse addresses. Not cool.)
  3. If your address was created using a faulty random number generator, then it's possible that reusing the address could allow attackers to compromise the private key by analyzing transaction signatures.

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.
