This is literally bitcoin's killer app.

You should be able to do it through coinbase and to you it won't even matter than you are doing it through bitcoin.

It wasn't targeted at Voat, all payment pages have been discontinued by Coinbase...

Disabling user payment pages: Coinbase will discontinue support for user payment pages on March 21st, 2017. When we launched Payment pages in May 2014, we were just beginning the development of our mobile apps and there was no easy way for customers to receive payments. Coinbase mobile apps now enable customers to easily receive payments.

I don't follow. Coinbase is bitcoin's killer app? If so how can I easily purchase and transfer the funds to Voat?

No anonymous donations are.

Coinbase is just trying to be the PayPal of bitcoin and is the easiest way for you to go about doing this.

It will all be done on their site without any software on your part.

The downside is that if you are talking real money it will take a few days to clear before they give you bitcoin you can send. This might include proving your identity to them via uploading licenses etc... due to the US. oppressive "Know Your Customer Laws"

So Coinbase will know who you are, but when you send bitcoin from coinbase Voat and puttitout will have no way to know.

Only Coinbase and our benevolent overlords at the IRS should ever find out.

Edit: I wrote all this assuming you are in the US but looking at your username this may not apply to you directly.
