Using Duplication is easy, donation is hard

hi
i am am exited about your work. I would like to send you a donation in bitcoin. But your bitcoin link doesn’t show me your bitcoinaddress, unless i install some addin.
I have no idea what addin i need. (using firefox).
Cheers, Robert

Hi @Arbyter and welcome to the forum! :smiley:

I’m happy to hear you’re interested in Duplicati but unfortunately I don’t know anything about the donation side of things. I agree that an additional addon should not be necessary to do a bitcoin transaction so I’ve passed this on to somebody who should know what’s going on with that side of things.

The idea is that your wallet software (whatever you use) should install a URL handler that takes bitcoin:// and treats it like an address, but I have tried a few wallets, and none of them do that.

As @tophee mentions, you can see it in the tooltip, and your browser should show it in the address bar after clicking it.

For a better solution, we are making a common donation page that clearly shows the addresses and adds a few more crypto-currencies. The idea is then that the web-UI will just link to this page instead of having the addresses embedded in the web-UI.
