[GNC] Suggestion to Accept Bitcoin/Lightning/Monero Donations

[83281]

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a supporter of your open-source project GnuCash and would like to make a donation. However, I noticed that you currently do not accept Bitcoin, Lightning, or Monero.

Privacy is very important to me, as it is to many other open-source users and advocates. Supporting privacy-respecting donation methods like Bitcoin and Monero would likely encourage more people to contribute. These options also operate independently of banks and intermediaries, which aligns with the values of a freer and more open world.

Would you consider adding the option to donate via Bitcoin (on-chain and maybe even Lightning) or Monero? If you need any assistance implementing this, I would be happy to help.

The easiest way to get started is by downloading Cake Wallet, which is open-source, non-custodial, and supports both Bitcoin and Monero (as well as other cryptocurrencies). You could then simply display the wallet address on your website for donations.

Thank you for your work and for considering this suggestion. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can assist in any way.

Best regards!
