_by Nicholas Ochiel and Namcios _

giveBTC is a research project into a simple, low maintenance way to receive donations in satoshis.

  • This project also serves as a repository of new implementations of or links to existing bitcoin donation apps/tools.

Additional Information

  • Reviews: contains a review of existing challenges, opportunities, and applications for receiving bitcoin donations.
  • Use Cases: contains a list and description of use cases for a bitcoin donation app.

Gordian Principles

giveBTC is a research project (and potential reference implementation of a donation app or tools to install and use a viable donation app) meant to display the Gordian Principles, which are philosophical and technical underpinnings to Blockchain Commons' Gordian technology. This includes:

  • Independence. how does it demonstrate independence
  • Privacy. how does it demonstrate privacy
  • Resilience. how does it demonstrate resilience
  • Openness. how does it demonstrate openness

Blockchain Commons apps do not phone home and do not run ads. Some are available through various app stores; all are available in our code repositories for your usage.

Status - Prototype

giveBTC is currently under active development and in the prototyping phase. It should not be used in production.

Discussions

The best place to talk about Blockchain Commons and its projects is in our GitHub Discussions areas.

Gordian System Discussions. For users and developers of the Gordian system, including the Gordian Server, Bitcoin Standup technology, QuickConnect, and the Gordian Wallet. If you want to talk about our linked full-node and wallet technology, suggest new additions to our Bitcoin Standup standards, or discuss the implementation our standalone wallet, the Discussions area of the main Gordian repo is the place.

Wallet Standard Discussions. For standards and open-source developers who want to talk about wallet standards, please use the Discussions area of the Airgapped Signing repo. This is where you can talk about projects like our LetheKit and command line tools such as seedtool, both of which are intended to testbed wallet technologies, plus the libraries that we've built to support your own deployment of wallet technology such as bc-bip39, bc-slip39, bc-shamir, Sharded Secret Key Reconstruction, bc-ur, and the bc-crypto-base. If it's a wallet-focused technology or a more general discussion of wallet standards,discuss it here.

Blockchain Commons Discussions. For developers, interns, and patrons of Blockchain Commons, please use the discussions area of the Community repo to talk about general Blockchain Commons issues, the intern program, or topics other than the Gordian System or the wallet standards, each of which have their own discussion areas.
