[P2P-F] Bitcoin donation

[Samuel Rose]

This is a p2p application, so we would need to post your's or James's
public key, and people who want to donate bitcoins would need then
send you the bitcoins by downloading the bitcoin application and
sending it to you

quote:

"Bitcoin utilizes public/private key digital signatures (ECDSA). A
coin has its owner's public key on it. When a coin is transferred from
user A to user B, A adds B’s public key to the coin and signs it with
his own private key. Now B owns the coin and can transfer it further.
To prevent A from transferring the already used coin to another user
C, a public list of all the previous transactions is collectively
maintained by the network of Bitcoin nodes, and before each
transaction the coin’s unusedness will be checked."
