[P2P-F] Bitcoin donation

Sat Jan 15 11:54:10 CET 2011

Hi Michel,

Yes, I do have a public key, but yet again,
another nice idea with terrible interaction design and userbility

- most people have no clue about public private keys, so this keeps it a
geek thing
- the actual app upon launch is unclear. Where to click, what to do,gah!

I can't really support this even if it is a p2p solution.

James
