  • Closed (moved) Issue created by cypherpunks

    steps to reproduce:

    opened https://www.torproject.org clicked on Donate clicked on "Other Ways to Donate" entered amount to donate clicked on the "bitcoin donate now" button solve 3 captchas finally ended up on https://bitpay.com/checkout

    That page says: " Oops... that page doesn't exist! If it seems like there should be something here, please let us know. "

    BitPay will not disable CAPTCHA for tor users trying to donate to the torproject:

    To answer your question: "would you be willing to disable CAPTCHAs for Tor users to make donations work out of the box? "

    This was my first request to BitPay management. The answer was no. I then asked if we could offer a payment button that worked through Cloudflare and the answer was "not at this time".

    I am very sorry to bring you this news. This issue is also very important to me personally. I think people should be able to donate bitcoin to the Tor Project from the Tor Browser without jumping through hoops, but this is the state of things at the moment.
