steps to reproduce:

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.
