You should post some deposit addresses so you can accept crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin) donations! Come on man, we're living in the future. PayPal is so passé. Thanks for the great tool, looking forward to installing it this evening!
I haven't yet because I don't know where to start. It seems like too much hassle if I'm not going to mine it myself. I wouldn't know where to start setting up a donation wallet.
Edit: I just looked into Coinbase, Kraken, and CEX and they all want my personal information to register my account. I am not comfortable with that. Is there an anonymous wallet site that I can use my debit card to transfer USD to and from?
You could very easily accept BTC (Bitcoin) and various crypto anonymously, however the on/off ramps (exchanges) are becoming more tightly controlled and you would almost certainly need to validate your identity before being able to exchange your crypto for fiat (USD).
As much as it pains me to do so, Coinbase is where I recommend new users start who aren't comfortable protecting and managing their own private keys (i.e. my parents). For a simple anonymous Bitcoin wallet, I would suggest you take a look at: samouraiwallet.com/
In a perfect world you'd get your own hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S, Trezor) but that's an investment to consider down the road if you find yourself acquiring more cryptocurrency for the long haul.
If you are REALLY serious about your privacy, then using Electrum on TAILS is the way to go: tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_inter...
I hope you find some of this useful. Please do not hesitate to ask further questions, blockchain technology is worth spending some time familiarizing yourself with, IMO.
EDIT: Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of anonymous options to cash out, beyond potentially meeting someone face to face and selling your crypto that way. If nothing else, it could potentially be money in the bank for a rainy day some months/years down the road. Thank you for the wonderful product, just got it installed and tested on Win 10 Pro (1803) -- OS BUild: 17134.228
I've created a Bitcoin address with Bread Wallet (Saw the recommendations on r/bitcoin). This is for now to see if more people than you tell em I need one.
Does this look correct?

The easiest way to create an anonymous wallet might be to use the code at: bitadress.org
But take care to ensure you protect yourself during the creation process by carefully following these steps:
1.) Save the bitaddress.org site's HTML files to your PC
2.) Close your browser
3.) Disconnect and disable network connection to your computer, taking care to also disable Wi-Fi, if applicable
3.) Open the HTML files you previously saved above in Step 1
4.) Use the JavaScript code to generate an address and SAVE YOUR PRIVATE KEYS! Back it up someplace safe, NOT in the cloud. Keep multiple copies, and protect it with great care. If someone has your private keys, they can take your funds.
5.) Close your browser, reboot PC and proceed about your normal business
Enjoy! Now you can accept BTC donations, at the very least.
Great, @spikespaz that appears to be a legit BTC address:
live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/1...
In a perfect world you'd have a SegWit supporting address (begins with 3, instead of a 1 -- allows you to take advantage of lower transaction fees, among other things), but this is a great start. Be wary of what information you read online, the crypto debate is an impassioned one, to put it gently. It can be difficult to find truly accurate and unbiased information. BRD.com is a great place to start, sir.
Hey @spikespaz did you end up settling on a BTC wallet / process? Were you going to stick with: live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/1...
I think I'm going to stick with BRD, yes.
Was just discussing the improved Start Menu search with a colleague the other day, and we were like "too bad it isn't Google". Thanks for this!
Thanks! You should share this with your colleague too!
Oh, I will! I suggest you add a GIF of the project in action to the readme. Would really help to sell people.
If possible too, a brief overview of how it works (D isn't really a popular language).
