A simple html plugin to allow people to donate the equivalent bitcoin amount of a donation of a chosen fiat currency.

Click here for a Demo.

Configuration: (inside of index.js)

var address = "PUT_ADDRESS_HERE"; // The bitcoin address to receive donations. Change to yours
var popup = false; // Set to true if you want a popup to pay bitcoin
var currency_code = "USD"; // Change to your default currency. Choose from https://api.bitcoinaverage.com/ticker/
var qrcode = true; // Set to false to disable qrcode
var link = true; // Set to false to disable generating hyperlink
var organization = "Example"; // Change to your organization name
var mbits = true; // Set to false to display bitcoin traditionally

Use:

• Link people to your donate-bitcoin page to let them chose how much Bitcoin to donate.
• Link people to your donate-bitcoin page with a set amount and specific currency for them to donate. This is done by adding something like ?amount=100&currency=USD to your url. (Example) Read more in the Advanced Configuration.
