Description
It would be cool if you allowed donations in other cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin Cash and Monero.
I chose Bitcoin Cash because of popularity and low fees and Monero because imo it's the most private cryptocurrency.
For Bitcoin Cash (BCH) you can even probably use your old wallet and just convert the BTC address to BECH32 with http://cashaddr.bitcoincash.org. That is if you have access to your Bitcoin Cash. And I hope you do because you in case you didn't know, you have ~36 000 USD in your BCH wallet (and you have ~20 000 USD in your BTC wallet). Though, you'd probably need to use a different software wallet to use your funds (e.g. Electron Cash).
As for Monero, I'd suggest Monero Core's wallet: https://getmonero.org/downloads You can either use it as a full node wallet by downloading the blockchain (50 GB) or as a light wallet by using a trusted node (getting the blockchain data from them).
I.a. VLC, Blender, WikiLeaks, Veracrypt and Linux Mint accept Monero donations (just to show it's not just a useless coin).
