About Send Me Bitcoin
Send Me Bitcoin is a simple public Bitcoin donation website built around one idea: make it easy for someone to support a project using Bitcoin while keeping the receiving address and useful wallet statistics visible in one place.
The site is intentionally focused on one public donation address instead of a collection of separate payment pages. The result is a straightforward page where a visitor can read about Bitcoin, choose how they want to donate, and verify the public wallet information for themselves.
Why This Website Exists
I created this website to give Bitcoin supporters a dedicated place to send donations without having to search through social posts, messages, or changing payment links. I also wanted the donation page to be transparent: the receiving address is public, the important wallet statistics are visible, and the blockchain data can be checked independently through public explorers.
The project is designed to grow over time. The page can remain a simple donation address while also becoming a useful place to learn about Bitcoin, understand the donation process, and see how the public wallet changes as donations arrive.
What Is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment network and digital money system that operates without a central bank or single central authority. Participants use software and cryptographic rules to communicate transactions and maintain a shared public ledger commonly called the blockchain.
Bitcoin is open-source, and its network is maintained by independent participants. A Bitcoin wallet gives a person a way to receive and send bitcoin, while the network records confirmed transactions on the public blockchain.
Bitcoin is different from a traditional bank transfer because ownership is represented by cryptographic keys rather than by an account balance maintained by one financial institution. This makes self-custody possible, but it also means that users are responsible for protecting their own wallet credentials.
How Bitcoin Donations Work
To donate, use a Bitcoin wallet and send bitcoin to the public address shown on this page. You can copy the address, scan the QR code, or use a wallet application that understands the standard Bitcoin payment URI.
After a transaction is broadcast, it enters the Bitcoin network and may be included in a block. Once confirmed, the transaction becomes part of the public blockchain history. The wallet statistics shown on this website are derived from public blockchain information and can be independently checked with a Bitcoin block explorer.
Why Bitcoin for Donations?
Bitcoin can be useful for donations because it is available internationally, does not require the donor and recipient to use the same bank, and allows a public receiving address to be verified independently. Depending on the wallet and network conditions, donors can also choose between different Bitcoin transaction options offered by their wallet.
Bitcoin donations are not reversible in the same way as a typical card chargeback. Always check the destination address and amount before confirming a transaction. Sending bitcoin to an incorrect address can result in permanent loss of the funds.
About This Bitcoin Address
The public receiving address used by this website is:
bc1qs7tew04epf6lkyll2hfp74g3efffvn527vkm5m
This is a public receiving address. It is safe to share publicly, but it must never be confused with a private key or seed phrase. The website does not need a private key to display public wallet statistics or receive donations.
Understanding the Wallet Statistics
The live dashboard above is designed to show aggregated information rather than a public transaction list. Current balance shows the bitcoin associated with the address, while total received represents the total incoming value detected for the wallet. Other statistics summarize donation activity without exposing a scrolling transaction history on this page.
The charts provide different time ranges so the recent and longer-term movement of the wallet balance and Bitcoin market price can be viewed together. Hover or drag across a graph to inspect the value recorded at a particular point in time.
How to Donate
- Choose a donation amount, or select any amount.
- On a phone, use the Bitcoin payment button or scan the QR code with a wallet.
- On a computer, use the desktop wallet button if you have a Bitcoin wallet installed, or copy the address/payment link.
