Less so a question and more a suggestion. Might get more donations if stick your BTC address on the website behind a big 'Donate' button - allowing you to popup a QR code / accept Lightning also. Suspect this will multiply your number of donations, improve UX AND your kitty.
Do you have any ideas on how you can help businesses attract Bitcoiners to their stores, beyond just being pinned on the map? (i.e. events, notifications, faucets, discounts, showcasing news or new products - any of this in the pipeline?)
Our experience is that Bitcoiners will travel to simply go spend their sats somewhere.
But yep, we'll be incorporating meet-ups etc into the app and are open to running events/discounts/faucets when we build up the sponsorship side of things.
