Description

This plugin adds the shortcode [coinwidget] to embed a coinwidget.com bitcoin donation button.

See http://coinwidget.com.

Since the coinwidget.com source has not changed in some time, this plugin is now based on a branch available at https://github.com/alvinhkh/CoinWidget

To get public information about your Bitcoin address it makes queries to http://blockchain.info/address/.
To get public information about your Litecoin address it makes queries to http://explorer.litecoin.net/address/.
To get public information about your Dogecoin address it makes queries to http://dogechain.info/address/.

Embed the short [coinwidget] anywhere in your posts or template to include a coinbase button that, when clicked, will display a address for users to send Bitcoins.
