I have made a donations tool, for you to add to your posts

avatar

I am running my own IPFS nodes (for now, 3 of them), so that I can host my @threespeak and @dtube content myself, so that if other seeders stop pinning it, it is still available, as the network is voluntary.

But I want to run more nodes, and maybe even pin other people's content, so I have got the idea to accept donations on every post. I could manually spend 5 minutes generating QR codes and adding to each post every time I post...

BUT I AM A DEV! SO I DECIDED TO SPEND 12 HOURS CODING TO SOLVE IT!

Here is a tutorial on how to use it, and, like me, beg for money on your posts more easily:

How to use the contributing tool (might be slow, it is not on a full and powerful server!)

For that, I am using a server hosted on Heroku, plus the markdown. So I pass some information to the server, that generates the images and returns to render on the post. Let's see how to use it!

PS: I will open source it tomorrow, today I just want to drink some soy milk and go to sleep.

Generate goal calculator:

The address looks like
(https://cryptodonateassist.herokuapp.com/ADDRESS/GOAL/EXPLANATION)
And the result is:

Goal

Not sooo pretty... But I will open source it tomorrow, today I just want to rest.

But let us break it down and see how you can use it!

First, you have the main URL that is:
https://cryptodonateassist.herokuapp.com/
then the first parameter afetr the .com/ (slash) is the list of addresses you want to check, separated by a ,(comma) so in my case if I want to check my Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Ethereum (including ERC20 tokens!) it is https://cryptodonateassist.herokuapp.com/19Re31p3dfLSxjFGtpChZe1zvcfkwkYRuV,0x4E48F9Ca8A335e03e6549c55749E6aD724464dA2,D7UMxBj6rkB7mKGBuHXjo9RN6YMSif1zwL/

And then again, after this last slash it is the total goal in my case, 90, so I add a 90 after the /

So the image URL becomes:
https://cryptodonateassist.herokuapp.com/19Re31p3dfLSxjFGtpChZe1zvcfkwkYRuV,0x4E48F9Ca8A335e03e6549c55749E6aD724464dA2,D7UMxBj6rkB7mKGBuHXjo9RN6YMSif1zwL/90/

And then, the last parameter is the explanation or extra text, for example, I want to say that I have 3 IPFS nodes online, so I write it, BUT CHANGE THE SPACES FOR %20
so the text becomes 3%20IPFS%20nodes%20already%20online

So, it is:
URL + /ADDRESSES/GOAL/EXPLANATION
URL=
https://cryptodonateassist.herokuapp.com/
ADRESSES (comma separated) = 9Re31p3dfLSxjFGtpChZe1zvcfkwkYRuV,0x4E48F9Ca8A335e03e6549c55749E6aD724464dA2,D7UMxBj6rkB7mKGBuHXjo9RN6YMSif1zwL
GOAL:
90
EXPLANATION (change space for "%20"):
3%20IPFS%20nodes%20already%20online

All combined:
https://cryptodonateassist.herokuapp.com/19Re31p3dfLSxjFGtpChZe1zvcfkwkYRuV,0x4E48F9Ca8A335e03e6549c55749E6aD724464dA2,D7UMxBj6rkB7mKGBuHXjo9RN6YMSif1zwL/90/3%20IPFS%20nodes%20already%20online

Goal

Generate Wallet QR Code:

This one is simple, the same URL, but the parameters are
/COIN/ADDRESS

If you want to add spaces on the coin name, also CHANGE SPACES FOR "%20", so "Ethereum and Tokens" becomes:
Ethereum%20and%20Tokens

So, again it is:
URL + /COIN/ADDRESS
URL=
https://cryptodonateassist.herokuapp.com/
COIN TITLE (separated by "%20") =
Ethereum%20and%20Tokens
ADDRESS:
0x4E48F9Ca8A335e03e6549c55749E6aD724464dA2

Together it becomes:
https://cryptodonateassist.herokuapp.com/Ethereum%20and%20Tokens/0x4E48F9Ca8A335e03e6549c55749E6aD724464dA2

Ethereum and Tokens

And the result (considering I spend half a day only):

Goal

Bitcoin 19Re31p3dfLSxjFGtpChZe1zvcfkwkYRuV

Ethereum and Tokens 0x4E48F9Ca8A335e03e6549c55749E6aD724464dA2

Doge Coin D7UMxBj6rkB7mKGBuHXjo9RN6YMSif1zwL

Interesting set up. I've been dabbling with IPFS for quite awhile now and today I've been looking for ways to package content so people can store them and get paid.

Do you have the remote pinning API set up? Would you be interesting in running a DLUX node to pick up content and pin it?

I am running on the free tier servers, so they don’t have much space available, but I am looking to scale so I might be able to help eventually. How would I be able to help?
