## Why

Thesis of this project is that _publishers that have a *loyal* following might be able to get close to PPC unit economics with bitcoin donations_.

While we are <a href="http://owocki.com/adblock-to-bitcoin-publishers-wanted/">building relationships with publishers</a> to test this thesis empirically, I've conducting a rather-unscientific poll suggesting that a small sample of users would be willing to pay for ad-free content, but not if they are forced:

# Forked from

Special thanks to these guys, who did much of the work and upon whom this project is based:

#Demo

Demo code is at [https://github.com/owocki/adblock-to-bitcoin/blob/master/demo.html](https://github.com/owocki/adblock-to-bitcoin/blob/master/demo.html) and live demo is at [http://experiments.owocki.com/adblock-to-bitcoin/demo.html](http://experiments.owocki.com/adblock-to-bitcoin/demo.html)

Demo code is tested with Adblock Plus and uBlock on Google Chrome on a Mac.  Any other combinations, use at your own risk (and this is open source software, feel free to submit PRs).

# How you can help

* _Publisher?_ Give adblock-to-bitcoin a try with our [Wordpress Plugin)(https://github.com/owocki/adblock-to-bitcoin/blob/master/wordpress-plugin)]
* _Data Scientist?_ We need DATA!  The thesis behind this project is brands that have a loyal following could test different suggested payments / different copy, and might be able to get close to PPC unit economics.  [Contact me on twitter](http://twitter.com/owocki)]
