## 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)
