Ugh! I am so tired of that attitude!

I am always flabbergasted at the irony of cyber-luddites whining about how ease of use and user friendliness are abominations unto the net.

I for one am in favor of options and choice, there is no logical or ethical defense of the reverse.

In the real world people use web pages with images and buttons. Some may want the whole world to go back to amber text and CRTs, but too bad. If one wants to browse via telnet, that's their business. But they shouldn't get uppity and try to force everyone else into their anti-technology Unabomber fantasy land just because their elitist $%#s can't handle seeing fresh faces at the country club.

The people that like to use terms like "intellectual laziness" in a scolding do-it-my-way-or-you're-stupid context are attempting to impose their subjective and intolerant whims onto the community and it makes me sick because the whole point of Bitcoin and indeed open source generally is freedom of the very choice they're attempting to step on.

With the recent Wikileaks madness, and as a political blogger, I am eager to see a truly free PayPal alternative. This means replication of every feature PayPal has. And that includes making it easy on donors and buyers. Duh. I guess you're against point of sale machines as well. Much better to force card users to memorize huge account numbers and replace magnetic strips with keypads, right? Please.

If you want to turn your webpage into some techie-bootcamp, fine, but I don't feel like running my users and readers through an obstacle course just because I think they could use the exercise. Not all of them are tech minded and I don't have any pressing need to try and force them into that role, or indeed to be more like me at all.

Rant concluded. ---

For the record I vote for the solution put forth by mikegogulski or whoever else. The URI solution is ideal.

I would love to have a Bitcoin button on my page that works like PayPal donate, and the URI solution seems like the most flexible and user friendly solution.

Just to be intellectually lazy can someone link me to the appropriate place to make this feature request or to do whatever else I can do to support the adoption and inclusion of such a feature?
