And how much were you pledging exactly?

How is that relevant exactly? I don't care if the amount is too insignificant for my opinion to matter. But I think that placing the Bitcoin donation link to an almost invisible location is an outrage, honestly. No one is going to notice, no one is going to care.

The Internet Archive is an established organization with good reputation. In one day, they set up a Bitcoin account and emailed back their address. Within two days, they had their address on their FAQ. If you want to email them to help them improve placement to maximize the number of Bitcoin donations they receive, I fully support you.

They were prompt and responsive to my email. They are new at this. Bitcoin is confusing. Cut them some slack.

The link to the BTC address is not in a prominent location, probably because they aren't sure how much money they will be able to raise with it. BTC addresses are ugly, and a novel concept to understand.

I think your being "genuinely pissed" is childish and laughable. If you want them to move the link, you shouldn't cancel your pledge, you should pledge more! (and email them polite suggestions) They will want to feature their BTC address prominently if they are earning a comparable amount from BTC as from justgive.org and PayPal. If they only get pocket change, they will think of it as a hassle and a waste of time.

Please, do not lash out at charitable organizations. We want Bitcoin to have a positive reputation.

I think childish and laughable aptly describes the response from Technomage. Well put.
