Re: [Gimp-web] Add Bitcoin Cash or Monero donation address

Hi Piotr,

I'll forward this to the mailing list because you sent it only to me.

And just to clarify: There is no need to add another address. The current
address works for both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, and the same private key
that would be used to access the Bitcoin at the address can be used to
access the Bitcoin Cash. It just requires a different client.

Best regards
Felix
