In the aftermath of GoFundMe attempting to steal $9M from the Canadian Freedom Truckers, there is now a way to donate BTC to the movement using Tallycoin. https://tallyco.in/s/lzxccm/

This has been covered in Zero Hedge in two articles:

Tallycoin is a front end that allows a BTC Lightning Node to be linked to allow automatic creation of Lightning invoices on the site. Payment goes direct to the Node. It doesn't hold the money or even transmit it. It is simply a plugin for the popular Umbrel Lightning Node open source software.

Tallycoin allows payment via the Lightning Network (fee less and fast, perfect for small amounts) and on-chain (should you wish to donate larger amounts).

This is huge in itself and it is so easy to donate. Just specify the amount you want to donate and TallyCoin creates a Lightning invoice with QR code which you can scan with your Lightning Wallet.
Much less friction than using PayPal or credit cards.

But wait there is more. Thanks to @brianoflondon you can pay Lightning invoices direct with Hive or HBD from your Hive account (using Keychain or Hive Signer). This HiveLightning service is at https://lnd.v4v.app/

All you need to do is click on the QR code on the Tallycoin site and paste it into the Lightning Invoice box and click either the HIVE or HBD button to send the indicated amount of HIVE or HBD.

Super easy!
