The Bitcoin address that has been listed in the site footer for years (198uyayMFVHUmrcuzWKFSMAkmwfkQgQEXj) is not verified as belonging to or being monitored by current maintainers. Leaving a public donation channel where the destination is unknown is worse than having no donation channel at all — well-intentioned donors could send funds that never reach the project. Removing the listing pending verification of the recipient. If a verified, monitored donation channel (Bitcoin or otherwise) is set up in the future, it can be re-added in a dedicated PR alongside any other supported funding routes.

Four related tweaks to the home page after PRs ether#361 and ether#365 landed. - InstallOneLiner: swap the Docker one-liner for the native curl/irm installer commands from etherpad-lite README (Linux/macOS use bin/installer.sh, Windows uses bin/installer.ps1). Update the caption from "Needs Docker" to git + Node.js >= 20 with the follow-up `cd etherpad-lite && pnpm run prod` step. - MainHeadline: remove the "Read the manifesto" and "Why Etherpad" CTA buttons from the hero. The header already links to /about, and the hero was getting crowded once the InstallOneLiner landed. - MainHeadline: shrink hero h1 from 2.5rem to 2.3rem so the heading fits more naturally above the subhead on narrower viewports. - AddFunctionalities: rename heading "Add Functionalities" to "Add Functionality" — "functionality" reads as an uncountable collective here, which is more idiomatic. - Footer: remove the unverified Bitcoin donation line that PR ether#361 reintroduced when the positioning branch merged on top of ether#362. No routing or dependency changes. `pnpm run build` succeeds; all routes still generate statically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Removes the Bitcoin donation address (
198uyayMFVHUmrcuzWKFSMAkmwfkQgQEXj) that has been listed in the site footer for years. The destination wallet is not verified as belonging to or being monitored by current maintainers.Leaving a public donation channel where the destination is unknown is worse than having no channel at all — well-intentioned donors could send funds that never reach the project.
Why a separate PR?
Companion to #361 (the homepage positioning rewrite), but kept as its own PR because:
Changes
<p>Bitcoin public address: ...</p>line fromsrc/components/Footer.tsx.That's it. No other content affected.
Future donation channels
If/when a verified, actively monitored donation channel (Bitcoin, OpenCollective, GitHub Sponsors, bank transfer, or otherwise) is set up, it can be re-added in a dedicated PR alongside any other supported funding routes — ideally with a
/donatepage that explains where the funds go.Test plan
