Results at that time showed a slight but statistically significant decrease in revenue per visitor from the page that included\u00a0 the link. The post generated a lively discussion in the comments and also on <a title=\"Reddit thread on bitcoin link testing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Bitcoin\/comments\/2oofby\/results_of_first_17_days_of_mozilla_bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for an update.<\/p>\n<p>We conducted a much longer round of tests from December 9 &#8211; December 15. In addition to the &#8220;Donate with Bitcoin&#8221; version, we tested other text in the footer of our standard <a title=\"Mozilla's Donation Form\" href=\"https:\/\/sendto.mozilla.org\/page\/contribute\/givenow-seq\" target=\"_blank\">donation form<\/a>. The variants we chose were driven by customer demand as measured by emails from the &#8220;Send us an email&#8221; prompt at the bottom of our form. We get a high number of requests for Mozilla&#8217;s mailing address to send a gift by check, and a smaller number of requests to accept bitcoin. Other necessary text is there also, including a link to our FAQ and a statement about our non-profit IRS status.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are the variations we tested:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mozfundraising.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Untitled3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-637\" src=\"http:\/\/mozfundraising.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Untitled3.png\" alt=\"Footer Variants\" width=\"595\" height=\"447\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Results<\/h5>\n<p>Anticlimactically, there were no clear winners or losers.
