are bitcoin or other cryptos dropped from donation options?

I had Tommy account previously and waiting now. I wanted to donate via bitcoin but there are only PayPal and Skrill options on Tommy page. and unfortunately bitcoin is my only option. just wondering if I can get my Tommy invitation via bitcoin or not.

Agreed it's not on the Tommy page, but it's still there here: https://www.heliohost.org/donate/ .

 

Just a side note: A few days ago I think wolstech was saying something about losing access to the wallet it something like this. Not quite sure though. He's the one to confirm that.

I don't have access to the bitcoin wallet, but not because it's lost. It's because that one wallet is managed as part of Bitpay, which does the BTC->USD conversion for us. Krydos is the one who has access to that service. I have access to all other wallets listed. When other currencies are sold, the resulting bitcoin gets sent into the same BTC wallet shown there.

 

Also, it's not on the Tommy page because we didn't really plan on offering incentives for crypto donations. Many currencies by design don't have a way to track who sent the money (the most you get is a transaction ID showing money was sent to us), so it poses issues with things like tracking which users already have accounts, which are recurring payments for specific accounts, etc.
