BCH and BTC are misleadingly lumped together under the “Bitcoin” payment option on the websites of the EFF, Microsoft, and Tor.
Several organizations, including most recently the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), have misleadingly listed both Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) under one payment option, “Bitcoin”. The EFF, an international non-profit digital rights group that had already had BTC as a donation payment option, tweeted yesterday, March 13, that they are now accepting donations in BCH, but their website shows a lack of understanding about the difference between BTC and BCH.

Since the Bitcoin Cash announcement, the EFF’s donation page shows three payment options, Credit Card, PayPal, and, laconically, “Bitcoin”. Selecting the “Bitcoin” option takes users to the following screen, which allows you to donate in either BTC or BCH, even while the heading of the page is “Pay with Bitcoin”:
Just last week Microsoft also added BCH to their already existing BTC payment option, and makes the same misleading categorization of both as “Bitcoin”.
