Re: [Gimp-web] Add Bitcoin Cash or Monero donation address

[Piotr Kąkol <piotrkakol protonmail com>]

Hello again.

There's a new Bitcoin Cash address format. I think it would be better to add that instead of the same address 
to avoid confusion. New users might find it easier to have different address formats and software can warn 
them if they are using wrong address. Just another safety measure.
You can find more about the format here:

Best regards,
Piotr
