Biggest opportunity: “bitcoin”, “bitcoin cash” and “bitcoin payment” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 40 of 114.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

Version was not working with give 2.0.6.1 and so 5.2.4 and after contacting the developers they fixed it within a short time. This plugin is also very easy to use. I recommend non-profits to use this plugin for implementing with givewp.

I was looking for bitcoin donation plugin and this works great with Give 2.0.6.1. Using now.

Simply doesn’t work. I get a blank page whenever the payment button has been submitted. It also looks like they don’t support this anymore either.
