How does it alert the publishers that a donation has been made?
How can I be ensured that my donation is going to the right place?
Can this auto donate a set amount per site?
Good idea but advertising vs altruism is a tricky battle. I will try it.

Right now, you're trusting the owner of the default address (me) to get in touch with content providers and pay them (but one could can verify this by looking at the blockchain.info address). Future versions would allow publishers to register their address and display their address in the QR code.

I agree. There is a happy medium somewhere between advertising, micropayments, and subscriptions; and I hope to find it.
