Are any popular Bitcoin apps using their APIs? I don't really see how an API marketplace paid via Bitcoin is better than a credit card bill at the end of the month based on API usage.

Here's the right person to ask about that: https://21.co/magicaltux/

Why does it have to be only black girls? In fact, why does it have to be only girls?

Nobody said or implied that, just as an organization hoping to cure polio doesn't think that's the only illness worth curing.

Arguably better deal: contact me for $2.00 (cbswishes@gmail.com). All proceeds will be used towards buying a new pair of pyjamas

Payment sent via PayPal. It's a privilege to support our community, so thank you.

You can make your own charity and support whoever you want. Why does the National Rifle Association only support gun issues? Why not preserving historical buildings? Well, because there are other organizations to preserve historical buildings.

37Signals has been doing something similar (with the charity portion). I heard about it while listening to the new podcast by Noah Kagan. For $500, you can go visit 37Signals for a day and see how they work. Price has been rising every year.

My question is, are you guaranteed a response? I viewed this on mobile and that wasn't immediately clear.

Whatever you do with the $20 I still find unreasonable to make you contactable via a paywall: moreover if you have no time, you have no time even if each communication will donate $20 for a good cause. For a person of the wealth of B.H. it's simpler to just give directly money and avoid to receive unwanted communications.
