ah... I actually found that donation address but I taught it's for hosting Bitcoin.org website itself.
Didn't think it goes for the development of the Bitcoin Core
If it does I'll use that one.
ps.
found the Electrum @ThomasV address in your signature.
hardcoded in the software, so I've everything I need. THX
Your hunch is correct, it's for bitcoin.org, not for the development of the reference client.Didn't think it goes for the development of the Bitcoin Core

For the hardcoded Electrum address, it's not meant to be a donation address.
It's for message signing purposes in case there's a new version to be announced to Electrum clients (for clients who turned it on).
Because the "version" (electrum.org/version) that Electrum provides have to be signed with either of those addresses for verification purposes.
If you need to contact ThomasV (ecdsa) to get a donation address, here's his bitcointalk profile: ThomasV / GitHub profile: github.com/ecdsa
