Topic: Andreas Antonopolous raising funds for Dorian Nakamoto - page 11. (Read 20660 times)
WTG Andreas!!
I think Dorian deserves some coins, but I don't have much coins to donate.
Donating to the uber rich? 
Not much different than corporate welfare. Shameless pandering at it's finest by Andreas M. Antonopoulos.

People are so naive...
I know, right? Believing everything they hear without seeing any real evidence to support it. It's crazy!
Right? People believe in a big bang and that we evolved from fish without seeing any real evidence too! Crazy!
What you mean with "no evidence we evolved from fish"? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagon
Small donation sent, to use phrase received via email some time ago "little cent sent via btc now ok" (Chinese people, I guess)
Great move by Andreas A. It might even get him a private chat with the great man himself.
I donated. If he's not Satoshi, the guy deserves a few $. If he is Satoshi, the coins will go to a good cause (I'm assuming the real Satoshi won't accept the coins
).

HOW DO YOU KNOW??
It's being organised by someone most people in the bitcoin community know, so there is no reason to think it will not happen as promised.
You are just being an total ass making this statement
The only way to deal with trolls is to ignore them.
On that note, I was glad to toss a few crumbs in on this. Worst case scenario a few dollars are lost, best case an undeserving media pinata gets a bailout. I think it's a fantastic idea, and what great press for the community!!
Nice job!

Not so critical when you are on the recieving end?
Why don't you put it to good use and send it to an old, ill man looking after his 93 year old mother?

Because I have a whole family to look after? Anyway, I am extremely generous but not unwise. I give money to people when I am sure they really need.
OK, I agree with you. I do not really know if the REAL Dorian S. Nakamoto really needs money for a genuine purpose. However, this is not about the REAL Dorian, but the FICTIONAL Dorian. Do you even know if the news article is addressing the truth of the matter? Based on my life experience I am sure that news articles are never accurate when the underlying purpose is to cause sensationalism. Personally, I do not trust in the news source due the lack of verifiable evidence to support what was claimed.
If he is "bitcoin satoshi", which I personally doubt, he has not cashed out his coins and so is not some eccentric millionaire pretending to be poor.
If he is not "bitcoin satoshi", which I personally feel is more likely (but make up your own mind), he does not seem undeserving of a little help.
That's all. For now, at least give him the benefit of the doubt, rather than putting everyone off helping.
If it's a total scam, no one is going to miss the $10 they donate. If it's not, the money is well spent.
I just hope Andreas/people will consider getting the cash raised over to him quickly - not in 3 weeks time.
Otherwise, it leaves him open to being cornered by some crappy news channel who offer him $10k for his story and he has no choice but to accept
Giving Bitcoin to worthy causes that will gain positive press is important if only for selfish reasons as a community. Put it this way, we are all major "stock" holders in the Bitcoin corporation. We are not really spending any money on advertising. The only advertising we have been getting lately is some "great" news like CEO's committing suicide and Mt. Gox going down and so on. If we can collectively throw a small amount of coin into something that will generate positive press, we are all benefit greatly from that! Plus we can do a potentially good deed in the process. It really is a "win/win" situation for us to do these sorts of things
ROFL.
No, you are certainly not "major stock holders in the Bitcoin corporation".

The Bitcoin user base is becoming a whole pathetic mass of fools ready to provide money to fictional entities.
Who do you believe is the fictional entity? Andreas, Dorian, someone else?
The Dorian S. Nakamoto which needs to be compensated for the supposedly grief he is undergoing.
At this point the media created a fictional character based on the real character.
The news was surely just published to allow yet another "Bitcoin Jesus" to collect money under the disguise of a noble cause.
Nice work Andreas, good shout, you would have to think this money will more than make up for the trouble Dorian has been caused.
Dang, more model trains for him!
