Are you ready for ‪#‎BitcoinGivingTuesday‬? December 2nd!

http://www.bitcoingivingtuesday.org/

It's the first annual Bitcoin Giving Tuesday! Support our campaign for nonprofit charity Medic Mobile - providing cell phones to health workers in third world countries - saving lives through technology!

Other well-known charities are now accepting Bitcoin, including Save the Children, American Red Cross, United Way, The Water Project, and more!

Happy Bitcoin Holidays!

So it's today. Nearly forgot. Sent some small donation, hope that helps.

It would be useful if the website for bitcoin giving Tuesday had a donation link/address. It only has 'Join the movement' button which asks for the name/email. So I just went to official BitGive website and donated to: 1PEoUKNxTZsc5rFSQvQjeTVwDE9vEDCRWm

Thank you for your donation to BitGive! If you scroll down on the website, there were 42 charities to choose from and they each have their own donation pages and wallet addresses.

Thanks for supporting the event!

It's great to have something like this, but I have never heard of this site.

How do we know that the donated coins are actually used for charities?

I'll do some more research and if I'm sure this is legit I will make a donation.

If you actually visit the site - www.bitcoingivingtuesday.org - you will see each charity has their own donation page and wallet set up.

There are two exceptions where the charity does not accept Bitcoin directly:

1. Bitcoin Foundation is raising funds for Hal Finney tribute for an ALS organization.
2. BitGive is sponsoring a campaign for Medic Mobile.

Thanks!

Is this a random made up date? Why can't every day be a bitcoin giving day?

I totally agree with you ..Every Day is anew day for donations

Yes, every day can be giving bitcoin day, of course!

We are taking advantage of an international event Giving Tuesday and offering a Bitcoin alternative! It's about raising awareness and getting the mainstream population to see the benefits of Bitcoin and charitable giving

These forums crack me up about everyone being suspect of everything. Doing your due diligence is definitely required, but I have to ask, what is it that you need to feel an organization is "legit?"

I am genuinely interested. We have a website, our IRS paperwork up, I regularly make public appearances, I have a public twitter account, etc. etc.

Could somebody who is not a new user confirm, if this is legit?

+1

No "https", no charity registration/physical address shown, briefly checked bitcoin foundation events/blog - nothing there...

There's some IRS paperwork pdf on their website, but no idea whether legit or not.

Edit: the OP's account was registered in Dec 2013 and the posts are fairly consistent.

GainerCoin.com 🔥 Masternode coin 🔥

I would be careful with these kinds of sites as there is a very high chance that these kinds of websites could direct you to send bitcoin to a address/site that is not connected to the actual charity.
