I just sent 10 BTCs to Diaspora... Best!

The address is fixed.

https://www.diasporafoundation.org/donate

Highlights two reasons we should use firstbits.

#1: it's case insensitive and shorter (1h63we), so this confusion wouldn't have happened

#2: it was easy for me to find the correct address (
1H63WEQbK45K3xgC7DRfphMWMJMZHrX542)

http://firstbits.com/?a=1h63we
http://blockchain.info/fb/1h63we

It would suck if they don't have access to that wallet anymore 

good one

EDIT: Is it just me or does it still not work?

EDIT 2 : okay somehow it is working right now finally

if you view the source, you can see that the uppercasing is simply being done by CSS... therefore you can see the original and (presumably) correct bitcoin address in their source code:

1H63WEQbK45K3xgC7DRfphMWMJMZHrX542

great one !!  just send them 10 btc


EDIT:  THEIR ADRESS DOESNT WORK !! WAIT UNTIL THEY FIX IT !

I wonder if they are using a smallcaps style. Since the page was not displaying properly in my browser, I came back with lynx: 1H63WEQbK45K3xgC7DRfphMWMJMZHrX542.

The Bitcoin Address of Diaspora is invalid.

Here it is:
1H63WEQBK45K3XGC7DRFPHMWMJMZHRX542

Seems to be all in UPPERCASE.   

https://www.diasporafoundation.org/donate  they have bitcoin listed on the diaspora foundation.

We have a committment from them to accept bitcoins and I am talking to their accouting person to get this setup.  So anyone who emailed them, thank you.  I will post when they are up and running.  It would be nice if everyone that contacted them would make a small donation to stand behind the spam effort.  Thanks!

There's a technical feature request for bitcoin and the discussion is not going well (nothing more than a ponzi scheme): https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/2188

>there are already Diaspora Pods online which accept BTC donations!

it would be so aaawwwweeesssooommeee if the diaspora community could fin a way to make btc sending and recieving in exchange for hosting pods , writing good comments etc workable....u see if u post a lot good stuff peopel can send u 0.0001 btc etc..or for funny stuff etc..

so there would also an incentive be created for JOINING diaspora beacuse all people hear-> .."hey i can earn money simply from my personality lol"

and then we connect this with the following 3 things -> http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox & http://www.mondonet.org & http://villagetelco.org/

and we `re in Paradise


I personally would be ready to pay my pod hoster 1 btc a month (equal to 2,5$ price) for doing his job well & securing my data and personal informations..the more my profile & data is worht..the more i must pay or delete it and maybe go to another pod..

would create an market for pod hosters and initiative to strenghten the network and to create more and more pods..with ever tighter security mechanisms....

just my thoughts ..hopefully somebody can understand them

and can even form then into simple and an good explanatory text..and elaborate on this ..

it`s worth a bounty to me ..and then we send it to the Diaspora team

anybody understands what i want to say? sorry i am already a bit drunk..great wine here ^^

  Keep it mature everyone, be nice and polite and honest if you will be using their services or not.  I really think if they grasp they could have more business possibly based on accepting this form of currency, it would be good.

Cool ! I recieved an answer from the Diaspora team


My email to them :

Dear DIaspora Team ,
U are realy inspiring me !
Please consider accepting donations in Bitcoin!
As it is a superb example of decentralisation as ur work !!
I am sure many donations will go your way via BTC !
Have a great day !

A great Admirer!

Quote from diaspora:

OK, Ilya, if all these requests for BitCoin don't get us moving on this front, I don't know what will.  PT Jetbrain, feel free to pester Ilya to submission...  




SO WE HAVE AN SPAM MISSION MY FRIENDS

Paypal: doing every thing it can to help bitcoin.

[email protected]

please check the adress!


i dont remmeber it exactly now!

I already sent them a few emails in the past telling them to use bitcoin!

From their TOS:

I am assuming that they mean you can't use Stripe to accept payments for those purposes, but you know what they say about assumptions... "they make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'".

Great, thanks!

I have 2 developer contact e-mails, but sent the following to  questions _at_ joindiaspora_com:

Edit: should have proof-read e-mail here before sending it.

Errata:

• "poster" -> "posters"
• "proof-of-word" -> "proof-of-work"
