Topic: BFL creates new charity project to donate 1000 BTC to [ROFL!] - page 5. (Read 8555 times)
Yeah, BFL are proper scummy! They donated 75 BTC to SeansOutpost to feed the homeless! THE HOMELESS! Can you believe that? What more proof do you need that BFL are scammers and their "charity foundation" is simply their latest scam!
I just took the time to read it and found somebody questioning my integrity pertaining to Bitcoin100.org, therefore I had to reply.
PG you would think BFL would actually donate to your charity huh?
Nope. I wonder why.
About a month ago I received a PM from a bitcoiner who approached Josh with this and in no uncertain terms he said that he wouldn't as long as I was I at the helm, so I stepped down.

Ooooo Gossip.
But it hurt my feelings and made me cry.

You, my friend, don't have a clue. I'm probably one of the few bitcoiners that could be fully trusted.
As seen in the post below this by Rassah, I gave up Bitcoin100 and am working with them for a smooth transition, with myself being part of it in a lesser capacity.
Rassah, who I believe is a very trusty guy, takes care of all the money transactions, with me not being able to touch a single satoshi, as intended when I set it up to show trust.
Currently, I'm out over $100K due to the InstaWallet fiasco, all because I put faith in people I thought I could trust.
I believe you owe me an apology.

Someone mentioned trust. (marketplace trust)
Unfortunate that trust will totally fail us in this situation, as they aren't actively promoting themselves through a specific user name. Inaba is of course the name of the CEO, but unless that was consistently promoted the newbs buying from BFL won't know.

Why not donate a coin or two? To the "More hookers for Sonny & Josh" charity fund:
Finally! someone commenting not on where the 100btc is going, but the fact that BFL are ASKING FOR DONATIONS! That's the real WTF.
They actually managed to twist the words "we will donate" all the way around into "please donate to us"
Guys! You are way to negative!
Look at the comments on Butterfly Labs forum. Theirshills BFL staff faithful customers are quite happy with BFLs "charity project":

OK... This should do it for a scammer tag.
cedivad,
It's refreshing to finally agree with you on something. Today, our cynicisms are parallel.
Whatever as long as cgminer and armory get some, same thing
Well ... I will say I find this thread amusing for a different reason.
It's an argument about what they should do with the 1000BTC - rather than many posts before in other threads about saying they wouldn't do anything
Personally, I do think it's great that they are giving it away, even if it isn't to those that specific people want it to be given.
Hell I'd say yeah why give any of it to Luke-Jr - I can't stand the guy - he is indeed a low life with an agenda.
But that's their choice ... IMO.
It doesn't matter who they give it to, there will be some who claim there are others more deserving of it.
But as for actually giving it away, there certainly is some amount of it that it has happened with so far, and it is easy to see the amount and where it is going by looking at that address

Who knew you could buy people over so easily? One Jally is all that it took to make someone bend. I understand Kano bending to the weight of a jally because he really does only seem to be out to cover his own ass in his own statements. I see it as a mere byproduct that his programming skills are put to good use in the BitCoin Community.
Luke though, as a Christian I can't help but wonder. It took "that little" to make you bend...
Make sure when you both throw stones at each other that it doesn't bounce off your heads and right back at you both.
Very Disappointing.
-------------------------
The only one who has come out clean despite all the "donations" and "gift" giving through programming was cklovias. The funny thing is people call him by his name Con, yet his actions are (as observed) nothing but above par in every respect.
Kano do me a favor, and never show up in the same thread as cklovias. You'd tarnish his name just by being present. Thanks.
Funny. Yes I'm laughing at you - not with you

I wonder if they are bothering to use old coins, or they're just throwing the new ones they made into it......

This conspiracy was debunked a while back. Notice the spike is right in the middle of the continental United States.
Apparently, this is how the data is displayed from all aggregate unknown sources in the US. It is drawn in the middle of the country, which coincidentally just happens to be near our favorite Bitcoin related company.
I'm not convinced of anything anymore. There are already people publicly compromised by money in this situation.
I don't have an issue with BFL giving 50 BTC to Ckolivas and Lukejr for their time and effort coding mining software. I do however have an issue with them making said payments under the guise of a charity donation.
When the initial charity bet was made by BFL, I was under the impression the 1000 BTC would go to a REAL charity that helps people that are of REAL need to be helped. Charities help people in need... people that are starving, people that are thirsty, people that don't have homes, etc.
No offense meant by this, but it doesn't seem like either ckolivas or lukejr fit the mold as people whom a charity would help. It seems like the both have a roof over their heads, food, and water.
I'm disappointed to say the least, but not surprised at all considering we are talking about BFL.

Let me ask this: How will BFL declare these two donations on their tax return forms? Since neither entity is a sanctioned NPO, I doubt it'll be filed as a charitable donation. And since it can't be filed as such, there's still 1000K BTC to be given away to charities that are approved as such in the IRS' eyes.
Looks to me, BFL fucked up again.
yeah but half of these aren't charities at all.. I have no doubt that BFL will bolt before next April to avoid dealing with an impossible tax filing

Would be nice to toss come coins to Breast, Colon, Lung, Liver, and other Cancer Research Organizations.
Every little bit helps.
A friend of mine is going through a second round of battle with Colon Cancer that metastasized in his lungs and liver. Had surgery a week and a half ago to remove three nodules from his lungs. He's going to start on chemo for 6 weeks to shrink the tumor in his liver down to a more operable size before they put him under the knife a third time to cut this batch out. Then resume chemo for a few more months.
Imagine that. Getting Colon Cancer mets in your lungs and liver.
Didn't know cancer worked that way. Blows my freaking mind and learn something new every day.
Cancer fucking sucks.

The thing as a Montessorian and this whole affair is the whole inequity and lack of ethical behavior at every turn and it is shocking given the reality that a 6 year old can and will choose right from wrong each and every day given the right environment. At this point supporting BFL is not really productive for anyone but those with a vested interest in getting mining rigs they were promised delivered. Sickening they have waited this long and it is sickening they will continue to wait.
Honesty and ethics can be part of any environment... all one has to do is choose to be ethical and honest it is simple as that.
In light of your efforts, your words carry significant weight.Honesty and ethics can be part of any environment... all one has to do is choose to be ethical and honest it is simple as that.
BFL? Well, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it never ceases being a pig. (In my opinion)
I take my lead in this community from the following people not in any order.
John K
Everyone on the Avalon Team
Those who continually 'Troll BFL' in order to educate the community about their unethical practices
Those who defend BFL but understand that they are shady and probably unethical (we need balance)
BKKCoins
Makku
Jtimon
Galambo
TheSeven and the team behind the X6500 fpga!
... and many many more people who do give back to this community that I do not know of yet.
The reason so many are pissed is the real beauty of the community. People are not here sitting back and taking the bullshit, they are fighting the hypocrisy in the community. There is also a healthy and respected core of humanity that far out weighs the scammers and douchebags which is pretty much the reality on this planet. Most people are honest, hard working and willing and able to share their knowledge and work and are respected and rewarded for the most part we can obviously do more for the likes for Ckolivas, Bkkcoins, TheSeven and JohnK as well as others who give back to the community. That is where I want to focus my students attention to those who have skills, who give to the community and are respected in their fields. I am just a teacher and I get all the respect I need or crave in the classroom when my students achieve anything.
