Topic: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits - page 105. (Read 262771 times)
Sounds like a good plan - I'm in (max. 100 BTC)!
CoinLab would like to pledge a minimum of 1BTC for the first 100 charities. We will pass the hat around the office and we will likely donate more to charities we especially want to support.
We may choose not to donate to charities which engage in discriminatory practices or are politically controversial.
This is a wonderful project. We look forward to joining with the rest of the Bitcoin community and making a positive impact on our communities.

Thank you, CoinLab, for your kind contribution. The OP list has been updated with your pledge and caveat(s). All will be able to opt out of donating to any charity that doesn't meet their standards, regardless what those standards may be. The fine details of how this will be accomplished shall be made available to all those who have pledged prior to asking for making good on their respective pledges.
Currently, only one more pledge is needed to have a full deck--52 pledges. I hope somebody pledges, so that I can seal the deck.

I'm in. 1 BTC (max 100).
Way to go, GoWest! The OP list has been updated reflecting your kind pledge.
We're officially at 50 pledges (48 + 99 & 100--see OP list for clarification), thus marking the halfway point in getting at least 100 pledgers. Now that the hard part is behind us, who else is ready to pledge? But please, folks, do me a favor. Don't everyone pledge at once, for it does take a little effort on my part updating the pledge list in the OP. That said, have it! Make my ass work!

Heh, I bet they're looking for a hash of which all the bytes taste like pizza 
Here, all the pizza taste like hash (yes, pizza is on the menu there):
I was shocked last night when my pizza was delivered. I was expecting a pizza guy, but it was a pizza girl. Cute thing. I wanted to so badly...wait for it...ask her if she was the one who took my call and answered my Bitcoin question. I would have love to talked to her all night about Bitcoin but, I guess, some things aren't meant to be. BTW, the pizza was pretty good. I have leftovers for the drive home. Nothing like cold pizza and old musty smelling wood.
Heh, I bet they're looking for a hash of which all the bytes taste like pizza
Shameless bump.
All because I'm still in Ohio for another night, doesn't mean you shouldn't pledge or comment on this thread. I'm at Days Inn by the Toledo Airport if anybody wants to buy me a pizza. Better yet, I'll order my own pizza and ask if they accept Bitcoin.
Pause...
I just asked the young girl (allow me to assume she's young, but over 18) if they accept Bitcoin. She said no, but I'm the second one who's asked in the past two or so weeks. That helps make Bitcoin so frickin' promising! Now, I have to wait a hour for my pizza. I then asked her why so long and she replied that they need five confirmations before they start making it (maybe I made that last part up). I'm now picturing them hashing my pizza together, readying it for placement into the steampunk Bincoin mining rig oven. My only hope is that my pizza doesn't touch the strawberries on the conveyor belt. I've read threads about this kind of thing happening.
If you enjoyed this post, consider pledging. If nothing else, at least commit. And if you don't know what to say, allow me to assist you: Great idea, Bruno! You are so AWESOME! Remorsefully, I don't expect to see that post but, then again, stranger things happened on this forum.

Just to clarify... merely Canadian, we love our hockey.
Sheesh! Eh?
Pass me a beer, hosehead.

Sheesh! I figured that! Eh? But, for the life of me, I can't figure out what your plans are the poor bear. Hopefully, hosehead is not the clue.
If it's a list of 100, how come there are spots over 100 available? 
Post #128 addresses your concern quite eloquently. Hope you're considering to pledge.

Because it's at least 100 ^^
I would like to pledge a Bitcoin for the sake of charity.
Thank you kindly, Nicolai Larsen, for your pledge. The OP list has been updated.
We're (not I, for this is a group thingy) still 1 pledge shy of 50 total pledgers. Note that pledge number 77 and 69 (although this list number is at a premium pledge amount, requesting at least 2 BTC--anybody game?) are still available, as well as 101 and 111, or any other spot that may tickle your fancy.

Unremorseful bump. Soon, I'll be on the road. When I log back in, I hope to see another pledge.
See post #123 (above): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.630636
The sooner, the better, for I have a unique way in mind to start funding the slush pool (for lack of a better term).
In a couple hours, I'll be heading out to Toledo, Ohio, to pick up a load of lumber. Therefore I won't be able to update this thread until I'm in a hotel room early this evening.

Put me in for 1 per charitable organization max 50
Thank you, coblee, for your kind pledge. The OP has been updated reflecting your request.
He was born in a crossfire hurricane... hey Phinn!
Put me on the list, but only if I'm the 99th pledge... it's a Gretzky thing.
FF
PS. 1 coin per pledge adjustable to current market rates lol

Dittos! Done and updated.
Do you realize how hard it was to find a small image of him to post it here? Who the hell is this guy?
34. freequant (1 Per C.O. ~ No Max Stated /\/\ An additional 100 BTC pledge to the Red Cross & Unicef if/when they get on-board)
Gasp, I forgot to set the stop loss 
.Let's put the initial max at 100 BTC.
Updated, freequant.
Remember, folks, that setting a max is not required, but highly appreciated. Just by pledging 1 BTC, you'll more than done your part. Everything else will take care of itself.
Special Note: What I've found amazing is that all the pledges to date seem sincere. I believe I see no trolling or other falsehoods on this thread. That's a blessing in and of itself.
Thank you, all, for doing your part to date.

REQUEST!
Since I haven't heard from Roger or Gavin, I need somebody that the community trusts at large to have control of a Bitcoin wallet address, at least until that position is maintain by an individual full time in the very near future. I've already stated that I will not be in charge of the funds because, quite frankly, I WILL SPEND IT ON OLD MUSTY SMELLING LUMBER. A volunteer or drafting a willing person is what I'm requesting. This may be a fine position for a woman in filling. Remember that thread on how to get woman on board? Only an obscure thought. But, come to think of it, a person in charge of making the decisions at these charitable organizations may be more prone to agree to our offer if a woman made the presentation. Hmmm!

I've just noticed I appear twice on your list at 17 and 40 (1740 by a bizarre coincidence was the year the Marquis de Sade was born - I'd like to contribute twice but charity and Sadism are a bad mix)
Ain't that special! Now I have to go back, starting with #18 and change all the numbers. Then I have to reread this thread to see how it happened so that it never happens again. This is so embarrassing!
Also, in 1740, George Whitefield founded the Bethesda Orphanage. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider your position before I make the time-constraint adjustments?
The next post will consist of thanking the most recent pledgers and addressing posts.

You could just leave it as it is with an addendum and call it the Bitcoin101-1
It was a simple fix of which I knew it would be but wanted to make it sound like it was a complicated task on my part. Already corrected, as you can well see in the OP. Thank you kindly, dancupid, for bringing your error to my attention.
http://www.bitcoin-charity.com/ is very good at what they do and how they do it. Everyone reading this should take a quick look, or re-look if the case may be, and consider giving a tad. I just donated 1.0025 (odd amount because I wanted to have my wallet even) to Doctors Without Borders. nmat, or whoever is monitoring this, will be able to verify that I did such.
I'm aware that there may be other charity-type sites up and running, but remember that Bitcoin100 is designed to be more than just another charitable enterprise. Its main goal is to aid in the awareness of Bitcoin via having charitable organizations implementing a Bitcoin donation option on their respective websites. The hope is that by offering a bone (a minimum of 100 BTC), they'll be more inclined to consider the option. Although simple in mind and on paper, the task in hand to get this fully operational requires work. Work that I'm proud to be a part of.

I don't monitor it. I was just reminding people that it exists, in case someone wants to donate right away to some of the institutions
In case you are eager to donate, you can already send bitcoins to several charity institutions through http://www.bitcoin-charity.com. I have donated to a few of them. Here is a list of the institutions they support:

Doctors without Borders
Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Electronic Frontier Foundation
The Humane Society of the United States
American Red Cross
Prostate Cancer Foundation
Plant-It 2020
UNICEF
