Topic: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits - page 106. (Read 262771 times)

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:

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.

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)

Gasp, I forgot to set the stop loss  .
Let's put the initial max at 100 BTC.

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

Put me in for 1 per charitable organization max 50

Thank you kindly, Jim, for your contribution.

This is great. The pledgers are now learning to write their own script.


Only 3 more pledges needed to round out the first 50.

If this were NPR, I would be offering a Bitcoin cup as a premium. Since it's not, the best I can do is show you a picture of one.

Im IN.

The Thanksgiving (US) pledge drive is winding down. Only a few hours left to reach the now stated goal of 50 pledgers. We only need 4 more members to simply state "I'm in!" and we'll be there. Don't be shy.

I'm shocked! Simply shocked after reading that there's more than one libertarian on this board. BTW, teukon, I already knew the political stance of most members here.

I've updated the list, reflecting your current request. I'm sure the Pattaya YMCA will appreciate your donation.


My pleasure.


Pledging 2 now is more than enough, Jake. When the time approaches, a PM will be sent to you.


Noted, and updated, Technomage. Thank you kindly for your generosity.

Really?  I would expect most members of the Bitcoin community to be libertarians.  I myself am a libertarian (maybe 85%) and an atheist (100%).

Oh, and you can change my entry to include non-charitable organisations too.

Excellent!  Thanks!

I might just be in possession of a couple of unspent bitcoins rattling around in my wallet willing to do some good.
Count me in.

Don't expect me to be monitoring this thread constantly though; a PM reminder might be in order when need arises.

I want to clarify my earlier pledge. It's 1 BTC per organization, up to 100 BTC. And possibly more than 1 BTC for certain organizations that I'm especially interested in.

Thank you kindly for your pledge, Cory. The OP has been updated to reflect your generosity.

See how easy that was, folks. Totally painless! Cory probably won't even miss enjoying that Happy Meal due his pledge.

What a fantastic idea! Put me down for 2. :)

I took the liberty, MrGaSp, to include you on the list and pledging 1 BTC of which I will provide.

I'm hoping tetra4c allows me to do the same thing for him. Waiting for a reply.

Remember, folks. that this is just the pledging stage. There's no commitment until the donation stage kicks in and you're ready and willing to participate. That said, to get on the list, simply state "I'm in" and you'll be added with the understanding that you're pledging at lease 1 BTC sometime in the future. You'll not be called out if you don't following through because, quite frankly, nobody will know. Ain't Bitcoin beautiful?

Bruno

Thank you kindly, Peter, for your pledge. I took the liberty to posting (5+) as your pledge in reference to your few extra bitcoins statement, coupled with my interpretation of such.

In re, your second sentence. I didn't know there were libertarians on this board. May have to rethink my Bitcoin position now that this relative information has come to light. Seriously, I lean Conservative, but hold many values and political views offered up by the other parties. I even lean towards atheism which would shock my Jehovah Witness friend (if he knew) who stopped by yesterday to witness to me. Afterwards, I'm pretty sure he was somewhat shocked when I ask him to lead us (him and I) in prayer. I say that because I'm also sure he hadn't gotten that request very often by others he's witnessed to.


As BT mentioned (quoted below), the 1 BTC is not written in stone. It will be adjusted when (hell with if or if/when) Bitcoin increase in value. That said, I have you down for 1.5M BTC (only kidding).

Thank you, also, for your very kind pledge, dancupid. The pledge list has been updated to reflect your generosity.

I feel I can work bit-pay into the Bitcoin100 equation, Meni & gigasvps.


And, thank you, teukon, for your kind pledge.

Reservations will be allowed by all those who pledge. The finer details will be worked out so that all know what charitable organization they'll be donating to. Members may even request how they would like to be contacted and updated, differently. For starters, along with this thread, I'll have a Twitter account set up, Facebook, Google+, etc.,--the usual suspects--to keep everyone abreast.

Note to self: Next time keep your ideas to yourself. This is beginning to be a job. But, like McDonalds--I'm Lovin' It!

Bruno

No half-joking at all in this post. #1 is a given. Still working out the minor detail of the notification process, whether it'll be PM, text, email, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc., or a combination of all.

As far as #2, why not? Done!

Yeah, that goes for most people indeed. It was also mentioned in the OP. Shouldn't be a problem, really.
