This wasn't a charity, this was someone trying to start a copycat service. There really is no need for one, unless they want to have different rules (or take the money), since Bitcoin100 is very open with letting people help and get donations sent.

I didn't know nothing about BTC100 before I bought the domains. Only after I chanced upon this thread. Perhaps buy my domains? Or see if BTC100.com is available.

Thanks for clarifying things Rassah and as stated I wish you guys all the best (and don't for a second regret the donations that I made which all went to good causes AFAICT).

Maybe I missed something with the whole documentary thing going on as I have never heard of this one before that post - I thought only Bruno was to be contacting the charities on behalf of Bitcoin 100 and so this didn't seem right to me.

Nope. Anyone can contact charities. It's actually encouraged, since there's so few of us, we're typically busy, and really the only rule is, "Get a charity to accept Bitcoin donations, we send them $1,000." That's about it.

It just seems to have veered off from *charities* which was where it started - I am sorry if my post was wrong (although I don't appreciate being questioned as to whether I am "high") - feel free to ask a mod to delete both those posts (his response to my post doesn't make him look so good either).

I was one of the first to donate and did so 3 times but I just don't think this thing is working like it used to (and am not keen on the "new way").

Hope this clarifies things.

..not that I am aware of.
At least the BUND charitie was contacted and "aquired" by one of us users here.

In any case I have now given up on this organisation and wish you all the best of luck.

Hmm.. Care to explain?

At my instigation, Bratislava, Slovakia's Institute for Economic and Social Studies, a registered non-profit organization (občianské združenie) has begun accepting Bitcoin donations:

What has this got to do with Bitcoin 100?

You do know that it is very poor netiquette to advertise in a thread such as this?

uhm..
The point is to get NGOs to accept Bitoin donations. We collect 1000$ (100BTC before) worth of bitcoins to get them started.
He, Mike, got a registered non-profit organization to accept Bitcoin donations. I think he now asks for the 1000$ in Bitcoin to be donated to them, from Bitcoin100, and rightfully so.

What is your point, Ciyam?

Are you high?

No - but it seems that Bitcoin 100 has become derailed anyway so feel free to keep at it then.

The whole point is to motivate non-profits to accept Bitcoin. I did that, and here I am posting about it both to document it and to call the organizers' attention to it.

Although the off-topic post from a newbie (sorry Jr. member) was correctly called out by edd I think that the problem wrt donations going to charity or to other things such as documentary films needs to be nipped in the bud.

Rather than argue about the merits one way or the other about such things what I think should be done is fairly simple - create separate donation addresses for each "target" and forget the Bitcoin1oo vanity address (I would be much happier to donate in the future if I know what it is that I am donating towards).

FYI, it's not proper netiquette to hijack a competitor's thread to promote your own service.

I was asking for help!

Huh

It would still be more appropriate to start your own thread. Discussing your site here detracts from discussion of Bitcoin100.

I'm wondering if this is something that the people who originally donated the money would all approve of. True, $1,000 USD is only about BTC13 now - a fraction of the BTC100 we originally planned to distribute to each charity - but still, this does stray a bit from part of the initial goal, which was to convince charities that accepting Bitcoin is beneficial to them (global donations, no fees, no chargeback risks, etc).

You are right about that, it is not the initial goal of btc100, although it is indeed a good cause.
I sent more Bitcoins than were used, so you may use some/all of mine for the documentory. You have a better overview on the funds though, your (Rassah/Bruno) decision.

I'd feel better if 100 individuals agreed to donate a fixed amount, say 0.25 BTC. I think it makes more sense to measure things in BTC and to refer to "100" in some way even if 100 BTC is no longer practical.

I've begun to build BTC Aid (www.btcaid.org) a Bitcoin chairty very similar to Bitcoin100.

I need ideas and input, I can hopefully get a few well renowned people from the UK on board.
