Bruno, did you give 100 BTC to Group B Strep International?
No, we're still fighting about it

No, we're still fighting about it
As it stands right now, and I'll already mentioned, Bitcoin 100 is in position to honor 4-5 non-profit organizations at 100 BTC each.

That's not entirely true, since the reason the wallet is so big is largely due to some people pledging and donating a lot at the same time, but only wishing a part of their pledge to go per charity. For example, Zhoutong has sent 100BTC, CryptoXChange sent 50, and an anonymous donor has sent 184BTC, but each only wished to pledge 10, 1, and 10 BTC per charity respectively (I didn't move their donations to separate addresses like with Gsan and Teukon because they didn't request it, and it's easier for me to track them all together). I don't think those people want to fund entire 100BTC charity pledges singlehandedly. Without the people I mentioned who have yet to honor their pledges, we actually have 101.854 BTC ready to donate right now. After that, the next round will probably be around 40BTC, unless we get people honoring again right away.
Er, perhaps spoke to soon. I was under he impression that BTC 100 was 100 people donating a bunch of bitcoin, not a bunch of people donating 100 bitcoin? Some people pledged 1BTC per charity, some as much as 10, so the total pledge amount is 156BTC, of which 101 has been honored to date. See detailed list here http://goo.gl/Mk3hp with pledge info in row 2 columns H and I
For fear of having a major discussion ensue, I offer up the following, quote from the OP of this thread.
Quote
At first, there'll be no need to necessarily donate Bitcoin. What's desired, at the onset, is more than 100 individuals stating that they'll pledge (without having to gift at this stage) at least 1 BTC to Bitcoin100 then, eventually, honoring that pledge toward only causes they're most comfortable with, for this endeavor to fully function accordingly--as I currently envision it. The reason for requiring a minimum of 100 supporters is to guarantee, optimistically, that at least 100 BTC rests in the initial wallet when charitable organizations are ultimately approached.
That said, it's not truly written in stone. The key part is that we desire to give no less than 100 BTC to any non-profit who accepts our terms. Surely, nobody advocates giving the whole wallet to them, thus having to start anew funding a new wallet. As it stands right now, and I'll already mentioned, Bitcoin 100 is in position to honor 4-5 non-profit organizations at 100 BTC each.

I guess now we need to bug the following people to honor the amount they pledged in parenthesis, and have them send it to the 1BTC1oo address along with transaction #. Anyone wana bug them, or should I? Also, should we rename the group to Bitcoin 110? We totally busted through the 100 members figure a wile ago

Great news! I got them to accept Bitcoin donations!
They created a mtgox account and updated this page:

Hip Hip Hooray!

Sent a coin straight to them. Their first one
You may also write me down for the next charity for at least 1BTC.
Thank you kindly for your pledge, P4man, and for donating to http://www.groupbstrepinternational.org/donate.html at their Bitcoin address 1G85cQXETuGeMGvniv5SuMACegCR6L51A5. I have updated the OP of this thread to reflect your pledge as well as adding your name to the list on the official website at http://bitcoin100.org/about/partisans/.
It's about time we have a winner. In future emails we should use this organization as an example to help us get more organizations on board.
I'm ready to help fund the next wallet.

At the moment, there is 458.58064967 BTC in the main wallet, not counting the backup(s). At 100 BTC per non-profit, we're able to kickstart 4 more charities, with a 5th pool jump started.
Let's not forget achive.com as an example, albeit Bitcoin 100 didn't have a direct hand in that, many members and users here contributed generously to that cause.

i took a short glimpse at their website and history and liked it, they seem to have a strong purpose too
Thank you, paraipan, for doing the leg work on that.

Great work! Sent groupbstrepinternational 1 bitcoin.
I must say though.. the progress is glacial. (No thanks to me.. I haven't hassled anyone to accept in a while)
Not long ago - nten.org made a little video about bitcoin, and although it seems like a bit of a 'dig' at bitcoin - It's actually really good that they're aware of it, and the intention really was a mixture of humour and expression of curiosity - not hostility.
See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ntenorg-takes-a-dig-at-bitcoin-58556
nten.org is the Nonprofit Technology Network. It's their job to help nonprofits use technology.
This is the perfect organisation to help charities and other nonprofits understand the value that Bitcoin brings to them.
We really should be reaching out to NTEN so that they in turn can educate their members and help them get set up.

Great, joshbb! Is there any way can you get them to include a Bitcoin logo button, same size as the PayPal button, albeit small but that doesn't matter at all? Otherwise, we're golden.
I think it's right, but wanted to make sure the use of bitcoin above isn't suppose to be capitalized.
Okay, I'll pass those both on!
Thanks, I added them to that list now too!

If you get them to accept Bitcoin, and they are not a political or religious charity (not a church), they will get the sum of all the pledges. I think at this point it's about 145BTC per charity. So, about $600 to $700 of free money just for adding a Bitcoin address to their donation page 
Surprisingly, we still have no takers.

Cool, thanks for the clarification! I'll give em a try and let you know what happens!
The total sum pledged per charity is 146.2 (Cell B1 on my accounting sheet). I'm sure some people won't hold up their pledge because they've forgotten about it by now, but I suspect we'll still get close to that number, anyway.
I guess I'll send a letter to the Freemasons about their charity tomorrow

Perhaps somebody else should take care of contacting any organizations starting with the letter "F" for we've seen what happened with your furry friends, Rassah.

By the way, happy birthday you big, bearded, barnwood toating, glorious BTC100 leader!
Thank you kindly, Rassah, for the wishes. Thank you, CornedBeefHash, for the cake, the only one I got this year, for I was on the road in Ohio and didn't return till the 6th (or was it the 5th
).Btw, LOL! How come no one suggested we try donating to this charity?
http://www.grandcharity.org/pages/donations.html
The irony if they are first to accept would be hilarious! Should I ask them?

The sum isn't written in stone, but it's diffidently not less than 100 BTC no matter what the USD equates out to be.
Somebody donated 184.1995 BTC yesterday
I would assume that that's not supposed to all go to one charity. Bruno? Any PMs about this?
