Thank you, Rassah. I know you've been busy and all, so the efforts you put in as we wind down Bitcoin 100 is that much more appreciated.

An error occurred in the last remittance but was quickly resolved, thanking the party involved for returning the overpaid bitcoins. Apologies for not mentioning names, but the info can easily be gleaned via rudimentary blockchain forensics. A Neanderthal could do it (with apologies to any Neanderthals in the house).

We've reached the threshold where subsequent payouts need to be adjusted affecting the remaining 25 donors listed on the remittance table in the OP. The new payout is 0.368 BTC returned per 1 BTC originally donated due to adjustments of the first outlays that were quasi-expected expressed in the OP. Not too drastic of a decrease, but for what it's worth, the dollar equivalent is currently higher than when this remittance processed was first introduced thanks to the increase in the exchange rate. I'm sure that none of the late comers who hopefully reply by Christmas Eve will have any qualms with their unexpected reward.

Since sethsethseth replied prior to this change, he'll still be awarded 0.4378 BTC if he's able to verify his user account by Christmas. I'm surprised that he hasn't logged in lately so that I can continue the process already started, completing what I feel is a straightforward verification.

Shortly, I'll be sending PMs to the remaining 25 users mentioned expressing the change. Barring unknowns, the revised ratio to said remaining original donors will be satisfied proportionally, leaving scant bitcoins in our coffer if all of them reply/comply. If not, the NPOs Unsung and The Water Project will be endowed with any remaining bitcoins come Christmas Day as outlined in the OP.

The timestamp of this post acts as the start of the revision expressed above in case any of the remaining 25 donors reply between then and when they receive their next follow-up PM from me in re Bitcoin 100's rebate process.

Thank you.

IMPORTANT EDIT: This is the original post [below the horizontal line], albeit formatted incorrectly due to simply conducting a copy/paste. Reason: I was in edit mode so to glean the top of the table code to be incorporated in a new post, but opted to delete everything and construct my new post in the near-blank space instead, posting it once completed, falsely thinking that I was in quote mode. Boy, you should've seen the look on my face when I realized that this was my third fuckup for the year.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes It would've only take me a few minutes to reconstruct it where no one will be any the wiser, but I didn't want to, so there!  Tongue



@ Rassah: Ricochet and k (both users) have passed muster, leaving only sethsethseth that I currently need to verify, hence the latter's not on the list below. I've already informed all the parties below that you'll get to their remittance by tomorrow, no later than two days from now. Hopefully seth... will be verified by then so that I can include him for the next outlay.

EDIT: gsan has replied, thus I've added him to the list along with his BWA and the sum of 2 BTC he's more than happy to have remitted to him (paraphrased), further expressing his intent of donating some of the moneys to Bitcoin related projects, whereupon my reply included a link to the 5th post of this thread depicting NPOs we've endowed who currently still accept bitcoin donations. sethsethseth is still going through the verification process. (EDIT: I've stumbled upon seth's other Web presence and should have no prob getting him verified via one of them outlets)

EDIT: meanig is currently going through a verification process, hence holding off on including his address below, albeit it is on the table in the OP. Approved! Thanks to theymos on this one. Only leaves sethsethseth, easy to approve as soon as he logs in again, unless ...

EDIT: I've added the joint to the list.

EDIT: fizzisist just replied and should have no problem confirming without any help from theymos at this penning. Approved! Here's the proof I indirectly requested: http://fpgamining.com/bruno.html

I'm holding off on having Rassah remit to Ricochet and k till theymos gets back to me after checking for anomalies. Ironically, in re both user accounts I'm unable to make an assessment on my own via formulating some sort of test(s). I have added their addresses et al. to the table in the OP but, again, holding off on remittance by Rassah.

TBC, I've PM'ed theymos and the two parties (separately, no CC), quasi-feeling bad for making theymos work, but moreover for having the two users wait, but it is what it is due to past hacks of this forum, with apologies.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO RASSAH: In case we cross paths in the next couple minutes, I'm now adding DiThi's name et al. to the table because he just confirmed that he is the true owner of his account on this forum. I'll cross this out and further amend this post once his name is added and I PM you. The time is 5:12 PM CST on 11/5/16. DONE!

@Rassah (also will PM): I've added MaxSan to the bottom of the list of names you've yet to remit, for he just weighed in. DiThi also replied submitting his address but I'm holding off inclusion till he passes a simple test I devised due his user account laying dormant since 2014, an action I take on all long-time dormant user accounts to help deter nefarious actors gaming the system. Different tests/requests apply to different users, with theymos acting as a backup to look into things if need be, not yet bothering theymos in regard to DiTHi.

EDIT: DiTHi has been confirmed, thus his name is now included below, Rassah.

Rassah, please remit to the following users:

See how everything came out with the organofcorti episode after I threatened to lash him in bold from the reply PM he sent me (including the PM I sent him):

Hey, organofcorti. With apologies, because of an error on my part, I've instructed Rassah to refund you an incorrect amount of bitcoins. Please read the following post outlining the chain of events which lead up to the unfortunate discovery: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16778527

In the post you'll read that we're formally requesting a refund of 2.189 BTC, but I expressed that you keep 5% of that - 0.10945 BTC - for your honestly et al., thus remitting back 2.07955 BTC.

To be clear, I'm boiling water now to prepare al dente noodles in case I need to administer 500 lashes in the unlikely event you don't comply.  Grin Grin Grin I duly look forward to your reply. Again, apologies for the error on my part for the erroneous overpayment.

Regards,

Bruno

Sent you the full amount back, no need for an honesty reward.

Cheers,

ooc.

Ooops, i just realised I unintentionally sent you back 0.001 less than I should have. Sorry bud!



Here's the tx: https://blockchain.info/tx/cc0fac152c236fc9ee5a78323563a18d46d02f977d210098df014a68bda620b9

Now, as long as nobody tells Rassah that we're 0.001 BTC short, I'll be in his good graces for hopefully till Christmas.

Funnies aside, thank you so kindly organofcorti for doing what you did. Myself, I wasn't sweating it, but Rassah being a pussy (see his avatar  Tongue) may have gotten a tad queasy because of the unfortunate event, for which I apologize is such was the case. Like I've said on a many occasions, publicly and privately, Rassah's a good guy.

Bruno

PS: Most likely Rassah will get to the next refunds outlined in my last post(s) above tomorrow (Saturday) given that he probably was only waiting on a confirmation from me. No new names have been added because no further PMs/posts have been submitted since its penning.

I didn't think I would ever have a reason to log back in here.  Thank you for all the effort put in Bruno and Rassah, and for closing it out properly.  I'll PM an address.

gnar1ta$ PM'ed me (and cc Rassah) expressing that he had donated another 5 BTC over and beyond the 3 BTC that I had documented on the table in the OP depicting the list of donors, offering up proof of said claim. I immediately found the error which was on my part. gnar1ta$' tx was https://blockchain.info/tx/b5286f65828657fbb672e8b7f5d55d5e2adb58c62ece8f3e2a0494d46230f571 with the timeframe virtually coinciding with a reply from organofcorti which I misinterpreted here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1403217

Quote
I'll pledge another btc for the next 5. How many charities so far?

I misconstrued such as an actual donation oppose to just a pledge, but credited organofcorti for the 5 BTC donation sans verifying the txID on Rassah's ledger during a subsequent once/twice-over prior to the creations of this thread.

The following pic depicts crediting organofcorti for a 5 BTC donation:



The following pic depicts the erroneous sum total of the 1 BTC which organofcorti truly did donated and the 5 BTC donated by gnar1ta$:



The solution will be that gnar1ta$ will be immediately paid his awardment the next time Rassah sends out remittances, and I'll be sending organofcorti a PM with a link to this post along with expressing the error on my part, whereupon he'll remit back to Bitcoin 100's coffer the overpayment. Of special note, to date organofcorti had yet to spend any part of his awardment (which is neither here nor there), and I'll offer him a 5% retainage for doing the right thing, in essence returning 2.189 - 0.10945 (5%) = 2.07955 BTC. I'm pretty sure that I didn't need to the include the incentive, but opted to nonetheless.

We'll see what happens.

After I send said PM, I'll be sending Rassah another PM with a new list of user names who've remitted addresses.

Received thank you all!

We want our moneys back because you omitted a comma along with other grammatical errors in your reply.  Tongue Tongue Tongue

All follow-up PMs have been sent, resulting in a couple more users responding, with one user I had call me to verify he was him given the amount of time his account laid dormant. Just a heads-up to any nefarious actors thinking that they may be able to game the system, with theymos expressing privately (on his own accord) that he's there if needed as well.

First you forgot LightRider, now you forgot thomkaufmann's remittance. Don't think for a second, Kitten, that this community doesn't know exactly what you're up to - at the end of the day [come Christmas], you're gonna buy yourself a new coffee table with the funds from the last user that you'll conveniently forget to remit.  Tongue Tongue Tongue Seriously, just an oversight, folks.  Cool

The above txs have been included in the table found in the OP.

I just heard this news today - what a bummer.  There was over 109 BTC in the wallet until just recently.  Obviously you've made your decision, but it's too bad it couldn't continue until the wallet ran dry.  It was only this year that I started to pitch Bitcoin 100 to local non-profits, only to discover it was basically over.

It's now going to be a lot harder to overcome objections to non-profits accepting bitcoin.  "Why should we jump through all these hoops?" would get wiped away as an objection if a $1,000 donation was in the offering.  

Would have been cool if this could continue, but thank you for doing it for as long as you did and as successfully as you did.   Cool

Thank you for your sentiment, Ian, with apologies for Bitcoin 100 not running a fuller course that you've envisioned, but as you can see we no longer had the bitcoin100.org domain damain, thus no site, let alone not having an official charter (virtually a mute issue, but just the same), etc. Most everybody agrees that Bitcoin 100 was instrumental in one capacity or another in advancing Bitcoin proper via the NPO space where mostly needy charities were endowed. I'd say that BitPay's Tony Gallippi saw the potential using bitcoins in the NPO space thanks to more than in part (my assessment) of Bitcoin 100's success, thus his sister starting up BitGive, in turn they being instrumental in The Water Project accepting bitcoins which we endowed, and hopefully will again come Christmas along with Jason King's Unsung with projected remaining funds in our coffer, so that come December 26, 2016, we'll be bone dry.

No rush, just want to make sure the accounting is correct, thanks!

The accounting is fine and everything looks perfect so far sans you unfortunately being left out. I'm for certain that Rassah went by the previous table I PM'ed him, missing the last one I sent which included your vitals. We merely crossed paths - I sent after/during he was already in remitting mode (that's my assessment).

I just finished linking BTC to txIDs in the table currently at the top of the third post of this thread till I put it back in the OP at the top of the fold. Moved due the 64K posting limitations.

Next task, follow-up PMs. NOTE! - I won't be updating the below, with all updates to the table easily found in the OP. The below table was only included to depict the first round of remittances. (edited on 11/4/16, noonish CST).



The BTC in the last column have all been paid if linked:
