Topic: Bitcoin 100 has run its course. This is the rebate thread. - page 4. (Read 4799 times)
No rush, just want to make sure the accounting is correct, thanks!
Just want to note that I was not paid.
I just saw that a few minutes ago when I started updated the list linking BTC to txIDs. Please rest assured that you'll be paid as soon as Rassah comes back online, for I'll be sending him a PM shortly about this issue among any other anomalies to date of which I've yet to see sans him not yet paying himself. If you desire the moneys ASAP, please, please, please, PM me, whereupon I'll pay you, then get refunded. Just call me Mr. Fixit.
Just want to note that I was not paid.
Furthermore, to quasi-satisfy OgNasty (re: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16678168), I'll personally donate $100 USD to https://www.centraltexasfoodbank.org/bitcoin.
Wow. That is awesome. Thank you Phinnaeus Gage. As I stated, you didn't need to do anything to satisfy me but this does make me happy.
As promised, I've remitted a $100 donation to CTFB, verified if you click their bitcoin page linked above. I've also sent BurtW 0.4378 BTC as promised to CornedBeefHash.
Now onto double-checking txs and plugging in links, then sending out follow-up PMs. Seriously, this is cutting into my scam-busting time, with Hashing24 now on my radar thanks, again, due to Cointelegraph's ineptness, i.e. accepting their 0.4 BTC press release fee sans doing their promised due diligence in protecting the community, but I digress.
Happy, happy, joy, joy UPDATE, all: The first wave of rebates have been remitted as seen here: https://blockchain.info/address/1BTC1oo1J3MEt5SFj74ZBcF2Mk97Aah4ac.
In a few minutes, I'm gonna double-check (yous, too, do the same) all the txs and link according as outlined in the OP. Afterward, I'm going to send out the first wave of follow-up PMs to all those who've yet to reply. That means you, too, again, The Joint, whom I took it upon myself to PM him twice to date for non-nefarious personal reasoning.
Shortly, I'll also be taking care of a couple promised remittances outlined earlier in this thread.
All that said, I wish to thank Rassah for taking the time to do his part. Please consider thanking him publicly and/or privately as well, all. He's a good guy in this space. I guess same so for edd, in spite of him letting bitcoin.org lapse.
(seriously, edd's a very fine gent in spite of ... okay, I'll quit)
Was ready to post the above when saw that Rassah posted, with one aspect I'll address (though already have):
I will most definitely double- and tripe-check everything, with virtually all the info made public for all to peruse. Not quoted, but surprised to read that you're an Uber dude. Do you do such with the Prius Bitcoinmobile?
You go and rest now, kitty, while I put in another couple hours in this winding-down process.

Hi guys. First batch went out: https://blockchain.info/tx/901736b274a8f41b3914365cb6b5c9cba6f81bd97e8fbc9e9837221635ea65cc
Bruno, update who was sent to so we don't accidentally double-send.

It was a pleasure to work with you, and to work on Bitcoin100. I apologize for letting it slide so badly after taking it over. Honestly, just tracking the funds and dealing with charities was a huge job, where every time I sat down to reconcile funds, answer new email requests, and help charities get set up, it was an 8+ hour span of work, and even one or two days of that was getting too much with my other full time jobs. I started dreading sitting down to do it, and unfortunately no one else offered to step up and take over. Being in charge of the money, I also worried about any issues of conflicts of interest, where I both choose whom to donate to, and have the money to donate. It would have been too easy for me to donate to a charity I pick which gives me a kickback in return. Not that I would consider doing such a thing, but I wanted this project to be as honest and transparent as possible, and this would muddy the waters in a way that couldn't be proven to be true or not.
Anyway, thank you Bruno for setting up the project, I have been very happy to be involved, and this is a good way to wind it down. With regards to money going my way, although I kinda need money myself, I'll probably redirect it elsewhere anyway. Plenty of people who need it more than I do (plus I can always just spend a few extra nights driving for Uber/Lyft to make up any shortfalls)

Thank you Bruno, and I INSIST ABSOLUTELY that you divert 10% to your own private address for your long and honorable work. I'd do it after the fact, but I want to avoid additional transaction fees.

Thank you so kindly, LightRider, but akin to CornedBeefHash doing similar, your INSIST has been vetoed, opting to redonate the 10% to Rassah, with such course of action now included on the table in the OP.
I tried to include the now-slightly-altered following in the OP, but I kept getting that pesky BBCODE error, so it's now at the top of the second post of this thread:
Quote
Quick Edit: Any and all donations to me have been and will continue to be redonated to Rassah for his efforts which equals or surpasses my efforts during the course of Bitcoin 100. With that said, consider stating allocations directly to him on this thread or via PM if not planning on doing such directly, along with considering donating to the NPO's we've endowed which still accept bitcoin donations (the annotated list is on the OP above).
Due to personal matters (nothing draconian), Rassiah has yet to commence the remittance process, coupled with him texting me the other day that he was having troubles accessing BitcoinTalk [like everybody else has]. Rest assured that funds will start flowing shortly.

To deter errors during the remittance process, the following [updated/current] abbreviated table has been PM'ed to Rassah, of which coincides with the full table found in the OP (

Hey, Phin, don't you show the new badge I gave you to replace your worn off private BTC detective badge? You should. Bitcoin100 is one of the few endeavours that deserves a badge like that  FWIW, at least you didn't give me the red one below.  But whatever, and I guess a thanks is still in order, bud, for the spirit of which it was sent along with its meaning is valuable.

Maybe he can buy an extra Christmas present for his little one to help wash away the memory of government nazis. I will get her an extra present and thank you very much!Update on daughter: last year (4th grade) the teacher asked all the kids in the class to research a topic of concern, create a presentation and present it to the class. Most of the kids presented typical 4th grade topics of concern (cruelty to animals, recycling, etc.). Her presentation was "Stop the Madness: Civil Asset Forfeiture". She gave her presentation to the class including details of my arrest, etc. Interestingly she said many of her classmates flat out did not believe her and accused her of making the whole thing up. This year the students in her class have all been tasked with presenting a civics lesson of some kind. I can't wait to see what she does. Haha, you're raising another one to help us fight the good fight. I love it! PS: Sorry for the off topic Bruno. It's my last, I promise. Post whatever you wish, bud. The self-moderation was only put in place to deter derailments of the welcoming kind, with even some of those I'll be somewhere fair with. The truth be known, I would have to go through a learning curve to learnt how to delete a post in a self-moderated thread given I've never done such prior. Burt's daughter in 6th Grade giving a talk: Today's talk is about Satoshi Nakamoto. Before I begin, how many of my fellow classmates use bitcoins? Great! It looks like everybody does. Satoshi Nakamoto is ... That's great Bruno, you're a saint. I'm glad Burt will get a little extra.

FYI, OP says "INVALID BBCODE". I PM'd you my address. Thanks for organizing this. Yeah, just saw that myself, bud. Posted a quick update in the OP then went to the bathroom sans checking the revision. qxzn, you've been included on List of Bitcoin 100 Contributors in the OP since very shortly after you first PM'ed me. In re the anomaly, all I did was add a warning about bitcoin.org not being a safe site according to my assessment since it's no longer in our control thanks to that retard edd.  EDIT: Weird! I can't include the following in the OP for some unknown reason even if I reword it, thinking at first that the BBCODE wrapped around WARNING! was the issue. WARNING! bitcoin100.org is no longer in our control, controlled by some other entity that may have incorporated malware (or the like) which may effect operating devices. My last (recent) visit seems to verify my assessment. Ironically, it was my discovery by happenstance that caused theymos to change some code on this forum - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/important-there-may-be-a-glitch-on-this-forum-serious-accidentally-uncovered-1526858 - hence his solution --> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15364958 now generating INVALID BBCODE on occasion. Unfortunately, when I brought the above to attention, it was uncovered that I am one of the original first ten Cypherpunks, and if you believe that, I suggest you mortgage your home so to purchase as much as possible of Chantha Owen Lueung and Leroy Fodor's RateCoin.  EDIT: This is so weird! I can't even post the following [as written] in the OP at the top of the page: is no longer in our control, controlled by some other entity that may have incorporated malware (or the like) which may effect operating devices. My last (recent) visit seems to verify my assessment For all intents and purposes, the following will have to suffice [added in the OP]: WARNING!: bitcoin100.org is no longer in our control. The current site may be unsafe. EDIT: Now I can't add the following after the above in OP without generating the BBCODE warning: See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16691275.
