Bitcoin 100's remuneration process is officially close to any users who've once donated to the cause but failed to reply to any of the four PMs I've personally sent them. jake262144 is the only user needing to be verified, in which his chances look good thanks to theymos' efforts.
EDIT: Tomorrow, the 24th (12/2016), is the last day we'll accept PM or post replies from users who've kindly donated to Bitcoin 100 over the years. Again, apologies to any of those unfortunate enough to miss the remuneration process. Looks like Unsung and The Water Project will both be equally endowed with a handsome donation.
UPDATE: The refund amount is now 0.368
BTC per bitcoin originally donated to Bitcoin 100 for the last 25 donors listed below who've yet to reply to the initial and first follow-up PMs. This rate will only change if some unforeseen event raises its ugly head. To date (11/15/16), no posts have been deleted from this self-moderated thread.
Note to users whose accounts have sat dormant for a spell: Expect to jump through a minor hoop or two so to verify you are the original owner of said account whom donated to Bitcoin 100 now seeking remunerations. It'll be I, Bruno, conducting the test(s) with theymos acting as a backup if his assistance is required.
Quick Edit: Any and all donations to me have been and will continue to be redonated to Rassah for his efforts which equals or most likely 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 at the top of the 5th post -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16668096).
NOTE: The OP will be amended due to reaching the 64K posting limit. All the content will still be available on the OP, and second and third post of this thread unless other issues arise, whereupon an update will provide directions. The current major change is that the table depicting users addresses et al. is at the top of the third post of this thread, with intent of moving it back here once I complete amending it, moving the list of charities to either the second or third post. Apologies for any confusions, but rest assured that all relevant content will not be change, just rearranged is all.EDIT: Where all the tables and major lists are located, moved from original location(s) due to the forum's 64K posting constrains:

Rest assured that I haven't deleted any of the original content with the exception of correcting grammatical errors and clearing up the text reflecting the locations of the above (said task now complete). To date (11/3/16), nary a post has been deleted from this self-moderated thread.
That should take care of all the major housecleaning, with the only ongoing edits to the OP being that of updating the List of Donators as they remit their addresses, subsequently linking their corresponding remitted
BTC to a txID.
Firstly, to address why this thread is self-moderated, it's to control any unnecessary drivel from my formidable fanbase, in which they're more than welcome to start their own thread(s) related to this topic et al., reserving this thread for those (for the most part) who've directly contributed to Bitcoin 100 interested in remunerations and the process thereof put forth.
tl;dr: If you're a listed Bitcoin 100 contributor (see list below), submit your current active bitcoin wallet address on this thread and/or PM me via the same user account utilized when you originally donated to Bitcoin 100, whereupon your refund will be processed in a timely manner. Contacting users via PMs began after starting this thread.
A brief history: Bitcoin 100 was created by me on
November 22, 2011, with the intent (subsequently successful) of bringing further awareness to Bitcoin via endowing bitcoins to the then current non-cryptocurrency-accepting charitable organizations once they formally embedded a Bitcoin button (or the like) on their respective websites for the acceptance of bitcoin donations. Bitcoin 100's
bitcoin wallet address was only accessible by
Rassah, with
Roger Ver provided the private key(s) in case of a proverbial bus incident. Not one satoshi entrusted to us was ever intentionally misappropriated nor did any of Bitcoin 100's core administrators (myself; Rassah;
edd) ever receive any form of monetary compensation toward our volunteered efforts or for maintaining Bitcoin 100 - viz. the now defunct bitcoin100.org - during the past five years.
WARNING!: bitcoin100.org is no longer in our control. The current site may be unsafe.
Since its inception, Bitcoin 100 endowed exactly 83 NPOs, most of which priorly were not familiar with Bitcoin specifically, let alone cryptocurrencies (or blockchain technologies) in general. Those 83 entities, depicted
in the second [significant] table below the fold at the top of the 5th post of this thread (moved to its current location) -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16668096 - received exactly 681.74286264
BTC valued near-$83K USD when endowed, with 49 of them still accepting bitcoin donations (some now accepting other
cryptos) to this very day. The last charity endowed was
Northern California DX Foundation over a year ago on
July 22, 2015, which brings us to today where Bitcoin 100 still has
109.46781528 BTC in its coffer, the last anonymous [dust] donation of 0.00010168
BTC ($0.05 USD) contributed on
January 12, 2016.
Given that the majority of the most recent (and periodically over the years) suggested solution voiced on the
Bitcoin 100 thread and privately as to what to do with the unspent funds is to return them to those who've contributed - a foregone impossibility on a one-for-one [bitcoin] basis - a quasi-ideal resolution that's reasonably fair and likely acceptable by most donors needed to be formulated.
And that's exactly what I believed I've accomplished over the course of the past couple weeks, in which the first three posts of this thread should bear evidence to that fact of dedicating said timeframe to, again, achieving an equitable solution.
I've successfully identified 75 contributors (
last table below) along with their exact
BTC [accumulative] contributions over the years, all worthy of receiving an equal share per 1
BTC donated devised by a simple formula upon determining the exact number of bitcoins donated by said 75 donors --> 228.40755654
BTC. That sum reflects what was directly contributed to Bitcoin 100's coffer which does not include any donations made directly to endowed charities, the latter, understandably, will not be returned partially or otherwise.
In re the
simple formula, of the 109.46781528
BTC, 100
BTC was divided by 228.40755654
BTC equating to 0.4378
BTC (rounded down) returned for every bitcoin donated (including partial
BTC: e.g.
BurtW's [combined] 3.43446733
BTC donation equates to a 1.50360979
BTC allotment), with nary a Bitcoiner receiving less than the USD equivalent originally donated. The 9.46781528
BTC not part of that equation is earmarked toward three other Bitcoiners not included in the accompanied table whose donations were handled separately, albeit a tad shy of what's actually needed, but that, too, is addressed on how such funds are provided for which is the same as for any
sleeper unknowns et al. providing valid claims. A list of verified unknown donations
follows the tables below is in the 5th post of this thread -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16668096 - due to the OP's character count reaching its limit. Echoing, all Bitcoiners deemed remunerations shall receive no less than the USD they've individually donated to the Bitcoin 100 cause. To clarify 'deemed', via logic and general consensus a small handful of donors warranted exclusion from inclusion, where I, alone, was central to the determinations, of which some discussion of such might be entertained.
To assure that all Bitcoiners deemed remunerations are satisfied [as outlined], the last 15.0
BTC (15%) remaining in Bitcoin 100's coffer will be readjusted accordingly. Example: If after exactly 85
BTC of the 100
BTC pool had been remitted leaving exactly 15
BTC, but 37
BTC donated by X Bitcoiners remain outstanding, then the new refundable amount would be 0.4054
BTC per every 1
BTC donated (15/37 = 0.4054
0540).
It's axiomatic that not every refundable Bitcoiner will reply to my wave of PMs (including follow-up PMs and via users' other provided contact options) or see this thread in taking advantage of the windfall within the self-imposed allotted two-month-plus timeframe, namely by Christmas, ergo few, if any, of the materialized claimants will miss out on the slightly more advantageous 0.4378-
BTC-per awardment. On Christmas Day, 2016 (12-25-2016), I purpose that any remaining bitcoins be equally dispersed between Jason King's
Unsung and
The Water Project, the contingency predicated on [if] over $1,000 USD worth of bitcoins is still available, elsewise, barring the unlikelihood, the under-$1,000 balance shall all be donated to
Unsung. I envision that at least a two-grand-plus balance will still be in Bitcoin 100's debit column come Christmas Day in spite of my best efforts in making sure that all concerns have ample time to partake in the reimbursements. Anew, I, alone, resolved that 60-days-plus is considered ample time, serendipitously coinciding with endowing a couple fine charitable organizations on Christmas if all goes according to what's conceptualized.
Due to this forum's 64K character limitation per post, the second and third post depict the breakdown of all the transactions to and from the Bitcoin 100 bitcoin wallet address -
1BTC1oo1J3MEt5SFj74ZBcF2Mk97Aah4ac. The top of the second post includes annotations and notes so to better understand said posts' contents.
Special Note: Once a bitcoin wallet address has been received, it'll be included below, along with the amount of bitcoins to be refunded in the REMITTED column which will be linked to the txID on blockchain.info once processed without exceptions (with apologies to anybody having privacy concerns, thus plan accordingly if an issue).
This table may be moved to the top of this OP once the last two columns are TBD percent populated or the remittance process has commenced. EDIT: Location fixed.
By my discretion, partyp is the only person on the list below deemed receiving their original donation back on a one-for-one
BTC basis (subject to adjustment depending on the exchange rate, regardless will be fair) due to partyp loosing money if adhering to 0.4378
BTC per 1
BTC, coupled with it doesn't break the bank (nor alter the math of any significance) giving him/her an ever so slight profit (comparatively speaking). Not that we wish it, but it's possible partyp may no longer be part of the community given how long he/she's been away, thus perhaps missing out on the awardment. Regardless, a PM has been sent, with follow-up PMs up to Christmas Eve if no replies.
Speaking of follow-up PMs, I'll periodically announce them on this thread, with, perhaps, starting another thread in the appropriate forum section a week prior to Christmas showcasing a complete list of names who've yet to reply.
