Topic: Bitcoin100: 2.012 BTC for Ron Paul 2012 - page 3. (Read 4017 times)
I would just like to stress, again, that I have nothing to do with Bruno. He recruited me for managing accounts, and has been working my ass off ever since. All I'm doing is holding the money and freaking out about risks of losing it, since I worry about losing other peoples' money way more than my own.
Not really my cup of tea. Campaign donations just ain't what I signed up for.
Sorry, Bruno, I think I'll pass this one.

Does Ron Paul receive this money in Bitcoins or in USD?
My initial thinking is USD, but this is now open for discussion. How having him accept the donation in BTC would need to be addressed.
Does Ron Paul receive this money in Bitcoins or in USD?
Please Take Note: Although I believe most readers of this post may lean toward a Libertarian viewpoint, don't accept my evaluation as gospel. Some, possible many, readers of this post may not want a damn thing to do with Ron Paul. That said, this thread is then not intended for you.
This thread was solely created to solicit donations toward the Ron Paul for President campaign, of which those over at Bitcoin100 will oversee.
The goal is to have supporters of Ron Paul, each donating only, and exactly, 2.012 BTC toward his campaign fund, and held in a wallet, overseen by Rassah, with the vanity address:
1RP2o12zajgJxnvzu72p33ga7RNg53Ysz
To view what current rests in the wallet, go here: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1RP2o12zajgJxnvzu72p33ga7RNg53Ysz
If you desire to donate more, do so in multiples of 2.012 BTC and, hopefully, as separate donations. This way it would make the blockexplorer page that much more impressive. There will not be any account tracking with this drive, therefore you can donate anonymously with, or without, declaring that you've done so.
I've already made the first donation, and I'm pretty sure Jeremy West, with Spend Bitcoins is not to far behind me.
We're well aware that a Bitcoin donation option probably will not be embedded onto Ron Paul's official website, yet Bitcoin may enjoy mainstream media exposure once the donations are converted to fiat, then handed over to the Ron Paul campaign in the form of a money order, check, etc., but not PayPal, credit card, etc.
I suggest we hand over the lump sum directly after the Iowa Caucus. Afterwards, immediately orchestrate a media blitzkrieg, spreading the fact that this is the very first major political candidate to accept Bitcoin as a contribution option albeit, once again, that option may not be available on Ron Paul's official campaign website. But, it won't take away the fact that the singular donation was amassed by supporters donating Bitcoin outside the auspices of Ron Paul's campaign funding structure, yet contributed to the same.
The only roll that Bitcoin100 will have in regards to this undertaking is the overseeing of the project. Consider this an adjunct project for Bitcoin100 in playing a vital roll in spreading the word about Bitcoin.
No donated funds, already contributed to Bitcoin100, will be transferred to this newly created Ron Paul wallet having the vanity addresses shown above.

It's never too late, Jeremy. Besides, 'the party' is just beginning. I took the liberty of putting you down for (1+) which translates into you pledging at least 1 BTC and will honor it when you see fit. Thank you kindly for your contribution.
BTW, I ordered that book from Amazon thanks to you. Did you see the thread where I outlined how the whole process progressed? Also, nice interview, the other day.
