0.25? I've gotten none considering I wrote aVanityGen and a Genesis Block Generator.
that disappoints me.. even more... this is more what I am talking about where yes the friend could write a blog etc do some work, write a program etc and yet here is clear evidence that even THIS does not work as a means to receive any donations... as a point of note one of my larger donations was to the user who runs http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com/ and he had not received any tips or donations from users using his website until he asked. i'll send you 0.1btc as well
Its not about giving BTC away, its about doing productive things with them that advance the BTC economy.
Have him write a blog on some area of expertise for him, link it and accept donations there.

well he sets up and runs servers... so i'll be getting him to add his instructions and info on that and linking to accept BTC but will be getting him to add it all to devtome.com so at least he can earn devcoins by writing.
Your post was the only true constructive post for advice on what he should do, but I am doing this already and I feel every man and his dog is as well... was wondering what else he could do... but i suppose that is where he needs to be smart and look at what is needed / would be useful and fill that gap in the market.... but ty, send me an addy and i'll send you a donation of 0.1btc as well
any beef with this post?? well let me know don't want to upset others, or let people feel that I am a bad person (honest I am not 
) but how can some of the stigmas be overcome? how can I improve my posting and myself?

All humans look out for themselves (and their offspring) first - those that didn't were quickly removed from the gene pool. If you believe you prioritize otherwise, you're either horribly deluded or long due for a sharp thwack from Darwin's cane.
Begging in the big bad world of reality is generally considered a despicable occupation, used only as a last resort - yet here, in our little microcosmic "advanced" civilization, innumerable forum users post "donation" addresses - for projects, sometimes, but more often simply for themselves - and, unlike beggars on 123 Main Street, are apparently offended when people do not send them bitcoins! If wealth is what you or your friend (if he actually exists, which I doubt) desire, and so it would appear, there are far more productive ways to acquire it. Bill Gates did not become the common metaphor for wealth in sardonic sentences he is today by begging on Internet forums!
I hear you and can see where you are coming from, but this is my first "guilt trip" thread where i have ever asked for anything for free, and for the record tbh yeah I most likely am horribly deluded about people in the word.... but then my questions can be used to see if we can evolve to be a community that can break free of the evolutionary path that we have been marching down blinkers on.... maybe i'm an idealist and have far too a bright view of the world in that it can change, or maybe the community has been burnt with too many other scams and bad vibes that has left it tainted. Hey i'm part of the community to so don't feel i'm guilt tripping you, i'm just expressing what I am feeling and wondering if others feeling the same, or what their thoughts are really so thank you for yours, and yeah i know begging in some parts of the world is seen as despicable thing to do, but in other parts of the world it is equally true that if u don't ask you don't get.
and for the record, yes my friend does exist, though i fully appreciate that there is no way of me proving this whilst keeping the BTC's annominity for myself and my friend.
