Do NOT donate to this shit. These hypocrite truckers intend to shut down traffic on freeways to "protest government shutdown" (huh??) and their excuse is "we don't like Affordable Care Act (ACA, Obamacare) so we'll throw a tantrum until someone listens to us". Their other demands? "Reduce price of diesel" (as if government gets to decide the price) and "Repeal the laws forcing truckers to upgrade their trucks to new EPA clean air standards". Nobody wants clean air, right? Fuck these assholes.

Make sure you research the people behind this before donating to some yahoo who claims to be collecting money for some other yahoos.



Wow what a yahoo.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
If you did get bitcoin donations, how exactly are you planning on converting them to dollars and sending the funds from Peru to the US? And yes, I do have your vitals.

You got me....

I was going to convert the bitcoins to paypal, and then send them the money, and he would post the transaction on their facebook wall, like i said i didnt get in contact with the guy he seems to be overloaded with tasks.

Anyways the event is tomorrow , i wish i saw this earlier to get things set straight.

Its sad to see the negative mindset of people in this community, very destructive slandering techniques as well.

It has nothing to do with negative mindsets, and all to do with your approach. In fact, if I were to try to garner donations the same way as you for the same exact cause, I would end up with exactly the same amount you would have collect--zero.

Now, if you really want to help, try to get some NPO/NGO to embed a Bitcoin donation option onto their website and Bitcoin 100 will send them $1,000 USD worth of bitcoins if they accept.


I am working as the NPO, the only thing i need is for them to post on their facebook page, its a grass routes operation not the red cross. Thats an interesting site there just is not enough time.

There are caveats in place, one of which Bitcoin 100 isn't going to donate to an NPO that only has a Facebook page. They would need to have a website that's not new and have some sort of traffic to their site, with being archived on the Wayback Machine an added plus. Also, can not be religious-based.

Licking my boob since 1970
I see that you are not the faebook group page owner of the event organiser.. please contact the event/facebook page owner and get them to publish a bitcoin address. that way we can see that it is official and not just a back hander/personal gain attempt.

the idea of bitcoin donations is to give them out to ORGANISATIONS, and get them to promote bitcoin. not give them to established community members to transfer to FIAT to then donate to the organisation.


I know that people on this forum seem to denote some sort of superiority complex when i comes to management skills, so i will layout more details for you.
I have contacted the page owner and he seems to be very busy, because i have not gotten a reply yet, i sent him my info.

As for transfering to FIAT they would need to do that in order to use the money.


Next time i will not follow thru with an idea until i have the board of Bitcoin director approve my plan.

Make that two Board of Bitcoin directors, both of which probably read your entire post history prior to replying.


Thank you your excellency.

You're being an ass.

Any coins that we send to that address will be used by YOU.  Stop trying to scam us.

so let me get this straight.
there is no prior agreement for them to accept bitcoin or even know what bitcoin is(as far as your aware)[1]
he doesnt know you personally[2].
so i take it this bitcoin address does not belong to any of the organisers, but is a wallet with a private key owned by yourself. and you wonder why asking for a donation for a good cause gets such high attention. its to help ensure-assure people that the end parties actually receive the funds and that the funds dont end up in some random persons pocket, never helping the cause or the bitcoin community.

i would suggest next time dont just pick a random charity/organisation from a google search and then request donations by flashing a few hyperlinks about. try contacting the organisation and get them setup with bitcoin first.

once its established the charity or organisation itself is accepting bitcoins, the donations will start flowing..

and try not to get negatively emotional about people not willing to donate unless they see proof of intent/involvement..
