Topic: Feed Some Children by Dabs (Donate Bitcoins) 4,920 meals so far! - page 6. (Read 47688 times)

Well, I can't answer that one. They are all over the world. But it's not the fault of the child, at least in this world, I think. Only in fantasy do you find dragons that take revenge on your grandchildren because they can still smell your blood.

Dabs I'd say you've earned yourself a Hive app.

What do you want in yours? Sean's Outpost looks like this:

I was just thinking of an awesome idea by which anyone could contribute

1. Find an altcoin pool with good mining profit.
2. Make some simple .zip files that can be opened and mined from.
3. Let people contribute by spending their memory on it.
4. Convert the money to bitcoin and then to Pesos.


Optional :
Make a worker with each person who signs up to see contributor amounts.

So , how does that sound ?

**Feels all warm fuzzy inside** 

A big thank you to Mr. emanymton for donating a whole bitcoin.

I have those, somewhere, offline. But they are NSFW, too bloody. Both my kids were caesarean section. I'll look for a tame looking pic.

Okay, but how do we really know you didn't photoshop a daughter?  Delivery rooms pics, or it didn't happen. 

Looks like more than enough to put any naysayers to rest, Dabs.

Later, bud.

I finally was able to go to the NuSkin Center and put in the order for 59 bags. +10 corporate matching bonus = 69 bags * 30 meals = 2,070 meals.

As promised, here are some pictures with a one liner or two explanation.

I'll start with some pics of me and my kids. doing some other transaction in a local bank.

Then some unrelated business inside a bank, I notice they were all gearing up to donate relief goods to the victims of the super typhoon.

Inside Bank


Inside Bank, packing stuff


Inside Bank, more stuff

I just posed. I have no connection to the goods there other than I'm a client of the bank.

Now, to the actual transaction itself.

And finally, the result.

Vitameal bought Nov 22 2013


Includes a little thank you post card signed by the President of Indonesia / Philippines. The signature looks mass produced or printed, but he can't personally sign everything.

I decided to add a few more pictures of something I did way back in July.

Dabs with 290,000 PHP (valued at 67 BTC when it was $100 USD per BTC)
Dated 2013-07-31

290,000 Philippine Pesos in cold hard cash


a check totalling 3.3 million Philippine Pesos (could have bought 800 BTC then.)

Almost a million Philippine Pesos

Was worth 232 BTC then.

Now, they are worth less. I mean, they are worth 6 or 7 times less since the value of BTC has gone up the roof.

Explanation:

I hold large amounts of cash, that is NOT MY MONEY.
I sign checks that is NOT MY MONEY. I can sign, I am a signatory.
I have the passwords to the corporate bank account of the company I work for.
I am responsible for the payroll of over 180 employees. I have access to their money before it gets sent to them.

This implies, at any point in time, I can run away and disappear with 1000 (one thousand) bitcoins worth but this is in cold hard cash, or checks that I can turn into cash.

Now, some of you may be thinking, "oh no, someone is going to follow Dabs around and mug him when he has cash." now that these pictures are on the internet.

And oh, those pictures of the cash, have been around since July, so ... ... (okay, it's part of my bid for the fund raising being done by Phin, and I'm trying to be a forum treasurer too, hehehe.)

The same could be said about Roger Ver and Mark Vernon (who is now staying in the Philippines). They both have a lot more coins than I do, fiat and bits.

Well, no one knows when that will be. And when I get an assignment, I will of course be prepared for such and have a contingency plan.

Usually, it's shoot now, ask questions later. If I'm holding 4 million in cash, and someone attempts to grab it from me, I don't need to think much about it and just go into instinct mode.

(Did I mention I carry a government model 1911 in .45 ACP everywhere?)

Due to the craziness of the bitcoin roller coaster ride the past couple of days, my transaction has not yet confirmed. Although I have assured the buyer, it will eventually confirm, as I use the bitcoin-qt client which reminds you if you really need to include a transaction fee.

In any case, I will include a little bit fees in the future, deducted from the total.

Small Correction:

1st coins sold, good for 44 bags.
2nd coin sold, good for 15 bags.
Total recent batch of coins, total good for 59 bags. When I buy it this week, the company will add +10 as matching bonus.

Keep em comin!

PayPal and Bitcoins don't really mix that well, you know. The money might possibly get "stuck" somewhere. And it's easy enough for me to find local buyers and even within the region; Newar got the 1 again for a good rate (considering the volatility.)

He has what we call "Charity Rate" which uses Mt. Gox and rounds up the small numbers, at the time of sending the fiat. (Only applicable to donated funds.)

So I'm getting the 50+ bags (for donations) this week.

Again, I am not likely to see any actual bags since they are probably sitting in their warehouse ready to go out as soon as someone has paid for them. But this time, I'll take a couple of pics of me inside the walk-in-center as I do the transaction.

I'll go look at coinpal.nl though, thanks!

Dabs, try coinpal.nl they have good rates and there are paying paypal.

Wow. Okay. Great. Will find a buyer for that soon. Have not had the chance to update the other details.

Hell yeah, that's the way.

How much?
Edit: Fuck it, 1 BTC donated.

Sold all the coins to Newar again, before the weekend. That's good for 46 bags. I need 4 more to make it 50. Who else wants to donate for the 4 bags?

If you want to get spotted, you need to include their full names too:
Cameron Howard Winklevoss
Tyler Howard Winklevoss

and you might as well include their "friends":
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg
Divya Narendra

Perhaps my original goal of 3k is out of reach.  If the Winklevoss twins really want to promote Bitcoin, they should stop doing press interviews and throw down some coins here.

Maybe they google their own names a lot and will find this thread...

That was the original plan. Fortunately, there are NO BAGS available every time I go there to pay for them, even for display purposes. It's fortunate because that means it's actually going out there to where its needed.

So, what happens is, I take a picture of the receipt, post here. The bag is already out there on its way to some hungry malnourished kid, who is probably homeless too.

I'll edit the first post to include "if there is a bag available."

Thanks for some of the feedback. If you don't pick up the bags to donate. Why did you say #5 then?

How it works:
1. You send at least 0.01 BTC to the donation address.
2. I wait until it reaches 1640 PHP (fiat equivalent.) *edit* I will probably wait until there is at least a whole bitcoin, regardless of exchange rate.
3. I change the BTC to PHP through local traders here.
4. I buy and donate 1 bag of VitaMeal.
5. I take a picture of the bag, and the receipt, post here.
6. Go back to step 1.

I was trying to get some funds from MtGox to donate, but MtGox won't allow me to withdraw my bitcoins. Sad news! I have a little in another wallet I'll send.

Get some new convincing photos of you doing stuff! Not just standing at a counter or riding a bus.
If I wanted that kind of verification, I'd send charity to the "Nigeria prince". Joking.

Keep doing the good work.
