Topic: [GLBSE] Send to charity. - page 3. (Read 5526 times)

This is why I was asking for the BTC deposit address. The way it is now only issuers of shares can donate.

The account now has 2 factor auth setup. Updated the OP with some more infos.

Thanks for the support

If people think its a good idea I will setup an actual asset on glbse, but that seems like an un needed extra cost.

"charity" has  a specific purpose of promoting bitcoin itself. I dont want to pick winners and losers as far as other charities goes thats the job for the bitcoin100.

No you dont have to buy shares in anything just use the transfer feature.

This is why-

Thanks to our first donations :

I like the idea. Faucet sites have helped me get started so I have donated a BIB.BVPS share.

Beat me to it didn't see your post.  I think there is room for more than one charity fund as mine it not solely raising for bitcoin project itself..  If I ever run out of time for my own fund I'll give whatever raised to your fund.  Good luck.

sign up to GLBSE, transfer funds to your GLBSE account, then after they show up in your account, then buy shares in "charity"

What is the BTC deposit address?

Thanks. Its about as lean as can be as far as a charity org goes since it doesnt even need a website.

Excellent idea.

Some time ago Gavin's account was hacked and 5 bitcoins were stolen. http://gavintech.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/bitcoin-faucet-hacked.html

Because of this I have decided that the first 5 bitcoins we raise will be sent to his site at https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/

I am also looking for free (not ad supported) faucets that need support. If you find any let me know!

http://www.paperco.in/faucet.php

This is an account I setup on GLBSE after a suggestion from Sukrim. The idea is that any coins or shares sent to this account will be used to donate to various faucet sites and the bitcoin100, or future bitcoin promotional activities. I sent 7 COGNITIVE shares to it already.

If bitcoins get donated I will use them to get more shares that pay dividends and in turn be able to fund more donations. I intend to eventually hand over this account whenever a bitcoin foundation exists at some point in the future.

The glbse account to donate to is called "charity"

Edit:As there are currently no administration costs I take nothing out of the pot. I will probably only need to send out dividend coins once per week and that is a one minute job. If someone wants to donate a free website maybe on google apps that would be good.


If you dont have a glbse account I setup a deposit address at 1HNhEsFJFjnipSwguuFmTFVtz5eGmX4n4J any coins sent here will buy some shares probably in companies who have already donated some


What will the funds be used for ?
The dividends will get distributed amongst the faucet,the bitcoin100  http://bitcoin100.org and the bitcoin testing project https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announce-bitcoin-testing-project-80019



 
We will also contribute to bounties from time to time for important bitcoin related development work.
