Topic: [GLBSE] Send to charity. (Read 5529 times)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin-foundation-113400  the bitcoin foundation was announced today. I am going to have a chat to them about handing over the "charity" account as I mentioned in the OP. For now I have added the foundation to the donation list.

Im not sure if Gavin is continuing the testing project or not so the foundation may simply replace that one.

Paid .05 to 4 addresses today.

Last week our holding of OBSI.HRPT  sold because its likely that its some kind of ponzi scheme and funds reinvested in another security.
I dont think that deserves support given the pirate debacle.
 So we ended up paying .05 to 4 addresses this week.

Sent .10 to 4 projects and picked up 20 shares of KRAKEN. New donations included BIB.BVPS






Thanks!

Its a thankless job so encouragement is accepted








 

Great idea!

Sent .10 to the 4 addresses in the op.

Next week there might be some changes as YARR has been shut down and we have a couple of btc to get other shares.

I dont invest in him either with my personal coins for that same reason. Its entirely his choice whether he tells people how he makes his money though. I do hope its not harming anyone though.

We can't know if he (OBSI.HRPT) is pirate related. The main problem I see with him is that he says he's a pass through for an unknown service. As he doesn't tell us where the money is in, he can claim at ANY time the "entity" defaulted and the money is gone. I don't care if others get their bitcoins with him, but he won't get a satoshi from me.

OBSI.HRPT is a strange one. I own 1 share just to keep it on my radar, but the guy really needs to give out more information if he wants people to trust him.

LOL

I cant prevent people sending pirate shares to the account but so far the only ones related to pirate are YARR. I dont know about OBSI.HRPT but he hasn't said its pirate related.

what is your exposure to pirate?

  someone had to ask.

This week we picked up 3 OBSI.HRPT

Paid .075 to the faucet,bitcoin100 and bitcoin testing project
Paid .10 to blockchain compression.

Should be able to donate .10 to all 4 projects next week.

Paid out .075 to each of the OP projects today.

Paid out a total of .31 today

.1 to the faucet .1 to the testing project and .11 to the bitcoin100

Update. Should be a decent payout in a few days.

Paid out .1 to the faucet and .0793 to the bitcoin testing project

10 shares of BITCOINRS donated. We have just passed last weeks dividend total.

I donated them from my personal stash of 514 because I like round numbers   

14 CPA shares? Expect a whammy at the end of the month 

Someone donated another YARR share so there is at least .02 coins being raised every day or .12 each week from these shares alone. Thanks for your generosity whoever you are 

Sure. Im going to need 2 screenshots soon because theres a lot of different assets 

Can you update the screenshot regularly?

Updated the OP on what the funds will be used for.

Got a few do more donations of shares today plus I in threw in a few BFLS

Will be watching these developments with interest as it pertains to future donation efforts.

Edit: Just discovered the bitcoin testing project. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announce-bitcoin-testing-project-80019


Is this an acceptable target for future dividend distributions ?

I would like to see something like that happen but what I need is a list of features in order of importance and a corresponding donation address to contribute to. Once I have that I can split the dividends and contribute to different bounties or even issue an asset and let people vote through motions on where to send the coins next.

Edit: See the "bitcoin testing project" in the next post.

This looks interesting. Any chance the charity could be used to pay people to work on core bitcoin? If so, then I may toss in some coin since block-chain compression needs to be addressed.

Paid the first dividends out today.

0.139 to the bitcoin faucet donation address.

Payouts will be each week on Sundays.

Im not aware of that many.
http://paperco.in/faucet.php
https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/

Are the only two non ad supported ones I know of.

I guess he'd like an explicit list of faucet sites to which donations will be made.

The only other way this can work is by setting up voting using an asset.

Is this not acceptable ? There arent that many which rely only on donations. If you have any other ideas I would like to hear them.

Its pretty specific.
The first 5 bitcoins raised will be donated to Gavin's bitcoin faucet to replace the ones that were stolen.

After that dividends will go to other free faucets and  http://bitcoin100.org/

The only other projects it would go to are ones that  promote bitcoin itself.

@bitcoin.me
Would you like to discuss what those funds would be spent for? I'd like to donate, but I want to be sure that your plans are consistent with mine so to speak 

We had the first dividend today thanks to YARR

Getting quite a diverse selection of shares for the fund. Thanks to all who are donating.
Update:

Thankyou. Looks like we will have daily income now thanks to YARR 

No you can also transfer bitcoins through glbse. I just created a bitcoin deposit address at 1HNhEsFJFjnipSwguuFmTFVtz5eGmX4n4J  so you dont need a glbse account.

Because I didn't know?

Seen it now - thanks.

Why do you think that's the case? Anyone can transfer shares or bitcoins through GLBSE.

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.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/charitable-fund-to-promote-btcltcnmc-other-btc-accepting-charities-92754

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.

[Reserved]

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.
