Like I said, I think that their goals align a lot with the goals that many people have for Bitcoin.


I can understand the frustration of being scammed again and again, but shooting people is not the solution.

This isn't the type of innovation they're looking for; asking people for money on your behalf is something anyone can do.

I'm trying to reach out to the Bitcoin community, I'm not just asking random people for money.  Like I said, I think that their goals align a lot with the goals that many people have for Bitcoin.

If you don't want to donate, then I fully understand.  But you don't have to shit all over my idea without at least suggesting a better one.

Since the combine aren't invading, I doubt that anyone but criminals greatly needs to manufacture their own rifle ammunition. This is a bad cause.

No offense, but, shouldn't I simply donate direct to DEFCAD?  This isn't the type of innovation they're looking for; asking people for money on your behalf is something anyone can do.  What are doing to up the ante?  If this is it, I don't think you deserve that job.

What is DEFCAD?  http://www.defcad.com/

I applied for a job at DEFCAD and they sent this email in reply:

Dear Chris,

Haroon and Brian and I have raised about half of the money needed to get DEFCAD off the ground.

DefDist and DEFCAD.org got moving not because we had unique skill or insight, but because we could hustle and get creative when people tried to stop us.

I've received a lot of job requests. Before you show me you're a software or marketing god, show me you can raise $500. And do it in a clever way.

This organization will succeed because scrappers will keep it alive and deliver when times get rough. I know you're out there, so show me you want to work with us.

These guys are dedicated to keeping censorship out of 3D printing, and creating a site that will allow anyone to post 3D model designs regardless of how "dangerous" they might be.  In my opinion, these goals are very similar to some of the goals we hope to achieve with Bitcoin.  

So let's show DEFCAD what the Bitcoin community can do!  


Donation address: 12ZTr52cinYN99cxYDRafRjsoc3RpPwccY

(Note: even if I don't reach the $500 limit, I will be transferring 100% of the BTC (or USD if they want USD) to DEFCAD)

Thanks everyone!
