Funny how noone talks about how he is supposed to cash them out and get the actual money in his hands.
...
How could we get the private key, which we can't know, to him without it being intercepted or used by a middleman?

Can BitMessage help out here?
Get in touch with Glenn Greenwald, he's very active on twitter
@ggreenwald
probably wouldn't be hard to find an email address for him, he's well published.
Should be able to connect with an email address, or pass along a message.

The QR code would be a use similar to the one where someone used a QR code in a video on YouTube and apparently received 4 BTC or so for the contribution.
But how to get in touch with Snowden to see if he is interested?

surely he would be interested, we are over here begging him to allow us to throw money at him
i think we would just need to broadcast the message. maybe youtube? is there anyone in the bitcoin community who has a popular youtube channel that regularly gets a lot of hits?

He can create his own paper wallet using Bitaddress offline. He's a bright guy and can surely figure it out once he has the notion to use bitcoin. Far safer than trusting someone he doesn't know with a private key.
The only way I see this working is if someone goes to Hong Kong (or someone who is already there) and delivers a paper wallet to Snowden in person. It's the only way to be 100% sure the NSA doesn't block it. Any volunteers?
we just need to get him to release a video with him reading his address out loud.
I was thinking the same thing earlier today. If this snowden guy posted a bitcoin address i would definately donate. not just to him either, anyone who makes great sacrifices to stand up for their principals i would donate to. how on earth do we get in contact with him inorder to tell him that we would like to help?
Bitcoin is already on the world stage 10x over since ~4years ago.
Due to spooks involved at the highest levels of NSA/CIA it's impossible to guarantee he would receive funds unless you put it directly into his hand, which means you could catch some stray polonium poisoning :P
Anybody caught fundraising or sending funds would then be funding a defector/in a huge pile of shit, like being jailed for assisting treason or something. Better find some trusted guy in Europe or HK to pull this off nobody in USA. Whoever pulls this off in said Euro or other foreign country must also worry about possible extraordinary rendition, and can never, ever visit the US ever again. This is different than fundraising for wikileaks this is sending money directly to a defector. Be careful (:

Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist, successfully communicated with him via some unspecified encrypted chat software.
What is to stop someone sending him an encrypted private key?
By all means feel free to do this just warning you I don't think the NSA and CIA are going to stand around and do nothing, especially if any US citizen organizes this. Better contact the Guardian journalist from a tormail account in a van with no windows over wifi while you drive around in circles:P

It's right that he should be rewarded for his actions and rewarding him in BTC seems perfect.
The trusted party who creates the vanity address could agree to return any donations back to the senders address should the fund not make it to Mr Snowden in x amount of time.

This is a great idea. I will definitly donate to this guy. I'm not an American so I rarely use this term : but this man is a HERO !
Lets try to get him on this forum asap.

I can make a vanity address with vanitygen, but 7 chars takes too long (years calculation time). 6 Chars can be done in a hour calculation time.
So something like "1Snowde" or "1Snowdn".

What if a trusted member in the Bitcoin community sets up the vanity address. We start the campaign to fill it. Do a few press releases. When the amount is significant enough I believe the problem of getter ng the private keys in Snowdens hands will solve itself.
How about we start with getting him on board?I assume theres at least one person on this board whos from hong kong, if so they might be able to score a meeting with him and discuss this.
Careful about NSA hunters posing as bitcoin purveyors.
You might want to also consider signing the We the People petition to pardon him as well.
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/pardon-edward-snowden/Dp03vGYD
It needs ~25,000 signatures

I would totally donate BTC to help out Mr. Snowden.
It would seem the best way to set something up is have the bitcoin community contact/team up with the two leading Snowden support sites:
http://www.supportsnowden.org/
http://hongwrong.com/edward-snowden-rally
http://www.supportsnowden.org/

How about we start with getting him on board?
+1
definetly
i hate all of these strangers saying give me coins for X reason and they will someday get to their destination
it is much better to get in contact with him and get him to make a personalised youtube video showing his bitcoin address so we can send funds direct to him
