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.

How about we start with getting him on board?

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 getting the private keys in Snowdens hands will solve itself.

How's a vanity address created?

And anyone know of anyone who might possibly be able to get the private keys in his hands?

Perhaps a vanity address with his name?
How could we get the private key, which we can't know, to him without it being intercepted or used by a middleman?

Every surfer knows the secret to surfing is choosing the right wave and then expert timing to ride that wave for all its worth.

There's a huge swell brewing.  A swell perfectly tailored for Bitcoin to ride into the world spotlight.  Billions could be exposed to Bitcoin in one day that might take 10 years to be exposed otherwise.

...that is, if we catch the wave with expert timing.

What am I talking about....?

...The international attention currently on the Snowden whistle blower case.  A case custom made for Bitcoin enthusiasts...

Turns out Snowden has been holed up in Hong Kong, burning through all his credit cards to get this message to the world.

He's pretty much sacrificed everything for the good of us all.

Now lets to something for him and introduce the world to Bitcoin in the process...

How...?

We all know NSA has the tools to cut off any electronic funds heading Snowden's way regardless of where they come from...  that is any electronic funds aside from Bitcoin.

Now's our chance:

Let's setup a Bitcoin fund for Snowden.  The nature of Bitcoin could provide complete transparency.  Those donating can check the blockchain and see exactly where their funds are going.

...If Snowden plays along, he can publish exactly how he's spending the Bitcoins.  Eventually the word gets out that Snowden is living off Bitcoins.  

Of course the media will try to paint it that only criminals do that.  But anyone above simple-mind status will see right through that.

It will plant the seeds in countless minds around the world that Bitcoin is a way out.  A way out of the corrupt system.  Allowing them to live free in an unfree world.

Snowden has already proved his integrity here.  He has sacrificed the rest of his life for the sake of us all.  Let's do something for him, and in so doing do something for the world, getting the message out about Bitcoin.

If we are ever going to escape the current police state, we need to support those who courageously stand up against it. 

Imagine the message overwhelming moral (and financial) support sends to other potential whistle-blowers on the edge right now...
