Well I didn't fill it, but I sent 1 to their wallet.
Could have sent it as 10,000,000 satoshis in individual transactions, that would have filled it pretty quick!

Great work, all.

"Every bit helps"

Internet Archive has added a link to their bitcoin address on their donate page:
http://www.archive.org/donate/index.php
In the bottom center of the page, there is a link "Our Bitcoin Address," which links to an anchor tag in the middle of their FAQ.
From http://www.archive.org/about/faqs.php#311 :
Don't trust me though, copy their address off of their site yourself!
Thanks Internet Archive!
Now it's our turn. Let's fill their wallet!

Definitely will donate to their site. I use their service regularly. Waiting for the address to show up on their site.
same here.
Maybe we should send them the link to this thread to encourage them to take action on their words. Forgive my poor reading abilities if this was addressed. But, was it verified that the person offering to accept BTC at IA-WB is in a posistion to do so?
Cheers

Let's see it on the page first...

For those not familiar with the way back machine, it is a great tool for finding old internet content.

Like reading content on old websites that's no longer online, penned by know fraudsters. I'm just saying!

If we can find a agreement with bit-pay whereby they wouldn't charge any fees to non-profit organizations, we should recommand them to use bit-pay. Atm, Bitcoin is way too geeky for your average organization. We would get a much better conversion rate with a payment solution that looks and feels like what they are used to.

And I don't think they charge for non-profits...

For Eligible US Organizations
If your organization is registered with the IRS Publication 78, Bit-pay will process the bitcoin payments at NO CHARGE.
http://www.irs.gov/app/pub-78/
You must be on the IRS Pub78 list (eligible to receive tax-deductible donations) to qualify for the no-charge processing.

I also don't see a Bitcoin donation button yet. Has anyone e-mailed them?

Pretty sure the password just encrypts the private key. The private key can't be changed without changing the receiving address.
December 09, 2011, 12:48:35 AM
I'm in for 1. I've used their site many of times. Will watch this thread and their site for confirmation of the address.
Maybe we need a project like the Bitcoin100 for non-charity projects like this, and wikipedia, and tor. Or include them in the Bitcoin100?
Of course we can. Wanting Wikipedia to embed a Bitcoin donation option, then their rejection, is why I started brainstorming Bitcoin100 in the first place. I was able to put a lot of thought into the idea because, quite frankly, theymos gave me a 7 day vacation from here. I was a bad, bad boy, and Nikki the Bitch didn't help matters, either.
Now back to archive.org. What would a vanity address look like if one were created for them? And if one were created for them and given to them with the password, would they be able to change the password once they take over the address?
Thoughts?

I'll donate once there's a link on their site.

June responded with the same btc address as Obsi posted.
Should be on the donate page by the end of the day! (Hopefully)

I would say include them. They help the world community at large and The Internet Archive is a 501c3 non-profit according to the comments on that blog post (meaning donations are tax-deductible in the USA).
I'm not sure why they haven't listed their bitcoin address on the page yet. Perhaps they are still getting up to speed on how bitcoin works, but they've already got 37 btc donated and at least a few tens more pledged in this thread.

I consider any business that creates wealth for society as charity. This is a charity in my book.

I applaud the founder for being so open-minded to all donation methods. If you need funding, you might as well be open to everything you can get. A rational man, indeed.
