Pestering them about a Bitcoin button is not a good idea. It was a gift, not a bribe.

Just give them the Bitcoins and follow up in two weeks.

2 weeks
2,419,200 seconds
Same amount of time as expected time to generate 2,016 blocks

How many days we have left?

*Checks emal* No, still nothing.

Btw, I'm not sure if they feel the need to reply and say anything. I mean, I didn't specifically request a reply as in "please tell me what your plans are". I just left it on their plate.

But I agree that I'm dying, just as you are, wondering if they're going to post a Bitcoin donation box on their website or not. They may not even know yet -- maybe they're talking about it, or maybe they just want to liquidate the coins.

Any ideas on the course of action at this point? Should I wait a month, and if they don't post one, then ask specifically what their plans are? I feel that we've done everything possible to enourage them, so any additional bugging would just be bothersome.

Done.

"I hope you decide to offer a bitcoin donation address on your website. There are many more people who haved pledged additional coins if this is offerred, and it provides a convenient method for future bitcoin donations.
 
Thanks, and let me know if you have any problems with the account!"

If I hear back that they're actually going to do this, of course, I'll post and let you know!

Done. Now all that's left is to wait.

Sweet! Did you ask if they would post an address on their website for future bitcoin donations?

I haven't asked this yet and don't want to annoy if you already asked.
Nope. My email was simply about the mybitcoin account.

Okay cool, in that case I'll follow up and mention that there are more coins coming their way if the publish a bitcoin donation address on their website.

It's taken care of... kiba is continuing this thread and is going to send them a username/password so they can get their donations.

I haven't yet mentioned anything about having them setup a donations page yet... I think I'll wait until Kiba confirms that they have successfully recieved their coins. Once they're happy with the donation, I'll mention that there are more donations to come if they put up an official bitcoin donation box on their website.

Hi Aaron* and Mizery! It appears that the original message didn't make it to me (I get the [email protected]  messages), but we just heard from both of you yesterday. Smiley We're very happy to hear that EFF has such support in the Bitcoin community! What is the recommended course of action for us? Once raised, it seems that Bitcoin currency can be exchanged via PayPal or bank transfer, correct? Thanks again!

Um, yeah it's a private email thread so it wouldn't be nice to post it publicly without asking permission.

All they need now is the username and password for the account. If you send me your email then I can introduce you into the conversation. You can then drop me and forward them the info privately.

I can handle the rest of communication with the EFF, such as recommending that they setup a donation area on their website, etc, but you need to send the account info yourself since you're the account trustee.
