Topic: #OccupyWallStreet Idea - Massive promotion (Read 9302 times)
I will donate some BTC to this project, I'm at work and I don't have time to read the last few pages. What is the current status as of NOW? Also do we have a script for the automation? I can probably help to get some cards into good hands.

I guess he was more asking for a status page with a condensed overview of what was done so far. Is http://operationbitcoin.org/wallst/transparency.html up to date?

I'm happy to contribute a decent amount of Bitcoins as well.
I didn't see it mentioned, but I don't think using Instawallet is the best idea for this.
Any Bitcoins at unclaimed URLs will be lost.
Lets make this project happen!

Simple, whomever creates the links keep a copy. I assume this person will be honest anyway since they're probably the ones using some of their own money. At some point in the future check each one, maybe a year?. If there's an amount anything other the original amount, then delete that URL on your list since it had activity and someone showed interest (or if the amount is zero). If it's still the same exact amount, reclaim it back.
The park is private but the terms when the purchase occurred requires they leave it open to the public.

The park was built originally in a 1968 deal between the builders of the U.S. Steel tower (the building presently called One Liberty) that allowed them to build nine stories higher than zoning laws permitted in exchange for creating a public plaza that would by law be open to the public and subject to various restrictions in its design and operation meant to ensure that the park would be useful to the public.

I just want to say that it seams that this 'movement' is perfect for bitcoin usage. If they are really against the establishment, then the using of bitcoins is perfect. I dont know what else I can do other then to donate to the cause.
What is the current progress of the cause, should I be looking at a different post?
This page, specifically for donors, is more updated: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/donor-thread-for-occupywallstreet-bitcoin-promotion-45943. If you really want to get involved, the team is hanging out in IRC #operationbitcoin

http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/culture/2011/10/3608746/owners-park-center-occupy-wall-street-protests-are-losing-patience-wI just thought of something. Why haven't the protestors been kicked out with the usual "you don't have a permit" excuse?
They are actually on private property.
i thought ~700 people had already been arrested... what was the reason for that.
That was because they chose to occupy a bridge. I am just referring to the park. Its private property, but from what I understand the owners of the park (some corporation) are losing patience.
we need a short announcement about bitcoin in the context of gernal assembly and #occupy wallst so it can be presented at the general assembly mic check as soon as possible, Tonight preferably

Probably because the longer they are there the more like dumb asses they look. Seriously, the most misguided misinformed bunch of delinquents I have seen since the London protests (albeit they were considerably worse).
"Blame the corporations", "Blame the rich", "Their the reason my life's a b**ch".... it's non-sense from people who don't know the value of hard work over hand outs. Ya the bailouts sucked but if you want to stop that... change who you vote for, and stop voting for hand-outs.
Ya, why can't they be good Kochparty Patriobots and act like the big money wants them to act?
At least the mainstream media message about what we should think of these people seems to be getting out broadly.

Some humor while we wait.

what is the status? handing out cards already?
Nice job!
I will actually be heading back down to NYC from tuesday-thursday for the express purpose of (a) organizing some people on the ground to do regular updates and (b... and most exciting to me) getting the Officer Accountability Project database fleshed out. The announcement of the latter project can be found here: http://feedtheprotest.com/node/224 and we have a few sample profiles. What I will be doing is trying to get a relatively complete catalog of the "white shirts," with the ultimate goal of creating a time-line of the behavior of each of the officers that is easily searchable (so new instances of police violence can be rapidly contextualized and compared with previous behaviors). This is the project that has been taking up most of Kevin's (the tech lead) time over the past few days, but now that we've got the back end in place it should be ready for rapid expansion when I get down there. If you want your bitcoins supporting other elements of the movement, by all means send them to where you feel most comfortable, but I believe we're doing pretty important work.
Also, as I'll be down on Wednesday, I will try to make the BTC meet-up, so long as there is not anything urgent going down in Liberty Plaza at that time. If anyone wants to get together and compare notes at any other point while I'm down there, drop a pm, and I'll send you my cell phone #...

This sounds really good. My suggestion is, from your website you need a section called "Where your donations go to" and list of these details and more, in an as organized and exact professional manner as possible. This is the primary thing you could do to encourage doner confidence.
That's an excellent suggestion - I will be seeing Kevin tomorrow and will try to flesh something out and have it up by tomorrow evening...

FYI - PayPal troubles seem to be beginning for the occupation: http://feedtheprotest.com/node/219
Why not teach them to accept bitcoin? (feedtheprotest org. that is)I'm a little confused too
since matt aka carbonpenguin has told me he has connections to the people behind it, if it's the technical that's bothering you I'm sure Yifu Guo and his crew will love to help you if you go to the meetup on this Wednesday, he is a bright young man. Also Yifu has made a reddit post on this matter http://redd.it/ktai9I just convinced the guy doing the tech work on FeedTheProtest to start accepting BTC - I'm writing the text of the post to introduce the concept as well as announce the address. Below is what I've written so far; any suggestions for revisions would be appreciated:
As our [recent experience with PayPal] has all too painfully demonstrated, relying exclusively on corporate payment processing to fund a movement that seeks to undermine corporate power is a risky proposition. As such, we at Feed the Protest have decided to begin accepting donations in Bitcoin, the anonymous open source peer-to-peer currency that was used to help fund Wikileaks when they [faced similar issues]. To learn more about how Bitcoin works, visit [We Use Coins], and, to get your hands on some, the major exchange can be found at https://mtgox.com. It is our hope that the PayPal situation will be resolved soon, but we can be certain that all Bitcoin payments will, in fact, go through. Send your Bitcoins to: [XXXXXXX]
This could be an issue. Im getting back from lots of people, "is that feedtheprotest trustworthy? i.e., how do we know it isn't feedthescammer?" Is there some way they could verify what they are doing?
