Actually, I am going to pledge 40 BTC more; so 50 BTC from me in total.

That's great! Can you also send it to the collecting account? I want to be able to promise DOSBox "you have X BTC waiting for you" and honor it as soon as they post an address, rather than having to wait until everyone checks back for updates.

Sent.

Please send your pledges to address 12tBhckeLEuhg6BaJwEWQdt77bDFdpYZ1X, and let us know when you do.

25 BTC sent. Good luck.

If the attempt to convince DOSBox fails, we will return the money to those who wish so. Personally I will keep my pledge in until the next attempt.

I hope you can convince them. If you can't, I'll forward the donation to the generic organization persuation pledge. Cheesy

I have created a MyBitcoin account to collect the pledges. Mahkul and I have access to it. Please send your pledges to address 12tBhckeLEuhg6BaJwEWQdt77bDFdpYZ1X, and let us know when you do.

Also, a few people have been generous enough to pledge a reward for those who get organizations to accept Bitcoin. Since this is a group effort and there is no one to collect the reward, I invite those people to add their pledges to this pool, which will increase the chances of success, even if they have no interest in DOSBox per se (which is, as I understand, what cw and SunAvatar did).

You should have a look too---I've already posted there twice! In fact, that's how I found this thread... and I found out about that thread in a reply you made to another post of mine.

What the hell, I'll pledge 1 BTC. I don't really use DOSBox, but I do support the general idea of getting high-profile projects to accept Bitcoin.

You should definitely have a look at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/earn-0btc-for-getting-shopsorganisations-to-accept-bitcoin-4667 then.

Sorry, I figured it would belong in the same place as this. Thanks for the correction.

Mahkul has recently expressed his desire to get DOSBox to accept bitcoin donations. I'd love that too, and I figure that if enough donations are pledged they will be happy to accept them.

So, I'm inviting people to join in with their pledges. I'll start by pledging 10 BTC.

As far as logistics goes, will it be acceptable if the pledges are collected in a mybitcoin account with password shared by Mahkul and me?

Update: Donations should now be sent to the address on the DOSBox crew page.
The pledges so far are:
20 BTC - Holy-Fire (received)
50 BTC - Mahkul (received)
1 BTC - cw
1 BTC - SunAvatar (received)
25 BTC - Gokhan (received)
