so if I donate half a bitcoin, you will also?

Hi jonald - sorry for the late response. I've not been logging in regularly.

The answer is yes - I said I would match up to the time that the total hits the $600 level, and I will.

Near as I can tell, that would just about put us there, no?

Shall we?

Just bet it at Satoshi Dice and double what you're holding?

OK... let's try this.

We are currently -- as of block height 357305 -- sitting at 1.2112 BTC - $286.18 at today's prices, or not quite halfway to what was stolen. I hereby pledge to match any now donations 1:1 until we reach $600. Or until the community or family decides enough is enough.

So who wants to use my money to leverage their donation?

Thank you pawel777 - matching donation here: 897c93570616a6316b00144ba148cc7d797dfea19f90e978645ed086e4ae7ce5

Now at 1.2412 BTC - who's next to use my money?

~~https://blockchain.info/address/1FvX81SxjLLvFymFVDH3Z4LXA87jVU6EaH~~ OK, 2015 Jun 16 update. Stop donating to original address. Any further donations should be sent to https://blockchain.info/address/1KayK9cRSUHXLcs3kjyu1sbcJpUrdsk2Ei, which is a paper wallet that will be given in paper wallet form, along with the cash raised.

All right, things have tapered. Last call, folks, to try to restore some faith in humanity in one child's eyes. I was hoping we could get at least halfway (OK, I was hoping for all the way) to restoring what the jackboots stole from her. If everyone that read this punted in 0.01 Bitcoin, we'd be there. Think about it, won't you?

Thanks in advance for your generous contribution!

I really don't think this whole story has yet gotten the exposure it deserves.

The entire "Cops Take Kid's Piggy Bank In SWAT Raid" thing ought to be it's own story, even totally separate from all the issues re: Burt, bitcoins, MSB licenses, etc etc.

If it got even a little play elsewhere, outside of just this-here BCT thread, I think the $600 donation goal would be hit in a few hours.

Doesn't anyone here have any connections in "the media" to get the story broken out from ONLY bitcoin space?

Well, things seem to be losing momentum. Anyone else in the shadows waiting to make their contribution? When do we conclude it's all this vast community can do?

This community is not famous for giving bitcoins away I guess. Probably it would be completed by now if it was DOGE related and posted on /r/dogecoin.

I'd say give it another week or 2 and pass on to Zoe whatever there is.

Actually, this community has been very generous in the past, that's why I'm taken aback that after ~40 days we've only amassed ~$254.15 of a mere ~$600 campaign.

Bumping thread... seems to have lost a little of the early momentum. Sad

C'MON YOU GUYS, ante up! A few cents here and there and we can hit this! It's already halfway there (although, yeah, recent BTC price drop hasn't helped IF we are measuring this in fiat value for Zoe's $600 rather than just 2-whole-bitcoins, as the target goal...?)

MOST of the recent little transactions on this address have been mine, I believe, as I've just been tossing ten or twenty cents into the kitty via "dust" leftover transactions on my day to day bitcoin wallet's management (I like to keep things to whole-btc numbers if possible, and yeah I know that's kinda anal LOL).

Usually I just throw away that dust by fooling around with it in one of the online bitcoin casinos, where you can play blackjack for a fraction of a penny per hand, BUT lately I've been giving it to Zoe here instead.

IF some of y'all out there can ALSO start doing something similar? I think we'd hit this goal of 2 BTC in no time.

C'mon... Grin

Every time I post, the federal agents that are spying on the Bitcoin world tell AUSA Korver and she gives Burt's attorney an earful.

Oh to be a fly on the wall... surely, Korver's at least _heard of_ the First Amendment?

Hello,

This is Zoë's mom, Jean.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the fund for our daughter. She has always been quite the saver and was hoping to go to rock climbing camp this summer.

We appreciate your concern for our daughter. She is very traumatized by these events.

I've been asked not to post anymore. Every time I post, the federal agents that are spying on the Bitcoin world tell AUSA Korver and she gives Burt's attorney an earful.

Thanks, Jean

Weekly bump. Now up to 21 donations. But seemingly slowing. That can't be the best we can do, can it?

Maybe if you think of it as blowing a great big raspberry in the masked face of some indignant stormtrooper? Imagine letters of your choosing on the breast of their tactical vest - DEA, IRS, ATF, TSA, GAW, ...

Think about it, won't you?

Ha... I just posted above and looks like two people had exactly the same idea at the same time.

Two separate transactions just came in for 0.00215648 each from different addresses: someone trying to top it up to exactly 1.0 bitcoin

Several more have donated, but they are not seeking public acknowledgement. Total of fourteen donations for 0.95313003 BTC - nearly halfway there. Thanks to all who have contributed.

Actually a couple of the sub-$1 transactions were mine too... just tossing in a little more "loose change" dust from a couple of my lesser-used wallets there.

But... "aaaaah" c'mon you guys, we're at 0.99xxxx seriously? Someone throw in fifty cents more worth and at least tip it over to 1.0 whole bitcoin!!
