Yes I think that's right.
Thanks guys
Topic: Seriously could use some donations to cover my advocacy! (Read 1477 times)
Agree with others: If you can prove it some might donate (not me though, I have only 7 coins;))
You'll get a better hearing if you provide us with the links and more information about where you will be going, have been, and what exactly you talked about. Not too long ago people tossed around bitcoins like they were play money. But ever since they hit $2 or so, people have started thinking of them like cash.
I'm sure there might be a few people willing to support you, you just need to make a stronger case for yourself.

Kind of funny how badly this is going.
Gosh guys, you are being pretty harsh. But on the other hand, you are asking for money on an internet forum. Of course there aren't going to be a ton of people willing to just send you cash unless they are very convinced you are doing what you say and that it is having a real impact.
I was invited and I'm a good speaker and there's evidence. Talked for about an hour and a half today for the Bay Area Hacker's Association at Noisebridge in SF. It went very well, but its getting expensive.
Did anyone ask you to make these speeches?
Did you announce them in advance and ask for donations to cover them or have you organised them anyway and now want others to pay?
Are you a recognised high quality public speaker that we would want to pay for your services?
BTW: I've sending you all happy thoughts today, and as a professional happy thinker my services have cost me $100 so far. Come on guys, send me some coins to cover my expenses.

Just sell some t-shirts or something at your speeches.
hooray thank you for standing on a soapbox and shouting at the passerbys. We need more soapbox net hobos begging cash. 
Surely these speeches were advertised in advance, right? Care to provide links so we can verify that these speeches actually took place, and that it was you that gave them?
Quit trying to mooch off of other people and make your own damn money.
I'm doing two speeches this weekend and two more later this week. Yesterday's cost me about $80, and that's in addition to ongoing advocacy costs. Please donate folks! I'm not getting rich here, I've got no donations yet. I'll report on what I get in donations.
