Topic: The happy BTC circular donation thread - page 3. (Read 14718 times)

Like Bitcoin did to our lives:) (and altcoins!) for all of us we are in the community, and not only!

EDIT: I found this donation amazing. Well Done!!

That has to be life-changing

Just got back from India!  The trip was everything I had hoped it would be and more. The women's conference we hosted was so well received that by the third night we had about 1000 women in attendance and they were so touched by us doing that for them.  We also hosted a medical camp with food distribution for 350 lepers.  So hard to believe that leprosy is still a problem in some parts of the world.  We put in water wells, two at elementary schools and the others at little village churches.  We visited orphanages, a home for women bought out of the sex trade, and elderly homes. Everywhere we went we were treated like celebrities there.  I guess it is unusual for blond women to walk around there.  Just smiling and shaking their hands or giving the women a hug made some of them tear up.   It was so humbling.  There is still plenty of needs there.  This particular organization is really growing and working on building more colleges to provide education and a chance for a better life for the children in that area.  If anyone is interested in donating I highly recommend going to www.harvestindia.org and checking it out.  They do not waste any funds from what I observed and the money received really impacts people that desperately need it. It really is shocking the standard of living there compared to what we have in the United States.  Something as simple as a clean public restroom is not even available even in the cities.  I foolishly thought that there would at least be Mcdonalds sprinkled throughout the cities we were in.  In Hyderabad I did see a few, but not in Vijiwada or Tenali. 

What was interesting is that everyone appears to have cell phones.  Many vendors do not take credit cards and Bitcoin could be a huge help to the people in these villages if they were introduced to it.  It will be interesting to go back there in a few years and see if things have changed in payments there from what it is now. 

Come back in here to see Bitchicks posts as I have Off-Topic blocked here.

Also still doing a great job Risto!  & to you you Bitchick be careful and do good things.

Much blessing for your trip! Funny that you also go to Andhra Pradesh, where I was on a mission trip exactly 10 years ago, in November 2004!

I am leaving today for India!  Thank you so much Risto for your contribution towards this trip! I will pray your generous gift will be rewarded 100X!  We will be there 13 days and we are installing 7 water well throughout parts of Andrah Pradesh, hosting a medical camp and providing food clothing for a colony of people suffering from leprosy, and hosting a large women's conference for 500 women.  I am singing a song for them in Telugu called Sada Kalamuu Neto Nenu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f889BequyzQ. I will also be speaking a bit there too.  I am even going to tell the founder of Harvest India to check out Unocoin and look into taking some Bitcoin donations. 

See you in a couple weeks!   

You will always be remembered for inventing the concept "hodling".

Thank you 

Again, I still can't get over the value that this gift has already just given me in feeling
Thank you (again, again, again...)!

Thank you, socio.  I am humbled.

I would like to donate 200 mBTC to joesmoe2012 for the inspiring entrepeneurship he and others like him practice all over the world. 50 mBTC go back to Thorkil (Sword Smith) as token recognition to his unwaveringly sympathetic, honest and encouraging character, helping start businesses all over Europe as I speak.

The rest, 250 mBTC, I shall keep (1PWXzXgGPHKaiZcM2hZKgBkJz1LBVx6rCV) to help promote Sirius Iberia, whose effects should revert to the Bitcoin world as the first professional Bitcoin brokering firm in Spain.

Thank you Risto for coming up with this great idea, and Sword Smith for the generous donation, I really appreciate it. Here is how I'd like to split up my 500 mBTC:

100 mBTC to Manfred Macx who is doing a great job helping to run http://crobitcoin.com Bitcoin news portal
50 mBTC to stick as I often use http://coinmap.org/
350 mBTC I'd like sent to myself ( 1B2VW51LweF2f74xo4bqvnGCdcByLCtX5i ) that I'll distribute accordingly: 200 mBTC will go to Klemo Vladimir (not registered on this forum), Bspend developer who himself doesn't have any bitcoins yet! 50 mBTC I'll give to Ivan Simurina (also not on the forum) who is helping promote Bitcoin in Croatia. 100 mBTC I'll use to pay a part of monthly http://www.bspend.com hosting

Well I only got 80mBTC but I will keep 40mBTC to get monero and with the rest I will divide it equally between all the people who posted on my locked thread and wished me a happy birthday!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=482813.0;all

All the people who wished me a happy birthday will receive an equal amount!
Also they must have their BTC address in their signature OR profile!

Thanks again for giving me the honor of beeing part of something this big!

I counted them and there are only 5 valid ones as for the 6th I don't know what it is
so 40mBTC will be split equally between them

I have decided to pass my 1 btc that Risto Pietilä gave me on to the community. I would also like to throw in a little bit myself.

I would like to donate 500 mBTC to Andres Moreno, "Pruden" on this forum, who is running Sirius Iberia together with me, a Spanish Bitcoin broker service. He is one of the most honest and structured persons I know and I look forward to cooperating with him. I would also like to donate 500 mBTC to Vedran Kajic from Croatia, "bSpend" on this forum, whom I met in Copenhagen. He lived here for two weeks where he tried to survive on bitcoins only. He is working on a project of revolutionizing the bitcoin broker business in Croatia and I have made some contacts for him facilitating this (I can't tell yet, it is still a secret). I would like to support a growing Bitcoin interest in Croatia. Vedran also runs bSpend which is a bitcoin market place.

Last but not least, I would like to donate some bitcoins to the person that has given me the most contacts, given me a lot of awesome experience, and has presented me to a lot of economic and monetary theory. That guy is Risto Pietilä. Without him, I would never have met Andrés Moreno, Jeremias Kangas, Michael Dupree, Otto de Voogd and many others. Therefore I would like to donate 1 bitcoin to Risto Pietilä.

Now I tried to have all of them listed. Quite many has not yet decided, so I'll send PM shortly to remind!

Thanks rp, it's good to receive the recognition more than any amount of money. It might not seem like I'm always around on the forum, as I try to limit my posting to my best original observations. I hope this means I'm choosing my moments well, seeing as you remembered someone who mostly lurks! And thanks also for drawing my attention to the thread, it's a great concept (and what a contrast it is to that which often appears on the forum). I will gladly accept the gift.

I'm going to draw up a list of people to continue the philanthropy, just trying to think of some overlooked recipients (there's no point giving to obvious people like the core development guys, they're probably at a level of bitcoin holdings where they'd only appreciate favors that money can't buy). There are a few forum handles making their way to the front of my mind, as soon as I've remembered a few I will post them + amounts here.

I will also donate to the QubesOS project, as they are making great progress in the field of computing security, and deserve some recognition, promotion, and not least, some funding. I strongly recommend using QubesOS for your online computing, in particular for secure use of bitcoin wallet software.

Edit: to stick to the true spirit of this thread, I'm donating to Qubes using the Armory donation matching scheme.

Thank you very much RyN!

I'll use it wisely to rebuild my financial empire! 

Here's the pain relieving address: 1Fb3jmh18AfVdVRs1ZQr7A88p1LBbThDPm

Wow! So much money has been gifted and people made happy! This makes me also happy. Sorry I haven't had the opportunity to update the table in the OP yet, since yesterday we started the Summer Retreat in Malla and the first day closed at about 11 am when people began to go to sleep after waiting for breakfast in vain for 2 hours (it was promised at 9 am but there were issues...)

Thanks for the nomination

Thanks, aleks. I'll try to figure out what do with them.
