The funds have been converted and sent to ICCF.

I think the more people see this post the better

Just curious how you'll decide when to cash out and transfer for him?

I'll probably convert when it is necessary that the money be sent to Bram.
No real interest in converting before.

Wow, nice.

For converting the bitcoins into euro: I transfer money to Uganda three
times a year: end of April, August and December. It would be good if
you can send the euros one or two weeks before the end of these months
to the ICCF bank account. Or more often, if the balance is getting a
bit high or when you think the exchange rate is good.

Basically any charity that accepts bitcoin will receive $1000 dollars in bitcoin. Currently run by Rassah and edd(possibly others, I don't know) of this forum.

Hey, doesn't this make the charity a candidate for Bitcoin 100 now?

That's $1000 to them unless I'm missing something.

So who pledged and didn't donate? I can easily count 12 BTC pledges and some extra donations on top of that?

P.S. - Maybe this helps out a frustrated newbie:  one of my biggest gripes with VIM that almost made me give up on it when I was learning, was the seemingly asanine decisiion to use the "ESC" key to exit insert mode, since it forces your left hand to leave the home keys, all the time.  I later found out that you can use Ctrl-[ to exit insert mode, and that was what I needed to be happy.  If you hated because of the escape key, give it another shot now Smiley

QFT. This is good advice. I'm a happy user of `setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape`. I noticed the other day that google chromebooks go so far as to replace capslock with a kind of quick-search button.

I like vim much, and would like to donate too. But I'll rather wait for the btc address to be shown somewhere officially, for example here: http://iccf-holland.org/donate.html or http://www.vim.org/sponsor/index.php

Sure, as long as you rate me on OTC afterwards :-)

Bram said he would publish it on the vim mailing list, I didn't subscribe so I don't know if he did it yet, he asked if he could publish the address on the ICCF website which I advised him to do.

Either way, if you can't wait to donate you can e-mail him directly and/or ask Mike Hearn for confirmation (he helped convince Bram, they know each other IRL, they both work in Google's Zurich offices).

What does everyone think I should use to get the funds converted ? Since BC isn't back up yet I'm thinking about either Bitstamp or OTC (my heart goes towards OTC Cheesy)

what is "vim" ?

It's a text editor for programming that has a pretty steep learning curve.  It's terribly confusing if you don't know how to use it, but becoming proficient at it means that you can code for hours at much higher efficiency, without your fingers ever leaving the keyboard (mouse not required).

I've been using it for years, and at least partially attribute my success in developing Armory to it.  For me, it's like converting brainwaves directly in code modifications Smiley

I just sent my pledge of 3 BTC:

I assume you can trust the owner of the transaction, because I made sure it came from my own donation address.  I hope that is sufficient identity for you (you can match the address to the one on my homepage:  https://bitcoinarmory.com/).
