I don't want to drop the ball on the NGO I am in contact with. So I want to have definitive answers for them soon. Bitcoin to Euro transfers via SEPA, frensh bankaccount.
What would guys suggest?

BitPay with 4% fees, hassle-free?
MtGox with 0.6%+1% fees?
Something different?

They are a registered NGO/Charity in France. BitPay didn't even reply to my PM and mail.
So I fear that asking BitPay to forward costs and fees to us will result in no answers too, and just steal more time..

For now, I don't see an alternative to a diy-automated MtGox account..

Ente email me personally please I haven't seen anything about this before tony@bitpay.com

No problem here, Tony. Thanks for looking into it.

Later, bud.

thanks

sorry since Wordpress our new signups and inquiries have increased by 200%. There has not been much time to respond to all the people asking for special requests.

Thank you, Tony.
I just wrote you an email.
It is all fine if you take your time. Now that I know someone will get back to me I already am happy :-)

Cheers!

Ente

Well.. Been almost two months, I would like to pick up on that again.
edit: Bruno, would you be so kind and mention this to Bitpay as you are in contact with them at the moment?
Else I try again with mail and PMs..

It seems like we have enough funds for some 1000$ donations.
As soon as I hear back from Bitpay/Tony (or find a different reliable solution) I will try to finish it with the NGO I am in contact with.

Ente

Let's get moving on this, Ente. Currently, we have $7,259.31 USD in our coffers at today's exchange rate. That's enough to easily fund 7 NPOs?NGOs with $1,000 USD each. Since basically we're offering your NGO a $1,000 gift, the fee to exchange it to their local currency shouldn't be an issue. But it is an issue with Bitcoin 100's belief system--no non-profit should ever have to pay a fee to accept donations.

The bottom line is that we would love your NGO to start accepting Bitcoin as one of their donation options. And we're willing to donate $1,000 USD in BTC plus an extra $50 in BTC to cover any cost they may incur during the transferring said donation to their local currency if BitPay proves to not be an option.

I just sent Steve with BitPay a PM and I'm sure he or Tony will take another look at your unique situation. Would you be so kind as to drop me a line next Tuesday at the latest if this issue needs to be pursued further?

I do understand that my suggestion will only cover the fee this time around, buy rest assure that in the future if fees are still an issue with further Bitcoin donation, the cost will be covered one way or another. This is another aspect of the new Bitcoin 100 of which I will soon cover.

Bitpay has still not processed the withdrawl for MyRefugeHouse, and I don't think the director will promote it until they come through. I know bitpay has been busy, and they are looking to hire more people, but it would be nice if they could speed this up a bit.

The director is very happy since I pointed out to her that the bitpay balance is still in bitcoins, and that the value is almost $20 now.

As you may have read above, I just sent a PM to Steve with BitPay to address this very issue. Meanwhile, Bitcoin 100 has $1,000 USD awaiting the charitable organization you bring to us, Seth.

EDIT: Steve with BitPay just sent me a PM. The first BTC50 was sent to their bank on Jan. 10, 2013 and they should be seeing soon. Bottom line, they're on top of it now.

Hope it doesn't reverse before you handle her transaction.

It won't.

Rassah just sent the final BTC18 to My Refuge House. https://blockchain.info/tx/6b7d65657e5da0838561ba92919feba8c192409521ad2d5b2057e2493355e1b4
