James, can you put in an auto update on how much was raised in the OP, or just update manually every few hours so people are not forced to check the address.
Not sure how to do an auto-update, but i'll definitely check and update occasionally!
Change the address to a blockchain.info link -

Many who don't know anything about it read main stream media like this and then conclude, ah look it's Bitcoin again, that currency that's only used by hackers and people doing illegal things.
Hackers who give discounts? The hacker had some heart by lowering the price but he should have made her just keep her btc and unlock her computer because you don't scam old ladys who are probably poor and spend all their money helping helpless animals.
Makes me want to throw up all over my computer when I read these stories and listen to the pain in her voice on the radio show.
Is there any way to track down the hackers and try to get them arrested?
WTF?? He even negotiated and lowered the price? That's like him saying "yeah I know what I'm doing is wrong, but fuck you." What a dirt bag.
