Hi guys. First batch went out: https://blockchain.info/tx/901736b274a8f41b3914365cb6b5c9cba6f81bd97e8fbc9e9837221635ea65cc

Bruno, update who was sent to so we don't accidentally double-send.

It was a pleasure to work with you, and to work on Bitcoin100. I apologize for letting it slide so badly after taking it over. Honestly, just tracking the funds and dealing with charities was a huge job, where every time I sat down to reconcile funds, answer new email requests, and help charities get set up, it was an 8+ hour span of work, and even one or two days of that was getting too much with my other full time jobs. I started dreading sitting down to do it, and unfortunately no one else offered to step up and take over. Being in charge of the money, I also worried about any issues of conflicts of interest, where I both choose whom to donate to, and have the money to donate. It would have been too easy for me to donate to a charity I pick which gives me a kickback in return. Not that I would consider doing such a thing, but I wanted this project to be as honest and transparent as possible, and this would muddy the waters in a way that couldn't be proven to be true or not.

Anyway, thank you Bruno for setting up the project, I have been very happy to be involved, and this is a good way to wind it down. With regards to money going my way, although I kinda need money myself, I'll probably redirect it elsewhere anyway. Plenty of people who need it more than I do (plus I can always just spend a few extra nights driving for Uber/Lyft to make up any shortfalls)
