Und how do we know zat ziz iz not a scam?
ask anyone in the German subforum, mate. some guys have donated $30k. it all started with a bet I won. before I knew I would win I made a statement that I would donate the 0.5 btc if I would win to poor children. and put my 0.5 btc on top of it. then people started to donate. then it went crazy the last few days.
i am also the guy who came up with the btc1k party. (which we had to call off, but all participants got their bitcoin back.)
Ok, I actually did read the German sub forum, and I believe you, but I couldn't figure out at first why it was about a bet and not a charity.
