What has been the typical setup on bitcointalk for charity bitcoin addresses? My youngest sister is with a missions group that got to the Philippines prior to the typhoon and is still there. I know them and the whole country could use a lot of help.
You are encouraged to donate via the official websites, since it is too easy for a noob to create a new account and post a bitcoin address for "donations'".
I don't think there are "official" ways to donate to victims via bitcoin.
It is a lofty goal still. I haven't seen any Philippines related Bitcoin charity donation addresses. But I do agree someone trusted in the community should set something like that up and even better if they have a local connection with a group like my sister's who can post photo updates to the threads, stories, etc. Those are my favorite types of donating, to actual mission groups on the ground.
