By the way, can I ask if all the users that will be helped by this program are very own bitcointalk members right. I read the criteria, how about those lower rank than full member, but in dire need of financial support? Can we not considered them?
It is a very hard problem between protecting the donation fund against scammers and not excluding people in actual need. It is also a question of how many people end up asking one way or another. In any case, those not fitting the criteria may contact us regardless and we will see if we can do something with the application or not.
