Re: Introducing the Bitcoin100: A Kickstarter for Charities
I have sent 100 BTC to the donation address to honor my pledge.
Good luck with this whole project!

A special thanks to zhoutong is warranted for his generous donation, thereby beginning to honor his more than kind pledge. Thank you again, zhoutong.
Hi,
do you know the health impact fund? Maybe best described in this video?
How about a Bitcoin Donations Fund? Bitcoiners donate to it. Each month 10% of the collected funds get distributed to accepting charities based on their size (annual funds).
Charities would still have an incentive to be the first to register but also to stay with it in case people donate.
Regards

Thank you for bringing attention to the HIF, Giszmo.
In essence, your ideas is what Bitcoin100 consists of, albeit having a different structure and doling out funds process.
To start that process, I need ALL the names of the entities that current offer this processing service.

BTCinch, BitSpend, and Bit-Pay are the only I've been able to find:~Bruno~

Thank you for your efforts, mcorlett. Any others that need to be added to the list would be truly appreciative.
Are we going to make a thread or wiki entry with current payment processors?
There are some payment processors mixed in with shopping cart interfaces listed on the wiki available at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Shopping_Cart_Interfaces.Although a great page, it may not accomplish what we would like, for it may offer up confusion to the intended reader of the introductory letter.
I'll keep this brief so I don't break up the current discussions too much.
Our first letter has been emailed to St. Jude. It is very close to the last one that you posted, Bruno.
@Zhou Tong, thank you very much for your generous donation!
@Bruno, I adjusted 2 or 3 words to make bit-Pay our recommendation and not the only one available. Are we going to make a thread or wiki entry with current payment processors?
@giszmo, thats an interesting idea. Would you mind sharing it on the Bitcoin Charity List Thread as well?
@mcorlett, Excellent. I tried hunting for a few last night via google searches, etc., for 'bitcoin payment processors'. But got sidetracked reading up on all the stuff I found. Little of which was beneficial to what we were looking for. =)
Cheers,
Derek

Would you be so kind, Derek, as to provide us a copy of the letter sent so that we can have the opportunity to continue to tweak it, albeit ever so slightly, for future mailings. This is by no means meant as a double checking request, but merely as a continuation of the openness of this open source endeavor. Please forgive me if you happen to view this request in a different light.
I, too, get sidetracked when conducting research. Somebody needs to clean up this internet thing. Too much information is currently available, contributing to the confusion of its users.
