Re: Introducing the Bitcoin100: A Kickstarter for Charities
@Edd, that link looks great. Thank you very much for adding it here.
@StewartJ, Welcome aboard! Anyone can pledge at any time as our campaign will continue until Bitcoin is popular enough that Charities take it upon themselves to allow bitcoin donations. Between now and then we should see the Bitcoin100 website come online which can continue to spread the notion of giving to charity with bitcoins.
I am sure as soon as Bruno sees your pledge he will kindly add you to the list. We still need ~5 to reach our 100 member goal.
Yes, I will gladly share any responses I receive here as it should prove valuable in helping us make edits to future writings.
We have a thread about what charities we are aiming to contact first. It is open to all suggestions as well as any insight like what you have provided about PR considerations. I know DWB is on there so far and the others, if not, are excellent additions imho.
I had not given too much thought about which particular orgs would have the biggest PR benefit but I don't see where such a discussion could hurt. That kind of press would be highly impressive.
Thank you for your kind words and for joining in!
Regards,
Derek
P.S. No word back from St. Jude as of Dec. 26th @ 9:50PM EST, -5 GMT. It is not suprising though as a lot of places are closed up through New Years here in the U.S. I have also made a few minor edits to our writing, to include the sentence about bit-pay fees and keyword linking 'processors' to the page Edd posted. I will share it in the morning time here, about 12 hours from now. I want another chance to glance over it with my coffee.
