Keep up the good work.

I sent two more for the next two charities after My Refuge House (already honored)

A feast for the eyes in any case

This was actually intentional - a word play on PayPal suggesting you can pay friends (pay a pal) and businesses rather than using the brand PayPal (or any other similar payment provider). If it wins (which is unlikely) I'm happy to turn it into PayPal if that is more to the point and less confusing.


Thanks, this is a mock version of the mastercard slogan which uses "there is" - that's why, but your E-Prime version works fine. Thanks making and including it.

Entry outside the competition and a bit more provocative

I'll give it another try:

That would be the E-Prime rule. I could modify it to meet that rule but it'd be half as witty. Why is E-Prime important here? Would be good if this could be discussed...

Oh and possibly because if Bitcoin counts as a word itself we're up to 15 - not sure if that's it?

Can certainly be improved in terms of artwork on the tee...

Good and generous ideas here! I'd recommend you get in touch and team up  with the Bitcoin100 initiative - they are promoting charities adopting BTC for fundraising. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52543.0 for example and http://bitcoin100.org/

Dear Bitcoin100 community,

once again: Thank you all for supporting us! We got 16 more BTC from your generous donation activities and now achieved the state, perfectly meshing with your group name: We are now BITCOIN100! :-)

Please let me address some special thanks @Phinnaeus Gage, who pushes Bitcoin100 with his untiringly commitment. Also @Rassah, who, in my external perception, stands for the strictly correct accountancy of your initiative. And last but not least @jsmithers, our personal Bitcoin-consultant, who initially established the contact and who is so kind to post the messages of BUND Berlin e.V. to you.

So, have some nice christmas days and good luck for all the ongoing and coming kickstarter-campaigns!

Thorsten Edler
BUND Berlin e.V.

To everyone supporting Bitcoin100,

BUND Berlin e.V. wants to thank you for accepting us in your charity initiative and your generous efforts in supporting us with the great bitcoin donation, that arrived to us last night. Thank you all, who are involved in Bitcoin100 and who recommended donations to get us "kickstarted" with Bitcoin. This is a very new experience for us and still a positive one. So, we hope this will go on a long time. :-)
Last but not least, we hope, that our Bitcoin activities will be a helpful contribution to promote the Bitcoin issue furthermore.

We wish all of you some nice christmas days and for Bitcoin100 a continuing advance in supporting many other NGOs.

Regards,
Thorsten Edler
BUND Berlin e.V.

=PS=
And to all of you, who perhaps were too late with donations for the BUND-fund at Bitcoin100 and would like to reacht 100 BTC (we're at 85 now), don't worry, because: 1BboU9QH4kcNeDqdr7xBUZ4GrFgfhNaVBd is still with you (and us)!
So, dare to use it. ;-)

In the PM it might be a good idea to mention to sign up for the newsletter on the site if they haven't. It's probably much easier to use the newsletter for calling in donations?

Are you referring to http://weis2012.econinfosec.org/presentation/Breuker_presentation_WEIS2012.pdf ?
I'd appreciate if you could explain the ppt / pdf linked earlier. It looks fairly strange to me. The assumption there is to use 0.3% of all USD payment transactions as budget in electricity for the PoW network. He arrives at ~17600 Petaflops of power, so around 1385 Terahash of SHA256 compute power (according to the ratio on bitcoinwatch.com). While all other arguments of the presentation stay valid with BFL ASIC technology rated at 1W/GH it should be possible to build this size of network at 1,4 MW, give it 2,8 MW for the hosts computers involved. He states himself that interest in PoW would trigger innovation - well it already has.

Which other conclusions does the paper arrive at that I'm missing or are we talking about another paper?

There is a public payment hash on the BUND site now (it was added earlier this week). It's still cleared via Bitpay but public for everyone who wants to do this public - see the top of http://www.bund-berlin.de/bund_berlinde/spenden/bitcoin-spenden/BTC_eng . It's probably the address Bitcoin100 should use to donate as well.
