I'm sort of in the same boat except I do take issue with a couple of the charities listed. I know first hand that one of the charities HAS been shady to people in it's family of companies. Though, it wasn't the actual charity's decision to do so. At least one company under it has recently been forcing employees to attend fundraisers and have been deducting a percentage if their check against their will. Another of the charities has recently been promoting an agenda that few people here or the even general population supports. Another charity I just don't get along with their philosophical views.

Either way, I'm setting all that aside for now and don't intend to rock the boat. Just for the sake of helping out some people and continuing the bitcoin experiment.

Thank you kindly for your enlightening post. Please understand you don't have to be a supporter of Bitcoin100 to be part of the discussion. We'll always treasure your input either way. As far as the list of charities in the OP are concerned, I simply put together that list during the brainstorming process of all this. It's quite possible that no charity on that list will be considered due to whatever. Feel free to offer up a charity close to your heart, and I'm sure it'll be duly considered whether you've pledged or not. I hope I've addressed your post to your liking, AgoraMutual.

Oh no, I support Bitcoin100 100%. I was replying to edd and others were talking about not participating because of what their BTC may end up funding. I wasn't complaining about the selections. My point was that: No one will support all of the charities all of the time but that's no to reason back out. The goal, for me, right now isn't to actually support these charities. Just open the door for everyone to donate bitcoins, at will, in the future. That's why I didn't call them out by name. If I support one charity more than another then I will send in more than one bitcoin to that particular call for funds but still pledge at least 1BTC to any and all charities you decide to contact.
