Title: I would like to make a donation to Burnside and Friedcat Post by: CanadianGuy on May 22, 2013, 08:06:50 PM Outside of trading, I would like to make a donation. Can someone provide me with their public keys? I don't expect anything back, I just want to give direct funds to them in order to keep things running smooth. If anyone else thinks this is a good idea please join me!

Since it's unlikely that the motive is support, may I ask why you feel so gratified? it is most definitely support though. I want to contribute to boosting the growth in the most direct way possible. It won't be very big, maybe 5 btc Title: Re: I would like to make a donation to Burnside and Friedcat Post by: CanadianGuy on May 22, 2013, 08:14:14 PM sorry is this looking offensive in any way? i can delete this post..

Just unconventional. It's like someone making a donation to a public figure like Steve Jobs or Warren Buffet.If you approve of their actions, and you'd like to acknowledge that by monetary incentives, consider paying it forward (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward). You can ask burnside or friedcat how they think that money should be spent. In this case, I think there is little money can do in order to provide support.

I don't expect to profit more from the support I'm giving, i just realize that they are experiencing delays of different sorts and would like to help. I fully understand my btc probably wouldn't do anything, but even it helps 0.00001% it will make me happy knowing that I am showing full support. I guess it is for my own satisfaction then in an indirect way, lol. if steve jobs was at the very beginning of something great and i was fully invested in him, damn right i would have donated :D |
