Title: Indiegogo Campaign with Bitcoins? Post by: Nonprofit on June 04, 2013, 03:17:52 AM Hello world!
I'm the manager of a modest environmental indiegogo campaign, and I'm trying to weigh the advantages of opening up our campaign to receive bitcoin donations. The indiegogo platform itself does not facilitate transfers, so I would have to do the leg work myself, later donating the funds in USD to the campaign. Advice? In terms of money flow, I'm thinking about this: 1. Contributor send bitcoins to my wallet. 2. I convert bitcoins to USD 3. I donate USD to campaign, recognizing donor name, guaranteeing perks, etc. I could also use some secure advice on the most trusted intermediaries, etc. I've done a fair amount of reading over the past few weeks, but I still fancy myself, well...an utter noob. I do have a verified Mt. Gox and Dwolla account though. (Yes, I know Dwolla is not transfering to mtgox right now) I can't post links (like I said, noob) but you can check out our campaign by searching ASI Conserva Chile on the indiegogo homepage.

The problem I see is lag time because some of those projects can take 6 months to fulfill, and BTC may have doubled during that time! hmmmm

I assume you were referring to the campaign projects, correct? Title: Re: Indiegogo Campaign with Bitcoins? Post by: bbit on June 18, 2013, 10:42:50 PM Why not Bitcoin Crowdfunding? ???

Hi friend! Title: Re: Indiegogo Campaign with Bitcoins? Post by: bbit on June 19, 2013, 02:18:07 AM btw: what is the indiegogo campaign?
Title: Re: Indiegogo Campaign with Bitcoins? Post by: Micon on September 10, 2013, 05:39:54 PM 1) I am giving to this Indiegogo no matter what: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/project-daily-nk-amplify-the-north-korea-info-flow
2) we should as the bitcoin community lobby Indigogo to accept bitcoin naitively 3) if OP simply adds a bitpay or Coinbase merchant account [instantly convert to USD] that links to the indiegogo payment page [if they accept an ACH bank xfer like a check] or will need a trusted party to accept & re-ship. Either way bitcoin price immaterial. Title: Re: Indiegogo Campaign with Bitcoins? Post by: scarsbergholden on September 10, 2013, 05:41:15 PM I like indiegogo over kickstarter.
Title: Re: Indiegogo Campaign with Bitcoins? Post by: wasserman99 on September 10, 2013, 08:11:44 PM seems okay for everyone donating but a big hassle for you -- plus, tax issues re btc<-->fiat, seems like a big hassle imo
