Running Tally: [2,703] Meals!

Self-labeling this an innovation, hence starting this thread in the Discussion Section.

I'll start (outlining the goal of this thread below the fold): https://blockchain.info/tx/a73447e8653084b9afee5178f7430c2b93229acdd101c4ecdd09e183bdca1115

Jason King has been doing some amazing things behind the scenes pertaining to Bitcoin. Besides Sean's Outpost (http://seansoutpost.com/), he's now embarking on Satoshi Forest (http://bitcoinmagazine.com/6939/seans-outpost-announces-satoshi-forest/).

http://bitcoinmagazine.com/6939/seans-outpost-announces-satoshi-forest/


Upon reading the above, I couldn't shake an idea outta my head, thus decided to do something about it, hence this thread.

Only with your help will the title of this thread live up to its namesake. Together, let's see how many people one thread can feed.

Post #2 will showcase the tally, sans names of the kind donors. All I ask of posters is to supply the count number (one being the minimum at only $1.25--five US quarters) and the link to the Blockchain address/hash.

I'm donating once a day to act as a daily bump for this thread in case it stagnates. For those in other countries used to their local currency, simply get it close enough, whereupon it'll be counted as the desired $1.25 USD.

Feel free to donate multiples of $1.25, but at least once is all that's asked.

For what it's worth, down the road some man, woman or child you'll never meet will be thanking you for their $1.25 meal while you're setting in your favorite chair with a full bully playing a $50 game on an XBox.

For simplicity purposes, consider using the following format:

Number to be fed at $1.25 each thanks to your donation: Blockchain Hash URL

(I donated $1.25: Blockchain Proof)

EDIT: As shown at the beginning of this post, some alt coins can be donated as well, with the corresponding addresses provided. Feel free to use a similar format if one of them is used so that I can do a quick check via the provided link and add to the tally in Post #2.

Hungry people fed to date thanks to those who've donated via this thread: Tally may include numbers by efforts on other social media sites, namely Reddit, of which at this penning nobody has taken the incentive to start such.

Sean's Outpost donation address: 1M72Sfpbz1BPpXFHz9m3CdqATR44Jvaydd

Great idea for a thread! Bitcoin is trading at around $125 at the moment so that makes it easy: I'll donate 0.1 BTC (-fee) to feed 10 people:

https://blockchain.info/tx/3a40b60d4634c53da6ea2f074bf470125aab92dc44325d7c30242374e5b914b2

Hope to see this thread grow!

off topic but still a free bump:

could you check gamingforgood.net? someone (you) should make them accept bitcoins!

recent news about this charity: http://kotaku.com/league-of-legends-player-raises-106-000-for-charity-in-1277236597

Holy hell.

You guys are amazing. Thank you so much.

I'm bleary eyed and groggy this morning, making sandwiches for sack lunches. This gave me a giant smile. you guys rock.

Awesome, the only thing weird is you're using a btc address you use for personal stuff?

You should check out MRE's they're good in my opinion and you can get them super cheap.

$0.64 each http://www.cheaperthandirt.net/product/MRE-296?utm_source=GoogleShopping&utm_medium=organic&gclid=CNb17fGM0LkCFWho7AodSgkAPg

Great initiative! I will donate something when I'll get back at home this evening.

Yeah man. We actually have barrels and barrels of MRE stuffs in reserve at the outpost, literally. I also keep them in my trunk for when I see guys out and about outside of normally schedule sharings.  They are great because they are shelf stable and keep for damn near ever.

We don't use them everyday, because they are actually fairly expensive. The link you showed is just the side dishes from an MRE. A full MRE is $5-6. So we stockpile them for emergencies/disasters. Hurricanes are prevalent down here.

We can build a complete meal and deliver it for a much lower price point ($1.25) that's why we do that on a daily basis.

Good looking out though!

A picture of one of the meals would be good as well.

The Anatomy of a Sean's Outpost Sack Lunch. This is the exact meal that is being delivered today.
https://i.imgur.com/DTMkl81.jpg
The sandwich is ham and pepperoni.

Move over Roger Ver! I don't think he could do the same with $1.25 USD. (in ref. to Jesus feeding a group with one fish)

More comments, another donation, and updating Post #2 forthcoming.

Awesome! At first I thought you made a mistake with the decimal placement till I read further. Following your lead (math wise), I just sent BTC0.01 (I've got to figure out the proper placement of the BTC symbol, moreover, what's more aesthetically pleasing).

Some 12 year old child may be thanking you because of this donation. (no apologies for using child to further this cause, for it's not outside the realm of possibility that that's the case)


Thanks, bud. Hope all is well in TN. BTW, I'm the one who had the contract to set the windows and doors, paint, wallpaper, insulate, and install the metal studs, drywall, acoustic ceilings, and cove base at the then new http://www.williamsonmedicalcenter.org/. Perhaps, one of your kids was born there.

This was my first time spending bitcoin, I think this is the link you need? https://blockchain.info/tx/4470e09b67f32c2559b72659160ab9293eb586ee046636c713ba2b802192b78b

I bought ten lunches :)

Awesome, once more. Will up Post #2 in a sec.

BTW, if anybody wants to following the lead of this thread and take the incentive to do the same over at Reddit or some other social media site, please do. But please realize that it'll take a little work to man it properly. Once a day or so, post in this thread the current or running tally so that I can add it to Post #2 of this thread.

To date, the following number of people will be fed:

[23]

Save the fuckin' tears till when we reach 100. Girls today!  ;D ;D ;D

As soon as I get home to my wallet, I would be more than happy to feed 10. People like you are pretty much the only reason I still have faith in humanity. If Im ever in the area I will drop by and help.

Thanks for all you do, and making it easy for people like me to bee lazy but still contribute!

thanks man!

You are always welcome

Address Bump: 1M72Sfpbz1BPpXFHz9m3CdqATR44Jvaydd

Will add that to Post #2 and make sure it's highlighted enough in the OP.

Nice idea.

100: https://blockchain.info/de/tx/48b53113b9b0611b51520616062d1535a0ea34de833d448006613dfbeae58e94

Hope i got the format right.  ;)

Just sent 1 coin.  Thank you so much for doing this!

100: https://blockchain.info/de/tx/60abb05ad942750d7ee32d57398efa32dd16a96e1a7b1475d72507c7ea3dc46b

HOLY HELL MAN!

That's amazing, thank you so much.


Phin said I couldn't cry until we got over 100 meals. Do I have permission now?

This is fuckin' great! But, you do realized you made Jason King cry, don't you?


Would you be so kind as to add the Blockchain hash link so that I can this to Post #2?

EDIT: Jason and I were posting at the same time. Go ahead and cry!  ;D

Sorry about that.  ;D

Holy shit! I misread your intent. I thought you were only sending $1.25, somehow glancing over the word coin. I was asking for proof so that I can add [1] to the tally, but now I have to add another 100. Awesome, dude.

.15 Donated!
https://blockchain.info/tx/140f28929be996b7b918e850147f4e376a1af640c88e17fb19850b810afa7fac

this thread has been alive for 12 hours, and how many people has it fed?  220 or so? :)

This seems really cool! Bummer that I don't have any to spare at the moment.

500: http://blockchain.info/tx/fbfa630a027dacdda1ae9bbf68f548d0154e614e1231c41f35fcd7e16b14c5de

Not cryin', but full of goosebumps, dud. Totally rad (assuming this word is still in vogue)!

Incredible!  

If I did the math correct, this transaction equates to feeding 15 people. Somebody correct me if I'm in error, for that's what I'm putting in Post #2.

Thanks so kindly, bud.

When I started this thread, I only envisioned a slew of $1.25 donations with possibly a small handful give more. As seen in Post #2 of this thread, but the reverse is happening. You people are so weird, but in a good way.

Via a PM, the following transaction: http://blockchain.info/tx-index/aa246e3775a8d3d1500420ffed9c739a7f26a34d1c1d7bc66c8b6c9c65828c6c

Don't know why the person opted to do it this way oppose to on this thread, but will respect their anonymity. This equates to feeding 50 people.

In my mind, I was hoping for only 20-30 at most within the first 24 hours, but now it's not outside the realm of possibility to see 1000.

[788] people fed!

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/Levels_of_Giving.html

I can see the appeal.  Sometimes you want to be anonymous because it is about the work being done, not about the giver. 

Nice link. Thanks, bud.

This is so generous. I am really humbled by your kindness. We will put it to very good use.

Thanks you so much.

Jason King

I will get over it :)

Thank you so much

Thank you so much!!!!

This is absolutely astounding. Thank you so much for your generosity.

I am completely humbled. We will do so much good with this.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I plan to redonate periodically

After I get my expenses and etc paid for for my hosting, I think I will donate  a btc or 2 a month to this :)

10: https://blockchain.info/address/1M72Sfpbz1BPpXFHz9m3CdqATR44Jvaydd

I'm putting you down for 12, but please correct me if my maths is mistaken. If correct, your donation makes the current grand total 800 people fed. Thanks again, knight.


It'll truly be appreciated when you get around to it, bud.


And 10 it is, bringing the tally to...

[810] people fed!

I will NOT try to have this hit 1000 within 24 hours, for you guys have already done more than was even dreamt of.

BTW, Jason King didn't have a clue that I had this up my sleeve.

That is not a joke. This was a complete surprise.

I am so humbled by this community. You all are amazing. Thank you so much.


Jason

25 more on behalf of Piper (http://piper.pw)  :)

Now, this is getting outta hand! It was almost 21 hours ago that this thread started and look where it's at now. BTW, thanks, glitch, for your more than kind donation.

I'm not sure if anybody realizes it or not, but some of the donations came from other countries, namely Germany (I believe), so that people in Florida could eat.

Only 165 (X $1.25) to go to reach 1000, but who's counting?

1:  0a72463c3e1b6f4c132ac724c1e657738a0c88452104510975388beeec9cafea

Wish I had more but I've just gotten started.

/Frank

I see what you were trying to do there, but you blew right past it. I believe you missed the 25 count added to the 810, thus only needing 165 to reach the target. I'm adding your 190 to Post #2, unless I did the maths incorrectly.

That said, you da man!


Thanks, Frank. And your 1 brings the total to...

[1,026] people fed!

And for Jason in the morning...

http://www.funnyzone.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/funny-pictures-kitten-is-entranced-by-your-kleenex.jpg

I just want to be on record in stating that I'm personally going to be donating a whole lot more, but at [1] at a time to act as bumps when needed as this journey continues.

Quick aside: I called about obtaining another warehouse today, and the guy was describing to me what'll be available in a few days. I said to him that it sounded like Joe's unit, whereupon he asked me if I knew Joe. Then he informed me that Joe was recently killed in an auto accident. I've supplied a many wood to Joe, and now it looks like I'm going to be leasing his old shop of which I've always wanted. Life is so odd, don't you think?

66:72657acc01e50cc7b82fd07dff9e96b99db11517fa70c5e94c98bf38c4f7c2f5

I think it is amazing how little it takes to do so much

Jason, I love the work you do!
You are a big asset to Bitcoin, and you *do* make the world a better place! Thank you!

Is this here strictly for lunchbags? Or for the outpost in general? Or for both of your projects, the outpost and satoshi forest?

Also, without trying to ruin the good mood in here: Any chance to switch from Nestlé bottled water to any other brand?

I closely follow your work, Jason, and the response on reddit and here - world, you put a smile on my face! :-)

Ente

I have a similar good deed project Ive been meaning to do but not the funds. Need to start a soup kitchen in my community there is none. Is there anyone who would invest in such a thing even though it will be a non profit or is that not cool

Can you post a pic of the sandwich? Is it nutritious? Does it have enough long carbs, proteins and fats? Do you use black or white bread? Do you put pastrama and/or other meats inside of the sandwich?

As we can see with Jason, the community gladly helps out good causes.
I would suggest you to start on your own or lent money, have a bit of structure and planning, document the process, and then reach out to donations. People are vary of posts which ask for money and no proof, no matter if high-interest-loans, miningequipment or charity.
Get startet, it should only take a few hundred bucks and a few weeks. If it works out, this could very well develop into a big thing, for you and for the good cause.

The contrary: I believe you will be much more successfull with a non-profit, than with a stinkin' for-profit! :-)

edit:
I just checked, Jason is registered here for a mere half year. And still, has the full trust of us, handles boggling amounts of funds, and does amazing, huge projects involving planning for decades and calculating with hundredthousands of USD!
Jason, are you actually working full-time on your projects already? The amount of organising and work you get done surely looks like it!

Ente

Yep definitely start small from your own kitchen, ask local grocery stores for food thats nearing 'use-by dates' as donations, seeing as they will be cooked up within a few days it wont go to waste. speak to the local's about donating, or getting grants.

one thing you don't want to do is to be asking for loans.

there are many ways to make funds.
community car wash
selling tickets for a community barbecue
charity auction's (sell your cooking skills to all of the single mothers for one night :D)

now back on topic:
This is a great campaign happening here, once my funds are in one place ill be putting in some donations, i already see its hitting the press too, which should also help the non reddit/forum readers to contribute to it aswell.

Phinnaeus Gage: this bitcoin charity project is the best one yet, i do hope you continue idea's of this magnitude where people can clearly see the end result of their donations, as oppose to the corporate charities with paid employee's that are in existence for the last 50 years

Seans outpost(Jason): your an inspiration to us all, giving up your time to help others, with such as basic necessity. we need more guys like you around the world.

You may also find that there are a few web developers out there who may not have funds willing to donate, but may help develop your website into a bigger focal point for the world, explaining your story, how you got started and the impact it has made. (that kind of stuff).

all in all, great work guys

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your generosity.

This is so awesome. You rock.

DUDE!!!!

That is awesome. Thank you so much, we will put it all to good use.

Everyone in this community has been so generous to us. It's really heartwarming to see.

Jason

Man everything helps. Everything. Thank you.

That is so awesome. Thank you so much. I don't think that is a little..

Thanks for the love.

So, this thread was a complete surprise to me. Phin is just fucking awesome. All of the funds are being donated to our general operations address. That being said, I will use them to keep the spirit of this thread rocking and rolling. For instance, one of the first projects in the forest is building a kitchen for <BITHOC> having our own commercial kitchen and storage will actually allow us to buy at better price points, prepare more nutritious meals, and get the homeless more involved with the preparation of this food. I think everyone would agree that is in the spirit of this thread. But, as with everything we do, we will be fully transparent with what we are using funds for.

Right now they are just sitting in that address while my jaw is on the floor.

As for Nestle. Yeah, fuck nestle. I would never buy Nestle, not just because they are evil, but because they are wholly overpriced. We are cheap bastards who BLEED a bitcent for good. I buy the cheap water. Nestle is NEVER the cheap water. That being said, if someone gives me a dozen cases of NESTLE WATER BOTTLES, guess what we will be serving!

Beggars can't be choosers :)

We actually have a water filtration system in place, and want to start bottling our own. The logistics are just a bit much for us right now. Maybe once we have the kitchen online.

And I guarantee, this community puts a smile on my face just as often!

Thanks so much,

Jason King

 



 

Hey man, I will be happy to help you get started. Truthfully, in the beginning, you need hard work and determination much more than money. What area are you in? What's the homeless population like there? Hows the government opinion on them?

If you really want to help fight hunger in your area, email me at beinghomelessisnotacrime@gmail.com and we will figure it out.

Thank you for caring.

Jason King
Sean's Outpost

Our breads are pretty good, they are fresh baked. We don't use any store bought loves if we can help it. Usually they have a good amount of whole grain. I say usually, because we are at the mercy of our supplier. What's in the sandwich varies a lot. epending on what's cheap and what's available. And we try to have variety so that we aren't serving the same thing every damn day. We did that for 2 weeks because it was uber cheap once. The feedback from the people being served was...suboptimal :) So we try to change it up as much as we can.

On nutrition. We do the best we can at the price point we work at. And that's pretty good considering. Our food is WAY more nutritious than the food served in public schools here. Not that it's saying much. We have a balancing act to perform here. I would ALWAYS prefer to put out high quality, nutritious, organic, awesome food. The price reality doesn't always allow for that.

And you have to realize that there is ZERO benefit to the person you want to help starving to death while you are trying to get a hold of some fair trade, organic, whole grain food.

But we can always do better. And we are always looking for ways to improve. Satoshi Forest is going to be an Organic Farm and Food Forest. That should help a lot next year.

Thanks

jason

Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel so privileged to be part of this community. I am more amazed everyday.

And if you want press...

Our wired article is dropping tomorrow morning, so now is the time to make noise :)

I am not talking about organic vegan foods, more like slow digesting proteins e.g. meat so the poor guys won't faint, most of them are probably craving meat pretty bad and haven't had a proper meal for a while so I'd avoid cheese, chocolate, peanut butter & jelly or other sugary crap.

Of course anything is better than nothing so bless you good sir. Faith in humanity restored.

Yeah man. Meat every day. We try to have some vegetarian options on hand, but we generally mix up chicken, ham, turkey, bologna pastrami, and  pepperoni in some combo.

And we try to provide some kind of long acting carb like granola as well.

Thanks for caring.

Awesome!
Jason, I honestly think you are writing history with this!

Even just reading your posts and updates makes me feel like it's christmas!

Any chance you could share some photos of the action? The Outpost already has such large dimensions, like the huge amount of lunchbags made, I can't imagine how it looks like when it's getting busy there! :-)
No priority, obviously.

Also, after a mere 24h, I already feel late to the party:
102: https://blockchain.info/de/tx/2179e4da2bb4abe2d4e3cb38c09de3b185141e44bc310e295da82cabfa59b197

Looking forward to shake your hand, Jason, someday, somewhere.

Ente

/edit: Ah, complicated math! :-)

Awesome, dude!

Running Tally: [1,092] people fed! (no counting Ente's 102 as seen in the above post, and comment upon below)

While updating Post #2, I had Blockchain still opened on another tab due to verifying this transaction, and I heard a beep. Looks like somebody else just recently donated to Sean's Outpost, of which may or may not become part of the running tally, but I'm leaning toward it will. We'll soon see.

Update: Yep! Ente's post above this one. Now I have to do some more work. This sucks, but in a good a way.

Looks to me like...

102: https://blockchain.info/de/tx/2179e4da2bb4abe2d4e3cb38c09de3b185141e44bc310e295da82cabfa59b197

...since you donated 1 BTC at the current exchange rate. I'm taking the liberty and using the 102 number unless somebody sees an error I'm missing.

Thank you so kindly, Ente.

Two previous 1 BTC donations more closely equated to 100 (X $1.25) fed, hence reflecting such in Post #2. I will kindly adjust them if shown that I was mistaken at the time. I'm doing the maths as best I can, considering I have a rod...

This thread is awesome. You guys are so kind.

I am in aww of the generosity here.

From the bottom of my heart. Thank you

Jason

I would love to shake your hand. People like you are who make what Sean's Outpost does possible. I will never forget that. It's so awesome to do so much good with BTC.

You rock.

Jason

Ain't it amazing in what implementing a brainfart can do?

I wil be making a small donation to this either tonight or tomorrow morning.  Good luck with this!

Well done Jason and keep up the good work.

Have just sent 0.2BTC...

Thanks man. You are awesome

I can't get enough of what everyone is doing to feed the homeless good karma , good karma !

We also are running a Bitcoin Crowdfunding campaign called #HoodieTheHomeless from the Bitcoin Not Bombs crew you can see their campaign here:

Lets help get some clothes on the back of the homeless also!

Thank you for thinking of us.

Thanks a lot, bitcoinchecker. You can see this transaction in Post #2 of this thread. I'm also adding [1] to the count, showing proof in a sec of the transaction.

Perhaps, a realistic goal is in order. How 'bout this? According to Sean's Outpost's site, ~13,000 people have been fed due to their efforts. Let's try to reach 13,000 with thread before Christmas, 2013. I believe that's pretty realistic--not too high, nor too low.

 I dont know , right now you are already at 1.2k and it has been couple of days , by that time you will probably be at 20k+ people fed.

 I want to say here at this time what you guys are doing is noble and I am proud of people donating for this good cause , I on the other hand prefer to throw a bucket of wings on the middle of a dozen homeless person and watch them fight over it while filming it and making money off this. With that money , I will buy more buckets and more homeless to take videos :D Yes I am not a good person I get that. I am usually not this bad,  its just homeless topic that I am not found of.

..you might have a second look at the concept of 'Karma' ;-)
No, seriously. I don't believe in that esoteric crap. But there is something to that "what goes around comes around".
I'm at the smiling end of this deal, and it feels quite good!

20k+? Hell yeah!

Ente

You are crazy.

I like crazy people.

Thanks for implementing this brainfart, it has been amazing so far.

Jason

I would expect nothing less from Prof. Moriarty.

I just realized that I have yet used the word homeless in this thread, although it was implied. I'm sure that a many of those ~13,000 people fed via Sean's Outpost had/have homes/shelter, but for one reason or another were truly hungry.

Here in Sandwich, we have a food pantry to feed the needy, and I'm pretty sure done of those people taking advantage of the program are physically living on the streets.

Not at diss toward the poster.

Yeah, there is a lot that people don't think about. Like if you are poor, alot of times you have to make the choice between paying rent or buying food. Or make the choice not to eat, so that your kids can eat. So we don't ever "qualify" anyone, if you are hungry and you ask me for food, you will eat. Period.

Adding five $1.25 donations due to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296360.msg3187210#msg3187210

We didn't reach that impromptu goal yesterday, but it was a fun effort nonetheless.

Running Tally: [1,274] People Fed! (based on the exchange rate at time of donations)

I just realized why yesterday's goal wasn't reached--the Chicago Bears were playing Pittsburg of which Da Bears won. That, and perhaps the goal was too high.

Therefore, today I'm only going for a Field Goal--[3]. Three people is all that's desire for the duration of today (CST) to donate $1.25 USD each.

To make it even more interesting to help surpass that goal, the first 10 people or transactions (even if done so by one person) that contribute exactly (or close enough) $3.75 (3 X $1.25), I will match their donation.

Full Disclosure: I'll be doing such with the Kool Aid money. Those not aware of the backstory, don't fret it.

Now, please excuse me while I head on over to Newbie and start a thread, one that'll probably make theymos cringe, but hopefully not that badly. Code Term: Phriend of Phinn.  ;D

<It truly saddens me to be the only person to have a [genius] rod in their skull.>  :'(

That is pretty genius. Feed 10 people get a "Get out of Noobie Jail Free" pass.

What will you think of next?

Since nobody has ever seen theymos, thus not knowing what he looks like if he is real, we'll simply draft one of the mods for this future fundraising drive.

Adding [10] to the tally.

That is friggin awesome

We got a little juice over at the Newbie thread, whereupon I sweeten the deal.


I'm also going to be matching The Bitcoin Catalog's [10] donation sometime after midnight.

About 30 minutes left. Any chances of getting at least one person to contribute [3] $1.25 USD so that I can match that as well? This is about as pushy as I get.

Lucky I caught this, thinking tysat was posting some other link. As we can clearly see, tysat was kind enough to donate ~$125.00 of which will now go toward to feeding 100 people. I'll use this post number when I update the tally.

Thank you so kindly, dancupid. Adding [29] to the tally. EDIT: Jason mentioned in the post above this one that the transaction equates to [30]. Please don't take offense with my [29] count due to the exchange rate and to keep the running tally as accurate as possible. A few days ago, said donation would have equated to [30].


And finally, thank you as well, btcbug, for your contribution.

My next post will be showing what I donated as promise from last night's efforts.

That's a lot of grub.

Well done guys.

I can't add it to the tally on this thread. BTW, I'm having trouble finding the transaction. Was a different address used?

I only learnt about Nakowa last night via Google.

The donation was made via the reddit tipping bot so it will go into Jason's reddit account.

From there he will be able to transfer it to the official donating address.

wow. nice of them -
they get karma points indeed.

I also think Phinneaus Gage/Bruno deserves a lot of credit for ceaselessly promoting good causes like this one. Bitcoin is perfect for this kind of stuff! Charity is starting to play a big role in the Bitcoin world, I love it!

I'm humbled by your post, but seriously a simple thank you every now and need is more than enough. I truly gain more pleasure when causes are funded, but get lost for words when it comes time to thank each and every donor, whether it's only bitcents or multiple bitcoins.

To put in perspective, each Christmas I dole out gifts for the joy of giving, but when presented with an unexpected gift, regardless of value, I well up and become lost for words, feeling that thank you isn't good enough.

If Jason King of Sean's Outpost wasn't the champion he is, I wouldn't have taken upon this endeavor.

That said, who has five quarters laying around looking for a cause?

Great, bud. Only one itsy bitsy request though: If it shall come to pass, consider posting any transactions in this thread so that this endeavor's tally count would look more impressive, thus hopefully garner more donations down the line.

I'm still on the road heading home and will be adding owed funds not yet paid due to thermos  ;D keeping this site down for so long.

The above donation ($180) stems from the raffle thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303559.msg3300069#msg3300069

The above donation reflects [6] meals as an ongoing promise to donate $1.25 per day acting a daily bump. I was behind due to the forum being down.

The two donations equate to [158] meals of which this post number will be reflected in Post #2 of this thread.

If my maths is correct, the following reflects this thread's efforts:

Introducing the Sean's Outpost app for Hive (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304060.0;all).

The latest releases will be made available here:
https://github.com/hivewallet/hiveapp-seansoutpost/releases

Issues can be tracked here (please add feature/change requests this way):
https://github.com/hivewallet/hiveapp-seansoutpost/issues

Note to Jason: This is just a first stab at the app, and we are happy to add whatever else you want (it could probably use at least a blurb and some web links, a more relevant photo); we really just wanted to show that we are sincere about building it for you. It will be bundled with the Hive wallet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304060.0;all) from Monday forward.

EDIT: I'd just like to warn everyone here who may not have read our thread: Hive is _HIGHLY_ experimental software, and should be used with enormous care. It's riddled with bugs, but we're working on it.

EDIT II: Sent a donation enough for ~25 meals. More is coming...

EDIT III: Phinnaeus, we just realized that you are not Jason, and that this is a thread about people donating via the thread. If you would prefer, we will remove this post to keep it straight. Sorry about that, and let us know.

I'm pretty sure Phin is cool with this kind of action in the thread, just be sure to include the blockchain transaction for any donation so he can update the meal count appropriately.

Oh and...


THANKS FOR THE DONATION!!

@Phin:

Hell yeah. Thank you!

en re. EDIT III: I apologize if anybody else thinks that I'm formally associated with Jason King's Sean's Outpost. That was never my intention even remotely hijack his endeavor in any shape or form. I simply started this thread/endeavor because I truly believe in Jason's work and felt he's was a cool guy even before meeting him last week in Atlanta, and wanted to further his cause.


Damn right I'm cool with this action.


Thanks, bud, from myself and Jason (again), and will be adding [25] to the tally.

Sean's Outpost app: <SUGGESTION> I noticed the dollar amount is 1,00 with comma. Could you make it 1.25 without the comma? The comma seems to be a European (and elsewhere) thing, whereas in the US the period is always used, assuming the comma was not an error on your part. The reason for the 1.25 amount oppose to a 1.00 minimum donation is that that's the approximate cost to produce one meal via Sean's Outpost, and I feel that it would help embed the mindshare from a marketing (for lack of a better word) standpoint.

Yeah I was just thinking about that too; we'll fix it. The donation amount is defaulting to 1 whole Bitcoin, which is a lot of meals! I understand changing it to 1.25 from the perspective of embedding that number in mind though... I just want to be clear that that's what you mean (even though it isn't $1.25).

EDIT: Just thought of something else. We could potentially redesign this app a bit so that when you type in an amount it immediately shows how many meals that will buy, based on the exchange rates. Wouldn't that be great? Created an issue for it: https://github.com/grabhive/hiveapp-seansoutpost/issues/3

My bad. I didn't realize that the 1,00 represented a full Bitcoin, hence suggesting $1.25 as the minimum donation.

Love your edit idea.

Tell us again how we know donations are actually being used for meals for needy?  Is there some sort of independent verification?

I'm going to let Jason King address your very important concern. I'll simply state that there's been more than enough proof on this here forum and national media to put any doubts to rest.

David,

This is actually the most important question that can be asked. The amount of waste, fraud, and abuse in the non-profit world is astronomical. And I think we all know how prevalent it is in the Bitcoin world. Do a venn diagram of the two worlds with the honest people in the middle and it's going to be a very small list, unfortunately.

Sean's Outpost, and myself try to be extremely open about what we do, how we do it, and what we utilize funds for. This has been covered a lot, so let me try to link you to some of the stuff...

This is some bitcoin magazine pieces on us...
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/6499/an-interview-with-jason-king-from-seans-outpost/

http://bitcoinmagazine.com/sandbox/seansoutpost.pdf


We were also followed around by wire magazine for this piece...


http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/09/bitcoin-homeless/


Personally I have spoken on the use of Bitcoin for Non-Profits in charities a lot. I was at Bitcoin2013 in San Jose in May where I gave the Presentation Bitcoin:The Future of Panhandling

I also participated in the round table discussion from the Crypto Currency Convention in Atlanta (where I met Bruno/Phin Gage ::photo above in the thread::) this past week and am the Featured Speaker at the Austin Bitcoin mini-conference next weekend.

This is me speaking on NPR about bitcoin...

http://www.marketplace.org/topics/tech/fluid-bitcoin-community-not-silent-one

This is me on Porc Therapy being interviewed by Stephanie Murphy of Let's Talk Bitcoin...

http://www.porctherapy.com/tag/jason-king/


This is me on Free Talk Live from Bitcoin2013

http://www.porctherapy.com/2013/05/22/free-talk-live-2013-05-19-from-bitcoin-2013/


But that's me. Maybe that's enough to prove that I am a homeless advocate, but what do we actually DO?

By the numbers, Sean's Outpost has fed over 17,000 meals to the homeless in Pensacola, FL since March 17, 2013. We do sack lunches 4 days a week and participate in 5 hot meals throughout the area each week. We also operate Satoshi Forest, a 9 acre homeless sanctuary here in Pensacola, FL that was purchased with Bitcoin and we have a mortgage that is paid directly in Bitcoin on the property.

Thanks for taking an interest.

Jason King

SeansOutpost.com

Thank you for helping those in need, I hope this question doesn't rub you the wrong way, it's a standard disclosure for non-profits.  What percentage of your donations go towards administrative costs?

It doesn't rub me the wrong way at all. I am always happy to talk about what it costs to do what we do.

The answer isn't simple, for a lot of reasons. The biggest is we have been in operation for a relatively short period of time, since March 17, 2013. So we don't have solid income datat. And the second is that we have DRAMATICALLY increased the scope of what we do over that time so we have much larger costs now than we did in March.

But if you average it out we run at a deficit of about $600 per month over direct operational costs. We maintain no office, or administrative staff, and have not billed any fundraising activities against donations. The simple fact is that right now my wife and I pay out of pocket every month to make ends meet. And we are very happy to do that.

There are reasons for that. One is we have never yet engaged in any formal fundraising. Not that we are against it, we have just been very fortunate at the level of contributions we have received from the crypto currency community. To reach a stasis and be truly sustainable we will have to move past that at some point. But we are in the fortunate position of being able to take our time and build fundraising mechanisms/campaigns that make sense for us and are not knee jerk reactions.

I would also like to point something else out, your initial question...

What percentage of your donations go towards administrative costs?

Is a very standard question. And I think it's the wrong question. Currently by that criteria we are a home run, 100%+ direct operational costs. But that isn't as important to me as the end results of what we are able to accomplish. I think charities and non-profits should be judged like startups, only on their results.

For instance which would you prefer...

Non-Profit A

7% Adinistrative costs, 93% Operational that effects an 11% decline in the rate of homelessness in its operational area.

or

Non-Profit B

43% Administrative costs, 57% Operational that effects a 90% decline in the rate of homelessness in the operational area




I would hope you would want Non-Profit B. I would want Non-Profit B.

I firmly believe that the metric to optimize for is end results.


This is the talk that really changed my thinking...

http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pallotta_the_way_we_think_about_charity_is_dead_wrong.html


I hope you can take the time to watch it. It is an amazing talk. Dan Pallotta is one of my heros.


I hope I answered your question well enough. I would be happy to talk more about this. And you can always email me at BeingHomelessisNotACrime@gmail.com

Thanks for the interest.

Albeit not formal fundraising efforts, this thread, of which I maintain, and Jason's noble efforts on Reddit are probably the two main funding sources, with the latter being the most successfully, but only because it had a head start.

That's an accurate assessment. An I am eternally grateful for your generosity. 

I didn't do for the pat on the back, but since you're there...  ;D

this is a lie...

phin does do it for a pat on the back....... not for the money. the money doesnt go to him it goes to charity :D
so if you do see phin or seans outpost anywhere.. just walk upto them and give them a hug. :D

(imagines random strangers now assaulting phin with loving hugs even during inappropriate times)

Not much but every little helps, eh?

I love that I can donate to a project half way around the world from me, and hopefully make a difference to peoples lives all from the comfort of my own home just with the click of a button. Amazing.

Thanks again, Tirapon. I'm going to consider your [7.4] an [8] since I've rounded down several previous donations and feel your current donation is as good, if not better, than some other in the near future.

Jason, assuming Tirapon is also from Greece, do you see what I'm seeing? Two people from a country with problems of its own, reaching out halfway around the world to help others. Perhaps, without disclosure particulars, you can somehow express this fact to those you've been helping.

I'm not from Greece, and I sort of lost track of the thread, but I'm gonna have a look back over to see what I missed  :)

The Blockchain.info link you provided had to be translated from Greece, hence me beliving that's where you're from.

Using the blockchain.info BTC price it's ~13 meals.

As I mentioned above it was 13.4 and now it's 13.64, but I rounded it up for him since he's donated before and the last small handful of donations that went over I rounded down.

Thank you so much!

I'm blind now. So many people will starve because I can't see any more.

She huddled in the bus shelter, chilled to the bone
So far away from home and completely alone
The people in their houses so warm and dry
That's when it all seemed so clear and she started to cry.

Life can throw some pretty low blows
On a wet face a tear never shows
Lonely for some attention and love
Sometimes asking why? From God up above.

Dwellings across the street warm and inviting,
The cold in her ungloved hands now biting
She guessed it must be dinner time
Through the double glazing it looked like a happy mime
Inside a famlly sitting down, Mum kissing children, Dad acting the clown

So desperate for a hot bath and a filling meal
Lost for a moment in a dream of how good that would feel
For her, damp feet had lost all their feeling
Thoughts of a warm bed for one night so appealing

Did the people in those homes appreciate what they've got
They don't understand her plight, so probably not.
A life on the street could throw you some knocks
Dark, sinister strangers, made your heart wear a lock.

No one knew how her sodden clothes felt
A day with overcast skies from where freezing rain pelts
She couldn't go back to her childhood home
That's where danger, abuse and violence still roam.

The homes opposite with curtains still open wide
Made her think of better days when she still had some pride
Now to beg for change was no longer a daily chore
The people out shopping had so much more

Some swore and said words she could not repeat
Others hurried by or crossed the street
The ones with eyes that looked straight through
Unknowingly inflicted a pain only she knew

Maybe they were embarassed with feelings unclear
But to become invisible was her greatest fear.
Tonight insulated with newspapers salvaged from a bin
She hopes for the better life tomorrow might bring

Now she bravely wipes away tears
Closes her eyes and silences fears
Somehow with returning inner strength
She softly cajoles herself at some length

This homeless person on this rainy night must cope
As for her there's not the luxury of giving up hope.

This is a good thing you're doing.

BUT, if you're collecting BTC donations then donating your fiat currency to charity, keeping the BTC, then writing off the charitable donations on your taxes, that is absolutely deplorable.

Actually, all the moneys collected, whether bitcoins or fiat, go toward where its intended. I'm sure Jason King of Sean's Outpost would do nothing to get them in hot water with the IRS.

If anybody does have concerns about this organization, please feel free to inquire, whereupon they'll be almost immediately addressed.

Just FYI, the donation address that is being advertised on this thread is the MAIN DONATION ADDRESS for Sean's Outpost, INC, a Florida Non-Profit Corporation.

Phin is really just encouraging people to donate directly to us, and donating quite a bit himself.

I think if you read through this thread that is very apparent. We are extremely grateful for all the fundraising efforts Phin has done on our behalf.

Hi

Sent some LTC:

 :)

I've been keeping track of my arrears, outline in the OP to donate $1.25 USD per day, acting a daily bump. Apologies for being behind.

Hey, Jason, what are the chances of having Satoshi Forest host it's first Thanksgiving meal THIS YEAR? If you're game to sacrifice your normal Thanksgiving ritual, I'll gladly drive down and camp out to oversee the event. All you may have to do is take care of the PR, photograph and film, spend only a couple hours there, and make sure there's plenty of mouths to feed.

To be clear, I'm talking about a real home-cooked meal, prepared right there in the woods. None of the that bulk-buying, ready-to-warm and serve stuff. How does cooking multiple birds Kalua (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalua)-style sound?

Lucky for you, you know TMIBTCITW, the only person capable of pulling this off.

What does that equate to in USD so that I can put the [?] in Post #2 of this thread?

About $22 - Litecoin has been on a roll lately, climbed to $4.20 from about $2  ;D

Great job guys.
I sent you a bit.
Keep up with that.  :)

I forgot to thank you, Tirpon, for you generous donation to Sean's Outpost. Although it comes to 17.6, I'm putting you down for [18] meals, opting to round up, for in the very near future I'll be adding more, rounding down my contribution, thus balancing out.


Hey, Zephir. Would you be so kind are to supply a Block Chain tx showing your donation unless, of course, you've opted to keep it private, of which is no problem. If that's the case, you can PM me, whereupon I'll cloak the source, yet still be able to add it to the running tally.

This sounds like a good idea. We already have 6 turkeys coming to us from a local farmer/bitcoin enthusiast. Let me run it by my wife, but I think it will be cool. We may have to do some food delivery that day though. Not sure we are going to get everyone to the forest and I want to make sure everyone has food. But I am down with setting up a camp kitchen to prep everything and camping out. I will talk to household 6 and get back to you in the morning.

Thanks, knight22. I'll update the tally and Post #2 to reflect your [12] meal contribution.

Zephir has PM'ed me, offering up proof via Block Chain tx, of which his donation reflects [80] meals. He stated that he has no problem with the info being made public, though I've opted to not link the tx URL, albeit it'll be easily found.

That said, thank you so kindly for your wonderful donation, Zephir. Expect to receive a big hug from Jason later today.

Thank you so much!

Litecoin love!!!

Ok, I got the go ahead from Leslie. Let's do a big ass Thanksgiving cook out in Satoshi Forest.

Cleaning out some dust, I'm adding [18] to the tally, and not because I'm TMIBTCITW either.  ::)

Post #2 of this thread is starting to look like a Christmas Tree:

Great idea. Wish we could join brother. Just sent ~.9 BTC to help with the expenses.

TMIBTCITW?

I look forward to seeing the tx so that I can add it to the tally, grabhive.


The Most Interesting Bitcoiner In The World. Self-anointed title I gave myself since Bitcoin Jesus was already taken. I thought Bitcoin Moses was also taken, but upon later searching I discovered that only I may have used that term. I'm don't know what Max Keiser is referred to, so perhaps somebody can enlighten me.

TMIBTCITW's latest claim to fame was to help orchestrate getting a Bitcoin flag to the South Pole via Faysal's solo trek, with him probably heading out this weekend.

Act Two is bringing the first Thanksgiving in Satoshi Forest to fruition via a kālua utilizing an imu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalua).

Is there an APP for that?

Are you nuts! Where the hell do you get these weird ideas from?  ::)

~TMIBTCITW

I don't know but for sure we will be including that in our Sean's Outpost app update soon.

Looks like it posted. 0.90073307 BTC.

Confirmed! Now the good news: You're the first sponsor: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=329396.0

Look forward to seeing a QR-Code linked to your main site, unless you have another site in mind to link to. We can easily generate a QR-Code if you're not up to the task.

I took the liberty and contributed your entire donation to the Thanksgiving dinner since that was your original intent, thus it will not raise the tally on this thread. I'm sure you'll let me know if I should recognize it differently, of which there would be no problem whatsoever.

With that, I now want to personally thank you for your very generous donation. Your donation now has the ball a rollin' in making the first every Thanksgiving in Satoshi Forest a success.

Sean's Outpost is operated by Jason King, and all I do for them is maintain this thread.

I made some updates to the Sean's Outpost app for Hive so that it includes live conversion from BTC to the # of people it feeds as-you-type. The calculation is based on Bitpay USD rate with assumption of $1.25 per meal. If an invalid number is detected, it simple reads "0". Also, default value has been updated to be 0.05 (or 0,05), which is more in line with future higher BTC prices.

These changes represent the current open issues on github (https://github.com/hivewallet/hiveapp-seansoutpost/issues).
Attached are a couple screenshots demo'ing the changes. Any feedback is appreciated.

I just threw in 12.3 mB to feed about 8 people. (it is a bit hard to say a specific amount since the exchange rate is jumping around so much)

It really takes so little BTC to feed someone right now!

Just sent $20 (0.03175BTC) your way. I've got a huge amount of respect for what you're doing and will assist wherever I can. Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot, CFT, for you kind donation. Jason will be around shortly to also thank your kindness. I'll be adding [16] to the tally momentarily.

I, too, have just added $10 USD to the cause, and will be adding [8] to the tally referencing this post in Post #2 of this thread: https://blockchain.info/tx/56e3225d46633d692f9c74a19e7bc0f296d39af0c84ea646411655edeb6701fa

Thanks man. I appreciate it so much.

Thanks for keeping this going. I am running around like a headless chicken.

Speaking if birds, are you bringing your own stones for the pit?

I've been meaning to talk to you about that! Do I also have to bring the banana tree leaves?

Have you hit 2000 meals yet? I'm off to bed, but will push you to 2000 tomorrow if the deed isn't done

Fuck it, I'll donate the 10

Believe it or not, we have banana trees growing naturally in Satoshi Forest. When you getting to town?

($7.30 at time of sending)

Thanks once again, Tirapon. I'll round it up to [6] and add it to the tally.

Ready to leave the hotel and get back on the road on my way to Satoshi Forest to hug homeless people. I bet you guys are all wishing you were me, but there can only be one TMIBTCITW.

If I have time and remember, tonight I'll be adding any arrears I owe to the pool. I think I'm a tad behind.

I'm going to take the time tomorrow morning to thank the above donors and do the math. Right now, all of a sudden, I can't keep my eyes open, and need to head back to Satoshi Forest and make a pallet on the warm ground, under the moonless frigid night with no pillow to spoon.

~TMIBTCITW

Thanks once again, xb0x, for your kindness. With the exception of Thanksgiving at Satoshi Forest, I do the easy part pertaining to Sean's Outpost--punching the keyboard--while Jason King of Sean's Outpost does all the heavy lifting. I'm not part of SO, just contributing in my weird way.


Looks like [16], mogrith. I'm running outta words to express my gratitude toward your's and other's generosities. But, I hope it's all good.

Adding the aboves to the tally in a sec after I warm up from bing out in the elements last night.

~TMIBTCITW

Hell no I don't do all the heavy lifting. That would be impossible. This would all NOT be possible without... Mike Kimberl, Adam Richard, Bob Wingartner and my wife Leslie.

And Phin is too damn modest

You lying piece of shit! I'm locking this thread!  ;D ;D ;D

I think the cold is getting to you Phin.

This is a great idea but since you are doing it digitally may I and others see your charity or non-profit registration number? Every non-profit and or charity is given one of these by their local government to help others verify their legitimacy.

http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail/EntityName/domnp-n13000006546-183111bb-f28f-4b6f-b76d-49c001cf4b09/seans%20outpost/Page1

We are registered, but plenty of "registered" companies do nothing. Verifying legitimacy is about showing results. Google Sean's Outpost of Satoshi Forest, the proof is out there. 

They better be legit, otherwise I drove over a thousands miles to dig an imu pit on somebody's property, with the understanding that it's Satoshi Forest.

Sean's Outpost is as legit as it comes, thus no need to worry.

That said, anybody have an extra $1.25 USD in BTC that they want to donate? Each ~$1.25 donated is able to feed one homeless person one nutritious meal.

Thanks to Tirapon's wonderful donation, I'm forced to do math first thing in the morning prior to sipping my first cup of coffee. [2048] + [35] = [2083] (somebody check my work)

~TMIBTCITW

I'm one of those funny people who likes round numbers. Whenever I get excess digits in my wallet balance which I don't want, I will tidy up by sending a donation this way  ;)

I used to do the same thing at the onset of Bitcoin 100. Once, I sent all the dust from InstaWallet when they announced their first shut down. But, Team Paymium picked them back up and was all well again until, that is, the hack(?), whereupon they were kind enough to not even leave me any dust of the 1,123+ BTC I've yet to be returned, but enjoying the roundaround, them BASTARDS!

Thanks for the bump, Tirapon.

~TMIBTCITW

Sent enough for 4 meals, would of sent more but that was the last of my on hand BTC, no transfer code as I sent off my phone but 0.0069 sent. only $5 but do what I can

I'll send more as I get more moved over. $1.25 to feed someone is nothing. Wish we could do that here!

Currently, still on my Road Trip, ready to check out of this Nebraskan hotel. I will update the tally tonight, along with adding a few from my end.

Thanks so kindly for the past few donations.

~TMIBTCITW

I want to start this in Tampa Bay Florida, we have tons of families in need, does anyone have any ideas as far as making a website to get donations and post ledgers and so forth. I'm a student who does not work and would be basically funded by donations. I'm thinking about trying a 6 months food drive, perhaps the site can go nationwide and actually help more than one area. If anyone is interested please let me know!

Get in touch with Jason King here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=102381

He'll direct you anyway possible.

I'm pretty sure the following is the tx: https://blockchain.info/tx/43e8ba52f90bfec6881c685067b63535aad0e533f094aaa300c3c220abf7d28d

Sadly, I will be adding only [20] to the tally, dancupid.  :'( ::) Seriously, thanks so kindly for your contribution as well. Let the community know about your experience with Kryptokit, bud.

~TMIBTCITW

Damn, Tirapon, I feel bad for not acknowledging your WONDERFUL transaction sooner. The only excuse I have, and it ain't a good one, is that I've been on this Road Trip and attended Inside Bitcoins in LV. Perhaps the pink tutu I was wearing to bring awareness to The Tutu Project was on too tight, cutting circulation to my brain.  ::)

I will be adding [80] to the tally thanks again to another fine donation sent from you. Jason King might also have been busy the last few days, so I'm blasting him a PM to get his hairy ass over here and thank you, among others, for all the recent donations sent. If I were a God fearing man, I would say "God Bless!"

This is great! I'm glad to see there is good being done with this virtual currency.

If you want to start a Sean's Outpost chapter in Tampa, I would be down. We've got some support in Tampa already and could get you up and running pretty quickly. Email me at seansoutpost@gmail.com

Thanks so much!

Yeah, I agree. Let's open source charity.

You are awesome. Thank you so much.

Holy crap. Thank you so much man. That is extremely generous.

That's what I said when I first saw it.

~TMIBTCITW

Not sure what you're looking for, but putting two and two together, I think you're looking for a donation to Sean's Outpost via Nakowa. If that's the case, that's the first I heard of such existing. I guess I could Google it.

Starting a non profit called CyberDonate, I want to help people learn about crypto-currency bu through means of giving, I want to have a homeostatic relationship with both giving and receiving, especially during the holiday season when many families are watching others celebrate and they have nothing! Those are the people we need to look out for the most inside or outside of the BTC network! I will be starting a the website hopefully later this week once my attorney lets me know what I must do to legally provide funds for local homeless as a non-profit organization. ( Please message me if you would like to be apart of this soon to be "guild" of crypto-currency enthusiasts helping others while on their journey this digital realm has paved for us!)

God Bless!!

I haven't seen this thread until now, but I'm so excited I was able to contribute .1 BTC to this effort. I don't usually make my donations public, but skimming through this thread really brightened my day. I first heard about it on Twitter; BTCquick tweeted, and I retweeted. My twitter account exists only to check on the status of my coins, but I certainly hope my retweet helped in spreading the word. I'll update this post with the transaction ID from one of my archived addresses; would hate to be accused of lying.

This is a much better side of the bitcoin community.

Thank you SeansOutpost for setting a good example :)

I can't seem to find this transaction so that I can add it to the tally.

Wow I've been  looking for a good place to donate some BTC to.  Where do the meals get passed out?  and we have seen enough (press, photos, etc.) from OP to know this is legit?  thanks and good luck going forward, I'll donate if it seems legit, I have to finish reading thread and hopefully get some responses.

Hey there! Its been awhile but I got the money together to file for the non-profit, plus the families lawyer to assist in starting a non profit based out of Tampa Bay Florida, I want to work in collaboration with the current charity, since that is what inspired me to help those around me. Currently I'm a tax law student that cannot work due to litigation and medical reasons as a result of serious injuries sustained in 2010! Worst case scenario is that this will be the best resume builder, and something that show that BTC is VERY useful for ALL off mankind! I'm a dual citizen out of Europe (part of the EU Union etc) and have family residing there as well. I would like to make my charity "Cyber Donate" the first to go beyond being a charity that feeds local homeless. Expand to Latin America and Europe as well. This is definitely something I plan to go through with in order to not only help, but to bring even more and more positive attention to how BTC and other crypto-currencies are actually useful to those whom have absolutely no electronics, food, proper shelter and even sanitation! I have two college friends I convinced to work with me for a few hours each week, Luckily one speaks fluent in Spanish and English, I speak fluent in Polish and English which should help expand the area of effect for this charity and whom it can and will assist! Since the hardest part was finding someone willing to sacrifice sometime at the expense of helping the world and humanity become better off, also this project will be a great resume builder! Hopefully this week everything should be set in stone so I can contact my marketing friend and begin advertising how BTC helps everyone, not only those with electronics! I would like to personally thank "Seans Outpost" for giving me the inspiration and showing me it can be done. I recently quit playing video games and will devote all time outside of classes to this charity, if anyone is sincerely interested in helping please feel free to contact me! I want to provide each homeless with a nutritional guidebook to staying healthy and many other continuous ideas!

God bless!

Great, Trance!

FYI: Many of the homeless seldom read, not that they can't, and many of them start their day snipe hunting, and I don't mean the bird, ergo the more you learn about their predicament, whether by choice or economics or unsaid other, the better you'll position yourself to help them, along with the ability to amass sponsors and donations for your venerable cause.

Also, another [20] meals will be added due to a partial refund I submitted for a leather wallet order, of which the purchaser desired that I donate to either Sean's Outpost or Bitcoin 100, opting this cause as the better option for various reasons.

I'm withholding his name for privacy purposes, but he's more than welcome to come here and claim his donation, of which I will then verify.
