Title: Quickest Way to Set Up Bitcoin Donations for Indie Gamers for Good Marathon? Post by: Overgent on October 20, 2013, 08:30:56 PM So, a group of dorks called the Cloudboat Armada have decided to play a gaming marathon to raise funds for the Child's Play charity.
We call it - THE INDIE GAMERS FOR GOOD MARATHON (<<< here be live stream and list of games) (http://www.iggmarathon.com/) They will play games suggested by donors to the charity for up to one hundred & twenty-eight hours. Where possible, they will interview the creators of the games as they are played. The more donations, the more games, the more hours, on an exponential curve. It is actually much more ridiculous than it sounds, and the past eighty hours have been spent playing everything from a European Trucking Sim to Achron and Fez. Crypt of the NecroDancer coming up. With strobe lights. By flicking the light-switch. Anyway, there have been enough donations for 82 hours, so far, but only 8 hours left. I was wondering, what would be the quickest way to set the marathon up for bitcoin donations? I have never done this before, but it seems like the idea is sort of appropriate to the idea of independent and open-source game production. : Overgent Title: Re: Quickest Way to Set Up Bitcoin Donations for Indie Gamers for Good Marathon? Post by: monbux on October 20, 2013, 10:01:45 PM I would suggest you use API with inputs, or coinbase. I would guess there are a lot of US sponsors/donors, so using coinbase has it's positives.
Get a coder so you guys can count, live on your website, how much was donated in bitcoin! :) https://inputs.io/api https://coinbase.com/docs/api/overview Title: Re: Quickest Way to Set Up Bitcoin Donations for Indie Gamers for Good Marathon? Post by: Birdy on October 20, 2013, 10:09:34 PM I guess the quickest way would be to convince someone from Cloadboat to make a wallet at blockchain.info (but make sure there is at least one donation then).
Would probably a hassle to deal with exchanging it to fiat for the charity then though, so probably not worth the time unless we have someone here who wants to donate a lot. (the event ends soon) Title: Re: Quickest Way to Set Up Bitcoin Donations for Indie Gamers for Good Marathon?

All you have to do is set the name and a few other parameters and you are done! Title: Re: Quickest Way to Set Up Bitcoin Donations for Indie Gamers for Good Marathon?
