I wish the best for you dog. And hope this is not a scam. PM sent.

You just have to learn the hard way I guess.

now i'm concerned lol

Damn, son. Good luck to your dog.

.025BTC sent to otrkid.  Repayment of .3BTC can be sent to my wallet January 14th.  Wallet address: 16LQDrFrbsKTNpB3N6Q9xG23ZRY3dCMezk

Best of luck man.

kk.
Good luck for the dog.

Gonna keep an eye on this one. I hate when dogs get all messed up for any reason, so I was tempted to fill this myself (for one or two of those pennies as collateral). I'm interested to see how this turns out.

still interested in another .025 loan or you all set?  you hit the spot man, love dogs.

Such a beautiful dog, I was about to send those BTC. :-\

Repayment can be sent to:  16LQDrFrbsKTNpB3N6Q9xG23ZRY3dCMezk
Don't have to worry about the interest, .025BTC is good.

I'm sure.   :)

what is your total requirement for your dog and what is your plan for getting just this or any other thing also working

Greyhounds are wonderful dogs.

Let me know if you need any additional loans.

make a donation for a dog ..
and I that I have a pituitary tumor anything??   ??? ???

Willing to specify how much you are looking for and for what time period this time around?   :)

I will donate 1000$ to help save this dog, under these conditions.

1- we get a pic of your dog with your screen name.

2- I pay the vet directly

3- all money needed for the surgery is acquired before hand. I don't want to donate $1000 and the vet says its gonna be 3k more.


get a tally of the total for all surgery's and meds and treatment, and then if the $1000 is enough then we can go ahead and start the process, if its not then you will have to drive up some other donations from the forum.

I have a feeling there are plenty of newly rich dog lovers on here and if we pull together we can do right for this dog.

Please get the pic posted, also. please find the link for your vet on yellowpages or some site similar and please post that info here.

Once you drum up the other 300 or so I will contact your vet to make the payment, I assume I'll need your name and the dogs name as well.

As for the donation, It my pleasure!  :)

All looks good from here, I'll be on and off line throughout the day and hope to be able to make this happen tomorrow, I await the bill.

Also, where are the dog lovers here... I except more from this community, common guys, this dog needs this.

You are going to wait until you receive the bill before you donate?

Why not contact the vet directly, give your credit card, and state you authorize up to a $1,000 payment towards the treatment of the dog?  That way you can't be scammed.

Aww shucks man, Do you still need a btc donation? I'm more than happy to help your pooch out ;)

Yes Vod, that is my plan, I`m waiting on the bill and then I will make it happen, as you suggested and as I mentioned a few posts earlier.Thanks for looking out though! much respect!

I may be looking to pay in bitcoin though, if I can find someone on here whos willing to take my btc and pay by CC than that would put a smile on my face even more as I like to use my BTC to help others more then I like to support Visa.

some people may be wondering why I'm doing this.. I mean its a really new account this guy has and a sob story which normally screams SCAMMER, but I got a good feeling about this one when I saw the first pics posted. I`m sure this is all un the up and up but if by chance its a scam, its a gotta be a good one to get by me.

I have had dogs my whole life, I always took in strays and shelter dogs, I once got a dog who was sick from the get-go. I spent over 10K trying to make his life better then it was which was filled with pain. In the end we lost the battle. He was born sick with major hip problems and a killer case of demodex.

Hopefully some early adopters such as myself will come through and anti up the remaining few hundred needed, either way the vet is getting a grand tomorrow.

I'll throw down a couple hundred bucks. Bitcoin only though I'm afraid, not an awful lot of access to my fiat at the moment. Am currently sitting on the rocks on Koh Samui, Chilling to some live reggae music, surrounded by all sort of pooches and puppies. It's truly paradise here!

OP: Shall I send you a donation to the address you posted or are you/we going down different route for payment now?

That's the spirit. +1 my friend!

I'll throw 0.5 into this pot. Bobsurplus, once you have a trusted member who is making the CC payment I'll transfer directly to them, would that be simplest?

I propose any surplus funds after the op are donated to an animal charity of the OPs choice.

I'm cool with that, I believe I found a member to do the payment with CC, I'm just finalizing now.

Have they sent you the estimate yet?

Ok cool, I'll be waiting, you should contact the other people in this thread who mentioned that they would donate , and we should start pooling the btc together.

I have chose forum hero member:  Maidak to make the CC payment as he volunteered to make this happen and is an animal lover as well.

I keep checking in :)

Maidak, can you post an address for funds to be sent to?

I just asked him to come to the thread and post, then we'll get the deposit address.

I'm still waiting on the estimate so we know what were dealing with here.. As soon as it comes through, I will call the vet, verify that all is up and up and then send my coin to Maidak to get this ball rolling.

Thanks to everyone who offered to help out.

here is the address you can deposit to.

Edit - Requested a clean address so here it is 1XkuPpPXaM5a3EQS36BEQ6xHc4kDMXSyJ

Can you use a new address, so its clean and easy to understand.. this address already has a few transactions.. if possible.

I know how it is, Ive been there many times before.... grab a beer, smoke a joint, go for a walk, drive fast, just something to keep the nerves and anxiousness away.

Just called your vet, they did indeed confirm that someone with your name has a dog with a lump in throat and that there working on the estimate now.


Keep me posted on when you get it and we'll get little richy back to good in no time.

Hope he gets well soon :)

I just sent 1.1btc to the address provided, https://blockchain.info/address/1XkuPpPXaM5a3EQS36BEQ6xHc4kDMXSyJ

I'll contact maidak now to get the payment made.

Na bro, I think were good, I called the vet, all the numbers check out, and this is as legit as they come in my eyes, all you gotta do now is get richy in there and start the road to recovery.

I have contacted maidak and as soon as he pays we'll let you know and you can call to book the surgery.

Actually, what would be nice is if you can post updates and maybe photos of richy during is recovery and even after, I feel like hes part of my family now. :)

Good Luck Shane!

Just sent 0.25 to the address given. Please let me know that the funds will be used accordingly.

https://blockchain.info/tx/65341ff031ad0b06fe9d2f8a19a1198d73d314eac77f4bd44669a7ae081aaae9

And OP, please let us know when your lovely doggie is all fit and well again!

All the best.

Hey everyone I will be calling the vet in the morning at around 10am EST to get this paid for. Can you send me a PM or post the phone # so I can give them a call.

Seen the number on the invoice I'll be calling them here in a few about 2-3 hours.

All paid estimated came out to be $1650.00 total bitcoins sent was 1.85 BTC between everyone and this was sold just now on coinbase.com
 
Subtotal   $1,462.48
Coinbase fee   $-14.62
Bank fee   $-0.15
Total Credit

$1,447.71

Keep the donations coming ! address is posted

I'm glad that this worked well, I'd like to thank the other donators and Maidak for making this possible, it just goes to show you how there are still some god people out here.

Cant wait for the updates!

I paid $1650 via my CC the total BTC amount that was donated equaled out to $1447.71 after coinbase fees so if anyone would like to continue to donate please use the address provided 1XkuPpPXaM5a3EQS36BEQ6xHc4kDMXSyJ if any funds are left over after the $1650.00 I'll go ahead and donate that to a non profit animal rescue organization of your guys choice.

Do I understand this correctly, you spent 200$ of your own money to cover this?

Thats correct, I couldn't exactly let tell the lady only $1447.71 was donated so I covered costs and hopefully we'll see the rest of it come in.

Sent you a PM, lets see how this goes!

otrkid70.

Maybe you should use this opportunity and build upon it. I'd be down for running a non profit through this site that helps out animal rescues all over the world, drumming up donations in BTC.


Think about it, maybe we can get your vet to be the first to sign up, we can get them linked with bitpay, and maybe they can even open up a "free check up day" for those who cant afford the vet due to the btc we get donated, just rambling but I think its worth discussing.

That would be something i'd also like to take part in, and dont mind handling the paper work. I have a CPA who currently handles all my business stuff and i'm sure having her do this to wouldn't be an issue at all.

I think there are a bunch of ways to do this, firstly though, I think we may need to take the vet out of the equation. Lets be honest here, the vet is in it for the money, so they'll keep finding patients for us.

I think we may need to go the route of making a site where people can post about their financial situation and their pet, from there we can decide whos in need more, and then we can arrange to get their vet paid just like we did with you.

Someone would need to register a non profit if we were to do this on the up and up, for the beginning... we can go without the actual non profit, but once it grows, and I think it would then we would have to take the steps needed to be able to help more people and in a faster turnaround.

Which would include the non profit, the bank accounts, an accountant, employees, website builders, rescue agency's ect... the first step is a site where people can post about their hardship regarding the beloved pet in question. (we can use this one to start)

We would need to get on reddit, and an other social network that may help drum up donations, we also would need an escrow agent on here, Maidak, you can do this I believe.

What's our thoughts?

EDIT: I also think we should find a writer, its clear as day to me that otrkid70 and myself are nto the writing type..

Want to start building a site ? I know you have experience.

thumbs up guys...  :)

This is a heart-warming thread.  Glad to see that it all worked out. 

Nice, its good to know that he'll be fixed soon, it must suck for him having that big ball in his throat, I can imagine hes not getting to much love from the bitches these days, don't worry Richy, that will all change soon.

 ;D

So how are we going to proceed to make this thread turn into a good opportunity for many loving pet owners who find themselves in the situation that you found yourself in.

Peter, Micheal, you guys down for the cause?

So great!  We adopted an Italian Greyhound mix from a shelter last year.  They did not tell us that the mix was a pit-bull though. ;)  My husband likes to joke that our dog can run 50 miles an hour before he bites your leg. He is pretty sweet, very warm at night, and a great guard dog.  A little too much so because he really does not like my father-in-law too much.  Of course my father-in-law is the epitome of a "grumpy old man" so I guess I can't blame him too much. 

Hopefully Richy's surgery goes well.  Vet bills are so expensive and I am glad there were some kind hearts on here willing to help out!

Glad to hear everything has gone through okay. Props to anyone else that donated. Amazing work guys!

sorry I'm putting my charitable time elsewhere, but this thread made me smile :)

Thats cool man, keep the love flowing, as long as it helps someone.

Any news from Richy the vet?

Would also love to hear about it.

its ok, were patient!

This is great news, and don't worry about the extra skin around the neck.. it will give him character.

Please post pics at some point as im sure were all wondering how he looks now!  

Very glad to hear Richy's ok!

Oh wow, he looks soooooooo much better. I'm truly touched and proud of being able to be a part of this.

Awesome news, thanks for posting the updates :)

I think the right thing to do here is get maidak back his $200 first... I think whatever is left should be donated to the other dog.. it wont be much but its a start.

i will donate 50 dollars to pay back maidak

Thanks nice of you... every penny donated is an extra penny for the other dog.

It is truly amazing... Its clear this forum has its fair share of really good people!

Sent you about 50 bucks:

No repayment necessary. you could post a thank you with a link to this post on my trust profile if you want, but if not no worries. have a good day and best of luck for you and your dog.

you're welcome, and again best of luck

Just how much did dank donate?  He is going to take credit.   :-\

Dank donated nothing here!

An old school scammer.

i wish all the best for your dog bro, just keep eye in your wallet you might get something in there soon.

Hey I love animals ill send you something!!!!


to help with the repay back. 

I have lump also but I wont know till the infection goes away, god bless those beautiful dogs

Just saw this thread.  Truly awesome, and just shows that there are still (though they are in the minority) very good people in the virtual currency world.  Glad to see your dog is okay!

Hey bud, hows Richy HODLing up??

Did they give him a cone to wear? or would that have just irritated the wound?

I'm happy though to see hes feeling better, do you think he'll be more active once the recovery ends, I can only assume he was not so active with the lump in his throat.

I just Need Loan 3 XPM no promise repay but i will remember your account. (Oneday i will pay more then your loan to me but no promise). plss send me 3 XPM (AbHP5SNhDrDfhqMAJ7qaFwisoXWTZMVeSU) thanks !!! :-*

Well thank god that's all in the past now, the lump is gone and hopefully no more hacking.

NO!

I wasn't always good. when i signed up here i pulled a bunch of petty scams but felt guilty and admitted it after some months. i paid everyone back eventually but alot of people still remember me as a scammer

The way you said this made me think of the diablo 2 scammers lol .

you are here for last 3 weeks for very small loan but nothing happen just go to this link and you can take something without any problem

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=425135.0

Clearly read the entire thread, haven't you? :P

oh sorry accept my appologizes for this and thanks for information  :(

this guy writes like the one scammer Kyle91 and Kylie.v, AKA Dragonkid

Who?

Weird!

Hey just came across this thread, damn so touchy  :'(

I'm very surprised to see guys donating here on btctalk.  :) Never seen a donation thread here in 3 months of my time here.

Thanks to all the donators !!

OP can we have some recent pics please  :D

Yeah, this thread should be stickeyed to show people that there are still good people on this forum.

+1 to some new pics too.

Haha, Bubble boy, reminds me of Seinfeld... "The Moores" "No I'm sorry its the Moops"

I'm happy to see Richy is doing good, are the stitches still bothering him?

Time to set up the motion detecting camera.

Can you PM me the vet's phone number they haven't called back yet about the remainder I just wanna let them know to keep it and use it for some other animal in need.

man, you guys are awesome, Thanks again Maidak.

Otrkid, do you know how much extra there was, who its going to help, ect?

Cool, Please keep me posted as I'd like to know how this unfolds.

Looks good.  I imagine you plan to get a website setup to allow for easier donations and information?  Have anyone in mind for that?   :)

If you don't have a strict deadline, I could work on the site as well as hosting at zero charge [guess you could consider it a donation of services].     :)

Wanna buy some deer jerky?  ;D

Why the hateful words? :(

Because I think you are pretty.

Do you like me?  Check one.

[  ]  YES  :)
[  ]  NO   :(

PS.  Billy told me you had lice, but I don't believe him.  Your hair is too purdy.

How some people get their kicks I reckon.  Best to allow naysayers be and continue in the direction of your goals.   ;)

This is awesome!

Let me know if you want some help setting up a website or anything, i'm no developer, but i could set you up a simple wordpress blog or something very easily.

awsome topic!
big grats to Bob for doing the first step on that donation,
good job on BFA

otrkid i have a Richie also & 7 others names (dogs :) ) ill post pics :)

most ppl who have a dog in their family are the ppl with biggest & warmest heart!

No need for that quote there ort! trolls will be trolls I can't wait to see this take off I'll have free time this weekend and can help discuss a web design. :)

I've PMed you the nameservers to use.

Depending on your registrar (from whom you bought the domain), there should be a "Manage Domains" link somewhere and/or a "DNS Manager".  Go there, and change the nameservers to the ones in the PM (use all 5 if they give you enough fields)

Hey I love animals ill send you something!!!!

I love it!  :)

We'll get the word out, I also have a list of people I can contact who are heavy hitters in the btc world and I'm sure they will throw some coin this way.

I'll be back on tonight after 9est and we'll chat then.

Hi there...just checking in to see if you had any sample sites you like for design purposes.

Thanks!

Opinions on the design of http://www.aspca.org/ ?  It could be nice if simplified and using the gold color scheme of Bitcoin. 
Also I wanted to suggest offering donations in the way of alternate currencies (namely NobleCoin) once you're up and running, I'd gladly donate via NobleCoin.
The currency: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=402667.0

Just an update: Rich died on July 21st 2023. I thank Bobsurplus Maidak and others who helped give me more years with Richy.
