Bitcoin Forum

Seems as though everyone is asking for donations in the form of bitcoin, but how many people actually donate with Bitcoins???

Have you ever donatedwith bitcoin?  What cause did you donate to?


PLEASE COMMENT AND MAKE A SELECTION FROM THE POLL ABOVE

No and never will unless it was for a verifiable good cause  :)

I haven't yet but that's cause I'm still in the poor miner category  :(

I hear theres better luck these days mining Litecoin

I'm in the group that asks for donations.. Lol

Donated, but to peoples, that really need some money

yeah, but I donated only 0.001BTC :D

Yes, I like to express my gratitude for things I enjoy with a donation. Usually not huge amounts, but just as a token of appreciation.

I plan to develop "social financial help" platform with bitcoin support in near future

There is a saying "You should give something back to the community from which you are taking" Truely, i havn't finished taking :p

many

I have donated to several causes and I supply funds to some loans on BTCjam.com that will probably never come back to me.  I do this because I believe I should give 10% of my earnings to good causes I believe in and I want to see bitcoin grow in use around the world.  It is in my favor and benefit to give some away!

Just curious. Have you posted any descriptions anywhere?  Are there already BTC based crowdsourcing platforms out there?

interesting poll results thus far.  I would have expected many people had not yet donated bitcoin.  Perhaps the number of people who have donated or plan to donate would be much higher if the donation could be used as a tax deduction??? :P

haha... i would consider giving back if there was anything to give.  I missed the window for mining and since have been trying to make my bitcoin charts site better noted by the bitcoin community.  Slow proces but is growing, no revenue from site yet.

Snowden - But I am not a crypto using libertarian stereotype, honest!

I just thought it was a good cause :)

yes, donating is a good cause if the cause is just.  What cause have you all donated to?

Not now because I lost all my BTC. But when I get it back, for sure :)

To which cause have you donated to?

Donated with both bitcoin and fiat and will continue to do so.  The world is a much better place if everyone with some extra change gave a little.

I donated 5$ worth of BTC to that paywall experiment thing.

I plan on building mining rigs to support college students and feed the homeless one day.

I just donated 25 cents to Chicago Sun Times, cause they are testing out micro payments. And I like to read the news. Even if most of it is crap!

For those who didn't donate yet: 1PDaS3zn6gjyyUCskZUhcKDWtk9g2WUER8

I'll gladly help you out.  :P

OP: yes, not much though

Mid-adopter and probably (well, certainly) relatively large holder here.  Almost the only thing I use Bitcoin for is for making donations(*) and I've donated many to a lot of different causes.  Being able to help Wikileaks (and therefor my country) was, in fact, a driving force in my getting into it in the first place.

Bitcoin is vastly inferior to mainstream systems for buying trinkets of the kind I like and cash/paypal/visa/etc works fine for me. 

Bitcoin is tedious to secure, and I often find myself worrying about exploits in the existing codebases (i.e., android+apps, java+multibit, etc) and worrying about on-line spending money wallets which are at least as often as not operated by incompetent boobs or cooks (or both.)  In short, Bitcoin is simply not competitive as a solution for buying trinkets efficiently en-mass and I doubt that it ever will be.  Furthermore,  I believe that trying to make it so will destroy what's left of some of the original positive attributes.

* In the interest of full disclosure, I've recently I've started to cash some BTC out for fiat so I'm using Bitcoin to flat out capitalize on speculation in addition to using it for donations.

I donated 10 bitcoins to Wikileaks when the U.S. government pressured the credit card companies and Paypal into blacklisting them.

I'm assuming Humble Bundle counts to an extent? Paid for god knows how many already.

I donated to the Hemlis project led by the founders of TPB.  ;D
Here's a link to their project: https://heml.is (https://heml.is)

yes i have, but small one to seans outpost
cant afford to give a big one

I'm filing for my first BTCitcoin charity to raise awareness of BTCitcoin and also raising awareness how if the world works together we can provide massive immense relief towards the homeless people and also animals in need (hope to accept Dogecoin and devote those donations towards animal charity work) If you have any ideas as to how to raise awareness with a charity please feel free to let me know! I plan to succeed as well as  Sean's Outpost Where my original idea and ambition to become a BTCitcoin entrepreneur / donator came from!! Always paying homage towards the outreach!

I have started to make donations with bitcoin recently, though only a small amount :)


lol.  ;)

Yes, I made one 2 days ago and it felt great :)

How were you bitscammed?

These are my thoughts exactly.  If i had any to donate i would.  The only donations i have been associated with was funds earned from my 50/50 bitcoin raffle.  Which was not my money/bitcoin but is on my website and handled by me :)

Fantastic to see people are giving back to the bitcoin community.

I donated to the worldcoinwell with worldcoins, but it's still in the cryptocurrency world so....almost.

Are you more likely to donate now that prices have fallen

I haven't made a donation yet, but might do so on reddit in the future.
