Title: Help plant a "flag of Bitcoin" at the South Pole! Post by: mpfrank on November 03, 2013, 12:22:45 AM This guy is raising sponsorship money for his South Pole trip... If he gets 15 BTC he will plant a Bitcoin flag at the South Pole! As of this writing, he is at 13.36 BTC, and counting... Let's help him reach his goal! It seems like a cool publicity stunt. He is also going to buy a pizza from the South Pole using BTC as a demonstration.

What we do not have is irrefutable proof that the donation address is valid (but no specific reason to think it's a scam either). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=323580.0 Title: Re: Help plant a "flag of Bitcoin" at the South Pole!

Unlike Antarctica, this (randomly picked up) place would love a little bit more of attention, with any flags http://www.wateraid.org/mg Anyway, good luck and have a safe trip. |
