Renaming the thread may be in order, perhaps using the word resolved for starters.

Glad it all worked all, bud.

The same mentality that thinks the above, can be shown that with Bitcoin more income can be hidden, thus getting a greater return.

These are probably the same folks who declare fewer exemptions at their place of employment so that they can get a larger return at the end of the year, not realizing that they're giving the government an interest free loan.

What do they do when they finally get the check come February? They head on over to Walmart to purchase a giant flat screen TV to replace the big one purchased last year because now it's too small. They're just smart enough to not toss it, but migrate it to another room less used in their suburban home.

Taxin' my memory, I believe it was the ASIC press release.

With that, I'm going to bed.

Nite, Vite!

Why don't you do something constructive like find on the internet how Rai stones there in Yap. I'll start the count for you: 1,... 

Fair enough! (and feel free to call me Bruno if you desire) Given the above, I'm going to take the liberty to fine-tune the original proposal, with hopefully at the end of the day not take much, if any, moneys--as first outlined--off the table, and maybe even securing more funds along the way.

With that, you're pretty much assured the $1,000 USD from Bitcoin 100 to further along this endeavor.

What I believe is paramount is that the ten NPO/NGOs we obtain receive as much prominent billing as possible, i.e., credits in the documentary (hopefully not in fast scroll mode), and links on your website, chiefly come to mind. Shouldn't need more than that. Please don't concern yourself with billing Bitcoin 100 unless we deserve credit(s).

Therefore, the adjusted proposal (outlined shortly) is predicated on a commitment from you in regard to the above--prominently showcasing ten new non-profits (not any previously obtained prior to this tentative agreement).


Possibly. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64504.0 kenija2012 was one of the first NPOs we funded, and I'm sure those doctors may have live footage, taken while in Kenya.

Another example will come to mind later, or perhaps a new entity will manifest itself, rising up for the occasion. Of course, the better the human interest storyline, the better the final cut would be.


Probably not. Not because of who or what they are, but because of their reach, with most functioning at the local level. An umbrella organization of said group would suffice, provided they are not already accepting bitcoins as a donation option.

They do seem like a fine group of folks, where a member or two may be closely connected to some charitable organization which may qualify though. But we won't know unless they're asked. Hint! Hint!


Or at the very least, they reluctantly accept the offer (filmed), with a follow up video prior to the footage hitting the edit floor.

Once one of these ten accept, we'll do our best to work with them as they start requesting donations via Bitcoin. This will be more true if one particular entity is pose to be filmed more so than some other(s). Once we're made aware of such a fact, it'll be easier to shoot more coins their way, thus making the outcome more favorable, albeit a tad contrived.

Now that I've address your response, allow me to outline the next step(s) below the fold.

The New Proposal

Don't worry, for the changes are not too draconian. In fact, some may prove better, outweighing any negativity.

The first major change is that I will take lead control of the fund raising drive as it relates to Bitcoin 100's efforts in the amassing of the majority of the funding for the documentary. I'll be starting a separate thread for the occasion. In fact, there'll be two threads, for it'll be a two-step process. You'll understand why in a bit (almost penned sec).

Another major change will be in the time frame to accomplish this task. Originally, I penned a 60-90 day max window, with your team footing the majority of the labor. Seeing from your post, and should of considered it myself earlier, you'll probably be too pressed for time to take on added burdens.

The new time frame will be only 30 days to accomplish said task, provided the wafers leave the FAB as scheduled.   (couldn't resist injecting humor) This quickening should come as a blessing for a myriad of reasons.

In essence, I'll be setting up a 30 day donation drive/challenge starting on the first day of April (probably sooner), ending on the 30th (locked deadline). This is what thread two (mentioned above) will consist of. Thread one (started immediately) will consist of garnering support from various viable entities, willing to donate $500(?) each at the end of April if Bitcoin 100 pulls through. (getting tired, but hope the gist came through--elaboration will be provided in said thread, and touch upon further below)

Quick aside: Upon a second/third read of the quoted post, I wanted to let you know that in no way are we (am I) trying to dictate to you how, or what, to weave into the documentary as it pertains to NGOs, et al. But I will start a third thread in the Projects sections for you to peruse, asking of the members what they would like to see in the doc. Therefore, all the suggestions would be in a single thread, whereupon you'll maintain the official thread (perhaps this is it), and I'll man the donation arm, again as it only relates to Bitcoin 100 and none of the other funding. No other addresses will be set up to collect donations by me in The Bitcoin Documentary's name. Only the address you've provided will be utilized.

One last major change, and that's the maximum dollar amount aspect. I've previous stated that all the funds currently residing in our coffers would go toward the making of the documentary provided a certain criteria's met, $10K of which going to actual charities. One aspect of the criteria was having your team doing most of the legwork. Since that is no longer the case due to it being impractical, I have bestowed that burden unto myself. That act alone causes us to no longer guarantee the entire pool.

The only way you would receive less than $10K from Bitcoin 100 is if the exchange rate spirals downward before the end of April, and the grand total did not come to $20K USD. If that'll be the case, all of the funds would still be allocated for this cause with the exception of a 1 BTC.

The maximum now that we'll transfer out for this project will only be $20,000, whereas before it had a potential of being $20K+. It equates to $10,000 USD max that you'll end up with, broken down the same way as before: namely, for each charity embedding a Bitcoin donation button onto their respective website, they'll receive $1,000, and you'll immediately receive $500; if at the end of April all ten are obtained, another $4,000 heads your way ($1K (initial) + $5K ($500 X 10) + $4K (remainder) = $10K (total); plus the dollar sum from all those betting, so to speak, that we can't do it (e.g., $500 per entity times 10 minimum equals $5K); and hopefully another $1K from The Bitcoin Foundation pledging (again, betting, so to speak) that we can't get 10 charities before the end of April AND get at least ten entities to pledge AND get at least $5K pledged from as many entities needed to surpass said figure.

Basically, that's what thread one will consist of--garnering support prior to augment the main drive (thread two). If I did the math correctly, with all the goals met there'll be no less than $16,000 I hope to raise for this crazy documentary idea, produced by four (five) wild and crazy guys with accents.

Again, just assure me that you'll show prominence to ten charities if we secure them. If so, I'm moving forward with what's outlined above, unless you believe something needs addressing.

Happy hunting!

I don't fear for my safety. My doors are kept unlocked, and most everybody in Sandwich, IL, knows where I leave. If not, simply walk two blocks east of the fairgrounds and look for the totem pole with the image of Honest Abe on it, located on the south side of the street.

Seriously, upon penning the above, I just realized that I do have Josh's Honest Abe in my yard. My life get's weirder by the minute.

Godaddy for domain name: $12.99 USD, without a coupon code.
Hostgator: $.01 for the first month's service.
Wordpress as your CMS: Free

Total ~0.25 BTC

Sell one item within the first month, and you're able to pay for the second month's service at Hostgator. If you don't, pay the $8.95 USD out of your pocket. If no sales during the second month, close it down.

The other option is using the free wordpress.com as your CMS, with or without the blog aspect turned on, to garner a couple sales, coupled with proving that what you have to offer is viable.

How's that for magic?

Just paid jsmithers, now all are paid, so please remove all scammer tags--or not!

Thanks for playing, all.

Now, I'm being attacked from all fronts by four-letter user names.

Bingo! We are a group of 4-9 Lithuanians, commonly known as Team Lugan in our motherland.

Here's our mascot, Vitus:

Perhaps, the following is a clue, but I can't read Italian:

Happy, happy, joy, joy! I finally have a stalker. 

Google is starting to scare me. I just Googled an image for the term "graphic-influenced" to fuck with you, and Google thought it funny to fuck with me, for the following is the first image it presented.



But it's worse than that, for if you hover over the image, look at the name of the site of which it links to.

Another thing Google does is present me more images of goats when I search images for various terms, more so than a year ago. For instance, if I search for cowboys, I start getting goats on the second row. Makes me wonder what results Bruce gets when (not if) he searches for the same term.

I see what you're doing there!

Just deleted one of vite's post from a thread I started in August, 2012. Good luck, bud, figuring out which one it was.

Is that you, Rassah, showing off your new coffee table?

This thread is now about...

I confirm this transaction, and everything went extremely smooth. cptmooseinc was very helpful, and hopefully he can satisfy others when in need.

Thanks to all that tried to help, but I went in order as to who offered first, so hopefully no hard feels on anybody's part.

I'm closing this thread.

~Bruno K~

I wonder what are the chances of this thread now being about images of dead cats.
