Probably just a spelling error, Psytoshi.

Back in '09, some guy named Bruce raided rated the place: http://www.yelp.com/biz/meze-grill-new-york?start=40


I believe the text in bold is by Bruce and not the owner's words.

The following is open for discussion and can be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149892.msg1630513#msg1630513 and here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149892.msg1630547#msg1630547

I see no problem with supporting Courage to Resist. Please bare in mind that the amount donated will only be $1,000 and not 100 BTC (~$4,500).

All they have to do is embed the Donation Accepted Here button linking to one of their pages or directly to BitPay, of which will transfer their Bitcoin donations to fiat at zero expense to themselves.

It can be looked upon at paying for ad placement, of sorts, with the PayPal button acting as same. Yet, they're paying ~3% for the privilege on having a PayPal ad on their site, whereas we'll pay $1,000 and it'll cost them nothing.

If I figured correctly, they've spent no less than $30,000 on fees along. When they accept bitcoins, they'll never have to pay a fee again. Nor worry about chargebacks, of which I'm sure they've had to deal with as well.



Thank you, Goat and phelix, for you more than kind donations. The list in the OP has been updated, and I'm sure Rassah will update the ledger in a timely manner.

phelix, I've also changed the links per your request in the OP and on http://bitcoin100.org/about/partisans/

Thus, deserves to loose his money. I'm guessing he went to Pattaya and still is bitter about paying for services when he picked up the wrong gender. (think about that last sentence)

Wait one fuckin' minute!:


The title of the thread is "bit instant has been hacked".

THEN...


Thread title for above: please if you know anything about bitinstant stealing coins post here

...

Now he's claiming to have lost funds he's able to afford via InstantWallet--not Bit Instant.

Well, somebody blow me, jack me off, and stick a finger two fingers three fingers up my ass.

That's an excellent guess, but honestly I didn't know they were down tell after I posted here, then I went ahead and posted my parking ticket comment.

I like IW, but something has changed recently and I can't put my finger on it.

Before, I was able to see my wallet in BlockChain and it will have the same amount as I view it on IW's URL page. Now the BlockChain continues to read 0 available with the coins set to some other address(es), yet still see a balance on the IW URL page. I'm still able to send coins and they get to their destination rather quickly.

To see what I mean, here's an address I set up to pay out a bounty: http://blockchain.info/address/1JppeHVdYQEBGR4uHVTqLQsb2FY1wUTziH

The wallet shows $0, yet at IW I clearly have 0.105 BTC of which I can still send, hopefully.

I look forward to having some light shed on this.

PS: To be clear, the wallet address is 1JppeHVdYQEBGR4uHVTqLQsb2FY1wUTziH

And if you accept the above offer, during the interim of you obtaining the ten non-profits we obtain one some other way, we'll still shoot you $500 worth of bitcoins, thus one less you have to secure. But no promises.

Perhaps, a selling point to the NPO/NGO's could be a mention of their noble causes in the documentary. That'll help give them further exposure as well, especially if the film was nominated for something--or anything.

If you paid for a Spanish program from psy, there's a scammer tag section on this forum. Also, Dank is the best musician I can think of on this forum. I just came up with an interesting idea while penning that last sentence. Image Dank as a busker, playing(?) his guitar, accepting donations only in bitcoins, whereupon if he reaches a certain amount, he'll stop playing. Otherwise the song(?) remains the same.

<end humor>

Seeing that there's four of you, and the documentary's based on a financial aspect, what better place to start it than here?



After filming a similar work, head on over to Bank on Dave and try to convince him to start accepting/dealing-in Bitcoin. Explain to him that you're making a documentary and looking for a short term Bitcoin loan.



For starters, everything you guys are doing now that's Bitcoin related should be filmed, for it's all part of the project.

Back to the Bitcoin 100 proposal.

Currently, we have ~$20,000 worth of bitcoins setting in our coffer. All we're asking in return for a $1,000 donation is a link on your official site and a tiny mention in the credits, something you would do for some other entity willing to donate a chuck of change. You would do it for Bank on Dave, wouldn't you?

But I'm willing to go one better--a lot better. But it would entail a little effort on your part, but worth the footage. I'll explain in sec, but first the following.

Originally, Bitcoin 100's intent was to dole out 100 BTC to any non-profit that would simple embed a Bitcoin donation option onto their website, provided they met a couple simple criteria. Four have done so, and $400 to $1,200 worth of coins were donated to them, depending on the exchange rate at the time. The purpose was, and still is, to further the awareness of Bitcoin. Now some of those early entities we approached declined when bitcoins traded in the single digits (US dollar speaking). Now at $46 a coin, they may have second thoughts seeing that there's $4,600 to be had.

But I foreseen this as a possibility early on, thus suggestion that at some arbitrary amount like $20 per coin should be the cutting off point for the 100 BTC donation. Since we've surpassed that mark, and Bitcoin is obtaining more exposure, it's time to cut that figure down to $1,000 per charitable organization, but not lower, as I've mentioned a few times already in Bitcoin 100's main thread.

And what more venerable cause then your endeavor to start, leaving us with ~$19,000.

Here's what I propose. First accept the $1,000 donation. Then seek out an NPO/NGO willing to embed a Bitcoin donation option onto their respective website, and they will receive a $1,000 donation. For your efforts, $500 worth of bitcoin will be transferred to your coffer.

Ideally, it'll be nice to be filming your efforts, showing beforehand how easy this sounds, but hopefully you encounter brick walls which makes good cinema.

Do this 12 times total, and you'll receive an additional $6,000 on top of the $1,000 we hopefully gave you, leaving $1,000 in our coffer at the current exchange rate. Hypothetically if the exchange rate remains the same after your team/network-of-friends garner the 12 non-profits, we'll give you that $1,000 as a bonus. At the end of the day, our coffer will be empty and your (ours, as in bitcoiners) documentary is well on its way. I'm sure you brainiacs can figure out a way to weave the story line in on how you had to give away thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins so that you can make this fine documentary.

Think about it! It'll probably be the first ever documentary funded via the giving away of money opposed to the trying of obtain it. And it would only take some effort on your team's part, of which you should be able to collect some fine footage during the process, provided camera's in hand.

Fuck it! Make it only 10 NPO/NGO's you need to obtain at $1K a pop, and the rest is yours. And if the exchange rate goes higher in the coming weeks, of which it may, I pretty sure you'll have your $13K from us. We'll still dole it out at $1,000 per charity and $500 to you, with the balance transferred once the tenth charity is obtained.

Image the footage when you receive a yes on that tenth entity. The jumping up with joy knowing that you have earned the money hoped for to make said documentary.

What we get out of the deal is eleven more non-profit entities (ten, plus yourself) who've added Bitcoin donation options onto their websites. That's all we ever wanted in the first place. And if the exchange rate wouldn't have risen, the best we would have hoped for was only ~4 more with the current amount of bitcoins we have on hand.

The way I see it, it's a win/win for all parties concerned. The worse aspect of the entire deal is that there would be some effort on your team's (and your network of friends/associates) part. But the filming of said effort would make the quest that much more valuable.

If luck is on your side, you may even approach $20K worth of bitcoins.

The other option is doing it the old fashion way getting a dollar here, a dollar there, and in no time (no pun intended) you've have a sawbuck.

Let me know what you think.

~Bruno K~

Sure am! See post #1 where I penned I have the right to amend the rules of this bounty, therefore I had to exercise that right due to the sudden increase of the exchange rate. Besides, psy said that it would be okay if I did such. I PM'ed theymos three times to ask him, but have learned he has a new girlfriend to replace the one stolen from him by a fellow Bitcoiner, thus utilizing up all his free time.

I was going to link the thread where he states that he's leaving Bitcoin, but I'm currently having a problem finding it. Something about college exams if you care to search for the thread.

Jon didn't want me to do it, but Bad_Bear convinced him otherwise, concurring with psy. But it all worked out, cause I'm a fair guy and the winner got $.32 more than if I did it back then. Not much, but every bit counts.

I just sent deepceleron his winners after receiving a PM from him, and I'm sure those extra cents will tickle him pink.

Sorry you didn't win, but thanks for playing. Look forward to you participating in my contest.

~Bruno K~

What a sore loser!

luicon has been paid roughly five minutes ago.

Still awaiting two other PMs.

We have 5 TVs in this home, though all can receive 100's of channels of programming, four are used mainly for gaming, none of which I play.

At last count there were seven people in CS, with more to be hired. I know I didn't read that from any of Team Avalon's post/site(s). Don't make me go there to show my cock to Jody's chickens.

Let's go fishing there, Herodes. Looks like the bass are ready to spawn.

I've watched very little TV since dad passed in July, 2010. Since then, it's been 99% internet, with no less than 50% of that time dedicated to something Bitcoin related since I discovered the bitch in mid-2011.

BTW, you didn't win the T-Shirt bounty, Satoshi, but you came in a close eighth (never realized that that's a funny spelt[arch.] word).

Follow the link if desiring to view the entire short thread of which the above quote resides.

Thank you again, all, for participating. And nobody tell psy that this was rigged for him not to win.  

~Bruno K~

I just PM all three winners and gave them a bonus, but they're shown to secrecy as to what that curtails.

deepceleron(3.) is the winner and will recieve 1 BTC, with luicon(1.) and jsmithers(2.) will each receiver .105 BTC. I guess I could have broken it down to a .11/10 split, but don't think they'll mind this arrangement.

1. luicon
2. jsmithers
3. deepceleron

It looks like jsmithers has not logged on since January, but will PM him nonetheless.
