Perhaps the word "Charity" was the wrong word to use.

The idea here is to gather items the community is willing to donate that will go to fund a "relief fund" for those who have lost money in the coldkey debacle.

Thanks Frank!




Mahalo Dave!





Big mahalo geophphreigh!

Let me know if my math is off. If anyone wants to check.

I'll post the full list of prizes today or tomorrow .

awesome thank you for helping where you can.

Aloha polymerbit,

Can you specify exactly how I should label the item for the OP donation list?

That would help me a lot.

Mahalo,

Smoothie

Okay the 3 key holders sounds better.

Can you organize this?

Are there any suggested person(s) who should be trusted with the auction proceeds?

I would rather not hold them.

I'm open to hearing input on the matter.

One user brought up the discussion of how to distribute the funds to those affected. I'm not sure how this will work. But I'm sure the community can come up with a good way to do such a task.

This is a great question. I'm just facilitating the auction of items.

I'm not accepting the actual funds. I'm sure those in the community who would be considered trustworthy can help to deal with this portion of things.

Thanks for pointing this out.

I want to thank you all for all the messages reaching out to donate. I will take some time to update the list later today, tonight, or tomorrow with pictures and details.

I've added one more item to the donation list:

1/4 oz 999 fine GOLD Bitcoin Penny 2018 year (original packaging with hologram in tact)

I will be totaling the votes and announcing the winners for both contests either today or tomorrow along with their respective prizes.

Stay tuned.

 

Great idea Max.

Feel free to add an item to the list.

Auction for ColdKey victims of the apparent theft


LINK: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5434506.0


This thread is going to serve as a collection list of items people are willing to donate to a future auction that will take place on January 31st 2023 and will run for a period of time.

Each item will be listed as a different lot to bid on.

The payment address will be supplied by another community member who is trusted to collect these funds, not me.

As items are brought up in this thread or via PM I will add it to the list here.

I'm so sad for those who lost funds in this debacle. Hoping everyone involved can get restitution.

If you would like to add an item to this charity auction please send me a PM here on the forum with an image of the item or email me, or reply to this thread.

Please note that whatever items you choose to donate you will be responsible for shipping the item to the auction winner for that particular lot. An alternative could be is one person can collect these items and redistribute them, but that may add to the shipping costs all around.

This thread will be updated as new/more info is presented.

UPDATE JAN 30th :

Just spoke to MinerJones.

I will be shipping him a batch of blank 2022 Lealana 0.01 BTC Brass coins for the donators as a thank you.

Each donator will be given one of these blank coins. I will permanently mark the link to this thread on each coin's back facing surface along with a list of all the donator's forum handle on each coin.

MJ will help with the shipping of these to the donators.

I'm so pleased to see how many of you were willing to give in a time of need to those who were scammed.

Thank you all who so generously donated.




Looking for trusted party to hold funds:

Please if any one in the community who has a good trust track record would like to hold the funds please let me know. Not sure how to determine this as I don't want to dictate this. Perhaps a community consensus of who those persons could be would be appreciated.


Big Mahalo to all who have donated! 🤙




EDIT: FEB 1st

For all who donated to the auction:

Blank 2021 Brass Lealana coins. One per donator shipped by Minerjones.

I may add a design to the center area if I have time before they ship.

BIG MAHALO TO ALL DONATORS FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS!

If I missed anyone's name I will add it on to the coins before they ship. My bad!

I should have something soon.

Mahalo for your patience.

Technically their account meets the given timeframe(s) from that specific rule.

If the overall consensus of participants disagrees I may consider not counting their vote. But as it currently stands, it is a valid voting account.

What I will do to deal with this is whomever wins will have to provide this in order to claim the prize and it will have to be done publicly showing ownership over the art/decoration as proof.
