I heard that Max Keiser might actually be Satoshi Nakamoto!  Probably started by Alex Jones. |

I couldn't figure out what this was. After someone else reported it I moved it out of the thread.
Apologies for being off-topic. |

I think the time has come for BitcoinTalk to have a Charity section with one subsection entitled Charity Announcements, of which no bitcoin wallet address is submitted and is used solely as a vetting process. Not until the NPO passes muster by its peers, read us, fellow bitcoiners, does it get moved to my a mod/admin only to the official Charity section, upon only then a bitcoin wallet address can be added. This act should clean up the rest of this forum at least in this regard.
We can start by adding the following venerable causes to the hopefully new section:
Bitcoin 100
Sean's Outpost
My mega thread that feeds people
Dab's two main causes, based in the Philippines
Apologies for not adding any other ongoing noble causes above.
Somebody quote this post and start a thread in Meta for theymos' attention if you feel such course of action is warranted. PM me if such occurs.
Thanks, in advance.

If you want to throw Oxford Homeless Pathways in the list as well I would be grateful. <edited the post of which quoted for clarity and grammar> What I propose is for ongoing and future BitcoinTalk discussions pertaining to garnering donations via bitcoin, albeit a dedicated thread discussing Oxford Homeless Pathways is not outta the question. If OHP already accepts bitcoins on their website, then I envision it on the Charities section, otherwise it would be in the vetting section. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your input, Kelticfox. |

how do people fall for this?  I figured this guy would be a scammer, got a PM from him earlier asking for donations. Any new user that solicits donations for charity via PM is probably always scamming.
This is the most disgusting type of scam, makes me sick thinking about it.
People always want to believe in the good, hard to blame them for that.. He PM'd us too, here's how we went about it.. "It is very unfortunate for legitimate charities that there is so much charity related scam already on the forums. You and your cause both sound legit to us, but unfortunately so did others that were later proven to be scams. This would be much easier if you were a well respected Hero Member with high trust ratings, but that, at least for now, doesn't seem to be the case. The best we can do is this- If a reputable member of the forum with positive trust score vouches for you, or if a few reputable members or companies we know donate to your charity, we will gladly follow suit." We suggest taking a similar approach before donating. Also, we feel something needs to be done to bring about a standard process through which charities could be legitimised and vouched for by trusted members. It would go a long way for the community if we could redirect the coin towards real causes that otherwise might've gone to scammers (and the most despicable ones at that).

I bought one for me, and one for my daughter. I have 0 use for the one I own, I used it one time, and my phone does the same thing. In need of funds for Christmas/New Years, will sell for slightly below retail. Perfect condition, included is a car charger, home charger, 2 cases, 2 screen protectors, wrist strap, and stylus.
Selling for 240.00 in btc.
Not shipping first, not escrowing, need funds. I am online on Grid Poker (btc poker site) most days and nights, and am trusted. If close to Saint Louis, may arrange face to face pickup, for cash.
I play softball and vollyball for my high school. I am pretty good too  WTF i send him 0.005 BTC. Damn it!
Im a goth chick, who weighs 74 lbs. I lost my money for food this week, so I am going to drop to 71 pounds.

I have an idea as to where to send our rejects, not meant in the derogatory sense: http://www.bitcoindf.org/Our Charter:
The Bitcoin development fund was created to support projects that benefit the greater bitcoin community. Our first donation of 1,000 BTC was made by Butterfly Labs which is a bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer. If you would like to donate or become a member of our charity selection board, please email submit@bitcoindf.org or send BTC to 1ERVh27gZfPSDaaagL9R3W12xpMJ38ZBA7. This would be ideal for the all the fine NPO's that may not qualify for a Bitcoin 100 endowment, but may have no real problem qualifying for a bitcoindf endowment. A while back, Josh penned the following. We have been calling and explaining bitcoin to a number of charities and trying to get them on board. It's not exactly a quick or easy process.
If you've got some, by all means, submit them and we'll review them and/or add them as appropriate. The BitcoinDF site is not finished, but we did want to get something up to move things forward. That's why it was labeled as a sneak peek.

Am I able to nominate a non-profit to be a recipient?
Bitcoin100 is not a structured organization, ad is owned and run by donors and anyone else wishing to help. So everyone is free to nominate and contribute. http://www.theroadhome.org/The Road Home accepts Bitcoin donations through a coinbase widget right on their donation page. On their Give link under Make a Donation, they have it split between cash donations on the left and Bitcoin on the right. They provide emergency shelter and run a winter shelter. Any idea when they added bitcoin donations? I'm also curious as to how they decided on it. This should answer your question, Rassah: http://www.meetup.com/Utah-Bitcoin-Community/messages/boards/thread/39924902 |

Thanks for your post. One other thing is that if you are promoting your property yourself, one of the issues you need to be alert to upfront is when to deal with house inspection reviews. As a FSBO owner, the key to successfully shifting your property plus saving money upon real estate agent revenue is understanding. The more you are aware of, the simpler your sales effort is going to be. One area exactly where this is particularly important is inspection reports. bitcoin casino says:

EDIT: Alex Jones is probably a CIA asset or in other words "fake" (and also has a nice business ripping people of), if you didnt realize it yet, you are doomed.
I love it when paranoid conspiracy theorists become paranoid of other paranoid conspiracy theorists. I locked all the doors and lowered all the lights so that I could reply to this post. I think... WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT NOISE? BRB... Back! It was nothing. Nothing at all. Like I was saying, while enjoying a nice ice cold glass of Kool Aid... |

circle is doing things the way they should be done, getting everything in order and the infrastructure built up. with the financial backing they have and the business experience they bring to the table i would imagine circle can do a pretty good job competing with the likes coinbase and bitpay. only time will tell though
They better hope so, otherwise somebody(s)'s goin' come along and add a four letter word starting with J to their name. |

What do you think about this trend?
People that trade bitcoin on the street would follow this trend: to wear yellow trousers and orange shoes!
What do you think?
How close am I?  |

According to this video, they are already applying resources towards the next nm fab chip (read < 28nm chips). I am officially not listening to anyone else that says that they can't honor their btc refund commitment. Somebody posting something about auctioning off a mask.  |

11. Minimum Investment
Minimum investment accepted from any outside investor $0 USD  Why do consider that interesting? Because I was under the assumption that they did have an outside investor. |
