And now Erik Fendik from he DC Bitcoin Meetup group has joined in to help: Hi Shabana, Please meet my friend Dmitry. We met in DC in a group of people enthusiastic about innovative technologies that improve our society. He now runs a foundation that is looking for worthy nonprofits to donate to. I am also getting him in touch with over a dozen more organizations I have been connected to. I think he will really appreciate Hope Through Education and School of Leadership, Afghanistan. Dmitry's foundation is called BitCoin100. They arose out of the generosity of a few early adopters of an amazing currency called BitCoins (if you haven't heard of them, this might help) to promote the value of the currency for nonprofits: when donors make their donations in BitCoins, the recipient nonprofit keeps 100% (hence the name). None of the funds are lost to credit card or processing fees. BitCoin100 donates $1,000 to selected nonprofits who agree to accept the currency on their donation page. It doesn't take much work to get it set up, but I know the money could do a lot of good for your genuine and altruistic efforts. @Dmitry, Shabana is a friend of mine with a great passion for improving lives of others. I met her at Middlebury College while getting immersed in challenges and peculiarities about socio-economic development. Shabana strives to educate women and works terelessly to do so at her home in Afghanistan. She has been recognized for her work countless times nationally and internationally (eg. link1, [urlhttp://www.bushcenter.org/blog/2013/05/13/leading-change-featuring-shabana-basij-rasikh]link2[/url]). I know she and her partners could do a lot of good with $1,000 and I thank you kindly for your time helping out! Good luck! Thanks to Kite Runner and Thousand Splendid Suns, I'm all for getting women access to education in Afghanistan, so these are +1 for me Hi Claudia, Please meet my friend Dmitry. We met in DC in a group of people enthusiastic about innovative technologies that improve our society. He now runs a foundation that is looking for worthy nonprofits to donate to. I am also getting him in touch with over a dozen more organizations I have been connected to. I think he will really appreciate Global Family Initiative. Dmitry's foundation is called BitCoin100.

I met her at Middlebury College while taking educational studies classes in her department and collaborating with her on educational outreach efforts. She is an amazing professor, educator, and an inspirational leader. She founded Betasab in 2008 which is now a part of her Global Family Initiative. I was fortunate enough to be a part of their field work in Ethiopia last summer when I helped setting up a computer literacy lab for them. I know they could do a lot of good with $1,000 and I thank you kindly for your time helping out! Good luck! This one seems fine too. Hi Muyambi, Awesome fundraising time on Thursday! As I told you in person, please virtually meet my friend Dmitry. We met in DC in a group of people enthusiastic about innovative technologies that improve our society. He now runs a foundation that is looking for worthy nonprofits to donate to. I am also getting him in touch with over a dozen more organizations I have been connected to. I think he will really appreciate Bicycles Against Poverty (BAP). Dmitry's foundation is called BitCoin100.

I met him at Red Cross Nordic United World College in Norway where we lived in the same house and shared struggles as well as joys running marathons together. After Muyambi got a scholarship at Bucknell University, PA, he established BAP in 2009 (you can read more at the UWC press release). I know they could do a lot of good with $1,000 and I thank you kindly for your time helping out! Good luck! Donating bikes to let kids reach far away schools, and others reach markets and such in remote areas. Man, some of these charities are inventive  +1 from me, too. sola-afghanistan.org passes with no issues that I can find, along with liking these folks. helainc.org somewhat passes, and I like them also, but there 501(c)3 has been pending for years, of which is no real problem, and they once had a funding goal of collecting $100K USD by May, 2011, stated from the get-go of starting their website, of which can still be seen live today. Not too much of a concern, but wanted to bring it up in case it's relevant, and for others to possibly check and see how viable they still are today. I'm sure they fine, but a slight tad of more due diligence may be in order to make sure we're not missing anything pertaining to their venable cause. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

Just got an e-mail from them today, and was wondering when they started taking bitcoin donations, until I saw your post. Here's the e-mail From: Shannon
Hi Dmitry, my name is Shannon Forsythe and I am the Executive Director of
Run2 Rescue, a US non-profit that helps girls who have hurt by sex
trafficking. SeansOutpost on reddit informed me about Bitcoin100 and
advised me to contact you about supporting and listing our organization.
I'm not sure what information you need from us but our website is
run2rescue.com and the donation page on our site is at:
run2rescue.com/donate.html which includes our Bitcoin address.
Let me me know if there is any documentation or anything else you need.
Thank you for work in helping non-profits and thank you for your
consideration and time,
Shannon Forsythe
Executive Director
Run 2 Rescue
These guys were just recently convinced to take bitcoin donations (like, today I think), so they may still qualify. Maybe. We need to discuss this further. So far what we've agreed upon is: If a charity is owned by a bitcoiner, it shouldn't qualify If a charity has already been receiving bitcoin for a while, it shouldn't qualify Bot of these reasons are because Bitcoin100 is supposed to entice new charities to accept bitcoin. Possibly charities who wouldn't have considered it otherwise. But is there a cutoff point to this? For example, what if someone convinces a charity to accept bitcoin, and then as soon as they do, points them to us? In this case, the charity wasn't convinced to take bitcoin specifically because of our $1,000 reward, but should we keep from rewarding them for taking the step anyway? SOB! I like these folks, but it looks like there's another issue that has to be taken into consideration: http://run2rescue.com/Run 2 Rescue is a Christian
non-profit organization committed to
restoring victims of sex trafficking. Unfortunately, that negates... http://bitcoin100.org/Bitcoin100 donates the Bitcoin equivalent of $1000 to non-political, secular charities that prominently display an option for supporters to contribute via Bitcoin on their website. Looks like what's needed is a non-secular Bitcoin NPO to fill that gap. Bitcoin 100 well endorse any such entities as long as they pay us the monthly 10% franchise fee.  Clearly, I was only kidding, but we would love to endorse any Bitcoiner(s) that's willing to take on said task and is somehow proven to be honorable. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

Also, the Sri Lanka Campaign for Peace and Justice, a London-based NGO, just started to accept bitcoin ( http://www.srilankacampaign.org/giveanonymously.htm) They actually started taking it a sort while ago, but forgot to tell us  Does that disqualify them? (*looks at Phinneas* ) No! They are fine! Endowment, I say. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

Phinn is looking as pretty as ever!  Surprisingly, Genjix has yet to see one of his outfits missing.  Now, I'm going to catch up on this thread, addressing all that needs addressing. |

It's creepy how the last few pages of this thread make me feel like I'm reading all the BFL threads from early this year... Just fucking creepy.
As far as I recall, I haven't penned a word about HashFast, but I'll tell you this. While at Inside Bitcoins, the general consensus I've overheard about HashFast is that they are not a company to consider when considering which outfit to purchase miners from. In fact, most pointed out this thread if one wanted a humorous read, of which now I can see why. The best and the worse I can say about HashFast at this penning. ~TMI BTCITW |

Thanks, but there's no way around the mountain pass I'm headin' toward today. Luckily, I procured a black goat for good luck while on the road. I may even let him her drive a few miles.

if one understands the context the spelling is irrelevant. only someone without a life would draw joy out of calling someone on it to boost their little ego.

Gulp! I thought it was the size of one pinis. |

Sounds fun... Im in. I love on the northside.
Heard that! There's not much love on the Southside. Please PM me prior to any meetups, for you can't have a successful Bitcoin meetup without The Most Interesting Bitcoiner in the World in attendance. |

Currently somewhere in Utah, home of the Bees Brothers and Austin and Beccy, staying at the Days Inn, again with poor internet service. Can't get it in my room, so I'm in the lobby at 4 AM local time, and now I have to take a shit, so back to the room...

Well, a paradiddle is RLRR. Or LRLL. With drumsticks. If you do them in sucsession you alternate. But the basic pattern is Right, left, right, right, or... On, off, on, on.
Or represented binarily 1011. Which is how many satoshi(s?) I sent. :-)
Now had a sent a payment the represented two hands it would have been
10110100 or 01001011 satoshis, either of which would be more of a 'toomuchie' than a paradiddlie. :-)
I knew it was there somewhere, so thanks kindly for the explanation. Looks like we officially have a Paradiddlie. PS. I kinda hope someone figures out how to do a Bo Diddlie.
Me, too! Oh boy, lookie here! Fine job on defining a Bo-Diddlie, Kith. Let's see who'll be the first to send it as a Bitfie. And what a fine Guppie you are, Kith, for coinin' the Meaning-of-Lifie Bitfie and conductin' it's first transaction. Headin' over to the second post of this thread to update the new Bitfies. ~TMI BTCITW |

Due to a knee injury, Faysal Hanneche had to cut the trip short to the South Pole, thus no Bitcoin flag will be planted. http://transantarctic.wordpress.com/Here's to hoping that Faysal has a speedy recovery. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

Wish I would've had more time to rap with Smoothie, for he seems to be a pretty good guy. Pleasure meeting you, bud. Not having a foot order problem for many a years now, I was becoming very self-conscience of an odor stemming from the brand new slippers and pink woman's socks. Luckily, Josh was already heading to India, otherwise he may have mistaken me for Bryan Micon. |

We have a special update from an earlier post I made regarding my upcoming film. We just released a newly designed homepage and preview video of a film I am currently directing and portraying the lead female role in called Tangerine Skies. The film is one of the first films, or maybe even the first film, to accept Bitcoins from people who want to become a "backer" for the film in exchange for certain perks we're giving (e.g., being named associate producer, press publicity, featured in film credits, a small speaking role, etc...). Links: New homepage: www.gcrestproductions.com. **You'll automatically here music playing from the soundtrack - I am the singer and musician - and also music from my last album - mostly instrumentals. Preview Video: http://www.gcrestproductions.com/tangerine-skies-film1.html*The film is about a a couple who goes on the greatest treasure hunt in history, and an unseen dark force who wants to stop them..especially the woman. The treasure to be found is so powerful it could eliminate poverty and overturn the world's power and economic structure (who controls what, where, and when). Naturally, the couple will have to fight dark elite forces who want to stop that from even happening. The film is inspired by actual events and documentation of the actual ancient treasure object If anyone is interested in supporting the film, you can also visit our link with all the details here: http://www.gcrestproductions.com/tangerine-skies-film-vip-package.htmlAre you Max Keiser? http://www.maxkeiser.com/2013/03/first-ever-feature-film-to-be-fully-bitcoin-funded/ |

Again, it's hard to stand out from the crowd when there's rodeo clowns and a ballroom contest in town. Luckily, for me, there's no other bitcoiners donning pink tutus.
