Seeing that we only make fifteen cents an hour and can't afford a pack of cigarettes on our own, anybody interested in a group buy?

<quick aside: upon googling the term "group buy" to see if it should include a hyphen, I learnt that this forum is listed in the number three position for said term>

EDIT: Added "our" since quoted.

Ergo, we need to commission two former Boy Scout leaders to destroy whatever is causing this to echo.

Anybody want some?

Thanks to Dank starting a thread and BadBear commenting on it, forcing me to reply with the following quote, none of this would have happened.


There's a thing called Karma, thus these two guys should be careful as to what them post like I do.

Addressing your EDIT first, apologies for the tx fees. By the nature of Bitfie, any amount over 99 US cents wouldn't be considered a Bitfie, thus requesting an entry fee between one and ten dollars wouldn't work.

I do like your Luckfie suggestion, albeit it'll have to coined Luckie, sans the "f", for it to be dubbed correctly. The only reason selfie has an "f" in it's term is because the root word was "self" with an "ie" added. The term "Bitfie" was coined to be similar to "selfie", hence the use of the letter "f" in its naming. Apologies for any confusion.

Lucky you, you coined the Bitfie "Luckie".

Simply send between one satoshi (0.00000001 BTC) and $0.99 (99 US cents/penny), inclusive to 1B2pGNTiES3V27cGBm6vu1rA15z5APxumu to enter, along with posting the "block chain" tx and the word "Bitfie" somewhere in your post.

Or enter free by posting the following:


One entry per user account, but feel free to enter again using another account you may have on this forum. No need to declare that you have done such.

Those wanting a chance to win the entire pool if your post number of this thread is drawn, must have paid to entered. Those wanting to enter free for a chance to win 10% of the pool are able to via the way shown above via the code wrap text.

You'll be able to change from a free entry to a paid entry anytime up to 24 hours prior to the drawing date by simply editing your post and giving a "block chain" tx link.

Please accept my apologies if I somehow made this giveaway too complicated, for that truly wasn't my intent.

I say, that's jolly good, my dear fellow.

Bobbie it is! I like it! But, would you, or some other be so kind as to attach an exact US cent amount to a Bobbie? It looks like it's in the 7-8 cents range.

Thanks for playing, railzand, and it looks like you're officially entered since your post does include the word Bitfie and a link to the "block chain" tx.

I won't be surprised if Coin interfaces with Bitcoin given the following:

Here's another 30 day challenge involving Bitcoin within the same exact time frame: http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/11/20/ross-ulbrichts-mother-calls-silk-road-allegations-absurd-launches-defense-fund/

I learnt something today! (not a diss toward the entrant, but about human nature in general)

I'm adding the following to the OP:

Go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=341886 and post the following:


You don't have to use the code wrap format, but it would be nice if you did.

Only one entry per user account, thus all your socks can participate.

If a Bit-pinchie is drawn first, they WILL NOT be entitled to the whole prize pool, unlike those that paid-to-play, of which will win the entire pool if chosen first, whereupon the contest will be declared over. But, if a Bit-pinchie is drawn first, then they will win only 10% of the pool, then a re-draw will commence until a person who submitted a Bitfie is declared a winner.

Given the above, it's possible to now have 10 winners, all receiving 10% of the prize pool each. Hell, if one has enough sockpuppet accounts, mathematically they could win it all without doling out one satoshi, of which is the bear minimum to enter, then be dubbed a Shrimpie or, in this case, a Satoshie, if the pay-to-play amount is exactly .0000001 BTC.

So, you wanna be a Bit-pinchie, Satoshie or Shrimpie? You're call. The only other two current options are Guppie or Whalie, but I somehow doubt that'll be the case since you're here reading on how to enter a giveaway contest for free.

PS: All entries must be posted in the linked thread above to qualify, and NOT this one. Feel free to ask questions in this thread, troll, or post links to view naked goats. I don't give a damn.

Ain't this interesting? A 30 day challenge with the same timeframe as mine. I wonder which one will be reached first and, moreover, reach its intended goal.

The current prize pool is $130.18

I'm not sure what it'll take for you guys to play, but I have a hunch, hence 'bout to pen another thread to get you cheap asses enrolled in The Great Bitfie Giveaway.

It'll be made! Thanks, bud.


Great, Bees! Look forward to meeting you guys in Las Vegas, for that's where I'm heading next to solicit a million dollars in donations for Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332561.0

I'll also have the sign you requested in tow.

Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332561.0

I believe I'm going to need advice, along with how much it'll cost, hoping for a decent rate, but still worth your time and effort.

The website is live, albeit I'm still in the process of tightening it up: http://typhoonhaiyanrelieffund.org/

Considering the goal of the endeavor, along with the size of the expected donations, I feel it prudent to have a 501(c)3 in place unless shown why and how one is not needed.

Thank you in advance.

It's not my fault that the exchange rate isn't $1M/BTC, hence its slow growth.  

The tentative deadline is Dec 20, 2013, thus close enough to my self-imposed 30 day challenge.

Looks like I'm going to have to pull a few rabbits outta my ass to see this to fruition, eh! But, I have a plan, and it involves this: http://www.mediabistro.com/insidebitcoins/

Fresh from the success of Thanksgiving at Satoshi Forest, I'm heading to Vegas for the two day Bitcoin conference and expo, to explore the growth of virtual currencies. Part of that exploration should involve NPOs and what role Bitcoin can play in that regard.

Besides hoping that I won't have to pay to attend, along with getting squeezed in for some mic time, I'll be able to rub shoulders with those in attendance then, at the end of the day(s), voilà, a million bucks. How hard could it be? If I come up a tad short, I'll call Sir Richard Branson to make up the difference.

Better yet, I'll call Sir Richard Branson first and ask if he'll match half a million dollars if Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund raises the first half.

Perhaps, Sir Richard could be instrumental as to where the raised funds should go, given the following: http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/richard-branson#charities

http://www.actionagainsthunger.org/blog/saving-lives-and-livelihoods-race-recovery-after-typhoon-haiyan


Seems a tad farfetched, but it's worth a shot nonetheless.

Something I didn't take into consideration, albeit I touched upon it lightly, is the matter of having a 501(c)3 in place. Big donors will surely want the ability to write off their donations, thus it's imperative that such is in place.

Although it could be a somewhat lengthy process, even with all the paperwork properly submitted, at least one can still take advantage of a write-off while it's being processed, having a tax ID number to refer to, similar to what BitGive has in place: http://bitgivefoundation.org/donate.html


I'm going to pen a post in legal to get this very important aspect rolling. Meanwhile, I've been adding content to the official website so that, once again, it doesn't come across as lame. Once I reach a point where I'm just about finish, I'll request users here to peruse it to make sue it passes the smell test, so to speak.

Bruno Kucinskas

Okay, but how do we really know you didn't photoshop a daughter?  Delivery rooms pics, or it didn't happen. 

Looks like more than enough to put any naysayers to rest, Dabs.

Later, bud.

http://www.eurekarecycling.org/ looks fine from here, Rassah.
