I will check it this Sunday to see if there is more donations. I won't be marking people since that's too much work for me.

The rate of posting is low this month, and there are few real members creation. We don't have enough critical mass for takeoff. I don't know if we're losing momentum, but just to make sure, double the amount of energy into increasing the mass for takeoff. We can't expect others to do their share of the work, we must do it ourselves. Slashdot so far is only our signifigant source of new members blast. We may need a couple more blasts to go to the rest of the J curves but we shouldn't relies on it to make our success. If anything, user blasters will be the product of creating our own "lucks".
Keep showing up on IRC and forums. Keep building web services. Keep writing letters. Most of all, find yourself a niche. Division of labor has made our wonderful civilization like this. Let seize it in our new society.
I know I also need to do my part too, so I shall contribute in some small way. I'll shall begin working on a prediction market no later than this Wednesday.

I might be able to help with this. I have a personal contact with one of the guys who founded EFF. I will write him a letter. No promises though.
Any progress for that matter? |

No reply, ever. Any suggestion on how I should move next?

The forex market oscillates between certain range within a week, generally following downtrend or uptrend over a longer period like in monthwise context.Anybody dealing in forex knows that 10 % profit over a single transaction is not a big deal, using mathematical models one can have literally be never in loss .But there is risk in each and every future event(Heisenberg 's principle) -events like some calamity or economic collapse, so, to gaurantee 10% returns I will use my BTC reserve or the previous accumulated profits ( incase of loss ) and the maximum investment will be kept limited to minimise greater risk of loss .Trust is thing which is very hard to get ,but being myself and others here involved in bitcoin for a long perod of time,so please give me a little trust , I will try to make to it more concrete .
Can you explain to me (or give me a link that explains it) how Heisenberg's principle applies to forex markets? At first, this sounds a bit like gibberish to me. :s Black Swan event? |

I got Bad Hostname for some reason. Perhaps this is a bad omen?(JK, I don't believe in superstition)

At this time, I still do not have anything from the EFF.

It wasn't neogold or whatever that guys name is. I thought it was fraud at first but it is actually someone with some trading strategy that I don't quite understand yet.
Hmm. Well, then maybe I could still end up with some more once nenolod (?) checks his email; and whoever this guy was just really needed a grand in a hurry. Maybe he was short for his mortgage. So that was a grand worth of bitcoins?  |

Finally got some bitcoins! Thanks to whoever sold bitcoins on the cheap.

It is not a good idea to stretch the generosity of the bitcoin community too thin. Focus on one charity at a time, and geek charity first. The objective is to unite the geek tribe under one banner.
My intended focus is more on informing charities and organizations of the existence of Bitcoin and how they can benefit from it rather than focusing on suggesting to the charity that our community would like to donate. That is not what I meant. My focus is on the goal of making bitcoin stronger using the limited goodwill of the bitcoin community. Geek charities are more likely to understand what bitcoin is and is likely to sympathize with the various goals of the bitcoin community. |

Don't forget the big guys like the Free Software Foundation.

You could just elect to running your own bitcoin using web application, not program for others. For example, I been thinking of building an ads network.

Dear Electronic Frontier Foundation,
The Bitcoin community appreciates your efforts to protect freedom and to keep the Internet free of unnecessary regulatory intervention.
Bitcoin <https://bitcoin.org> is a new open-source P2P cryptocurrency system, published under the MIT license.
There are several enterprises and individuals in the Bitcoin community. Many have expressed their desire to donate to your foundation, with 800 Bitcoins pledged to date.
We are certain that you will receive many more in individual donations if you will set up your own EFF Bitcoin node.
Warmest regards,
The Bitcoin community I sent this letter with "several" not "several hundred" to the EFF. I don't like to exaggerate. |

I counted 420 bitcoins reported. However, 100 btc are unaccounted for.  |

We got two guys who donated. 110 bitcoins.
