I had an idea after watching this story on NY 1 last night: www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/173222/couple-helping-sandy-victims-worried-they-will-no-longer-be-able-to-rent-u-haul.

This Staten Island couple has been renting a UHaul truck filled with tools/materials to help cleanup efforts post-Sandy, and apparently they are starting to have some trouble raising the funds needed to keep the UHaul truck, which has been essential to their efforts. Apparently in the 4 weeks since Sandy has hit, they've cleaned up over 1,000 houses with the help of volunteers; sounded pretty free-market efficient to me (and willing to bet FEMA isn't putting up the same #'s per $).

As a NYer, I've been wondering who I can donate to where the money wouldn't be wasted going towards some bureaucratic mess, and this seemed like a great opportunity to help.

I've gotten in contact with Mike Hoffman (the husband), and he said their current cost for the UHaul truck is $45/day. The story mentions that they might lose the truck as early as today, but I've spoken with Mike and know that they have secured it for at least today.

Paysius.com has been generous enough to offer to convert BTC to USD for this volunteer team free-of-charge. I will speak with Mike soon to see if he would like to post a BTC address on his facebook page, once he lets me know he is ok with doing that I will post his facebook page along with what I hope will be a direct BTC address.

In the meantime, I have created a Blockchain address to accept BTC on the couple's behalf: 13FcRkmXyqf38UXpZo8Lj5nFKR11A6MkPs
The Paysius team will be happy to confirm that this is legit and all funds go directly to the Hoffmans.

Thanks so much Bitcoin community, it's exciting and empowering to know we can directly help out others with our magic internet-money powers! I will be making a donation myself shortly to kick things off.

Hi Bitcoin'ers,

Now I'm sure this will sound silly, but I need help from the BTC community getting some file images together so that MyBitcoinMint.com can participate in the Bitcoin Friday sale today. Unfortunately I'm at regular-people work right now and don't have the ability to make the image files myself, so if somebody can take the MyBitcoinMint logo and create a 240x240 image file and a 240x240 image file of our Silver Bitcoin shown on the homepage of MyBitcoinMint.com, I will happily send you some BTC's for your effort.

Please email the two image files to Jon Holmquist [jon@bitcoinfriday.com] and CC myself [gabriel.sukenik@gmail.com].

For the Bitcoin Friday sale, we will be discounting our Silver and Gold Bitcoins by $1.50 per coin. I will be updating the MyBitcoinMint.com website with these price discounts shortly. If anybody places an order before I am able to update the site, just let me know and I will make sure to refund you the extra $1.50

Thanks in advance for the help, and apologies for my own computer illiteracy! Have a great shopping day everyone!

Hi Developers!

My Bitcoin Mint is looking to initiate a new project: to create physical Bitcoins with an NFC-enabled wallet. We have coins, we can get NFC stickers, but what we need is an NFC app developer who can help implement an app that will allow people with NFC enabled smartphones to create their own public and private keys, encrypt them, and transfer/store them onto an NFC sticker.

If you have any suggestions, would like to help, have any useful tips, or would be interested in being paid to write this sort of App, please let us know!

Former Fed economist David Barker: "One thing we've learned over the last several decades is that central planning does not work as well as markets."

He cites Bitcoin as an experiment into private currency and says "private money might be better."

+1 for Bitcoin

Time to ask John Stossel to publish a Bitcoin address so we can properly thank him
