Stats in the U.S. traditionally biased against communism, so I think you can reduce this amount to half or even quarter.

Stats in US about the harms of slavery are also traditionally biased, so you can reduce the other amount to half or even quarter, too (source - same as yours)

Also, relevant: http://www.xkcd.com/1319/

I'll play catch-up tomorrow.

How did the freebie aspect workout at the info desk, Rassah?

~TMIBTCITW

I gave away my entire stack of paper wallets, each one with a gift, of course Smiley Also gave away so much advice, my throat was hoarse for the next two days from talking. Speaking of which, I need to poke that horse charity I've been meaning to convince since last summer...
1123  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits on: January 31, 2014, 04:51:34 AM
Both www.dolfilms.org and www.orphanbracelet.org would work, but only one endowment per person. I would love to see both sites accept bitcoins, whether for donations or purchases, and sincerely hope they embed a Bitcoin donation option on one of the sites so that they can receive a $1K USD via bitcoins endowment from Bitcoin 100.

~Bruno Kucinskas

It took them quite some time, but they finally got it set up http://www.dolfilms.org/

Donation sent! https://blockchain.info/tx/d33d324019699d0b27b982fadd2b33da034b00f8fd4c52f470895d2c1cc07858

and their reply

Hello Rassah,

Thank you so much for the donation.
And yes it was worth it [I said I hope all the work was worth the reward], not for the money, but to get the button on my page...

Check this link out BITCOIN CONTEST LINK... http://bitcoinbaba.com/ubuntu-bracelet-campaign/

Thank you!!!!!

Version 1.1.6 is out. Get it on Google Play or direct download

Update includes:

* Support for btc-e
* Danish translation
* Some minor bug fixes.


I'm learning more and more about this awesome wallet software, and have been using it as my main wallet way before I joined this team (I think I started using it as my main back in August?). This thing is like bitcoin: fairly basic at fist glance (just digital cash), but has tons of features when you start digging into it. And the team is working on some really exciting new features that we'll announce in the near future. Also, I'll be creating some instructional videos about the wallet's more advanced functions over the next few weeks, but in the mean time, feel free to ask me any questions (I'm even happy to answer ones that aren't related to Mycelium  Cheesy)

And yet another request:

From: Joe Wos

The ToonSeum, a nonprofit museum of comic and cartoon art is now accepting donations via bitcoin and would like to learn more about your program.
Thanks,
Joe


When asked when they added bitcoin donations to their site, and how they have heard about it, they followed up with

Quote
Three days ago lol! I heard about it from my 12 year old son. After a visit to CES i became convinced that we should do it. Though i still have some reservations. Still trying to grasp it all but I'm a geek so love tech!.

Joe

FYI, I know this charity very well, since they are just a few blocks away from Anthrocon, the biggest furry convention in the world, and are very often frequented and heavily supported by furries during the convention. So vetting isn't really an issue, as I can completely vouch for them (having visited them myself), but they should still be reviewed as a matter of consistency (and we need to make a decision on whether they qualify despite already deciding to accept it themselves).
1127  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits on: January 30, 2014, 02:04:12 AM
Will do, Rasah.

I've been thinking about starting a blog/CMS site listing all bitcoin accepting charities that I know of, whether or not they meet Bitcoin100 prerequisites for a donation from us, so that like-minded bitcoin donators can find them.

Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking about that, too, but Bitcoin100 already has the name recognition and marketing (I've heard a few people say they use it for a list of Bitcoin charities), so I think it ma be better to keep us as such a resource, and just rework how we list things. Maybe a separate page for charities we have contacted or are considering, and a main page that lists all charities that accept Bitcoin, with the ones we sponsored having some big emblem, like "Bitcoin100 Approved and Funded" on a big brown-orange badge instead of the 100% text, with a link to the TX when you click on it.

Any estimates on possible pricing? BFL is coming out with a rather impressive chalenger, though it will be rather pricey...

But this is just the law of karma.  All negativity you output into the world comes around back to you.

Karma is just a law. And you know what they say about rules, right?  Wink I have first hand experience of breaking the law of karma. So  Tongue
1131  Bitcoin / Meetups / Re: North American Bitcoin Conference - Miami Beach - Jan 25 & 26th, 2014 on: January 29, 2014, 05:20:43 PM
Is there no video from the conference?

According to Moe (the guy running it), videos were recorded for each day as single 12 hour blocks. They will need to be split up before they get uploaded.
1132  Bitcoin / Meetups / Re: North American Bitcoin Conference - Miami Beach - Jan 25 & 26th, 2014 on: January 29, 2014, 05:35:13 AM
This was definitely one of the best conferences I've been to. Excellent atmosphere, and a nice mix of entrepreneurs, developers, and business types, without too much emphasis on just business marketing. The parties were great, too, though my throat is still sore from all the screaming over the noise. Can't wait for the next one! Where will you take us to this time Moe?
1133  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet on: January 29, 2014, 03:32:00 AM
I am very pleased to announce that Rassah has joined the Mycelium team as our Community Manager!

What? Since when? Where am I? What's going on? Wow, I must have REALLY partied hard at the Miami Conference  Grin

Quote
One of Rassah's main tasks will be to guide Andreas and I to create an even better Bitcoin software based on community feedback (and common sense Grin)

I didn't see anything about "common sense" in the contract. I reserve the right to use such a thing very sparingly.

Bring on the hoards of questioning newbies and scathing trolls, for I am ready to battle!!!
1134  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits on: January 29, 2014, 02:47:23 AM
He, I'm back from Miami! Was quite busy there, and am still somewhat exhausted from my "vacation." One of the two most interesting things I've found out at the convention is that there are TWO David Baileys out there, one from Alabama, USA, and the other from England; both are bitcoiners. Anyway, back to work.

First, some thanks:

We're running a BeWelcome.org fundraiser of 3000 euro and your donation has been a great head start!

As the vice treasurer of the organization: Thank you very much!
Kasper Souren

Then some more requests

Quote
From: Seth

Greetings

My name is Seth, I've found a ytube video from Freedomain Radio naming Bitcoin100.org
I am the webmaster of a soon-to-be registered charity organization: www.brotherlyhands.com
Stan is the president, can be reached at: info@brotherlyhands.com
and I already mentioned Bitcoin100 prior to this email.
What are the specific requirements to qualify for this contribution?
I am setting up a non-profit myself, that will become an artistic/cultural hub.
Looking forward to your reply

Seth

I'll reply with the usual spiel. I guess for now check whether they qualify.


I also got the following:
Quote
My name is Renee and I run a non-profit in in Vancouver, Canada called PeaceGeeks. We have actually been accepting BitCoin donations for about a year, but we were wondering if we might still qualify for your contributions. I believe your goal is to spread awareness and the legitimacy of BitCoin as a means of contributing, so in this sense, adding another organization to your list would advance your cause while being a big help to us. Kindly advise when you have a moment! All the best for now!

They are not qualified, since they have been receiving bitcoin for a while, but they were wondering if we could add their site to our list. They asked if they could at least get listed on our site as a list of charities that accept bitcoin, since apparently our list is used as a source of places to donate to. I think we can accommodate them. Edd, can you add peacegeeks.org as a charity, with a note reading "disqualified: already accepting" to our site? When I have time, I'll have to go through the list and fix up the status messages a bit, since many of the charities on our list don't accept btc, and apparently don't plan to.

From: Felipe L

Hey Dmitry,

I just found your website was was very excited to see your awesome offer to NPOs. I’m the Technical Director of a nonprofit called Nar-Anon (www.nar-anon.org) and since I personally am a huge advocate of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, I added the ability to donate to the organization using Bitcoin on our webstore.

I’m the only person in the organization that even knows what Bitcoin is. The Organization Director kind of smiled and nodded when I asked about implementing it, but I want to show her that it’s a great thing for us to accept it early on.

Thanks so much and I hope to hear from you soon!

The above is actually a summary of two e-mails (first and second paragraph were separate), and after the first e-mail I mentioned that Bitcoin100 doesn't really reward bitcoiners for being fans of bitcoin, but after the second, I'm not entirely sure how to go on this one, since he's not the owner of the charity. Comments/feedback?


1136  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits on: January 24, 2014, 05:19:08 AM
Gulp! Looks like we may have to reconsider, Rassah, given the following (of which the post was never edited):

Hello Bitcoiners!

I know there is a specific Forum for the bitcoin100 topic, but I am very new and to be honest I just didn´t understand how I could post in that forum. This is why I am posting right here, and I really hope that someone is going to help me Wink
...

Well hot damn. I feel pretty stupid about this one, too, since I vaguely remember reading that post. I say we chuck this one up to a language barrier (entirely our fault, because our German SUCKS!) and the donation is on it's way: https://blockchain.info/tx/d0567d0c67c0c0fe6bcd105d654d0f6e4e956413e5da3656ca4473321b2fe909

Curious: can these wallets have any image carved onto them, and would the artist mind carving on something that is copyrighted?

Yes (just about), and no, albeit it should be yes, and you shouldn't be asking such.  Roll Eyes

Just FYI, I was going to inquire about ording 4 of them with Sonic characters on them, but got too distracted and lost track of this thread. Oh well. Still thinking what I could possibly sell later. Alas, coming from a family situation similar to the OP's and Phinn's (family came to this county when I was 10, with only $300 to our name), I don't have a lot of valuables or heirlooms in my posession. If you don't count my Sonic the Hedgehog collection, likely worth tens of thousands of dollars... Tongue

I hope that is not true.

You can't fight nuclear bombs with nuclear bombs, just doesn't work.

You can, however, fight it with peace.

The question is, do you believe a nuclear bomb IS a nuclear bomb? 

Oh god, not that! >.<
