I want to donate to the Humane Society, however they don't accept Bitcoins. Is there a way for someone to prove that they paid for a human society donation? If they give like an email saying you donated x amount, etc. that could be donated using an email of mine?

Basically, I would pay you 3.5BTC, you would donate USD: $450 to the humane society. An easy way for you to acquire some bitcoins with, effectively, a credit card, and a good way for me to spend cryptos doing something good. Smiley

Is anyone interested in doing this..?? Cheesy

Looks simple enough.   Want me to go through with it.   I'll have to put my name on all the details though as I'm sure they need it to match the CC details.  But you want me to put your email address right?

EDIT:  Just realised that if I put your email address, they will send you a receipt with my CC, Name and Identify information on it, i.e. address etc.   I'll do this if I can use my own email address, black out my info and forward you the receipt.   Worst case you should be able to use the receipt to call them up and verify a donation was in fact made.

Oh, didn't think of it doing that.... Hmm...

I'll look into it a bit, I wonder if there is a donation 'gift' of sorts, like you gift a donation to someone type thing maybe? Or like donating in someone else's name? Hmm..

Ok, I think I got it. 

I can send you a virtual visa egift card that is like a digital visa card with a balance.   You can use that to donate directly.  See here for details. http://www.giftcards.com/virtual-gift-cards

Let me know if you want to give it a shot.

cheers.

Hey, that sounds like a good plan! Yeah, totally see your point about the receipt, personal details are,,,, well, personal xD

Anyhow, giftcard seems like a good idea, I'm gonna look into that one tomorrow, and I'll let you know if I want to go that route. Thanks!!

Call the humane society and see if they take walk in donations, and if they give a receipt. Just pay with cash...send a picture of The receipt..

Sure, if you'll pay my flight from Tokyo to the US I'd do that  Grin

xD Do they have a human society in Japan?

i'm not looking to buy btc at this time but here is what i could do

sell the 3.5 btc at coinbase which would currently bring in $455.71 - then donate using your email or however you would like it done to them


i would donate at least 450 as long as the amount it sells for covers that more if it covers more...



did something similar on a reddit btc charity drive once for i think it was $500

HSI international seems to take PayPal.  That would protect my CC details.   How about I donate to them, give u the recipt and u forward coins?   Might work.

That sounds good, are you happy working with John K for escrow?

still interested in donating ? i am on the donation page and can complete the donation in few minutes. i donate $450 , give you the donation tracking code - they provide one , also can make print screens with my member acc and donation amount or you can just call them and verify the donation with the tracking code. and yes i also accept escrow or i can just donate first and receive the bitcoins after you get the receipt and verify the donation status.

Here's the situation, as someone who kindly PM'd me and let me know, this, even with escrow, is a scammable item. I'm certainly not accusing any of you of being scammers, but the basic idea is that someone could pay for the donation with a stolen credit card, and since I'm not getting a physical item and only a receipt, then the chargeback can occur without me knowing (aka not receiving the item). So... anyone know of either (a) a way around this, or (b) a charity (of any sort at this point, my searches haven't found much) that accepts Bitcoins directly?


Edit: additionally, would a Hero/mod be interested in doing this donation?

i thought the idea was to give you the cash so you know for certain.

i am trying to help, i will do 450 for 3.5 greendot moneypak. i have plenty of trades under my belt, and mostly interested in the coin. but if necessary if you need me to do it then i will provide extensive proof of no foul play.

if i am even close to the mark, let me know. i can bend. i would love to make a mutually beneficial arrangement.

then just sell the btc and get a greendot card for example .... or get a greendot card and sell the btc for moneypack and load the moneypack on the card and ask for the moneypack receipt as well.

if you still need someone who can pay with his card i can do it for you and i accept escrow without problems .

If your so concerned just put your btc into an exchange and do a fiat withdrawal and wait for it to hit your bank account.  The humane society isnt going anywhere while you wait the 1 week.   Then you don't have to trust any of us bunch of scammers and your sorted.

i am not a scammer :/
