This was an attempt at debugging something that turned into a full fledged project.

Have you ever wanted to buy a product by donating to one of your favorite charities? Well now you can. Our selection of products is limited at the moment, but will expand if people wish to donate their products.

Both the content creators and myself take no cut from this. It's simply a reward for donating to a charity.

Also, since all transactions are processed by the Blockchain.info API, it's completely transparent (you can follow the coins to their destination), and even the transaction fees are covered.

Please message me if you have any problems, or if you'd like to donate your work.

You may also submit a response here to submit your work:
https://caffeinewriter.typeform.com/to/IAcVZJ

Currently the only products are an ebook on arbitrage trading, and an album by an artist I know. No refunds will be given, as the site holds no BTC.

The prices specified are only a minimum. If you send more, it will be forwarded right along to charity.

Please note, due to the Blockchain.info API, it will take 1 confirmation for your order to complete.

It's a great idea. Now the only thing's left is more sellers offering things for sale, and buyers.
Actually it'd be easy to sell your project to merchants - there are lots of businesses which want extra advertising, and this might be a great way.
And it might not be obvious - but sellers are actually donating themselves as well.

Yep. I just need to convince some people. I'm sure I could find some people who are interested. It does put some people off that they don't receive anything monetary from this, but the publicity, plus the good karma should at least be a draw for some people. I'll keep this thread updated as I add new products.
