Has anyone seen the Google Donation Popup thing?

[manselr]

I was going to search something on Google and this thing at the top appeared (like the blue bar that asks you about accept cookies). A grey bar appeared. It's basically a donation thing for the Syria crisis. They have already donated 2 million dollars out of 10 million goal. I instantly thought about Bitcoin. Could we do a donation thing for this too? If the Bitcoin community surpassed 10 million dollars, the headlines would be great, and we do need positive headlines. We need the average Joe to know that Bitcoin can be used for good things too, this may be a great opportunity to shine.

Already saw it and thought immediately "too bad they don't accept Bitcoin"

There's already an organization accepting Bitcoin for this cause.

Altough this is not the main goal of this thread, is there something other than their word that guarantees that they don't track us in any way whatsoever?

Can you post link where I can donate bitcoins to that organization?

This donation think is a great way to increase public bitcoin awareness, we - as bitcoin community need it badly.
But we need also some centralized company/organization to be in charge of the money from donations.

Are you insane ? Since when do we want to support terrorists ?
Every money that goes to Syrians is wasted, i guarantee you that. Just come to countries that Syrian refugee's immigrants are in or are passing, and you will see their true nature.
There are riots and mini'wars that they started from Macedonia to France. They're starting riots in europe but they didn't have balls to fight in their homeland.

Please stop wasting money thinking you are doing the right thing. You're NOT.

Trying to find it... Saw it on a user's sig around here actually. I'll post if I end up finding it.

I don't think the bitcointalk community is that generous. A 10M$ goal would be unrealistic.
As for people seeing this as an opportunity to raise Bitcoin's popularity, I doubt it will have any effect even if the campaign is very successful.

well is hard to donate soo many bitcoins to help a third person,and about the impact that would have into bitcoin community would be zero,why most people dont know what it is and wont use or get interested because some people donated money as bitcoin.Atleast this is my opinion atleast donating with bitcoin wont affect bitcoin.

Since Google does not run the charities, and the private charities are on their own when it comes to fulfilling their humanitarian goals, I don't feel like private charities would be interested in bitcoin donations. They potentially could be missing out on a lot of money, true, but they would also be responsible for converting the bitcoin to fiat, in order to use any of it. That requires fees (however small), waiting periods and/or corporate agreements if using coinbase or the like, or small volume if selling locally, which charities would likely not like to get involved with.

But that's just why I think it isn't happening as of now, feel free to correct me.

That's a good idea.  Currently BTCpop is donating 10% of their fees to a children's refugee charity for the month of September and also collecting donations.  So far over 33 BTC have been raised.  https://btcpop.co/Home/1748/Bitcointalk

Idea to donate refugees with btc  is very good.Maybe Changethetip will start something like that

Even google being soo big at is it several people dont trust on those campaigns.. they can hide and control soo better donate directly to who can help.

I saw that message about donation while I was using a vpn but it did not appear in my local google site
So I think they do not expect any donations from the third world countries
