Next Hacker Charity Target

[S3052]

Waht could happen for sure is that some folks start writing about soccer and predict that Germany wins the next WorldCup (me included) :-)

I heard octopus Paul is retired, you're already looking for a replacement? Did you try Knut already?

Knut is a great idea, maybe he can eat fish covered in dressings depending on the other team's flags

which hacker/geek charity do you guys want to target next?

Wikipedia.

Once Wikipedia is accepting bitcoins, they can hardly deny that the article is encyclopedic.

Tie up all the smaller guys first like the FSF and CCC, then we can convince Wikimedia foundation to join the bandwagon.

I mean, say we want to convince a certain charity to accept bitcoins.

We start collecting donations inside our community, for instance using someone's reputation on this forum (we have to chose someone with huge reputation since we need to trust that this guy will actually use the money for the donation).

Once we collect a fairly huge amount, we convert it into national currency, make the donation, and add the following remark :  "this money was raised using bitcoins.  Please consider using it."

Of course, the tough part is to find someone who will collect bitcoins.  We need someone with a huge reputation.  Maybe Satoshi ?

Concerning the choice of the organisation, I suggest I2P or Freenet, for they are imo the most likely to accept using bitcoins.

Don't you remember? We have done all that with the EFF.

Maybe a bitcoin related site?

A bitcoin related site doesn't promote Bitcoin unless the site generate publicity for bitcoin.
