I been trying to talk to them, but the response is sporadic.

If anybody is in Germany and is willing to represent bitcoin, we might have a chance.

We're targeting charities and businesses - asking them to accept Bitcoin donations / payments - at http://BitcoinPromote.com

Someone said, "One charity at a time."

Why?  No way. 

We can email 100 at a time.   Each of us can email the entire LIST of organizations, until they finally concede and begin accepting Bitcoin (even if just to get us off their back! Smiley  )

Please give me the names of a dozen more organizations you'd like to see accept Bitcoin...

I am perhaps more afraid of promoting bitcoin and looking like a spammer more than you are.


But indeed, there's a purpose to my statement "One charity at a time". I want to raise a good amount of money for the charity that the bitcoin community donate to.

I think that's a good point. There's not much point signing up all the charities if no-one donates to them. It's more important to have successful bitcoin donees than to have lots of them.

Because I should practice what I preach, I've just sent another 10 BTC to the EFF, and I will try to remember to keep donating regularly.

I have been doing the same thing!   I think that this is an important point...  It's so EASY to donate with Bitcoin...  And we love to promote Bitcoin...  These charities (if they are worthy) will get many more donations... on an ongoing basis... once they sign up for Bitcoin.

Example:  

  • I had never donated to EFF before.... although I had been meaning to for a long long time.  Now I have donated about 4 times recently!
  • I had never donated to Epic Change before.... although I had been meaning to for a long long time.  Now I have donated about 3 times recently!
  • I had never donated to Linux Mint before.... although I had been meaning to for a long long time.  Now I have donated for the first time, just today!

I'm telling you...  those of us in the Bitcoin community, who can afford to throw a few coins around, will be very generous with good causes.   I'm not worried about that.

We just need to get more organizations to sign up to RECEIVE our gifts.

We ARE getting them to sign up..... one by one.     Several have signed up, just because of me personally contacting them!

Who else should I add to the http://bitcoinpromote.com list to target?

Any German speaker here?

I figure I might have better response if a German speaker write in German to the organization at vorstand@ccc.de.

I guess none of us Germans here in the forum are CCC-related.

Maybe we need some official representants for these jobs.

I seen no Germans here try to contact the CCC.

How about the Ludwig von Mises Institute (mises.org)?  I'm going to be there in a couple of weeks, so perhaps I can talk to them in person about this.

Sehr geehrte Chaoten,

die Bitcoin Community begrüsst Eure Bemühungen zum Schutz der elektronischen Freiheit.
Ihr helft mit, das Internet von Zensur und unnötiger Intervention freizuhalten.
Wir wissen das sehr zu schätzen und möchten Euch daher unterstützen.

Bitcoin < http://www.bitcoin.org > ist ein junges, quelloffenes Peer-to-Peer Krypto-Währungssystem. Es ist unter der MIT Lizenz verfügbar.

Das Bitcoin-Netzwerk ist auch ohne zentrale Institution in der Lage, sicher zu stellen, dass ein Benutzer nur die Bitcoins versenden kann die er auch tatsächlich besitzt. Niemand ist in der Lage, Konten zu sperren, Guthaben einzufrieren, Zahlungen zu verhindern, oder einfach rückgängig zu machen. Transaktionen können weltweit ohne größere Verzögerung stattfinden und sind in der Regel kostenfrei.

Erfunden wurde das System von Satoshi Nakamoto und mittlerweile wird es von zahlreichen Unternehmen und Einzelpersonen rund um den Globus aktiv verwendet, tendenz steigend. Man kann Bitcoins bereits gegen den US-Dollar, Euro, Yen, oder den Rubel eintauschen -- oder sie erwerben.

Wir haben erst kürzlich einige hundert Bitcoins (BTC) an die EFF gespendet.
Jetzt haben wir vor, auch Euch Bitcoins zu spenden, zu diesem Zweck haben wir schon eine kleine Sammlung gestartet.

Wir sind uns sicher, dass Euch viele weitere individuelle Spenden erreichen werden, wenn Ihr Euch einfach eine eigene Bitcoin-Adresse erstellt und Euren Besuchern mitteilt, dass von Euch Spenden in Form von Bitcoins akzeptiert werden.
Ein dezentrales, pseudo-nymes System zur Übertragung von Spenden schützt außerdem die Privatsphäre der Spender und garantiert, dass das Geld, unabhängig von den Interessen eines Bezahlsystem-Betreibers, da ankommt, wo es gebraucht wird, undzwar vollständig.

Damit unsere gesammelten Spenden (bereits über 600BTC) genau da ankommen, wo sie hin sollen, nämlich bei Euch,
bräuchten wir nurnoch Eure Bitcoin-Addresse.
Eine aktive Teilnahme am P2P-Netzwerk ist zum erstellen einer solchen Addresse zwar nicht zwingend erforderlich, man kann dies auch über verfügbare Webservices machen, aber Ihr seit ja nicht umsonst der CCC, also testet am besten selbst und macht Euch schlau, der Quellcode ist offen.

Solltet Ihr Fragen, oder Probleme haben, steht Euch die gesamte (meist englisch-sprachige) Bitcoin Gemeinschaft jederzeit mit Rat und Tat
im Forum < http://bitcointalk.org >, oder im IRC channel #bitcoin-dev im FreeNode Netzwerk zur Seite.
Wir würden uns freuen, von Euch zu hören.

Und solltet Ihr Euch entscheiden, Bitcoin als Zahlungsmittel zu akzeptieren, was wir natürlich inständig hoffen,
teilt uns bitte umgehend Eure Bitcoin Addresse mit, damit wir die von uns für Euch gesammelten Bitcoins auch endlich loswerden können.

Wenn Ihr Euch jedoch, aus welchen Gründen auch immer, dagegen entscheidet, teilt uns auch das bitte umgehend mit,
damit wir den gesammelten Erlös an die Spender zurückgeben, oder damit andere Projekte unterstützen können.

Vielen Dank für Eure Aufmerksamkeit

Es grüßt herzlich
die Bitcoin Community


PS: eines unserer englisch-sprachigen Mitglieder hat vor einiger Zeit bereits versucht, Kontakt zu Euch aufzunehmen,
leider mit sehr 'sporadischer Resonanz', daher auf diesem Wege ein zweiter Versuch auf deutsch, wir hoffen, Ihr empfindet dies nicht als Spam.
