I would vote for the donation to be used to encourage nonprofits to accept bitcoin donations. I can think of at least one local one that could be convinced to put a prominent bitcoin donation button on their web page in exchange for a piece of 1000 BTC.
Just my 0.00000002 BTC

+1 BFL can use this bad publicity to further the bitcoin community.

Well Inaba claims they aren't shipping yet. So they lose numerous bets. "I want to clarify the above post, as there is some potential confusion. We are not shipping yet. We plan on shipping possibly by the end of next week, but I will update on a shipping schedule as soon as I have more definitive information with regards to that." https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/692-bfl-asic-status-3.html#post21092

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers

The greatest act of charity could do is donate those 1000 BTC their poor defrauded customers ...

Wait a minute! He didn't honor the seppuku....scammer tag earned! It's his honor at stake, so that means it's seppuku or the scammer tag. Mods? Please weigh in on this!

I'm surprised how civil the majority of BFL preorder folks are. Just knowing that if they bought BTC instead, or if the orders came even a few months late, how much money they would have made.
I guess if I had money in than I'd really want to believe that the units were always just around the corner. But from my outsider perspective, I can't believe how long people have been strung along with this perpetual 'we are going to ship 2 weeks from now' since, honestly, how many months? 6 ?
The latest April Fools no-joke "shipping" joke would be it.
At least to BFL's credit they are honoring refunds and seem to process these fairly quickly, so there is that.

Charity is the stripper name of the girls at the CO's favorite strip club. Probably almost at 1000btc already.

That may be true, but then we can be happy because the money were then given to someone poor! right? Or do strippers make good money in the US?

Any new information on this topic? Did any charity already receive the 1000 BTC donation?
If they do not ship my product or pay my refund, they should at least make this charity donation!

Doesn't matter. The donation was not promised in USD so it's 1000 BTC no matter what the rate is.
I want to see a charity announcing "thank you for the 1000 BTC donation" and not weasel words from BFL!

BFL is in the unique position of getting an NPO to embed a Bitcoin donation onto their website as a simple term in accepting the soon to be quarter million dollar donation. Surely they're not thinking about photoshopping some document proving that $X was sent to Charity Y, otherwise... Me: Hello, Charity Y. CY: How can we help you today? Me: I donated money to BFL in your name and they said that they sent you $X (1,000 BTC). Did you receive... Why are you laughing? CY: Sorry, but the check they sent us bounced like a rubber chicken. They did give us a voucher... Why are you laughing? Me: Was the voucher for 25% off the future order of chicken feed... Why are you laughing? CY: No! It was for some sort of their out-of-stock money mining machine manufactured by some guy who used to be in the lottery business and the son of some guy who once ran for governor of Nevada. I think I peed my pants.

Any new on the BFL charity donation? No BFL, I don't forget that you have promised to pay 1000 BTC to a charity.
