You personally may choose not to talk about it here, but I am in the off-topic forum and I don't believe I'm violating any sort of rule here. So, please take your criticism of what I'm trying to do for my family somewhere else.
Read the rules. Begging is not allowed.
There's also a very good chance you are a scammer. You learn your father is dying and you come to a forum for a cryptocurrency that is non reversible?
You then show a complete lack of respect for a member that has been an outstanding part of the community for years. Look at his post count and the color of his ignore tag. Compare that to
your post count and how involved with Bitcoins you have been.
Off to report this topic for begging. I suggest others do the same. The trash is where this belongs.
I didn't even know that begging was not allowed. Also, I have never, nor ever will, report a single person via the option available. Not dissing those that do--just stating that I don't or won't, unless something ultra nefarious needs address like a suicide attempt, etc. Same true for people a person on ignore.
What I want to point out is that any person can start an account today, and in less than a month post a similar donation request, regardless if a member of their family is in dire straits or not.
Facebook was just an example, with a myriad other avenues available to garner funds from, yet you came here using your dying dad to hopefully get some bitcoins, of which now you'll probably won't get very many.
But you had another option available, one you opted to not explore. You could have came here adding value to the forum and nonchalantly mention your dad's ill health, going into ever so slight details of what's happening. If, or when, pushed came to shove, you could have offered up some small service or product you're verse in for exchange of some bitcoins so that you'll have some funds to travel to see you dad.
It's a shame that there have been so many scams taking on the looks of your unfortunate episode that people have become hyper-critical when possibly a real event, like yours, is presented. My apologies if that's the case, but the reality of the matter is you probably won't get much help here, even though overall this is a very giving community.
