What if Bitcointalk.org started a pool to donate money to Sea Shepherd so they can buy a new ship (or rename an existing ship thus) and name it Satoshi Nakamoto. If it is shown on Whale Wars that would be a great way to advertise Bitcoin. And it would help to save the whales and stuff.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Start a Bitcoin crowdfunding campaign around it so he can buy a new ship. I agree would be a good marketing tool for Bitcoin and naming the ship Satoshi Nakamoto would be amazing!

Better off to call the ship Bitcoin.  Satoshi Nakamoto is a psuedonym and a name that most of the populous will not equate with Bitcoin.

Ah but the rivals of Sea Shepherd are Japanese whalers. It might irk them somewhat to see a ship with a pseudo Japanese name. Tongue

A ship named Satoshi Nakamoto would be a great idea.

A ship named "Bitcoin" would be a terrible idea. Too gimmicky. Not everything has to be blatantly obvious.

I would pledge to this pool. I have already been donating regularly to Sea Shepherd ever since I found out they accepted Bitcoin donations.

Ask them if we can get their address to 2000 BTC if they'll do it Smiley

This would provide some pretty amazing publicity. Ask them how much they need for a 2nd ship and lets make it happen.

It would be a terrible idea.

Nobody outside Japan would care, whereas in Japan it would turn what should be a positive here (Bitcoin was made by a Japanese person, possibly!) into a big negative.

It's not unanimous, but Japanese people generally aren't impressed with people from other countries that are involved in all kinds of cruelty to animals and environmental destruction fixating on the one industry that Japan has and they don't and trying to shut it down.

That's a great idea - but they'll need a lot more than the <1 BTC they've received so far!
