If an organization carries out fractional reserve banking, and denominates their accounts in bitcoin, that carries some risk for customers of that organization. But that doesn't in any way weaken bitcoin. It just means that the organizations accounts (or "banknotes") are not as good as real bitcoin.

on their website, they already say "Wir referenzieren Rheingold <=> Bitcoin im Verhältnis 1:1.", which means that it is pegged to the fixed ratio 1:1 (if my German is not wrong)
That doesn't look like an official Rheingold site though. Seems more like some guy selling them for a bitcoin each.

That's right. You can buy 1 Rheingold for 1 Bitcoin.

For advertisers and people who want to earn a few bitcoins with their site (publishers), there is now Operation Fabulous: http://www.operationfabulous.com/The advertising works by bidding for BTC per minute display, instead of BTC per click. Comparable to the way Project Wonderful works.

Comparable to the way Project Wonderful works. My registration led to a server error page, twice. Also, "to much" should be "too much" it's in there twice. And "Start publishing ads" isn't nearly as exciting as "Start earning bitcoin!" that's why people with ad space are there

Wrong. It's hourly not per click.

Wrong. It's hourly not per click. You mean Project Wonderful about the hourly I guess. Yeah, that's what I meant to say, just wrote it down in a non-clear way.

Telecomix News Agency / WeRebuid is a internet cluster. It's fairly hard to describe but there is some text on http://telecomix.org/ that might help for those that doesn't already know it! The easiest way to be a part of it is over IRC. #telekompaketet@irc.telecomix.org (port 6667, 6697/9999 for ssl), irc.telecomix.i2p over I2P, or http://chat.telecomix.org/. Telecomix has been accepting bitcoins for donations (mostly for server hosting) since July 2010. http://werebuild.eu/wiki/Donations. Might be something to add to http://www.bitcoin.org/trade? :)

Seconded. External link directories are welcome. Valam, if you want to make btcmart.com more inviting, you should translate the page title "Дocквa бecплaтныx oбъявлeний".

Your friendly neighborhood radical tech collective, Riseup Networks ( https://riseup.net) now accepts bitcoins for donation (1KhKTL2bp4PwtAsvzHbpcS1TKvubQ3P6sq). There is no mention of Bitcoin on your donate page. A lot of people around here require that since just about anyone can register on the forum and provide some Bitcoin address which may or may not be tied to the organization in question. Its on the draft donate page, which hasn't been released yet: https://kelp.riseup.net/en/donate#how-to-donate-anonymously -- when it has been finished it will be on the real donate page.

Population control was the one that shocked me. Apparently people aren't supposed to use Rise Up to spread information on contraception?
No. The background here is that there are some environmental groups who espouse the line that the only way to fix the environment is through population control. Typically this is referring to the global south, and is highly problematic for privileged global north environmentalists to suggest that this is the way to fix the environment. basically, riseup is not interested in supporting environmentalists in the global north who are obsessed with population control, especially when there are no environmental group in the global south thinks that population, in and of itself, is a problem. when white environmentalists talk about population they are usually talking about people of color in poor agrarian countries. The narrative is that these people are too stupid to know better than to not have kids. Does that mean that discussion of contraception, family planning, abortion, or the ecological costs of human overpopulation is not allowed using a riseup account? No. In fact, when we look at resource usage, pollution produced and other impacts on the environment; the countries of the global north have a hugely disproportionate negative impact on the global environment. In fact, in an agrarian setting where the family is always the primary economic unit, it makes perfect sense to have very large families, as people did in this country when more people worked in agriculture. There is a very sick history of tons of money being funneled into poor countries for forced sterilization, birth control experiments in exchange for "health care", and the granting of food aid on the condition of a vasectomy or tubal ligation. All this has been done in the name of saving the environment. This traditional approach is so obviously racist that the environmentalists have changed their tactic: now they talk about 'footprint' and consumption. they say we need to restrict immigration to the US because those immigrants will start consuming like Americans, and that is not sustainable. Then again, this new tactic is not really any less obviously racist, yet somehow this is an unbelievably common argument. So, contraception, abortion, family planning, reproductive choices? All great, Riseup is for that. yes, there is an ecological cost of overpopulation (although there is a political science argument about carrying capacity and overpopulation being a myth), but when it is used by northern environmentalists to subjugate people from the south, we find that a little despicable.
