Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund (.org, et al. registered to raise $1M USD)

Ain't this interesting? A 30 day challenge with the same timeframe as mine. I wonder which one will be reached first and, moreover, reach its intended goal.

Here's another 30 day challenge involving Bitcoin within the same exact time frame: http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/11/20/ross-ulbrichts-mother-calls-silk-road-allegations-absurd-launches-defense-fund/

On Wednesday, Ulbricht’s family and supporters launched a fundraising campaign with the target of a half million dollars in the next thirty days to support Ulbricht’s legal defense.

Wanted to add that another candidate is St. James The Greater COPA (Church of the Poor Apostolate) Foundation. Their website is http://www.stjames-copa.com but I don't think they update it often.

I go there every now and then, to the church, that is.

They are now, like everyone else, focusing on efforts to help the typhoon victims, accepting donations in cash and in kind. For monetary donations, they issue an official receipt. They also publish and make public what they do with any money they collect. They adopt poor parishes all over the country by paying for the construction of the physical church buildings there.

This might dilute my chances of getting my preferred candidate the relief funds, but if it's not going to me, at least it's going to someone who deserves it.

Because of the recent rise in BTC value, we only need to hit a thousand bitcoins now instead of 3000.

CMAB now has an official website.

http://www.cmab.mil.ph

It took awhile, had to go through a lot of red tape for it to be approved by senior military officers and the PH registrar.

I still need to upload stuff to it, but in the mean time it has our official address, and I'm the contact person.

Good luck with the effort! Sent a small donation over. https://blockchain.info/address/1THRF26KAsDDLh1JyWB5Hbm5mYgN6LwZt


First and biggest suggestion for the main site: When the send address is in ALLCAPS, it does not register as a valid address for me. Would recommend fixing that first, then fleshing out the rest of the content so it's easier to donate.

Due to me putting all my eggs in one basket--roww.org--at the 11th hour (one of the main reasons for attending the Las Vegas conference), my grandiose venable endeavor turned into a bust.

There were only three donations (linked above), of which the first one was mine. I think it's only fair to return the other two in FULL to the donors, one of which I quoted in this post, and the other is unknown at the moment. My donated amount will be donated to Dabs for his food program in the Philippines, oppose to Sean's Outpost of which I will continue to support. Dabs seems to be in better position to make sure funds are allocated accordingly.

I will now pen a PM to Barnacle_Ed, expressing my thanks and making sure that an active receiving bitcoin wallet address is made available so that I can have Rassah transfer back his bitcoins.

Would the other person who so kindly donated please PM me with proof that you are said individual so that you will also be refunded?

Once again, thank you, fellow bitcoiners, for all the support whether you donated or not.
