Yep, contacted GeoHot and the FSF. I have a huge contact list and have known a lot of people with leverage. I also plan to introduce Bitcoin to a really good hacker that even you would recognize. He specializes in security, though.  Getting Geohot to accept donations should be easy and would be huge right now considering the Sony press and how they got access to his Paypal records which they couldn't do with btc. |

Indeed, and the FSF is running the Defective By Design campaign supporting GeoHot and informing the masses of the evil DRM.  |

I'm contacting econstories.tv, the group that made the Keynes/Hayek rap video. Would love to have them as supporters of bitcoin!

I personally would love to get DOSBox to accept BTC. I wrote them a few months ago, but they were not interested. :/
Great idea! I've started this thread which will hopefully help. Speaking of which, I'll try to get GOG on board. |

Does the EFA count? (electronic frontiers australia) who I contacted awhile ago and I think are wanting to setup a bitcoin donate address.

Anyone able to help me with SEO? I don't know a hell of a lot about it and I haven't really bothered much. Everything I sell is local to Chile and no one searches for products to buy online much. Everyone that uses my site is from word of mouth or gets linked to it. With that being said I'd still really like to get my page rank up. I'm going to start accepting BTC soon but I need to get this page rank up. |

Buy ad spaces and include meta-descriptions to images and pages. Clean up and make everything as clean and good looking as possible. |

On second thought, Cafepress is such a stretch that I'll leave it to someone else. I really don't know what to write to them.
Sent my letter to Thinkgeek, though, emphasizing the geek cred they'll get for announcing that they accept bitcoin. Let's see what comes out of it.

If anyone wants to join me in rewarding feel free - the more BTC offered the more people will hopefully move their arses.
I pledge 1 BTC for each online shop, and between 0.1 and 1 BTC for donations (depending on the field and size of the organization, for exaple: small open source developer: 0.1, big non-profit: 1). I pledge upto 10 BTC in total. |

Mahkul, I think you misunderstood cw's pledge, which is:
1 BTC per shop
0.1 to 1 BTC per organization
No more than 10 BTC for all shops and organizations combined

Thanks for pointing that out. Corrected. |

I’ve just recieved an answer from getdigital.de: http://paste.pocoo.org/raw/357150/They would very much like to use Bitcoin, but they have little time for this atm, although they state that they are going to eventually. Also, a question that came up is what the best way to convert BTC to EUR would be… Can you send EUR to MtGox and they convert it? Your thoughts on how I should respond? |

Yep. Can you even send USD to normal European bank accounts? I don’t think they’d like complicated workarounds.
Maybe there’s a better alternative to MtGox for EUR? I haven’t really checked all possibilities.

Yeah it shouldn't be a problem at all to transfer USD to a normal European account. I'm not 100% sure on that but I do transfers from the US to Latin America a lot and they take my USD and convert it. Obviously you're going to lose more than if you went direct from BTC to Euro. |
