Article on why bitcoins need to succeed

https://www.diasporafoundation.org/donate  they have bitcoin listed on the diaspora foundation.

The Bitcoin Address of Diaspora is invalid.

Here it is:
1H63WEQBK45K3XGC7DRFPHMWMJMZHRX542

Seems to be all in UPPERCASE.

I wonder if they are using a smallcaps style. Since the page was not displaying properly in my browser, I came back with lynx: 1H63WEQbK45K3xgC7DRfphMWMJMZHrX542.

Keep it mature everyone, be nice and polite and honest if you will be using their services or not.  I really think if they grasp they could have more business possibly based on accepting this form of currency, it would be good.

We have a committment from them to accept bitcoins and I am talking to their accouting person to get this setup.  So anyone who emailed them, thank you.  I will post when they are up and running.  It would be nice if everyone that contacted them would make a small donation to stand behind the spam effort.  Thanks!

great one !!  just send them 10 btc


EDIT:  THEIR ADRESS DOESNT WORK !! WAIT UNTIL THEY FIX IT !

if you view the source, you can see that the uppercasing is simply being done by CSS... therefore you can see the original and (presumably) correct bitcoin address in their source code:

1H63WEQbK45K3xgC7DRfphMWMJMZHrX542

It would suck if they don't have access to that wallet anymore

Highlights two reasons we should use firstbits.

#1: it's case insensitive and shorter (1h63we), so this confusion wouldn't have happened

#2: it was easy for me to find the correct address (
1H63WEQbK45K3xgC7DRfphMWMJMZHrX542)
