As soon as blockchain.info is back up I'll be starting the donations with .25 BTC.

wow! You can just donate .25BTC like that!? I would donate but it took me 6 months to work up to the .2BTC I own!

I've seen that, but that is just for BTC. What about other cryptos?
How about you donate the BTC to Jimmy Wales but convert the other coins to USD and donate them to Wikipedia then?

If people are thinking of donating BTC to Wikipedia then at present it is a lot better for Bitcoin's profile if BTC is sent to Jimmy Wales rather than through a intermediary and then USD to Wikipedia.

Normally donating BTC to an individual with a promise they will do something with it would be a big no-no but in this instance I think Wales is well known enough and the addresses are fairly easy to track. Anyway the same issue applies when sending coins to you.

In that case why even bother converting to USD? I think I'll just convert to BTC and send to Jimmy.
Doh. Good point. Smiley

Wikipedia is an organ of the world government.

Very dishonest, grubby organisation.

What makes you say that?

Routinely covers for whitehouse scandals. They will never get my donation.

They back up fake historical events/false flags and fake terror events. They try to make out that nothing is credible unless it's covered by mass media, which is the biggest joke ever!

The idea is that you can control people's behaviour, if you control their perception of the past, and of human behaviour. Wales has that glazed look to him. He is an elitest who believes himself superior to normal people who just want to live their own lives. He sees us (the people in this forum) as sheep who deserve to be controlled as human resource units.
