I think we need to step up on the speed with which we contact organizations. The answer-rate seems to be fairly low. This project needs one success to get going again, we're in stale mode right now.
I fully agree. I keep checking for responses every day. Nothing so far out of 6 Orgs. Two things I'd like to see us do. One is to further add to the list of charities so we have as many as possible. ANother will be for me to send out to maybe 10+ of them this next go. Another option will be to go the postal mail route I first had in mind. The charity list thread can be found here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55398.0cheers, Derek I sure hope someone asks me to do something with it soon... ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) Sure, you can send it here: 1NgLdhjHfLbcVawMk4DNEv8yf9ZzzNJV6U That was easy, right? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Sent. Glad I don't have to worry about it any more. LMAO, send a few my way. I promise to only spend them on children in need. Namely, mine. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system. - GA
It is being worked on by smart people. -DamienBlack

Great job, Rassah! (now that the wallet's empty, we can start all over again )I've been working on the website, bitcoin100.org. Derek, send out 10 emails. Select from the list below. Simply keep track of what you've sent, so that you don't double send. No need to reply here stating which ones you've sent to. Just do it. Consider this the official thread for posting your choices as to which nonprofit charitable organizations shall be reached out to in having them embed a Bitcoin donation option onto their respective websites. I've listed the first ten, offered up by one of the users, to get your creative juices flowing. As suggestions pour in, I'll simply add them to the list. During the course of this action, I may periodically rearrange the list as well as add notes after their names. Keep the suggestions flowing!

Just a quick note to thank Kluge for supporting Bitcoin 100. Take a look at #200 to see what he has so kindly pledge. Feel free to follow the link from there if you happen to need a Bitcoin loan.

I would like to present the idea that Bitcoin100 place an ad in Matthews’s new magazine soliciting charities to take Bitcoin donations and explaining what we are. I don’t see that we have had a lot of success writing individualized letters. His magazine concept has, at least, as much potential to spread the word as the charity donation idea. Even if a charity decision maker does not read the magazine we have used some of the funds to support an idea which is bringing Bitcoin to the masses. I think that was one of the reasons to start Bitcoin100 in the first place. What do you think?
I think it's a good idea but a new, seperate address/account should be created to raise funds for it.

Size 2 pages 1 page 1/2 page 1/3 page 1/4 page Inside cover $1000 USD $500 USD x x x Centerfold $300 USD x x x x Back cover x $350 USD x x x Article bridge $250 USD $135 USD $75 USD $50 USD $30 USD I assume we would be in the 1/2, 1/3 or 1/4 page category. Once we get the content figured out then maybe Matthew would thow in the design - since it is for charity and all. But, what are we advertising again? Do we have a web site URL/QR that we can put in the ad (not this thread - please!)?

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

Pressed to make the next issue we would need to move quickly to create a web site URL/QR, logo, ad copy........ Phinnaeus has mentioned that he's working on a website but I don't know how far along he's gotten. I can help with ad copy if someone else comes up with a logo.

I noticed you guys are struggling with a design so I put some time into a logo. Use it or don't. My contribution just the same. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FCJGjZ.png&t=665&c=9Pzw7CXRynbU6A)

No, definitely not. I like the first one better.
I was trolling with the last graphic of course. That thing is hideous. Are you volunteering to help us create an ad for your magazine (I hope)?
I can't give any special rates as Bitcoin 100 is not a legally registered non-profit organization with a history etc, but I can do the design work for the advertisement for your guys (I'm also a Bitcoin 100 contributor!)

Putting all my efforts into the magazine at the moment. If you guys for for an advertisement in the magazine though, I'll gladly do a design for you for the first issue.

Putting all my efforts into the magazine at the moment. If you guys for for an advertisement in the magazine though, I'll gladly do a design for you for the first issue. Great, let's see what Bruno thinks and if everyone agrees with the ad idea then we can turn design over to you. Now I have to think. I was told that there's no thinking on this BBS. Wait! That was no math, of which I've learnt that ain't true either. Ad idea = good. Already PM'ing "The Matt" about this and offered to pay for it out of my pocket. He'll help with the minor design issues. About the logo. Thanks for taking the incentive. First off, hate to spring this on you all, but consider wording the name Bitcoin 100 as two words oppose to just one. That said, I liked the orange logo until I saw the Bitcoin logo with the hands. I'm leaning toward that with some slight modifications of which I'll get to in another post. I'll use this post to take care of some house cleaning. I would like to present the idea that Bitcoin100 place an ad in Matthews’s new magazine soliciting charities to take Bitcoin donations and explaining what we are. I don’t see that we have had a lot of success writing individualized letters. His magazine concept has, at least, as much potential to spread the word as the charity donation idea. Even if a charity decision maker does not read the magazine we have used some of the funds to support an idea which is bringing Bitcoin to the masses. I think that was one of the reasons to start Bitcoin100 in the first place. What do you think?
I think it's a good idea but a new, seperate address/account should be created to raise funds for it. No need for a new account. I'll simply pay for it as outlined above. Not as much house cleaning as I thought. Logo: I'm leaning on using the orange one as the header on the website bitcoin.org, albeit a different tag line. At the moment, I'm using "Where Every Bit Counts" but even that doesn't have to be written in stone. As far as what Matthew suggested, there's some strength there after it gets it fine-tuned. I like the circle, the B, the hands (suggested they look odd, and my suggestion may come to color--was thinking about white, black, yellow, red, and we all know why). Again, that tag isn't right, though different. I'm thinking that if we had this logo with or without words, I would use just the logo part (no words) in the slide rotation on the home page of Bitcoin 100. ~Bruno~
