Money Drop For The Homeless

[Glucose]

And if it doesn't take place, you reimburse everyone ? People who sent from online wallets other than blockchain will be hard to reimburse !

Ideally I would like to donate the funds to another charity, as without signed messages or reimbursing the sending address it would be opening the door to nickel and dime scammers.

You can keep my small donation for another charity in case the project doesn't take place I think it's a good alternative.

Please send the 0.188 to:

Your donation to the less fortunate has been refunded.  My apologies for the delay.

If anyone else would like to remove their BTC from the mouths of the homeless, let me know with a signed message and I will be happy to oblige.

wtf getting a refund for a donation so sad

I would be totally fine with that, and I'm hoping that many others should as well...

You can keep my $1 and save it for the next project of yours. Feels bad that the Money drop is not gonna happen

Personally, I think it's a disgrace. You're basically taking money out of the homeless mouths as the op said. Shame on you

Thank you. The worst thing that will happen with the money is that it gets donated to the homeless without a cool video. Maybe someone will donate enough to make the video worthwhile or the Bitcoin rate will go up enough to where we can make it happen with the funds raised. I am glad that some people donated and I hope that spirit is not lost on the current situation.

I wouldn't support this not because I'm against giving money to the homeless and supporting them to get off the streets but if you give directly there's a very high chance that money will end up funding drugs/alcohol. If you want to donate money to support homeless people then I'd recommend giving it through the more formalised and proper channels which is more likely to help the homeless people.

This is the problem you face. Rather use the money to buy items /food yourself and get the drones to deliver it to them. Not drop it over them.

I like this idea.

At worst this sounds like an awful scam. At best this is terribly insensitive way to help the homeless.

How arrogant of you to drop money from the sky over homeless people or poor areas. You don't have any respect for those you help.

Did you even watch this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4JBAdIdBtM

It looks like this effort has pretty much died.  The MrDove team has stated they have given up on a community funded charity drop and are going forward with their own private effort.  They urged me to find a public Bitcoin charity to donate these coins to.

Anyone have a good charity suggestion?

I'd be ok with you donating my money there - but honestly, you could also just give my $5 (I believe) to help fund their "private" efforts.  Either one is fine by me.

I agree.

Or maybe to Rand Paul's presidential campaign?

I'd like to stick with the theme of helping the homeless if possible.  I could send it to the MrDove team to help with their private efforts, but I don't like the lack of transparency there.  Anyone know of any Bitcoin accepting established food banks?

Since there were no other suggestions, I have donated the entirety of the BTC held in escrow to the Austin Food Bank.  Thanks to those who tried to make this a success.  It is possible something like this may be tried again in the future, but for now I'm bringing this to a close (I don't want to hold the escrow funds forever).
