Instead of throwing them away, wouldn't it possibly be better to have them sent to an address which goes to starving kids in africa or something? Roll Eyes

You might want to explore a bit on the subject on funding african poverty problems, long story short, many of the funds go into private pockets and not to those in need.
Like i allready said, its better to just use the money to promote further development of the idea.

cheers

Yes I'm aware of this. Probabably only around 5-10% actually go to funding and 90%-95%, as you say, into the pockets of some self-indulgent baller.

Which is part of why I think bitcoin is so revolutionazing. You can see where the money, that is donated, goes to.

Distributing the value to current BTC holders is not throwing it away.

Well, I guess you can look at it that way but it won't make a big difference

I might get 0.005% richer out of your project so I guess I can't complain Grin still I think it's silly to just carelessly throw it away just because the game rules says so..

You're NOT THROWING IT AWAY. The true measure of love is how much you are willing to sacrifice. You are communicating. It may be expensive but it's still cheaper than, say, skywriting.

What have starving africans ever done for us?

Look inside yourself, and you will see that you are the bubble.

Not much but eventually somebody will round up all Randroids put them in Somalia and turn it into green glass. Them watching the the suffering they've caused before a cataclysmic vaporisation might be the just thing to do.
