Relieving the pain inflicted by the jackboot of the state upon young Zoe's neck

Nice, but that address on the paper wallet LOOKS like an intended VANITY address for a girl named "Kay"...?

This being intended as a long-term savings-account wallet, maybe a vanity address for Zoe would be nice?

Let me know how to get the private key for this to you safely (?) IF we want to use it (? ? ?)

Would still like to see some mainstream media coverage on it, that'd make it even better (worth more than the small $600 to overall benefit of everyone concerned, I'd think, plus calling-out of the bad cop behavior value too IMHO)

P.S. I'm not even sure exactly how much btc I put into this since a lot of it was just my "dust" from various wallets.

So I'm gonna need a new worthy cause to send dust to now, LOL.  Any suggestions?

This would be nice and I would be glad to help make an article submission but Burt and jbreher need to let us know if they want the publicity or not? Take a couple pictures at least of her reaction in case an article will be written.

Now that Openbazaar has a large investment,... the one project that needs the most help and is critically important is Darkwallet-  https://www.darkwallet.is/

Great luck - at today's price, the initial address holds $684.94. I am depositing 0.35366615 BTC -- $84.94 at the current price -- into the paper wallet. One time only

If all y'all don't get on the stick about the inscription, I'll just take my best stab at it. Likely a combination of those already suggested.

Thank you for being a good steward and your efforts. Let us know about the publicity because if you document it with photos and video we could help publicize it and raise more funds for her savings and future...something to think about.

Reminder -- edit the new address in the OP of this thread.

Nice thought, but Zoe's already waited long enough so this isn't needed IMHO.

Sorry - I had not noticed that the addy looked like a vanity addy. Merely coincidence. Your suggestion is a good one. Unfortunately, this is what we're rolling with. I don't have time today to respin everything. Bear in mind, it'll be in her hands this evening (assuming nascent plans come to fruition).

I hate to be a jerk -- especially given your readiness to help -- but could you please redact your addy in order to stave off any confusion?

Alternatively, you could manage another campaign built around your addy.

I am in or out - makes no difference to me. I might do something local as well, but I am laying low for now, under the impression that the family would like things quiet for now, while the extortion phase of their plight is still unfolding. I suggest we take our cues from the family. I would not want to be mentioned without Gleb being mentioned as well - he kicked this project off. And everyone who donated as well. Assuming, of course, they would not object.

Yikes! missed it. Fixed now. Any others?

I should have remembered that kevinlarr had previously suggested a vanity addy. But I didn't. C'est la guerre.

No problem... no confusion intended, it was just a thought.

I'll go back to that post and edit-out the address right away.

In that case take a few photos and get a video of the event and sit on it so we can publicize later when the family doesn't have so much pressure on them from the state. It will be a better article in the future anyways because it will likely show the paper wallet value grown, and tell a larger story of the total legal outcome of the whole event.

If they never do decide to publicize it than that would be another gift for the family and Zoe to record a brief moment of happiness among a very stressful moment in time to reflect upon and remind her there does exist a bit of humanity left in what may seem to be an increasingly unjust world..

Zoë says thanks. As do Jean and Burt.



She was quite speechless to start, but recovered gracefully. I understand this should allow her to participate in rock climbing activities this summer.

I get the impression the family may be more public once the (in)justice system finishes chewing.

Thanks again for all your help!

I want to personally thank each and every one of you.  Jean posted a thank you here:  http://www.burtw.com/wow-.html

Check it out.  There is a nice picture of Zoë with Bitcoin "Santa Claus".

We are truly grateful for all the love and support we have received from the Bitcoin community.

On July 13, 2015, the federal case against Burt was dismissed at the request of the Department of Justice.  Unfortunately the debt incurred to fight the spurious charge and the damage done to Burt's reputation remains.  Thank you to those who have supported our family during this difficult time.

Hopefully, the rock-climbing is going well. Please pass best wishes to Zoe.

Zoe is having a blast rock-climbing.  She went to team try-outs and made the team.  Thanks again for your support.

Thanks , for keeping us up to date. Our paltry donations aren't much and is a small drop in the bucket to make whole on what the state has taken from you.

My greater concern about this is the longterm psychological effect it will have on Zoe as it is indeed traumatic experience to go through at such an age. Hopefully it will become a good learning experience to create a healthy skepticism of the state and not full on paranoia which can take over peoples lives if they obsess about it.
