Great news! I got them to accept Bitcoin donations!

They created a mtgox account and updated this page:

http://www.groupbstrepinternational.org/donate.html

Hip Hip Hooray!

Great, joshbb! Is there any way can you get them to include a Bitcoin logo button, same size as the PayPal button, albeit small but that doesn't matter at all? Otherwise, we're golden.


I think it's right, but wanted to make sure the use of bitcoin above isn't suppose to be capitalized.

Sent a coin straight to them. Their first one 

You may also write me down for the next charity for at least 1BTC.

It's about time we have a winner. In future emails we should use this organization as an example to help us get more organizations on board.

I'm ready to help fund the next wallet.

Great work! Sent groupbstrepinternational 1 bitcoin.

I must say though.. the progress is glacial. (No thanks to me.. I haven't hassled anyone to accept in a while)


Not long ago - nten.org made a little video about bitcoin, and although it seems like a bit of a 'dig' at bitcoin - It's actually really good that they're aware of it, and the intention really was a mixture of humour and expression of curiosity - not hostility.
See https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/58556.0

nten.org is the Nonprofit Technology Network.   It's their job to help nonprofits use technology.

This is the perfect organisation to help charities and other nonprofits understand the value that Bitcoin brings to them.
We really should be reaching out to NTEN so that they in turn can educate their members and help them get set up.

I guess now we need to bug the following people to honor the amount they pledged in parenthesis, and have them send it to the 1BTC1oo address along with transaction #. Anyone wana bug them, or should I? Also, should we rename the group to Bitcoin 110? We totally busted through the 100 members figure a wile ago

For fear of having a major discussion ensue, I offer up the following, quote from the OP of this thread.


That said, it's not truly written in stone. The key part is that we desire to give no less than 100 BTC to any non-profit who accepts our terms. Surely, nobody advocates giving the whole wallet to them, thus having to start anew funding a new wallet. As it stands right now, and I'll already mentioned, Bitcoin 100 is in position to honor 4-5 non-profit organizations at 100 BTC each.

No, we're still fighting about it 

Figure of speech! Only hashing out a couple minor details before we send the first issue to the printer.  

Although I would love to see a button on their donation page, but that's not a deal breaker. I suggest the same size as their PayPal one, and pay close attention to their color scheme on their website. Orange may that be a good choice in this case. They can implement it after they receive their first lump sum.
