I am happy, because I am so blessed with all good things in many spheres of my life.

To share the goodness, I have decided to give away 10,000mBTC.

I am aware that many of these people whom I highly appreciate and want to honor by giving them money, are themselves not needy people. On the other hand, I am not knowledgeable of deserving recipients who would actually make use of the money. Nor is it possible or would feel good to me to organize a general giveaway, doling out money to strangers. The government already does that with miserable results.

So I decided to give this money to 9 of my friends or acclaimed acquaintances, with the following caveat:

Rules (changes/additions in blue):
- You will be listed in the table of Magnanimous Benefactors for the sum you have given to other bitcoiners.

- You will be listed in the table of Happy Recipients for the sum you have kept (including given to any other person or cause).

- Magnanimous Benefactors' table will hopefully be much larger, because same money can be listed there multiple times, but kept only once.

- When you are given money by someone in the chain, you must post to this thread in 1 week, what you want to do with the money. If you keep some of it, please specify how it made/will make you happy, and post your Bitcoin address. If you give some or all of it on to other people, list the nicks and amounts and inform them yourself by PM so that they come to redeem the money on time. If no response happens in 1 week, the money reverts back to the giver (previously: me). Note, you must decide the fate of all of the money at the same time, and post the verdict in 1 week.

- To ensure that this goes on a little longer (after all, it is the first experiment), if you receive 200mBTC or more, you must give at least 50mBTC to at least 2 other people in bitcoinworld, also if you receive 100mBTC or more, you must give at least 50mBTC to at least 1 person; if you are not willing to do this, the whole gift reverts to the giver.

- othe has volunteered to make the Bitcoin payments. Once you decide to keep some of the money, it will promptly and publicly be sent to you.

- You are absolutely free to keep all the money (except the minimum of 50-100mBTC that must be given forward, applies to you if you receive at least 100mBTC) or to pass on all the money. All decisions just have to be made publicly, and your reputation will be reinforced by your magnanimousness. If you think that this scheme is ridiculous, you can also reject having anything to do with the money by saying so (it reverts to the giver, similarly as if you don't reply in a week).

- It is possible to send money back and forth, just that in the end somebody has to keep it and become happy as a result.

- A sum of less than 50mBTC may not be donated, but must be kept. Therefore, if you receive strictly less than 100mBTC, your choice is only to give the whole of it to one person in BCT, or keep it all.

- Please no begging in this thread. Everyone who receives the money is trying hard to find deserving recipients from the people he knows and interacts with. If you are a beggar and have not contributed anything to the forum, and nobody, who has even the chance to receive some of this money at some point, is your friend, then I would exhort to start learning (and making friends). It is free, and makes your life much better in the short and long run.

- All kinds of praise towards fellow bitcoiners absolutely belongs to this thread. This is a happy thread where everyone is happy!
