+777 Very inspired by this great initiative. Thank you, Risto, and everybody who supports this amazing circular sharing.

Apologies I don't have time to read all what has been written since the last time I posted in thread.

Thank you so much Risto for that gift and appreciation. Actually I got hit with a few charity situations I could not ignore since your offer was made, so several $100s of that is be sent to locals who have medical emergencies. Relieving immediate suffering has become one of my #1 priorities after suffering 3 days of excruciating pain from an acute (erupted, fully bleeding) peptic ulcer in May 2012, which I had to endure without pain killers. This feels like burning your skin in a flame for  days straight. I literally had to count the seconds 1, 2, 3, ... 10, and start over again. After that, I knew what hell feels like and I realized what the Bible means about ignoring people who are suffering because we can't feel the pain they feel. So when I got a request from someone who is suffering that same emergency, I will pay some of the hospital bill.

Apologies for my hasty communications, the reason being that I am highly stressed out and I wanted to terminate my forum presence asap, so wanted closure so I didn't need to remember to keep checking back. Then I realized it was Sunday (see i am so overworked I don't even know what day it is or if it is day or night outside, I literally didn't take a bath for 2 months, no time).

I logged back in today, because I wanted to make a post in your Altcoin thread about the Ethereum IPO which is approaching $15 million. Amazing to see so much capital going that direction.

Again thank you and I think happiness (and productivity, i.e. sick people aren't productive) has been maximized from the funds given.

I suppose you are demonstrating the Butterfly Effect, and the power that we have on the universe (for good or evil).

I plan to use the funds retained to provide security for the operators of a girls school in a region where Boko Haram is very active.

If i forgot to send someone btc please leave me a note.


For myself i would like to donate 925 mBTC to Aleks N. (aleks648) to help him fund his Bitcoin related startup Xbterminal (xbterminal.io), it allows local shops/bars/restaurants to easily accept Bitcoins via NFC, i think all of us will profit if we can use Bitcoin in our daily life easier.

The remaining 75 mBTC i would like to donate to webbsy a talented graphic artist, may he buy beer and cigarets the next time i annoy him, which is prolly after he has read this.

Thanks, aleks. I'll try to figure out what do with them.

Wow! So much money has been gifted and people made happy! This makes me also happy. Sorry I haven't had the opportunity to update the table in the OP yet, since yesterday we started the Summer Retreat in Malla and the first day closed at about 11 am when people began to go to sleep after waiting for breakfast in vain for 2 hours (it was promised at 9 am but there were issues...)

Thanks rp, it's good to receive the recognition more than any amount of money. It might not seem like I'm always around on the forum, as I try to limit my posting to my best original observations. I hope this means I'm choosing my moments well, seeing as you remembered someone who mostly lurks! And thanks also for drawing my attention to the thread, it's a great concept (and what a contrast it is to that which often appears on the forum). I will gladly accept the gift.

I'm going to draw up a list of people to continue the philanthropy, just trying to think of some overlooked recipients (there's no point giving to obvious people like the core development guys, they're probably at a level of bitcoin holdings where they'd only appreciate favors that money can't buy). There are a few forum handles making their way to the front of my mind, as soon as I've remembered a few I will post them + amounts here.

I will also donate to the QubesOS project, as they are making great progress in the field of computing security, and deserve some recognition, promotion, and not least, some funding. I strongly recommend using QubesOS for your online computing, in particular for secure use of bitcoin wallet software.

Edit: to stick to the true spirit of this thread, I'm donating to Qubes using the Armory donation matching scheme.
