Title: [CHA] Raise money for Seans Outpost!
Post by: isaacgoldbourne on December 25, 2013, 01:13:36 pm
Hopefully you have all heard of seans outpost, well memorycoin has a built in way to raise money for charity. Along with the CEO/CNO etc addresses there is a charity address.

If you send 1 satoshi to MVTEchaTyyDP2V6QotPE4zi1mUvbNKo8pe it can be voted it. All coins gained will be sold (at a market appropriate time) and sent to Seans outpost. Any larger donations can be made but will not count as a vote.

I am not sure who is gaining from that vote at the moment, but it is certainly not a charity so please can we get it going to Seans.

For those of you who have not heard of it, Seans outpost is a BTC based charity that feeds the homeless, and has gained a lot of press attention recently. It really shows how charitable the crypto community can be. $1.50 pays for a homeless mans meal, that means the proceeds from this are enough to feed a lot of homeless people everyday. Check them out here. http://seansoutpost.com/ (http://seansoutpost.com/)

Remember for a vote it is 0.00000001 MMC and donations can be any amount. Of course a donation doesn't count as a vote though!

Merry Christmas to you too. It'll be really good if we can feed some homeless people at a time like this!

I'm still waiting for some satoshis from you guys. I'm personally putting forward 100 memorycoins to SeansOutpost!

Hi isaacgoldbourne, this is a great idea and this can be a huge win for our coin if we do it right. What do you think if we do it this way?

1. Could you contact Seans Outpost and explain them how they can apply for charity position? It could be a huge win for the coin if Seans Outpost would make a official application themselves.

2. Once we have Seans address we all vote for them and they start receiving coins.

3. You make a nice post on bitcointalk explaining one of the great innovations of MemoryCoin 2.0: charity position. How it works, how charities can apply, how to vote and the best news - Seans Outpost application. Just don't do it on our little silo bitsharestalk, let's post on bitcointalk so new people learn about our innovative coin.

4. We take your message and we attempt to publish it on http://letstalkbitcoin.com/ I think this would be a great interesting news and we would have good chances to get published. You might even get invited to a podcast!

What do you think, man?

Not a bad idea, I'll contact him now.

In the meantime it would be very helpful if you could vote for that address. At the moment from what I can see the charity position is held by someone who is just getting paid for it. They aren't a charity just making money! (using their own voting power!)

Messaged him on reddit, only place I know how to contact him. (he is a very heavily addicted redditor)

That's fantastic - yes I'd prefer to vote for an address that is directly controlled by the charity. Less admin and trust required and better if the charity understands what's going on.  Nice work.

Welcome, guess now I just have to concentrate on getting myself elected as CNO/CEO. Guessing the SPV client will help.

Bought 0.8btc off of the address, sent that to SO. Waiting for a more appropriate time to sell the rest as the price is already very low

Did you contact someone from Sean's Outpost?
There's nothing mentioned on their website. It would be great if they posted that somewhere, maybe even took the MMC to choose a time to convert themselves...

Yeah I contacted him on reddit, he said he would set it all up himself and I told him how and then he just didn't respond after that.

Lost the position, its a shame. I hope the new person selects Sean's Outpost as one of the charities
Title: Re: [CHA] Raise money for Seans Outpost!

Seems like Sean's didn't care a lot. Still no mention of MMC on their site.

Maybe the new charities bring some more attention to the coin by mentioning our support.

The charities he is thinking of seem to be USD based, I doubt we'll even get a hat tip from them.

I think he will care, when the market is right I will send a big donation, that will get some attention.

Isaac, how many MemoryCoin have you raised for Sean's Outpost so far?

Okay - have alerted them on Reddit -

I don't think they need a voting address at this point if they're not interested in that, just a plain donation address would do it.

Nope, I'm mainly targeting NGOs which accept cryptos. If they dont I will convince them to do :)

Isaac,
Any status report on that?
It would be nice to report actual donations made...
From what I understand you still have 5200 MMCs accumulated for charity?
We don't have to use it on Sean's outpost if they aren't interested.

0.8 btc donated, or about 2000 MMC. Waiting for an appropriate time to sell the rest

Got a txid for that?
As Sean's doesn't feel the need to mention us and the donation it's up to you to keep people informed and show them that (at least some of) the coins reached their destination.

Sean's didn't seem to enthusiastic, I'll try and dig it up but I withdrew directly from one of my accounts on btcjam which I don't have access to the private keys so may be a little hard. I'll do my best though
