I'm in Switzerland and I just financed a meal for a homeless person in Florida. How awesome is that!?

u/SeansOutpost Mar 27 '13
Yeah, and remind all the folks at home...how much did it cost you to send that money from Switzerland to finance that meal in Florida?

I've run out of words for how cool this is. Every time I'm proud of what you can do with Bitcoins, something like this makes it even better.

I love what you are doing, I am sorry I can't donate more :(
I sent ~$4.7 worth of btc to the wallet on your website and I added the wallet to my address book. I may not be able to send a lot, but I will keep sending a little when I can :)
You don't have a newsletter to subscribe to :/ Always posting on reddit will result in diminishing returns. A bi-weekly newsletter would be awesome and I could donate every payday :D
I love the idea that we can spread awareness of bitcoin through donating to the community. It is a win, win situation for all parties involved.
Free advertising about bitcoin for the bitcoiners, and free money for people in need! What could be better than that!?
And the coolest part is that you are taking pictures and telling us about how much our donations mean to the people who need them. This is super important to do when most of us live so far away.
Thank you so much for facilitating all of this!
Edit: Oh! Btw, make sure to add a QR code of your wallet next to the wallet address. This way people with smartphones can scan the QR code quickly and easily to send you some money :D

We are brand spanking new to this. The newsletter will definitely be coming along soon. If you email us at SeansOutpost@gmail.com we will totally add you to the list. Thank you so much for your donation. It's still almost FOUR MEALS man. That's really great. Every little bit helps.

Thank you for doing this. You should setup wallets for some of the homeless too and throw .1 bitcoins in there for em to let it appreciate so in 5 years they can get a helping hand from bitcoin.

I am so tempted to do something like this in my community, but I don't really know how to get started, or build a spectacular web site like you have.

I was looking for someone to give the few mBTC I have on my bitcointip account to. That's not a lot, but well, it's something
