I'm looking to donate 310k sats.

But be careful:

  1. Link me the website, not the lnaddr. I will do massive due diligence and I am a Karen if I find anything.
  2. If you thought you could scam, I will fuck you up when you least expect it, so no funny business. Be honest.

Funds go to paying Bitcoin fees to timestamp the world's data.

Truth is something people from all walks of life and all politics should be able to agree on. Time-stamping is the easiest and cheapest way to add evidence that data is truth rather than lies.

You're on my annual list so I'm going to skip you on this one, but it would have been a good idea if that weren't the case.

This may not be what you're looking for, but I'm a huge Anita fan:

Why are you a huge Anita fan?

Because I think she walks the walk. She is solidly bitcoin, does not look to personally profit from her donations, and has done good work fostering bitcoin communities in Africa. I look forward to your deep dive. Let's see what you dig up.

Great answer.

@anita did an AMA here, too: #978246

I'm aware; also have met at talks in the past. I'm just asking for pitches! It's important to understand why people recommend something.

Scraping the internet is easy. Even doing the DD is easy. All automated and what isn't there in my toolbox is being vibecoded as we speak. The reason why I ask is that SN happens to have quite the collection of high integrity Bitcoiners, so I'm explicitly looking at what other stackers think is worthy. Not to be lazy, but to do a high standards donation.

I'm literally planning to give away of the rewards for work I did for SN, so this is me paying forward the downstream of my most valueable posession: past time spent that I cannot get back.

She's done the work to onboard a number of people personally, and shared their stories of how they're using bitcoin to solve their problems. And that's not to mention all of the local Bitcoin meetups she's gotten off the ground and provided with educational resources (translated into the local languages before chatGPT no less.) She's on the front line and putting in the work for those that need bitcoin the most! I'm a fan too.

There are quite a few on Geyser, e.g. https://guide.geyser.fund/geyser-docs/guides/success-stories/orphans-of-uganda. Didn't do due diligence...

reply

Good hint, thank you.

I'll have a bot go through their repo and see if I can use their API as a starting point for discovery. Won't be for this round but maybe in the future.

I appreciate environmental orgs that accept bitcoin, like the Izindlovu Fund, because it counters all the FUD about btc destroying the environment.

(That said, I haven't done my due diligence beyond a basic look at their info, so hope they're on the up and up.)

reply

I've not heard of these so I'll let some bots do some information gathering work on it (I'll have it start with collecting every snapshot on wayback machine of their org ever, lol)

I'll give feedback

I am aware of some child help foundation and old age homes in India. But I don't think they accept Bitcoin. Actually that's sad!!
