I have not heard from here yet. I sent another email this morning. I would like to do the post Monday. @k00b can you ask her if she has a problem with direct donations to her Stacker News wallet? She doesn't know me but I'm sure she knows you.
You want to do the satsraiser on Monday or just the post making folks aware we are dong it?
reply
Good question. Maybe I'll announce it Monday and do it Tuesday morning. What's your opinion?

Whatever works for you. Tuesday is my daugther's 5th birthday but I don't think we have anything planned until the afternoon/evening so I will be around in the morning/early afternoon.
Seeing the action on the NFL survivor post today. I don't think we need to promote the Satsraiser post if we are zapping 100k sats each. Up to you. Keep in mind there is a 10% fee for zaps which I learned today (always knew there was a fee, didn't realize it was 10% until people zapped 50k sats to survivor address in the span of 5 mins).

What's the best name for what we are doing, in your opinion? If it goes well I would like this to be the first of many. All the names I have thought of sound awkward. Satsraiser isn't bad. I also thought Sats-A-Thon. I don't know. I don't want to get in the way of your daughter's birthday. Maybe Wednesday? Re the 10% fee, I guess I could make it up at the end. An invoice might complicate matters and discourage donations. What do you think?
reply
Satsraiser, Sats-a-thon both good in my book. I think both capture the ethos of what you are trying to do. If you are unsure why not do a poll and have everyone vote on what name is best. That would also put the idea in their heads before you post about it.
reply
Good idea. Maybe I'll ask for opinions on the name in Monday's post announcing Wednesday's Satsraiser.

Sounds good to me. I sent Anita a message on Nostr. Looks like she hasn't posted in a couple days. Message as follows:
"Hi Anita. Just an FYI. Siggy47 over on Stacker News is trying to coordinate a fundraiser for you Bitcoin for Fairness project. He emailed you about it. Hopefully you will be open to it. We are going to corral the crazies over there and raise some sats for you important work. Siggy is leading the charge and I am helping him out. Please check your email."

Thanks. Hopefully it works.
