About the Running Bitcoin Challenge

This is a virtual, do-it-yourself style annual challenge available to the worldwide Bitcoin and fitness community!

You are challenged to run (or walk, roll, or hike) the equivalent of a half-marathon – cumulatively or all at once – whenever and wherever you like in 2025.

Spread the word about Bitcoin, participate in a healthy activity, and feel good about doing your part to find effective treatments and cures for ALS.

Let's raise some sats for this on SN. I am in for 100k sats.

@k00b would there be a way for you to create a post that we can zap for this event that doesn't take sybil fees?

63 sats \ 4 replies \ @k00b 10 Jan

We'd need to create a new post type (and without the sybil fee, aggregate values would need to be adjusted for the reduced confidence in money actually changing hands).

We have our hands a little too full right now, but it's something that I will be happy to add in the future - a satraiser post type.

I figured it wasn't as simple as I hoped.

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @Coinsreporter 10 Jan

That would be fantastic. Could you also make a fundraiser post type please?

20 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 10 Jan

That's what a satraiser post type would be. Raising sats for charity or community events.

Such kindness from you! It restores my faith in humanity.

You donate to ALS which is fine but it won't go in the pockets of runners or it will?

47 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 10 Jan

??? runners are running to raise awareness not to earn money. The money goes to ALS research and helping those with ALS. Of course like every charity you don't know exactly how much of your money goes to the people that actually need it and how much gets wasted by administration but if it's good enough for Fran Finney, it's good enough for me. None of us would be in Bitcoin right now if it wasn't for Hal.
