So I just listened to McCormack's interview with Fran Finney. The guy is still using Ledger as a sponsor...smh... But this comment is not about that.

I had a thought after listening to the podcast. I was thinking of forming a Stacker News team on Fran's fundraiser site and help fundraise for the cause. But before I do that, I want to see if there is interest in the community in forming the team, because I would rather just make a personal donation if I will be the only person on that team.

What better place to ask than the Saloon? Also, if someone "official" like @koob, @kr, or @ekzyis would like to form this team and run the fundraiser, I'm happy to just join the team and donate my sats.

I'm personally committed to donate 1102009 sats, because the legendary running bitcoin tweet was posted on Jan 10, 2009.

So yea, stackers, let me know if you guys would be interested in joining this team and I'll create the team if I see enough interest.

deleted above comment since I didn't read properly and thus my reply was confusing to read

Sounds interesting but need to decide with @k00b and @kr (btw, its k00b with 0, not o).

You mean a fundraiser for the ALS Golden West Running Bitcoin Challenge, right?

I mean I just go to the site http://runningbitcoin.us and register a team called Stacker News and ask people to join in there to fund raise. I'll also write a post about it and will donate all zaps from the post to there. Will also donate all zaps from my above comments to there. Basically, any sats I get because of talking about this thing will get donated to the site.

But since I'll be using the Stacker News name, I want to be respectful of you guys and see if you're ok with me doing this or you guys rather do it yourselves, or if you rather I not use the Stacker News name?
