I did about 10 hours ago, and it's showing in the pool. I think it's also in the chain already.

Orphans >>> Expenses Paid
Orphans >>> Orphan Fundraisers
I'm not opposed to the idea long term. There is already a donate checkbox on the Send tab, publicizing the Orphan Fund address for donations might be advantageous. I think you should split the proposal into two components.
Component one: Charity Commission, a level of oversight and distribution of the work load is good idea.
Component two: Charity Fund. This is the part I don't think is strictly necessary given we already have the Orphan Fund and I'm not clear on why we need another wallet / address to have additional donations to.
Yeah, that would be a great idea.
I actually found the address (at least the one my wallet gives me):
http://explorer.biblepay.org:3001/address/BB2BwSbDCqCqNsfc7FgWFJn4sRgnUt4tsM
It's the same address on which the compassion.com superblock funds were deposited.
Alright, yeah, the donation part sounds good, although I think you can already send BBP directly to the orphan address (just check the 'donate to foundation' box in the 'send' tab of the wallet). Or... It says 'foundation', so I'm not 100% sure where it goes. Maybe it's the pool addressHaha! That's exactly why the Charity Commissions BBP address sounds like something useful
10-4 on the website thing. That sounds cool.
Well, since this commission is in effect for the most part a buffer for events like you described (BTC in sub 3k levels), I don't share your pessimism completely.
Besides that, I think that this commission will add value to Biblepay, because it will create more validity for us (having a commission handling the scanning due-diligence on new charities). I think it's great PR.
I do think that until the orphans are funded 6 month out, we should - mostly - use any excess funds in the superblocks. They are excess because they weren't claimed with other proposals, so it's not like things like PR and IT are really missing out. Rob always waits until the last moment to create a proposal for excess funds, so there is plenty of time for others to make proposals.
So, I propose that "Donate all leftover budget to charity fund" should be something more like: "Donate part of the leftover budget to charity fund (until we reach a 6 month pre-payment for compassion), and after that, all of the leftover budget, until a certain threshold, and burn everything above that."
That was a longer sentence than I envisioned, haha!
I want this commission to be a buffer, and not potentially become a superpower, so I want it to own a lot, but not too much BBP. Also, from the investors point of view, this commission could become a 'whale' with the potential to crash the BBP-market, and burning coins will raise the value of the rest of the BBP.
Oh Mike, since I am on of the people working on the new website, could you explain more about the 'Charity tab on Biblepay website' thing?
Until our current orphans are funded 6 months out, I'm pretty pessimistic on further commitments. The well being of our currently sponsored children is too important to risk on trying to do a bit more good, when all it would take is a drop in price of BTC back to sub $3k levels to dramatically impact their lives.

My greatest dream for this coin is that it actually BECOMES the charity. It doesn't just give to a charity. It IS the charity. It becomes an earthy extension of the GREAT I AM. It funds itself to do work in the world. It actually goes through and around the world proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, telling the story of the woman who poured her perfume over Jesus:
Matthew 26:13
Mark 14:9
Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world,
what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.
No one that I know of is doing this.
But you also have to realize, that if Biblepay is to BECOME the charity, it has to grow much larger in marketcap: to 100 Million or even 1 Billion or more. In the process, if this is to happen, it will make many of you very wealthy. But to get to that level, you have to be a good steward for the investors and take care of their funds so they are willing to keep buying and holding biblepay.
Do you have that vision?
