MerryMerkleSouthAfrica

Merry Merkle is an annual #ethereum tradition. This year, we're in Africa, helping build a school. We respond only to love, Toto, and #ShatnerHODL jokes.

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

The list goes on and on and on.

#MerryMerkle is a force few are yet to full understand. But they will.

Remember: we did this in a crazy, depressed, scared bear market. We will return in 12 months with multi-collateral dai from @MakerDAO and even more @ethstatus mobile love!

It's time to say goodbye for 2018:

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

@nanexcool @Blockgks @metamask_io @ChainSafeth @0xProject @richatmakerdao Haha, we see that @richatmakerdao is still successfully trolling you ;)

But sure, we can make an exception for you (the fiat payment is scheduled for Monday next week, so that is the absolute cut off)

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

We're incredibly thankful to all the help we've received this year! We are sorting final exchange and transfer details currently and will post a real vote of thanks to people like @Blockgks @metamask_io @ChainSafeth @0xProject @nanexcool @richatmakerdao etc as soon as we can!

One last thanks to the man himself, @robbiebent1, both for starting Merry Merkle, and for being so committed to this year's auction of @angels_african artwork! You are the new owner, brother, and we love you always ❤️🦄

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

@robbiebent1 @SuperRare_co The now-famous charity troll @richatmakerdao seems to have outbid you currently @robbiebent1 😜

Gonna have to fight harder for that #MerryMerkle goodness! Maybe you can team up with @nanexcool to exact revenge?

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

@Sim_Pop @ethereumJoseph @ETHGlobal @ethBounties We're so stoked to have your support - it's been magical, as always ❤️

Now just get @ethereumJoseph to bid on some artwork for the final #MerryMerkle push 😉

Bidding heating up for the @MerkleMerry charity auction 🚀 https://t.co/yTQ3IFhKg5 #cryptoart #MerryMerkle

[Robbie Bent @robbiebent1]

Kicked off the bidding with 1 ETH -- Looking forward to owning my first tokenized art piece! @SuperRare_co - love the interface. @MerkleMerry .. is my favourite thing in crypto!

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

For the last 3 days of #MerryMerkle, we have something incredibly special... @SuperRare_co have helped us tokenize Angelic self-portraits! Let's start a real bidding war @nanexcool @richatmakerdao @metamask_io @0xProject @ChainSafeth 🤯

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

We wholeheartedly endorse this t-shirt and would add a @ChurchOfConsens handshake to the back if possible 😎

[mariano.eth @nanexcool]

@cryptowanderer @robbiebent1 @AmeerRosic @MakerDAO @ethBounties @ChainSafeth @metamask_io @0xProject @ethstatus @zinc_work I'll contribute more Dai before New Year's, at least to pass @richatmakerdao! Oh, and t-shirt idea: "I'm not stable but my donation is" 😁

[Hester @hesterbruikman]

Love this community effort!

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

We made it to R102,770!! That's enough to pay the school fees of 20 children - i.e. the whole high school class for next year, or to cover ALL the costs of educating 4 children for a whole year ❤️🦄

We cannot thank the #Ethereum community enough. #MerryMerkle strikes again! 🛠️

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

Big love to Rob Culliton: one of the fated, fearless 9 volunteers.

Very grateful for being able to join @MerkleMerry South Africa, meet the kids at @angels_african independent school, and learn about their hopes & dreams. Puts everything else into perspective.

DONATE ur magic internet money!

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

Bring on the magic internet money and accompanying magic people for one last #MerryMerkle push before the end of the year! ❤️🦄

[MetaMask 🦊 @MetaMask]

Nicely done, @0xProject! It looks like you have truly embodied the holiday spirit. Surely no one could dare take the lead now...

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

A #MerryMerkle Christmas to you all! Thank you so much to everyone who has so willingly given of their time & resources to this year's campaign 😍

We are R580.34 away from reaching our goal of R100 000 - so take 1 moment on your Christmas day if you can to help us home!

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

As our resident banker @BooYah2 notes, school fees are only R4800 p.a. but with salaries, operating costs etc, the cost to educate 1 child p.a. is around R26000 atm, so @0xProject just paid in full for 1.3 children for a year, or covered the fees for 8 (EIGHT!!!) children ❤️😍

[MerryMerkleSouthAfrica @MerkleMerry]

Woke up this morning to a mind-blowing 14 ETH donation from @0xProject - seems like they're making a habit of it @danfinlay 😉 We are truly humbled by such generosity, especially as ETH begins to run again! 🦄

That 1 donation is enough for 1 child for a whole school year!!

[MetaMask 🦊 @MetaMask]

Classy move, @ChainSafeth! You’ve unseated us fairly. It looks like nobody else has more holiday cheer or deserves the top of @MerkleMerry more... ending soon...
