"Some of the proceeds" going to missing persons search, remainder going towards a new block. I think it a valid point, did OP ever specify what amount was being donated? Technically any amount fits "some", but I'm sure others would be more willing to jump in if there was a stated amount since the total pot is defined to $20k.

Mike, any spots left? I'll take any number. thanks Russ

I will take Spot 4
Thanks Dan

I guess all spots are taken?

Hi Chuck,

#106 good to go. I check email before I logged in here and replied to you.

Mike

No, I'm just running behind with updates. Update to follow on this post.
Stand by.

Mike

Hi Dan,

I replied to your email; you're on #4.

Mike

Hi Russ,

I replied to your email. You're on #40.

Mike

Thanks for your concern and the question; I felt that I answered sufficiently in a previous post, but to reiterate;
Any funds over my original investment in the block were going toward the search. In reality, just covering the cost of the block was my main concern and we're helping with the search regardless. That goal has been met, and there are 130 open spots remaining. Update on a separate post to follow.

Mike

Payment sent

Ok kids, sorry for the delay on the update.
I've tried to make this easy for everyone to understand, but I am continually surprised by those who do not, or will not follow simple instructions.

1. There is a single point of contact for a reason. MikesBlueCollar@gmail.com
Not my work phone, not my work email, not Facebook Messenger, and not via carrier pigeon. Trying to track who I've responded to across multiple platforms leads to unnecessary delays (like this one). Sorry

2. Spots paid for: 66

3. Spots pending pmt: 5

4. Removed for non-payment or
non-response over 7 days 15

5. Total open spots: 129

6. Tentative date for chip draw is Feb 17 and may be extended pending interest. If you want in for your chance to win this block, jump on it.
I'm not going to make everyone wait forever.

I may do a set of cylinder heads next.

Mike

MIke I paid for a spot you have marked as open on 1/25/24? Maybe an oversight?

I’m sure it is as I got your email. Let me go back and look.
I’ll fix it.

Mike

I will take spot #20

Good morning Alan,

Mike, you have me in spot number 36, I had requested 100, and you are saying you need a last name. Not sure if there are 2 guys out there with that name. Thanks, Jim Reichenbach.

Jim, I didn't find an email from you, but I corrected it and you're on #100 now.
