Forum Post: We have MONETIZED TROLLDOM for the benefit of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Keep track of how many troll posts you see each day and donate a dollar or a dime for each one to the occupation of your choice. I call it the "Dollar or Dime" fundraiser.

EVERY TIME I SEE A TROLL POST during the day, I make a little hash mark on a tablet next to my computer. At the end of the day, I donate a dollar to Occupy Wall Street for every troll post. I pick a different occupation each day. So far I have donated at total of $1,281 to the occupations.
Others are joining me and doing the same. Just give according to your means. Make it a penny a post if you like.
The point is that every time one of this pour souls tries to discredit the movement they actually make it stronger. Kind of like the Oakland police.
Viva la resistance.
This is fun!
Just saw another one. Up to $1282 donated to OWS now. :)
Great Idea I'm doing the same. That twat below just earnt them another GBP :-)

Brilliant!!
I better tighten my belt though, this is gonna see me donating a pretty good chunk o' change :)
Yes. You're absolutely right. Here's something even cooler :) http://occupywallst.org/forum/genius-idea-from-efschumacher-heres-how-you-can-wi/
Please read TOWARDS AN INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY http://www.inclusivedemocracy.org/fotopoulos/english/brbooks/brtid/IDBook.pdf
Viva la resistance! I am going to try to have this printed on a t shirt. Also...great idea on this post.....Somehow we should be able to use this idea to control members of congress.....Members of congress seem to be trolls.
That's awesome, I am on board.
Well I'll just go a dime a pop. This forum is already maggot infested
It cost me at least a buck just to read this.
Ha!
Great idea I'm doing twnety dollars. Makes me feel a lot better.
Cool!
"monetize trolldom" lol
In the last two weeks I've been on this site I have tried my best to do what I feel I can, however small, to help the OWS movement, encouraging people, imparting a bit of when I can, and so on. But I don't feel I'm doing near enough, so . . . HOW 'BOUT THEM CARDINALS, EH?
Great idea!
Glad you like it. Please spread the word.
Great idea.
It's given me great pleasure during the past week. I waited until now to notify them because I wanted to get the meter running at a good clip. All the while they had no idea. That was my favorite part.
That would be a derivative. ; )
Not really. But nice try. Derivative is a bet. This is a sure thing. Occupy Wall Street getting real money.
A good idea. The trolls are pretty useless as human beings and as thinkers, this way they indirectly are doing some good.
:-)
Nope.
The bet would be how you might play some derivative or related to how it might be constructed. A dervivative itself is just some abstraction of some other underlying entity, commodity, etc. i.e., in this case, the posts being the underlying commodity, your hash marks being a derivative thereof, the donation being the contracted monetization of the derivative.
But nice try. ; )
We compute the derivative of a quadratic function using the limit of a Newton Quotient.
See, so, now give me all your money so we can get rich and you don't. Brilliant!
So simple, yet so eloquent, just simple Simon math.
We all get it, right? Simplicity.........
This was a convoluted ineffective answer on your part rather than a troll post so, sorry, no dollar will be donated on your behalf. :(

The derivative itself is merely a contract between two or more parties. Its value is determined by fluctuations in the underlying asset.

Wondering what might be next? Here's what might be next: Hundreds of thousands of people doing this http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-please-help-editadd-so-th/
but anyway, thanks for the dollar
not sure what you mean by that. i just copy pasted from a finance website.
The Trolls spend a lot of energy directed towards the OWS movement. From a "collective consciousness" perspective, the Trolls are helping to raise awareness.
What they resist persists.
(OWS, on the other hand, instead of resisting is proactively being the change the whole world wants to be.)
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Thanks! There's another dollar for Occupy Oakland. :) http://www.occupywallst.org/forum/we-have-monetized-trolldom-for-the-benefit-of-the-/
