#2Perhaps he doesn't find the whole situation to be pleasant, but as of 6 days ago, he's been donated at least $28,000 (https://blockchain.info/address/1Dorian4RoXcnBv9hnQ4Y2C1an6N...). Hopefully this offsets things.

#3I called it when the story first broke with a simple question any reporter should've asked themselves:
> There's one thing that doesn't add up: why would such a privacy conscious man use his real name on a project he thought might be illegal? If he was so serious about his privacy, he would not have used his real name in public.

The entire situation is a total fuck up.

Can you perhaps explain how he can get these $28,000 in physical dollars?
That's not even getting into an irony of throwing Bitcoins at a person whose life has been just severely discomforted by the very same subject.

The guy collecting the BTC donations has said that he will convert the BTC into actual money then deliver them using commonly accepted methods for payment in the United States. Delivering $X0,000 is not a particularly novel problem in the US economy. There exist many very straightforward ways of solving it.

How do you create an address that includes specific text?

Andreas M. Antonopoulos, apparently someone respected in the Bitcoin community, stated that he will convert any donations to that address into USD a the end of March and get it to Dorian.

Brute force using "vanitygen" or similar tools: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Vanitygen

You brute-force create private keys until you have one whose corresponding public key starts with your desired string. A commonly recommended command-line tool to do this is vanitygen. I feel the urge to say "I do not endorse that tool's security." (Though the same goes for Bitcoin generally.)

Just like anyone else does it? Send to an exchange or service like Coinbase, withdrawal to your bank account.
But it sounds like someone in the community will do it for him.
