Bitcoin Forum

  


Up to now people that want to donate for an emergency cannot properly monitor the money flow of their donations, indeed the percentage of money that effectively arrive to who need it is often unknown. On the other side local civil protection organizations, municipalities and single citizens in many cases have to wait months or even years to receive contributes. So why don’t use Bitcoin in these fileds?
 
Helperbit will put in contact who can be affected by a natural disaster with whom empathize with him, offering a geographical information system platform that help both the victim and the donator.
Helperbit is a bitcoin-based platform, this means that the system is 100% transparent, quick and efficient.
We are working on the Alpha version and soon we will need testers that will take part into some simulations to check the platform performance.

Legambiente Press Release (http://www.legambiente.it/contenuti/comunicati/legambiente-apre-alle-donazioni-bitcoin-grazie-alla-startup-italiana-helperbit)

Nowadays there is no peace for the areas affected by the Central Italy earthquake, but there are people that want to restart and give new life to those lands. The testimony of the Bosco Torto guys, a farm based in S.Pellegrino in Norcia, is an important symbol of hope. They will be the first beneficiaries of the Bitcoin charity campaign managed by Legambiente Onlus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb7rZtpVStM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb7rZtpVStM)

The funds increased rapidly because Swiss Re Foundation and Swiss Re Center for Global Dialogue donated 5 bitcoin during the event “Blockchain: How insurers are building up trust by breaking down barriers” in Zurich.

Helperbit - you're doing very good job helping people who are in need. Transparency is very needed in this field to track that all the donations are going where they are intended to go.

Thank you!

Huge success for Blockchain in main Italian Television RAI
Great success last friday night for #Codice, the first Italian TV program entirely focused on Blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

Helperbit enables Bank Card donations with Blockchain traceability
Helperbit announces that partnered up with Mistral Pay Ltd (http://www.mistralpay.com) and The Rock Trading Ltd (https://therocktrading.com/). The collaboration enables Helperbit to widen donation traceability services by adding a new payment method, but maintaining transparency and monitoring provided by the blockchain.

This new solution can boost the widespread adoption of blockchain for transparency purposes, even for people who are not practical with these new technologies but who have a Credit, Debit, or Prepaid Card.

Helperbit partners up with Flyp.me to boost altcoin donations
Helperbit srl is pleased to announce the new partnership with Flyp.me, that will allow donors to use new payment methods. The integration of Flyp.me will enable donations in the Helperbit platform by paying in ETH, LTC, DOGE, DASH, FAIR, GAME, DCR, ZEC, SYS, PPC, BLK, GRC.

Read the first post and then decided to look a bit down the path, the idea was probably very original at the time of posting. Must admit I'm surprised to see how far it has come. From website, I see a lot of awards but not a single organisation mentioned? Perhaps these partnerships are yet to begin?

What is most interesting was the blog post regarding your work in the wake of the recent Italian earthquake. My commendations, by the way! But what I would like to know more here.

Are you able to provide more information on the Legambiente case study? I come from a non-profit career, working especially in natural disaster and conflict. Especially directly on the ground in the early days of the emergency, most organisations suffer from poor accountability. This is most painfully apparent months and years after the operation, when donors are demanding for accurate and transparent accounting and reporting - which most local standards fail to meet.

Are you someone I could contact for more info? We can follow this up in PM, if you prefer.

Hi buwaytree,

thank you for commenting.

In our blog you can find all the announcements of new partnerships. Recently we partned up with The Rock Trading and Mistral Pay and the tool that allows people to donate with credit and debit card is already active here: https://helperbit.com/donateit (https://helperbit.com/donateit); while the partnership with Flyp.me has been announced in both our social media channels.
In the non-profit sector, Legambiente is the only NGO that has an active project, but other NGOs has access to our platform (now in private mode) and will launch soon their projects/fundraisings.

You can find more info about our case study with Legambiente in our blog: Helperbit supports Legambiente to raise funds for the earthquake reconstruction (https://blog.helperbit.com/en/2016/12/20/helperbit-supports-legambiente-to-raise-funds-for-the-earthquake-reconstruction/); Norcia protagonist of transparency (https://blog.helperbit.com/en/2017/02/21/norcia-protagonist-of-transparency/); A step towards transparency and an help for Alessia (https://blog.helperbit.com/en/2017/07/03/step-towards-transparency-help-alessia/).
This is the official charity campaign lead by Legambiente (in Italian) http://rinascitacuoregiovane.it and this is their announcement when we started the collaboration: http://rinascitacuoregiovane.it/oggi-le-donazioni-bitcoin-grazie-alla-startup-italiana-helperbit/

I agree with your vision. Your experience in non-profit sector highlights many problems and I think that they could be faced thanks to blockchain technology.

Write an email to info@helperbit.com.

Thank you for the reply, sorry that I missed it earlier and only saw this now going through old posts.

I've looked up the Legambiente case study on the links you provided and it was that earlier reading that led to my interest. What I would be really keen to look into are the exact details of the transparency enabled by blockchain - in particular the way aid is channeled and how that feeds into the auditing and financial management. I have some ideas myself about how that might work, but my immediate concern was for how blockchain access and updating would have happened in the field at the height of emergency. As communications networks are normally down. Bitcoin in this case allowed people to see exactly where the money was sent to, but does not continue down past project level to activity level (normally where transparency is most difficult).

In any case, I will write to the email address provided. Thanks!

SCAM ALERT
At least one fake website, identical to Helperbit's one, has been detected.
Pay always attention to visit the correct domain! The official one is "https://app.helperbit.com".
We remind you that there are no giveaways or other forms of promotion at the moment. We encourage users to report any suspicious pages.

https://i.ibb.co/tLyDJc7/scam.jpg

According to the Global NGO Technology Report, cryptocurrency donations represent 2-5% of the payment methods at global level.
This highlights a +100% increase compared to the previous year in some continents (North America, Europe, Australia).

https://blog.helperbit.com/en/2019/10/03/bitcoin-adoption-is-growing-in-charity-sector/

Wondering why there is no Russian and Chinese translations of Helperbit website. In our charity project being developed right now we will use English, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese and Russian translations, with more languages in near future.

At the moment we can't afford the support of more languages, therefore we are focused only on English, Spanish and Italian. For sure, we will take into account Russian and Chinese for the next developments.


By the way, happy 11th Birthday Bitcoin 🎂 and happy #ProofOfKeys Day! [Jan/3➞₿🔑]
Take back your financial sovereignty by withdrawing the cryptocurrencies held in trusted platforms (e.g. exchanges) and sending them to a non-custodial (and multisig!) wallet

I'm sorry I didn't know about this charity before, because I would definitely send a donation. If anyone has information on some new fundraising for Italy or some other country, just post it here.

When my country was hit by an earthquake recently, Italy was the first country to send aid - which is amazing considering the situation in their country.👍🇮🇹

Have you ever seen an ambulance with the Bitcoin logo painted on it?

Italian Red Cross Colli Albani already used BTC to buy a Medical Post for Covid19.

Now we can fund the first bitcoin ambulance, used to aid sick people and to spread BTC awareness:
https://app.helperbit.com/project/5ec94b14d959cb641bcd2147/bitcoin-ambulance (https://app.helperbit.com/project/5ec94b14d959cb641bcd2147/bitcoin-ambulance)

Checking in after a while, always good to see you guys progress -- I actually read quite a bit of coverage on the Italian Red Cross work with Helperbit elsewhere on the web, and there's really growing interest now for more provably transparent methods of funding charities.

Love the Bitcoin display on the Ambulance. Think this has to be the best Bitcoin visibility I've seen in a while!

thanks for your kind words!

Vehicles and medical equipment are critical to improve the Italian Red Cross's ability to fight emergencies such as the COVID19 pandemic.

In Helperbit there are now 4 committees that are raising funds to reach those most in need:
