Title: The bitcoin mineathon for charity Post by: strideynet on October 24, 2012, 05:46:20 AM I had this idea to 1. Help people in need and 2. Raise awareness of bitcoin.
We would every year have a week long mineathon. Where you give up your hash power for charity! We would donate along as the charity lets us have a thank you on their site to the bitcoin miners and a link to a Bitcoin website. There is two ways this can be done. We create a special pool with no pay per share. Or we get people to direct their miners to the charities login on a good mining pool. It would be great if the people with a thash setup would donate just 10 minutes of mining time each day it runs! People could just donate if they wanted. I just think it would be nice to raise awareness of the bitcoin. If people could post charities and which system to mine with it would be great. This is a bitcoin commitee project. More about the bitcoin committee in the projects section the the forums.

If it only 30 bucks they have people donating 6000. So in order to get a shiny place in their website or whatever you must donate a large sum.

You should be able to choose which charities to donate to. Maybe someone could just start a webpage showing how much bitcoiner's have donated to charity in general.

Cause = Africa's stuck in a deep economic hole. |
