Title: If you want to make a charitable donation and have some fun in the process:
Post by: tkoham on March 05, 2016, 03:04:43 PM
I stumbled upon this today: Bitcoin Plays Pokemon (http://bitcoinist.net/bitcoin-plays-pokemon-lets-you-play-by-donating-btc-to-charity/). It's a charity stream that lets you play pokemon in the same way Twitch Plays Pokemon does, only you make moves by donating BTC to charity. Pretty cool. Twitch stream here (https://www.twitch.tv/bitcoinplays)

Both twitch and pokeman game is unknown to me. ;D
However i like the concept which can give big outcome or help with small input by bitcoin holders. Hope those donation goes to right and needy hands.

Wow! it is a nice idea to collect the charity for the needy people, but I am in the search that where or on whom needy the money will be spend, and will they give the proof of the charity spent on needy people?
If anyone have the answer please inform me, I am interested to know about the reason of their collecting charity.

This is actually a pretty cool idea.

I'm not sure that we would ever be able to finish it, however, as I'm sure that someone is going to continuously donate a "press start" command.

Whatever though, it's for a good cause.

The idea is good and nice but it didn't mentioned how much exactly each donation is or rather how much each move costs in this case. It would have also been nice if they would have said some information in regards to which charities were chosen to receive donations, so we could double check everything on the other side as well. Hope they don't turn out to steal in the end.

Well that seems like a pretty cool idea, but I don't really enjoy playing pokemon, are there any other games where you can do this.

Keep googling and soon you'll find a game where you control movements of naked women in a similar way.

you can spend any amount, though I think the minimum is .0005 to prevent spam. you can always ask the creator about the charities on twitter, its right there on the stream splash page.

The old legacy games still have a cult following, and you might get a few hits from the followers.... but I would want to see the charities listed on the stream and not follow on Twitter to see updates.

Anything linked to charity, must be audited and verified before anyone will participate... If you do not even know what charities are benefiting from this, what would encourage you to participate?

A good idea, but poorly executed in my opinion. The naked lady sounds like a better idea now.  ::)

I couldn't agree more.  Its interesting to see how Bitcoin plays out in different areas.

That is a neat idea. I have never seen something like this before, but I really like it.

Good luck on your fundraising man.
