Title: BTC Aid - The worlds first Bitcoin charity Post by: momagic on March 24, 2013, 12:04:54 AM I have set up the worlds first bitcoin chairty (www.btcaid.org) but need to develop the idea.
Someone who wants to donate anonymously to a charity can do so, through BTC Aid. I have many ideas on how to raise bitcoins for the needy. One idea to to develop a 100% safe javascript miner so regular people can generate bitcoins/litecoins. Please click here for an example: http://btcaid.org/how-it-works/ This will be an ideal way to promote bitcoin, a regular person can help create BTC/LTC. I want to get some prominent people on board, I might be able to get a MP to say a few words. The Charity will be 100% transparent will links to blockchain for each cause etc. The prominent people will be patrons of the charity so trust will be there. I need people on board, if you think you can help, let me know. I have the following domains: www.btcaid.ch www.btcaid.org www.btcaid.info www.btcaid.com What do you think? Title: Re: BTC Aid - The worlds first Bitcoin charity Post by: starsoccer9 on March 24, 2013, 12:11:10 AM cool neat idea, Id be willing to help. What type of help you looking for?
Title: Re: BTC Aid - The worlds first Bitcoin charity Post by: momagic on March 24, 2013, 12:39:35 AM A javascript miner of some sort to begin with.
Ideas too, maybe some investment, partners etc. People think bitcoins are dodgy, lets change their perception. Title: Re: BTC Aid - The worlds first Bitcoin charity Post by: starsoccer9 on March 24, 2013, 01:45:41 AM okay look at http://www.bitcoinplus.com/miner/embeddable they basically do what you want
as far as ideas go I think you need to do something like this: Contact charities to see who is interested Generate a bitcoin address for interested parties(should do vanity address for example 1charitynamehere) Provide charities with privite key to bitcoin address Provide proof via a signed statement that they have access to the funds Title: Re: BTC Aid - The worlds first Bitcoin charity Post by: momagic on March 24, 2013, 01:54:47 AM I've had a look at bitminerplus, consensus is he's a scam (search the forum), some something like that which is 100% open source and 100% secure.

Take a look at these 2 sites

Title: Re: BTC Aid - The worlds first Bitcoin charity Post by: whitenight639 on March 26, 2013, 08:36:18 PM Wouldn't it be more effective if you just put a donation address on each page for the different charities?? Surely you can accept donations now and donate the money in fiat? I think running a miner is a novel concept but it would take people years to make enough money for your charities.

I've got a break coming up and will visit some charities, I just haven't had the time in the day (work). About the miner, some people have powerful computers, I could set up a pool of some sort. All ideas at the moment. Title: Re: BTC Aid - The worlds first Bitcoin charity Post by: farlack on March 26, 2013, 09:38:43 PM I'm not in a pool, but don't the hosts charge a few percent? 1-4? You could charge like .5-1% donated to charity.
People could even use that as a tax write off as a charitable contribution couldn't they? Title: Re: BTC Aid - The worlds first Bitcoin charity Post by: momagic on March 26, 2013, 10:02:00 PM I wouldn't really charge them a percentage, I'm thinking about starting a charity pool.
It all really matters about the difficulty, BTC is hard to mine, LTC is easier at the moment. If a 1000 people have a miner running at 3kh/s that's a total of 3000kh/s.

I'd want a casual but safe bitcoin button to do a few things. First create a temp wallet, second withdraw from my wallet a dollar amount, needs to be converted, deposit that to my temp wallet, then the button confirms the amount in the temp wallet, finally I get a confirmation of the total amount I'm moving from temp wallet to destination.
