Congratulations! Following very closely.

This looks very interesting, I'm excited to see an ICO funded unselfish idea. I hope to see more of these.

Good luck

PHILANTHOR is a humanitarian oriented project targeting the community. The project contributes to building a better and better society. When using Blockchain technology, transparency, safety, no intermediaries ... will work well. I am delighted to hear specifically how the project contributes to "supporting the cause of youth focus, gender equality and the protection of the environment and wildlife, with particular emphasis on education. , food safety and water, clean energy, the environment and health".

Thanks for the interest! We plan to use the funds raised from the community to achieve the goals you mentioned through a philanthropy foundation running transparently over block chain. I encourage you to learn more about it, read our white paper and join our cause at https://www.philanthor.com

Thanks Jennifer, we are excited to launch it.

Seems like a good project!! I'm impressed by your team. I would like to support it!!

Do you plan to support clean energy projects? (I think the CSR of energy companies would be very interested to work with you)

Clean & renewable energy are on the top of our list of subjects. And as a DAO we would also need to have an interest from our donors in this topics.
One of our advisors is a very experienced executive in the energy sector, and his role is to help evaluate energy related research projects to support.

Good to have you on board!

I signed up and bought a bit of PTH to show support of this idea, I do hope to see this succeed (or come across more choices such as this to do something good with my crypto)

One question though - besides the fact that it is difficult to find charities that collect cryptocurrency donations today, can you explain how this is different than hitting a "Donate with BTC" button to donate directly to a charity?

Thanks for your support!

Philanthropy is a bit different than charity; not all types of charity are philanthropy, or vice versa, (though there is an overlap). The main difference is that charity aims to relieve the pain of a particular social problem, whereas philanthropy attempts to address the root cause of the problem. An example is the difference between sending pain killers to malaria patients which is charity, versus educating the public in affected areas or supporting medical research teams in finding a cure for malaria, which are philanthropy.

We have set aside 10% of our future donations to Charity, but the majority will go into finding long term sustainable solutions to the problems.

this project looks very serious. team is very much and complete to fill several lines. I am very sure this project will grow very fast

Thanks you! The team is super committed to this project, and takes it very seriously.

I think so too

this looks good and serious to me. solid team with a lot of conenction to charities, environment, education. looks like their heart is in the right place. their whitepaper makes a good case for philanthropy over the blockchain but I wonder how their token will work. will there really be a way for token buyers to affect the decisions of the foundation?

Thanks Marcus for the support, and that's a very good question, we address it in the white paper. In a nutshell: token holders would be able to cast a vote on topics, causes, demographics, geographies and more. Beyond voting, they would be able to donate tokens directly to a cause, and also to create or introduce new causes/charities to the platform and get other members to join and match.
And as much as ERC20 permits, these decisions and votes, will be governed by smart-contracts.

Thank you @mkofi for your kind words, the team really is great. I feel honored (and humbled) to be working with these people. If anyone can make this vision materialize it's this team.

As a previous reply mentions, we plan to initially use PTH as a voting token and as a way to nominate support-worthy causes. But voting only scratches the surface of what's possible! We have a few additional creative ideas for how to use the token and blockchain to build a community that can make these decisions as one big hive-mind.

Let me ask you (anyone, really...) how would you like to see a true democratized philanthropic foundation function? What would make you feel that you have real control over the distribution of funds?

Many have venture in the field of philanthropy or charity already but up until now no known blockchain project has attain their mission. Have you heard a certain individual or institution that received help from blockchain project? Most of the time, it's only donations but not receiving aid thru this platform. So what is your edge to make this real and not fall in the trading business only?

Thanks that's a good question:

a. Over a considerable period of time we have done quiet a lot of research, and had a discussion with dozens of future recipients who are happy to work with us, either as donations, grants or scholarships or aid.
b. Our team was specifically chosen to cover a wide scope of philanthropy topics, such as agriculture/agri-tech, energy, biotech, health tech, education (and a few more). Each one of our team members in involved in more than a handful of projects that are eager to work with us, so we have a growing lineup of exciting projects.
c. Charity is only a small part of our scope (about 10% of the reserve fund) but we can see already various blockchain based charities, coins, or charities that accept crypto as donations. So we believe the trend will grow from here forward.
d. We have seen a few other projects in this space, some are truly inspiring, but most of them are focused on building a platform for charity fund raising. Our focus is on the actual philanthropy work, specifically building an AI based Hive mind, that not only raises funds, and takes advise from the token holders, but then spends the funds for social good. You can think of it as a 360° holistic true philanthropy work, rather than just the fund raising platform.

I hope that gives an answer, and we'll be happy to discuss more in details.

 

@tippytoes, I fully understand your concerns and we are certainly aware that we are not the first attempt to link philanthropy and charity with a blockchain project. Obviously I cannot assure you that we will not fail, but I can share with you what makes me personally believe in this project and invest my time and effort in it.

The reason I have faith that Philanthor is not a facade using philanthropy/charity as a pretense to raise money for other reasons (from outright scam to "just a trading business") is that our team has already extensively engaged with leaders of charities and philanthropic causes. We presented our ideas and roadmap to them and not only received their blessing and their wise advice but a significant number of them liked what they heard so much that they took the next step and actively joined us to take part in the project as advisers. Too many of the pretend-philanthropy projects raised a huge red-flag for me because it was clear that they are much more concerned with getting people to donate than with the intended recipients of these donations!

Please take a look at our list of advisory board members at https://www.philanthor.com/#section-team (https://www.philanthor.com/#section-team). You will find among them leaders of charity organizations as well as industry leaders in fields that tie in to many of the philanthropic causes we plan to support such as health, clean energy, water, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and more. I have not seen any blockchain philanthropy projects to this day that did this kind of extensive footwork on the receiving end of the aid (and we are just getting started!)

Besides the credibility these advisers bring to our project, we expect them to become an invaluable resource to the foundation both in establishing relations for distributing the foundation's funds where they can achieve the highest social impact but also as means to engage in other parts of the same industries and open up additional fund sources (e.g. tapping into CSR programs).

Thank you for raising this important question!

just asking this question is already a good start, you are the CTO of Philanthor and instead of being all arrogant and act like know everything you open this up to the community. I like the attitude. maybe you guys are really trying to build something that pays attention to what the community thinks

Thanks for the confidence. We are happy to have an open discussion.

Philanthropy foundations are very needed,  cause they support projects and endeavours that may be too niche, unpopular or controversial to gain the widespread support of the general public or the government.

To expand: health and health tech is a great example for this point. Large Pharmaceutical companies pursue drugs that have large commercial value, that can be patented and treat a widespread diseases. But a lot of the illnesses are niche, small, and affect poor populations. In addition to be able to begin trials for FDA approval, you need a lot of money. As a result, small research teams, with potential cures to various diseases, can't even get to the point of starting human trials, because of the cost prohibition, and they rely upon philanthropy grants only.

You can read more in our white paper: https://www.philanthor.com/assets/whitepaper.pdf (https://www.philanthor.com/assets/whitepaper.pdf)

I want to invest in your project. Just wanted to ask if I can propose an organization to transfer the funds to ?

a) As a member, you would be able to select a specific organization (charity, grant seeker, etc...) that are already listed and available.
b) ... and you would be able to suggest new organisations and invite the whole member's pool to join you in the fund raising for that cause.

We welcome you to the token sale, https://www.philanthor.com !

Yes, thank you, im on it at the moment. Very interesting project and interesting thoughts in white paper to read) When will the token distribution take place? October- november?

Hi, the commitment is the end of the ICO, but we may do the first distribution earlier because we may want to begin working with philanthropy causes as soon as the pre-ico ends, to build a strong proof of concept.

Hi, thanks for the question. We will likely show the progress closer to the main sale itself after the pre-sale stage, or when we get close to reaching the target.

This is a very correct decision, other ICO projects are not ready for such a decision, but they are ready to pull the distribution of tokens to the end of the year, because they do not want to work

A perfect place for everyone who likes sharing with one another.
Now they had a place tho share their thought to make the world better with everyone around the world through this PHILANTHOR project.

Information sharing for a good cause. Thats who we are :)

Good! very professional. I really like what you are doing guys. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks!

A good finding has been obtained by this project, and the project has a noble purpose, its useful flames will be better and deserve to be realized, with Philanthor. will later earn a contribution to life. Philanthor is ready to thrive with the geniuses of the blockchain world. Hope the future of this project will be many investors who glance and join for the success of this project.

This is a very unselfish project. It would be nice to make use of crypto to be a blessing to others. I'm just wondering how is the community assured that funds will be properly used and that it will really go to the recipients?

Thank you, we believe in the project and we are very committed to it's success. Not just the ICO but of many years in making social contributions and change.

The ICO is an important catalyst, and we would like to invite investors to join us of course. At this point we are offering the first investors a 50% in the pre-sale tier: https://www.philanthor.com.

Hi,

Thank you, we are most definitely working on a project for good, which we are not only proud to be part of, but excited to bring it to the community to join us (thanks to blockchain and ICO's nature).

With regards to your question:

1. The transactions will be token based and recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, therefore available for everyone to observe - creating full transparency.
2. Due to the nature of blockchain, it is virtually impossible to change and temper with past transactions, so fraud, human errors and manipulation of other kinds is impossible.
3. By using crypto currency, we eliminated (or dramatically) reduce transfer costs, cutting banks and other middle agents from the equation, making sure the recipients get the maximum of the funding.
4. In the future as more and more charities and organisations embrace crypto currencies, the vertical integration would become deeper, and more profound allowing them to pay suppliers, salaries etc.. over blockchain, which means that another level of granulation transparency opens up.
5. As for Philanthor, we'll be audited and we'll publish quarterly and annual reports which will outline which causes were supported and how.

WE hope this offers an answer to the question (?)

everyone is reserving here...lol
by the way, wishing that this project will really take off. most of this type of project that i've seen is not successful.

Join us and its going to take off :) !!! We are seriously committed to its success.

Great, please check out the signup form in the bounty thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4580626.0

The concept of the project is really good, and it also supported by those good team. And also there is a good chance that the project will be doing great.

let's just look ahead to how I also believe this project will be able to compete if the team that is in this project always work together well and compact for this project. hope the best for this project.

Thank you for your kind words, we are excited to be embarking on this journey, I am sure the team will show lots of innovation. We *will* succeed in revolutionizing philanthropy and we *will* make it something everyone can actively take part in.

Thanks, this are encouraging words.

Hey team. It is really good business! Noticing website, seamless logo.

Thanks Rosa, do you happen to know the meaning of the logo :) ?

I have a question.  What benefit will investors get from investing in PHILANTHOR?  Does it make sense to keep token? HODL? Thanks for any answer.

What about presale? how many collected now? Where we can see thus information? I hope PHILANTHOR will be collected sofcap anyway.

We will update as we get closer to the pre-sale targets. During the public sale there will be a counter on the website.

a. The benefit of doing social good. But using crypto currency like fiat for philanthropy in the traditional world.
b. We believe the our philanthropy work will reflect in the token value.
c. The token economics - by using the token as the main driver of funding causes like grants, scholarships, aid, and pre-allocation of tokens into funds, will create a significant circulation of tokens that drives supply and demand and increase in value.

In which country (s) do you plan to run your charity?  What is the role of the PTH token in the platform ecosystem? If I understand you are counting on those investors who do not plan to profit from this investment, and give their funds for what would YOU make the world a better place?

With respect, you may have misunderstood the project, its quiet the opposite actually :

a. Philanthropy isn't charity. Philanthor has dedicated only 10% of its work to charity, the rest will go into long term research into social good.

b. Like any other utility token, there is no direct correlation between the token price and the financial performance of a company. You are not buying shares and the value of the token is derived by the supply and demand and the utility value of the token. In our case, the better philanthropy work we do, and the more usage of the token inside the ecosystem (and outside in exchanges), the increase value of the token is expected.

c. We do not make the decisions alone. In fact, our platform takes directions from our members, who vote, decide and introduce new philanthropy projects and causes. It's run by everyone as a DAO collective, and not by a small group of people like in traditional companies and foundations.

Our foundation is being registered in France possibly in the USA as well, this is at first. And in the future we may operate in additional countries gradually to offer tax deductions to our members. Our philanthropy work will be global.

This points are discussed in more details in the Whitepaper (https://www.philanthor.com/assets/whitepaper.pdf) as well as the token utility and usage.

I think using blockchain technology is perfect for the project being built. Transparency and security are important points so donations can be received quickly, trasnparently and on target. Blockchain technology meets these conditions. In addition, the integration of A.I in this platform will even provide more convenience later on so that the process in the ecosystem will be faster. Very nice concept in my opinion.

Thanks Thaliaand.

Thanks, we have teamed up with a group of real experts in the fields of energy, education, health, agriculture and more ti join us as we progress. I am Very proud of our team.

I agree that Blockchain is perfect, we need more transparency and access to crowd funding and rapid deployment of resources in case of emergency as well that blockchain and crypto currencies can solve and improve for charity and mostly philanthropy.

Thank you on behalf of the team.

A very interesting idea developed by the project and having this objective, and having a useful idea would be better and deserves to be realized, with Philanthor will be able to contribute to life in the future. Philanthor is ready to thrive with the geniuses of the blockchain world

Philanthor-based blockchain that will fix real life problems. Moreover, Philanthor's funds, grants and resources flow gracefully among the causes that reflect the collective will of our members, without geographical, social or cultural bias.

Thanks, looking forward to your support.

an interesting project concept, aimed at building a better society with blockchain technology. multi-functional platforms that will be of great interest to the community. success for your pre-sale, hopefully get a lot of support from investors.

Hello everyone, we just posted a new video introduction. Would be good to hear your feedback:

https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/philanthor-public/video.jpg (https://youtu.be/yYOaOvveFW4)

great project with an interesting concept. provides many benefits with the goal of building a better society using blockchain technology. I hope the team really does this, because many projects with such concepts end up not completing their mission.

Thanks! With the community support and we can make it happen.

It is true that the concept of this project is very interesting, I also see a lot of fair allocation of bounty and I am sure that there will be many participants who join and support this project later.

Yes, we have a great support from translators and social media ehnthusiastics. Please keep it coming.

The team is very committed to the cause, we believe we can have a real impact for social good and at the same time show the world that blockchain/crypto is not only about speculation and money laundering.

Nice video intro

I like the voice over, very soothing .... ;)

How does this Philanthor plan on harnessing a collective intelligence?  now the little people can become a philantropist!! Decentralizing a good deed!

Interesting to see where this goes. In terms of philanthropy, who do you intend to help? am I able to participate in some particular cause?

Once you are a member (owner of tokens) you can bring your own causes on the platform for others to participate.  Or choose specific topics or causes from the once already on the platform. But you need to be a token owner first.

By taking the topics of interests of all our members and building a DAO that operates on their behalf.

For example: a member can indicate that he is only interested in:

Geography: Africa, Asia
Demographic: woman and youth,
Topics: health and education

His token ownership create a weight on these geographic, demographic and topic nodes, and pull the swarm into focusing on these directions. Of course that in the macro level, more people influence and average the graph and decisions become more diversified.
 
More proactive members, can be more assertive than the DAO, and take more granulated decisions of course.

The result is that if a large population on earth thinks we should solve some specific problem once and for all, despite the fact that large corporates and governments ignored it for decades then we can make a difference as a hive mind that share similar values and ideas.

After I see the information in detail,
I am interested in the idea of team projects you apply,
and this is a great job and needs to be in the example of the vision and mission that you apply I fully support your team's work,
and I'm sure your project will be able to lure investors to join your project, I can only say 'good luck for the project You.''

Of course, it is good to improve life on Earth, but how will you do it? Specifically, what is your role? What about your strategy?

Phlianthor is a charitable foundation that works on a blockchain and enables everyone to become a philanthropist. Phlianthor is a collective consciousness of our participants' beliefs about how much better the world should look in combination with the DAO system. Based on the selection of participants, we allocate funds for grants, charitable organizations and other areas that need to be corrected to improve life on Earth. We analyze the data to measure the social consequences of our work.

By improving the lives of those in emerging economies we can improve the lives of everyone. Good team, solid and credible.

PHILANTHOR that will provide a positive impact for the future, and I am sure it will be a lot of attention all over the world

About Pre sale. Pre sale is already live, ends end of August, but possibly earliier. Public sale around September.

you are right, I harp also so, will be finished early sales and success in the next stage.
by looking below hopefully sold and meet the biggest target.
Total Number of Tokens: 2 Billion PTH
Tier bonus: 50% (Pre-Sale)
1 ETH = 15,000 PTH

The idea of the project is very human and nice. It improves the lives of people in emerging economies and can improve people's lives.

Philanthor works to fix real life problems. Moreover, our funds, grants and resources flow gracefully among the causes that reflect the collective mind's will, with no geographical, social or cultural bias.

Thank you FoxICO !

I think that the best place to start is in the white paper that discusses the strategy and plan in details. We would be happy to discuss specific points.
https://www.philanthor.com/assets/whitepaper.pdf (https://www.philanthor.com/assets/whitepaper.pdf)

Thanks Andreas, we look forward to start representing the interest of the community for social good.

Thanks for the support!

Thanks Star!

Hi, I am Ori one of the founders.

If you have a particular cause in mind, we would be interested to hear about it. If you become a member (by holding tokens) you would be able to present you cause to the community of other members and help your cause get more support.

Hi, I am Ori from the team. We are planing to address social issues that reflect the community of our members. Its a DAO system and like any graph that pulls weight towards certain topics. For example If a big majority of the members are interested to find a cure for Alzheimer, more resources will go towards that cause, and we will support leading research teams that are looking for a cure. If the "graph swarm", is pulling more towards woman, youth in Asia, then we will support more causes that reflect those wishes. If there is a natural disaster in an area of the world that represents our members interest, we can send support or donations in that direction.
We will work like any private foundations, but instead of managing it with a limited small team of 2-3 people that take all the decisions, our goals and use of the funds will be managed by the collective intelligence of our members.

People have ideas, and moral values. These are not necessarily reflected in today's world, where decisions are taken based on political views, and capital interests. This is where philanthropy foundations come into place and fill the gap. You can see the work of Gates Foundation for example. They come in and help in areas where governments or financial corporations do not participate enough. We are the same, the only difference is that we want to run it based on the collective intelligence of our members. We like to hear what you are interested to fix in the world, what illnesses, gender inequalities, etc... and act based on those inputs from the members.

hello dev.
heard from the telegram group that this project has obtained a lot of funds from presale, which is my question, whether when the presale is fast and soldout then the ico sale will be the same as the previous schedule or advance faster. thank you

Philanthor makes an opportunity to people who care about environment to change something for the better. I like it.

Since the current bonus/discount is 50%, I would suggest to join now before we finish the current pre-sale. The schedule of the actual crowd sale is still planned to start in September with no change.

Thanks!

Since you have mentioned the Telegram channel, here is the invite link for anyone who like to join the chat: https://t.me/Philanthor
 (https://t.me/Philanthor)

We care a lot about environmental topics, including clean energy and tech, water sources, food safety, animal rights and more... !

https://www.philanthor.com/ (https://www.philanthor.com/)

Hi, if you are considering to join as an investor I suggest that you join now and benefit from the 50% bonus of the pre-sale. Please let me know if you need any help with the process.

Ori

The environmental topics are the most important to me. As one of the founders of Philanthor I'll make sure they get a significant attentions in our line of work.

Por favor, mi pregunta es de qué se trata philanthor?Muy buen proyecto, basado en la ayuda alos demas de manera desinteresada

Hola, puedes consultar nuestro sitio web para obtener más información, especialmente el whitepaper (https://www.philanthor.com/assets/whitepaper.pdf). Y no dude en hacer cualquier pregunta específica.

Gracias.

Hola, ¿cómo estás? ¿Cómo podemos ayudar?

is there still a place to join and get the 50% discount?  Thanks!

Yes, as long as the pre-sale tier is still running, you'll enjoy 50%. We can't promise how long as the cap is $2m for this tier, after-which it will pause until we reopen the crowd sale.

 https://www.philanthor.com

Which coins do you accept?

We accept any of the following: ETH, BTC, BCH and LTC .

You can register and buy them on our website: https://www.philanthor.com (https://www.philanthor.com)

After I buy the token - when can I see it in my wallet?

There is a huge problem with starting a philanthropy foundation out of nowhere for a reason. You mention Bill Gates, but trust has never been an issue since he used his own money and was the richest man in the world when he got started. It's very different when a few guys launch a thread and want to collect investor money to do the same. How much are you putting up to get the fund going? I am not saying your intentions are bad, but there are dozens and dozens of trust issues with this approach.

You will see it inside you dashboard on our website within minutes (after the transfer is approved on the blockchain). After the end of the token sale, you would be able to transfer the token to your own ERC20 wallet, with the one you provided during the registration (that's where we'll send the tokens to), so please make sure to enter a valid address.

https://www.philanthor.com (https://www.philanthor.com)

That's a good point. More than that - this is exactly the point of what we are doing: to allow anyone to become a real philanthropist not only the rich and famous (many of them doing it as a way of saving taxes on their investments and personal assets).

We have pre-allocated about 60% of all the token supply to give away for philanthropy, and another 50% of all the proceeds of the token sale for donations. The whole model is described in the white paper here: https://www.philanthor.com/assets/whitepaper.pdf

Blockchain makes this much more transparent than any traditional foundation in the world today, which aren't accountable to any of their donors. Blockchain solve a lot of trust issues: transparency, traceability and accountability. So if one is ok with donating to any traditional foundation or charity, one should be more than happy with donating to a foundation that is running on a transparent open ledger.

After I buy the token  - can I offer an organization to transfer the funds to?

Absolutely, we will launch the platform following the public sale, and let you choose and/or suggest causes.

Great! sounds perfect.

interesting project in the information submitted on this thread, I also see the allocation of funds on each item developed quite a lot, the total supply of coins is not excessive, what is the price of each coin? where is this coin exchange when listing?

Hi, the price is: 1ETH = 15,000 PTH (with the 50% during the pre-sale phase).

We target to list at the end of the public sale towards Q4 18’, we will announce during the crowd sale which exchanges we chose.

For causes like this the only thing that counts is that you ultimately change something in the world for the better.

Thanks Bober. That how we expect to create value for the members and token holders. By making a small change at a time, even if small, even if we can't change the world, we still can make a difference for a lot of people and topics.

Traditional charity and foundations are broken. >50% of their donors money go to pay banks and other agencies for moving money overseas. Majority of the family owned foundations are simply tax shelters, which they use to protect their assets or invest tax free. Many charities pay excessive salaries and fly private jets to evaluate their prospects receivers.

We are the solution to all those illnesses, the virtual problems you suggest, exist in the traditional model, not in our blockchain based solution. I see more risk in putting money in another coin, blockchain based dating or gaming dev; or some esoteric mining platform, that gives no real value to the eco-system. In Philanthor the risk is that your money will help charity X and not charity Y , that's all, simple as that.

Thanks, well said!

Hi,

Changing a small piece of the world means changing the world as it is not anymore what is had been before the change. The issue for me is that token holders shouldn't be top priority in charity. It is firstly about the causes you want to support.

Token holders which we like to call Members, bring new perspectives. For example just for illustration, if enough members live in an area affected by Dengue fever, which takes thousands of casualties per year in Asia, a virus than most westerners never heard about, then enough "token holders" from those areas, can create a movement in Philanthor's swarm to support research for a cure.

Thank you for the support. Glad you liked the logo, do you know what it represents?

Thank you for your kind words, please consider joining as a member and buying the token to help us take this idea (and the work we have already done) and make it reality. We (that includes you!) can make real positive change.

I like the logo too, and also the idea and it make sense to me unlike a lot of other ICO.
Does the logo represent something? I just thought it was a bunch of connected blocks (like a block-chain?)

Will you create groups with the same belief using the token or Philanthor protocol? Is it necessary for the data to be verified to participate in the pre-sale?

Thank you for the information. of course I will participate in this project. but maybe I will join in icosale because now I just raise funds for it. hopefully for ico sale will be as soon as presale that immediately sold everything :)

I think it is a very nice project!
Very nice results, sensible project.  Good luck guys.

The logo represents the Tree of Life from the Kabbalah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(Kabbalah) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(Kabbalah))

Yes, people who have the same ideas about who to help will pull their weight towards that ideas, either automatically by the DAO, or by introducing new ideas to the collective of the members and asking them to participate in a specific cause or charity.

The Pre sale has a basic KYC, no need to upload IDs, but still need to provide contact details.

Please join us now and enjoy the 50% discount of the pre-sale while it lasts.

There is a start up if I remember that correctly that presents specific research causes (for example like the Dengue fever) and then anybody can contribute to support research. Sure why not have more than one project going this way, but do you expect a lot of parties in this network to be rather interested in personal profits than in supporting good causes?

I think the PHILANTHOR project is very good for the future, with people who are on the team are very experienced in the field and the concept is on the stretcher is great. So there is no doubt that this PHILANTHOR project is very good in the future. Good luck for this PHILANTHOR project.

interesting project in the information submitted on this thread, I also see the allocation of funds on each item developed quite a lot, the total supply of coins is not excessive, what is the price of each coin? where is this coin exchange when listing?

Philanthor works to fix real life problems. Moreover, our funds, grants and resources flow gracefully among the causes that reflect the collective mind of the members, with no geographical, social or cultural bias.

Hi,

The price is: 1ETH = 15,000 PTH (with the 50% during the pre-sale phase)

Thanks. That's great to have such support.

We can't prevent or anticipate people's intention. We think that most donors and philanthropists don't like to mix profits with donations, as it takes away the altruistic motive. However if one wants to enjoy both worlds, we aren't here to judge or prevent it.

Thanks. We hope you join us.

Thanks, we hope you join us too (?)

Thanks, we also want to invite you to our website: https://www.philanthor.com (https://www.philanthor.com)  , where you’ll find a lot more information and the white-paper.

Hi HopeCrypto - please let me know if I can be of any help. And I look forward to hear more feedback from in the future.

Hi Kingtoval - thanks for your positive support.

Hi, we receive hundreds of messages. Can you tell me how to find yours? What is your telegram user and did you write it in the group ?

https://t.me/Philanthor (https://t.me/Philanthor)

Thanks Sherwinaze for the wonderful support!

Hi, what is your telegram handle?

Thanks Tammy, I hope you joined us already.

This is very educating. Learning the difference between Charity and Philanthropy.

Many people use the terms interchangeably. But the difference is quiet substantial.

I think you should focus on some very specific causes in order to get the word out and show that you can make an impact. If you just distribute your tokens and call yourself a philanthropic project people may not believe you. I think you should focus on something to get started and demonstrate how it could work.

Thanks for your productive input. We are actually doing that exactly.

CoinFollow ICO aggregator published Philanthor (PTH) project. Average rating is 8.6/10 at the moment of posting. More details are available here https://coinfollow.io/ico/philanthor

Very well-said. That's why I'm too hesitant with projects like this - charity, philanthropic movement...Because most of the time, they just want to raise money for themselves. Why not provide us proofs first that you can deliver such mission? If you are really philanthropists, you don't need huge money to start with.

1. We have dedicated 50% of the pre-sale and crowd sale to donate to causes. That is the proof of concept.
2. We have vetter already over 100 recipients (charities and grant seekers) for that proof of concept purpose.
3. We have set asside over 60% of all tokens in circulation into funds/buckets that will go to philanthropy activities only - that for the future of the fund.

I request that you read our plan in the white-paper, or direct questions to us to understand the model. Beyond that, if you have constructive suggestions how to prove the proof of concept beyond what we are already doing, we are listening and welcoming such advise.

Thank you :) !

Is their going to be any airdrop activities in your project?

That's great news! 8.6/10 is very respectable (not to mention the 5/5 rating Philanthor got from ICOTrack here: https://www.trackico.io/ico/philanthor/ )

Thank you sansogi!

Please consider joining our growing community at https://www.philanthor.com (https://www.philanthor.com), sign up as a member to access the token sale and show your support by buying some tokens.

Reading all the positive messages on this thread is very heart warming! It is great to see that a public discussion in a bitcoin forum can be about vision, about social good and about community building.

Our community is steadily growing, more members are joining every day. Have you joined Philanthor? Have you participated in our token sale?

Don't wait >>> https://www.philanthor.com (https://www.philanthor.com) <<<

I understand, but will this basic data for KYC validation be only once correct? In the future will it not be necessary to send IDs, or proof of residency?

We are very confident that it will succeed. We are already seeing the community/movement aspect of things start to happen -- you don't need to look much further than the positive comments and support in this very thread (but check out the vibrant discussion on our twitter feed, telegram etc. too!).

Bootstrapping this idea will obviously require some money (but not as much as you'd think... our team has a track record of building robust systems on surprisingly low budgets). The team has been putting in their own money and volunteering their time working on this project for a long time before this initial token sale started. We are sure that our community will help us make this a reality by buying some tokens.

As @Philanthor mentioned, The KYC is basic even now at the pre-sale. You are not required or requested to upload identifying documents or selfies to buy PTH tokens.

For obvious reasons - stricter KYC requirements will be enforced when Philanthor validates requests for philanthropic fund disbursement (e.g. requests for grants or scholarships) to minimize/prevent fraud.

Thank you borezara! please consider becoming a member of our community and participating in the 50% bonus pre-sale event https://www.philanthor.com (https://www.philanthor.com)

The Blockchain Philanthropy Layer. Philanthor makes it possible for everyone to become a philanthropist and make a real social impact. Philanthor's Token Sale is Live!  Philanthor is for like-minded people with shared beliefs, ideas and moral attitudes, who would like to improve life on earth.

It was great experience to see this type of project, I hope you and your team will have a good skills to connect the users, well done guys. :)

I'm pretty stocked to see projects focusing on something as important as Philanthropy
It's about time someone took matters into their hands, blockchain is the way of the future, and we need to address those social issues, obviously

Hi Decibel, Its great to hear more and more people feel the same way. We are encouraged by like minded people !

Hi, If you have any issue with the KYC process that you would like to address in private, please feel free to send a PM

Thanks Pub_g - we do hope you join us :)

I love this comment! This is exactly the mindset we are hoping for -- so many people see blockchain and crypto just as a way to make a quick profit and there's nothing wrong with that, except it is too narrow.

We are trying to take a broader vision, one where blockchain technology can be harnessed for social good. People *are* good. They want to do good, philanthropy is nothing new. It's the use of blockchain to make philanthropy efficient, transparent and accessible to everyone that makes this project special.

I personally would love to see more blockchain projects that have social good at their core.

Thanks AndrewBUD, it's great to have your continous support. It means a lot to us.

This is quite a good answer, actually. I am a bit skeptic about the possibilities of such a project, since many have already tried something in this area but nobody had success yet. However, as people say, there's always a first time... I guess this can succed only if the skills, vision and integrity of the team are at true levels of excellence.

Checked, thanks. I am ready to support the project.

Out of curiosity, do you remember the names of similar projects that didn't make it?

Great, you are welcome.

You are basically right about that, but the problem is how do you know that someone joining your network is a philanthropist?

By joining our network he becomes a philanthorpist.

Thanks Rachel, we hope you join us and become a member.

Most of them I've forgotten by now, I remember many coins already branded for charity in 2014 but they probably just were aiming of enriching the devs and nothing survived as far as I know.
More recently, I've seen this one:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2828871.0

If I'll remember more examples I'll add them.

The plan in the white paper is one thing and execution the other. I would like to see a known organization come forward and confirm that you are serious about this. You are not the first project with a sound white paper asking for money to launch a philanthropic network. This is not against you. Experience just isn't the best when people claim to dedicate themselves to good causes.

this is very difficult to understand, when a project that focuses on the field of charity means the project is looking for investors who do not expect profits because the result of the purchase of tokens is for charity, what will be like that? are there no benefits gained from this field? thank you

This has to be made clear: We are not dedicated to charity. only 10% of our funds are dedicated to charity only, the rest are for philanthorpy activities:
There is a big difference between Philanthropy and Charity. Philanthropy is about investment in social good, venture philanthorpy, grants for research, education, and other social causes for good.
Philanthor is dedicated to help solve the root causes of problems by education and research, not by providing quick remedies like charity.

carried by Philanthor should be to follow the development because this project is very promising and very beneficial to society because it puts social activities

thanks for the explanation, but there is one question that I haven't answered. how will investors benefit from this project? maybe this will make me more motivated to join the sale of this project. thank you

Philanthor will combine the topic of caring, our collective intelligence, and focus directly on doing good for the earth, humanity and future generations.

Yes, to make such an aspect clear is just one little step in a grand project's architecture, but a giant leap for investors's confidence. :)

That is the point: as far as I understand this there is some kind of promised gain as more and more people will want to use this for charity and thereby increase the price of the token or something.

the concept is neatly arranged philanthor that will provide a positive impact for the future, and I am sure it will be a lot of attention all over the world

A little bit of everything is complicated, but in fact it would be interesting to look at this implementation, for this, probably, it will take years.
Did not see the information about soft-cap, it is missing?

Yes. Philanthore projects based on blockchain, this project will fix real life problems. Moreover, our funds, assistance, and resources flow gracefully between causes that reflect the wishes of our members' collective minds, without geographical, social or cultural bias.

This is a meaningful project, Philanthor will help improve life on earth, creating a good impact on society.

interesting project in the information submitted on this thread, I also see the allocation of funds on each item developed quite a lot, the total supply of coins is not excessive, what is the price of each coin? where is this coin exchange when listing?

Sharing is caring :)  cheers

We need more projects like this. More humanitarian projects. By improving the lives of those in emerging economies we can improve the lives of everyone.

I would disagree with this statement. Joining your network doesn't necessarily make you a philanthropist. I think there is more to that.

Hopefully pre-sale could go according to plan so that in the future the easier it is to advance to the next stage because I think this project is great for developed later.

What's the use case of the token and how will it appreciate in value?

presale has reached half of the target set, and the remaining time is still 1 month more, it should be easy to reach the target of $ 2M. starting next month the market should have started to grow slowly normally, and that will be the right moment for this project to achieve success

The vision of a collective mind is really captivating, but I would like to know if there's a concrete example of how this will work in the real world. Maybe a case of use that you have already presented to one of your partners. Thanks!

Great devs, great community, and a chance to have a slice of a massive global industry? Yes, please. Wish the developers only good luck and success!

This is a great business, Is the platform open for testing, I would love to work with the API, What are the requirements I need to get started, also is there a bounty program for this business?

Philanthor is supporting causes with focus on youth, gender equality and protection of the environment and wild life, with specific interest in education, food and water safety, clean energy, environment.

https://twitter.com/ruhanifoyej1/status/1038819102842806278

it's true that there is so philantor. therefore I participated in this project because of the amazing project goals.

Donating and being philanthropy are everyone's goals in life, this will be a good trend and the presence of blockchain will certainly be a good tool to facilitate peoples, I'm happy with this project and will invest with a little money.

hi dev. why hasn't the spreadsheet been updated yet? it's approaching the end of the bounty campaign.

Most likely, the bounty program will be extended. Since almost all campaigns are doing this now, it has become much more difficult to raise funds for ICO. People stop trusting ICO ...

this is a very nice cause. I am understanding better now.

When will be ICO? I see CEO active in telegram, but he don't write nothing. Why? What about developing platform? Need more news. Or all over? And Philanthor die? I'm wait more information from developers.

Now goes airdrop in telegram. I hope ICO will be resume soon.. Very many people added for several days in telegram. And yes, CEO active in telegram. Philanthor have great idea.

Its a while that i have checked this thread. Lots of development.

there is still no new news here. I also often look at the telegram grub philanthor, there is also no information. Maybe someone has good information.
