Title: IDEA: Every Bit Helps - Bitcoin charity fundraising website Post by: jack102938 on July 03, 2011, 08:35:34 AM This is just an idea, so thoughts welcome. It could be similar to the justgiving.com website (where people get donations, usually in return for doing a difficult challenge, towards a set target). All money would go directly to the charity/ies of their choice. Using BlockExplorer and a static payment address this would be easy to set up. I think it would help improve the perception of Bitcoin as a useful currency in the eyes of the public. Thoughts?

Get a site up, get some ideas flowing, and come back to show us!

Then all the money goes to that charity directly, or via JustGiving.com Title: Re: IDEA: Every Bit Helps - Bitcoin charity fundraising website Post by: BitcoinPorn on July 03, 2011, 12:57:12 PM I swear one of the Charity sites has something like this set up. I thought there was.
If the charity has a Facebook page, you can take this idea (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25502.0). The whole key is to set up the donation page itself nice for both the Bitcoin and non-Bitcoin user. Promote that page to where it actually has a few donations. I guess $500 to $1000, I am really not sure what people consider a decent amount as far as charity. After enough time passes to collect, present the donation to the person. Say the page is open and people are still giving donations.

I mean to send a $25 donation you would need to send a few dollars also in fees. It isn't really realistic. I think a different coin such as Litecoin would be a lot more practical in this regard.
