The UNICEF Innovation Fund is looking to make up to $100K equity-free investments (in USD and/or cryptocurrency) to provide early stage (seed) financing and mentoring to for-profit technology startups that have the potential to benefit humanity.  Applicants have the opportunity to receive a portion of funding in cryptocurrency (bitcoin or ether) through our recently launched CryptoFund. Given the current global climate and a dramatic shift to a digital world as a result of COVID-19, open-source solutions that address critical needs for society are as important as ever.

If you have a start-up registered in one of UNICEF’s programme countries and have a working, open source blockchain prototype (or you are willing to make it open-source) showing promising results, we are looking for you.

This opportunity closes on 26th July, 2020

Yes, I still have lots of confidence in some quite number of altcoins such as ethereum, stellar, ripple, neo and lots of others because they have been established, have use case, have been adopted by many users and have stood the test of time.  At least one can have confidence in the top 10 altcoins on CMC

Very enlightened observation.  Recently I participated in one acclaimed gold backed project named Aureaus Nummus Gold (ANG).  I have not really seen the use case of that project but the developers claimed they are gold backed.  More real information about this ANG would be appreciated.

It is a very good thing now that you know it is possible to make earnings online without physical office, and it is not too late for you realising this.  However, making earnings online is not as easy as you might have painted it, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency.  You have to shine your eyes, makes a lot of findings before you dabble into any online investment so that you won't end up in the hands of the scammers.

These are some of the cryptocurrencies I would have loved to buy before the end of the year
Bitcoin
Ethereum
Dabanking
Tronix
Omisego
Glitzcoin
Oikos
And so on, just to mention few.  Reason being that if the anticipated bull run happens next year, these cryptocurrencies will skyrocket.

I want to believe bounty participants of the Oikos project will now know that it is far from being a scam project.  From the update, the team has yielded to the demand of the hunters to distribute the tokens before the commencement of the second round of the bounty.  I know the project has team members with listening hears.  Are you thinking probably I was paid to do this?  Don't mind me, I wasn't paid at all, I just love the concept behind the project, that's all.

Though it's been couple of days I did transactions on ethereum block chain, but part of the major challenges was high transactions fees. And it wasn't that ETH price really increased like that which coukd have been part of justifications for the hike in gas price.  This is coupled with the slow transactions, I think the blockchain is facing some hitch and I hope it is resolved quickly.

To me, it is not a crime if an idea is repeated, but must be improved upon.  Repeating the same project or idea without any addition or subtraction is what is not good.  There are many dead projects with good ideas, but probably there was no means of developing them and the likes, they were abandoned.  There is nothing bad if such idea is reawakened and repackaged for better implementation.

The point is that, for those that are destined to be scammed, there is no amount of precautionary measures you give or recommend to them, they will definitely got scammed.  I remember three of us have once told a friend of us that the project he wants to invest in is a big scam, very visible even to the blind.  Unfortunately, he went behind us and invest. At the end of the day he lost all his money.

Exactly, there is need to control the way we react to market situations.  Controlling trading and investing emotions is very important for successful outing in crypto space.  If this is not controlled, definitely there would be lots of wrong investment and big losses on trading.

Highly frustrating.  I got a free EOS wallet through infinito and I thought it was a gift to me.  Starting from opening the wallet is a big problem on its own, very slow in opening. In addition, sending tokens out is another frustrating thing.  When I couldn't bear the frustration again, I just uninstalled the application.

Oikos is a very successful project, and it is far from being called scam.  This is not the first time bounties are being extended and hunters been paid eventually.  The team may have some decisions to benefit both the hunters and the project.  We should also try and consider the long term development of the project rather than the immediate gain.  I am very sure the team is tirelessly working to reward the efforts of the hunters.

Well thanks for the report, I have not known much about give away on YouTube.  Well familiar with that of the twitter and some other social media.  Anyway, lots of scams are in give away that's why I don't really put much attention on it again.  It's good to check well before participating so that it won't amount to waste of time and other vital resources.

Thanks for the update, I'm also one of the users of the exchange.  I traded there recently at a lower fee compared to what it used to be before.  This is a welcome development and I hope it will attract more users to the oldest crypto exchange.

Judging personally from the history of past halvings, the effect of this year's halving should culminate in 2021 bull run.  This is one of my utmost expectations.  However, I'm having a little fear, if this year's situation (pandemic) will not have a negative effect on the expected bull run.

Exactly.  Each topic has appropriate section where it fits in or could be discussed.  Topic in the wrong board could be deleted too.

That's is not correct.  Everything depend on your purpose.  There are good altcoins with lots of prospects worthy of holding.  It would be wrong to say ethereum is for day trading alone.  If you are a 24 hr trader, fine, but many altcoins can be held for good number of weeks or months and with a good return.

I am happy to share a project called Smartfund.  I  was part if it in 2019 and I was very glad I did.  This project really gave me a lot of financial leverages.  I first participated as a bounty hunter, where I was able to get about $400 within two weeks.  Later I invested some amount in it and at the end of the day, I made an handsome amount of gain.  I have never come across any other project like that since early 2019.

Going by the history of bitcoin halving, many thought the same price dump after halving would occur this year, but it was another experience entirely as the price of bitcoin was maintained and even improved beyond expectations after halving.  Many people that have dumped their BTC at a lesser price are probably regretting their action now.

At my side here, earnings of each year is not stable at all in crypto.  Someone cannot compare the earnings of 2017 with that of 2019 as an investor.  Well, I have not really invested big money like that, but from around $500 I invested last year, I was able to earn $250.  In the other hand, the highest earn I have recorded so far from bounty in a year was around #600 and this that was 2018.
