I had this idea to 1. Help people in need and 2. Raise awareness of bitcoin.
We would every year have a week long mineathon. Where you give up your hash power for charity!
We would donate along as the charity lets us have a thank you on their site to the bitcoin miners and a link to a
Bitcoin website. There is two ways this can be done. We create a special pool with no pay per share. Or we get people to direct their miners to the charities login on a good mining pool.
It would be great if the people with a thash setup would donate just 10 minutes of mining time each day it runs! People could just donate if they wanted. I just think it would be nice to raise awareness of the bitcoin.
If people could post charities and which system to mine with it would be great.
This is a bitcoin commitee project. More about the bitcoin committee in the projects section the the forums.
I like the idea of using bitcoin mining for benevolence to raise awareness of bitcoin. You should be able to choose which charities to donate to. Maybe someone could just start a webpage showing how much bitcoiner's have donated to charity in general.
