CRYPTO FOR THE HOMELESS - DUNKIN DONUTS LIKES US TOO!!!! (discounted me too!)

[brollikk]

So I was able to successfully get the employees/manager of a dunkin donuts near my school to support my project. They were really down with the cause and even discounted me even though I insisted they didn't have to. It isn't much but I feel great about spreading the word. Big changes are coming! Thanks again for all the support!

Well it is great that there was a project that would use crypto for a good deed.
This is what we should support but I hope that all of the money that would be collected would all be used for the homeless.

I am not so sure that this is the way to go with a project like this. Homeless people can easily be exploited with projects like this, because most of them do not know what Crypto currencies are and a lot of them cannot read. So some scammer can pay them a few bucks to hold up a piece of paper with a QR code and people would think that the money would go to the homeless people, but in the end it might end up in the scammers pocket.

Please explain how the money or food is distributed to the homeless people and add a "How this works" link on your website.

Taking pictures from random homeless people isn't enough to see this as legit.

What happen to donations you got? Or you just gave them some food?
Don't get me wrong but I think you should keep all receipts from your food purchases and compile it on a file so everyone can see it. If you really mean transparency on your site.

Please put up more information about this project not just some random picture of homeless people holding a piece of paper and bag of foods,
How could we know that the money that would be sent to those address would go to the homeless?
And how could we track the project? how could we know if the funds are being used solely to the homeless and not being used for personal purpose?

It's a great there there are people who would have initiative to help other people thru cryptocurrency. I hope that what yoi have started will grow to something bigger for you to help more people.

Just an advice, you should compile proof of the amount you have received as a donation along with the funds you have used in your own project. This will help build confodence and trust for people who will be willing to help you with your project. Good luck.

That's great. I was also thinking about this and you took the chance away
 Still, it's a far better option as on spreading awareness as they are more interactive with people around us.i hope this can change the world at least some bit.

[hugeblack]

Everyone is trying to put cryptocurrency in the name of being loyal to all the problems of the world. I do not think accepting these currencies for the poor or homeless will make a difference.
Solve this problem much more than the introduction of cryptos.

Do you have the rights to photograph people for donations?

[xWolfx]

Wow, let me tell you that you were sent by God my friend. I was really looking for something like that, thinking about ways to implement such a thing for charity. The most important thing is staying true to yourself and your cause forever.

I will definitely participate, with few right now and later as i grow with more. Really good idea and nice imagination to implement it and spread the word! - The world needs more initiatives like this.

[rdbase]

It is a good thought but many who are viewing this as at some point either the company who does this or the ones who are receiving donations can be exploited along the way.
Best to have crypto remittance company take care of the payments then they pay the company in cash and they give the people their food. So those who are putting in the donations there isnt any behind the scenes things going on with the crypto they are sending to the project.

I’m rather surprised that 4 of the crypto addresses listed on the Crypto for Homeless blog page (BTC,ETH,LTC,BCH) were listed seven months ago in an altogether different scenario (alleged escrow addresses for some kind of Crypto Sales): See https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/9nffsv/i_made_a_facebook_marketplace_page_that_only/ (view entire comments).

I would have thought that clean brand new addresses would have been more suitable …

[Genemind]

You have a big heart for less fortunate people.
It's a good thing that you got the idea of lending a hand for them. However, since it involves money, you should inform
people about the number of donations that you're earning.
It will assure them that their bitcoins are really helping
homeless people.

Indeed, more people especially those in the world of cryptocurrency if they would feel that the cause and the system used can be trusted and transparent. The more a project is open to the community, the better is the response from people who have generous heart and wallet. Just giving a little can help many people eat some foods and maybe also provide some shelter if possible. Charity is one of the many that cryptocurrency can easily help.

Yes I wanted to make a project like that to try and do something good with crypto. But a marketplace just isn’t feasible right now at least not like how I tried. It wasn’t successful at all so I just used the same addresses. I’m a crypto enthusiast and just started this project for fun as well, but I intend on continuing it as long as the funds allow me to!

[brollikk]

also, go to the website guys. I posted receipts and you can easily tell that certain places like halal guys charge $10 per meal. It’s there! Nobody even bothers checking the website before making any posts.

If you take look from the other side it would look like this guy forced hobos in his town to hold papers with crypto addresses and payed them with donuts. At lest that's what you can think about it if you don't know the details.


But the Idea with crypto donations is pretty good and imho it should be promoted even more. People that got a decent summ of money with almost no efforts (I do not consider hodling as something hard) they are more likely to donate some part of their money to someone.

[brollikk]

Again I am posting a TON of pictures of food being given out on my website. At some point you can no longer say that there is even a possibility of me "withholding" from the homeless. I literally go out and give food out to 2+ homeless people every single time for over 9 trips now. The signs they are holding - they all agreed to do it happily so that I can continue doing what I am doing. GO TO THE WEBSITE - LOOK AT ALL OF THE POSTS!!!!!!

http://cryptohomeless.home.blog - proof is all there. Receipts too.

That's actually a good initiative. It might be a bit difficult to actually measure its effectiveness for the people who use it, though, considering that there won't be many people on the street who will have the ability to donate crypto, but it's nonetheless a good idea. The local Dunkin Donuts supporting your project is a good step in the right direction, but again I'm not sure how effective it's actually going to end up being considering the relatively small niche that crypto fills and it's relatively low adoption rate in the world at large.

Could be an interesting entrepreneurial idea, however. Get them involved in crypto and slowly bettering their life's station with unconventional means. They could probably pick up a lot of skills that they wouldn't have otherwise, too. Crypto for the homeless might actually turn out to be a really cool project at the end of it.

I am not against the project but surely there are a lot of people that will think negatively about the project "crypto for the homeless" and just like what you have said those homeless people can easily be exploited to such projects like this but I am hoping that the donations go to the right people and kudos to those people who help the homeless people by giving them some food or drink to survive a day in their lives, it might be a small thing for us but those good deeds will surely help them and reminds them there are still good people in this planet that cares for others.

[Duzter]

Already came across one such initiative done by one of the user of our forum, I'm not sure to what extent the initiative termed successful. We can see more such initiatives to support homeless people. As the cryptocurrency market is gaining importance now this itself is getting used as a medium to support people in need.
