Anyone is more than welcome to bring any idea on the table. The ideas will be listed here in details. Another great initiative Royse! Found out about this thread through one of the Cricket discussion threads and I absolutely liked what you are trying to do here. Observed many people providing great ideas which is why I decided to share mine. My idea: Host something similar to the creativity contest held by Theymos last year. Any proceeds collected will help your cause.

The Romanian translation is done https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5245284I've kept 2 reserved posts, if you want me to add anything let me know. About the idea: 1. It's not easy to read it all, but the idea sounds reasonably good. 2. There may attempts to abuse this (ask for funds when one is not in trouble), you'll have to be extra careful with that. Good luck and I wish everybody not getting to need this. PS. Backup archive.is/47zKg

I'd suggest that you start a separate thread including the formal definition of the project and related announcements, letting this thread to be a place for casual discussions, new ideas, etc. I think there is a need for such a formalism. You can lock the thread and bump it regularly and use its link in the signature, Very impressive signature by the way. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I won't be able to host such an event since I am working full-time from home, but I can provide a couple of tips here and there. Example: - Host a contest for best COVID-19 related designs like the Bitcointalk anniversary contest recently. - Winners would receive some merit and donations for their works. - These donations would pass to your COVID cause.

From now on Lauda will get the same information that I will receive too.
You have received help from DarkStar_ and now Lauda Kitty is also here. Great people to make sure that what you do here is safe and transparent. But I wonder, does this program have any links with irfan_pak10's charity program? He also has a donation topic to help people in this pandemic ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) It is great to see the kindness of this community, I hope you will receive a lot of donations

Maybe the dinamic part of the contents can be replaced by giving a link to the corresponding post in this main topic. Like the team part, the table at the bottom etc Replace these sections with saying something: visit xyz link for up to date info. This way you can avoid the hassle of updating the OP everytime I have an update.
I'll adapt when there will be a few more changes. For now I've seen only the translation, which is not really relevant for the translated topic.

The difference here is that we are doing it for everyone in the community, we do not have any specific country or area in target but everyone. Here everyone means a forum user who has given his time and love to the forum in the past and still he is doing the same and for this pandemic crisis he is personally in trouble and do not have any help from anywhere else. If such person ask for aid then, we are going to help them with whatever we have. We do not want them to feel alone.
Does this mean that the fund will be kept here and used to support the disadvantaged anywhere? And those who are in difficulty will have to ask you to receive support, right? If so, I have a question, how do we know who is really difficult? Who really needs aid? What if someone lied to get the money? It is difficult to identify these things if we are not in a specific place ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
I also see that you are preparing for a new topic, please let me know if you do it, a translation for it is needed ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Our goal is to help the user who needs legitimate aid. (so far this is my idea)
Keep in mind that an user meeting the requirements you've written down is also a pretty good candidate for signature campaigns and can earn that money from there. This just came into my mind and thought it may worth sharing. I know that there are not enough spots for everybody in these campaigns though.

This is one of the best thing I have seen in the forum. efialtis deserves a big applause to bring it into my attention. Today we have a poker tournament and I will be joining the tourney. I have already announced if I win then I will donate 50% of my winnings in this project fund. Bitter truth, I have not think that way. If I win anything tonight then 50% of my winning will be going to that pot. Thanks for bringing this to attention.
I am also planning to give out 10% of my signature earning to this cause. I withdraw my earning every after 4 weeks which means every after 4 weeks I will be donating 0.006 BTC in the escrow address. Some of you may find this number is a showing off but honestly think about everyone of us who are in signature campaigns already, if you find inspiration from this and donate 10%, we will see in no time we will have a lot of reserved money to support our brothers. I am very excited and happy to see the activities by forum members. Good work and you all have my support in it.

The hardest part of this project is to verify a user if he is telling the truth. For this reason we needed this board of trusted and experienced users (now we have Lauda, if anyone else does not join then me and Lauda will perform this hardest job). Hard job but doable. We really do not want a genuine user to suffer (miss the aid) for the opportunist (exploiters) around us.
I do not doubt Lauda, I believe that Lauda always makes the best decision ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But to be honest, it's hard to determine the truth, people are not machines, they always lie to achieve their goals. I believe someone will find the lie to get your support. And at some point, confusion can occur and we will help the wrong person. During the last pandemic, I have witnessed many such people. In general, about this one, a part is really subjective
I just met a homeless person who was sleeping by the road late yesterday night, an elderly person, I wonder if that is an object that should be helped?

Very true. Even if there are not enough spots available in a particular campaign, there are plenty of signature campaigns popping up these days providing opportunities for many quality posters of our forum. Campaigns are popping up every couple of days in recent times. This is why I feel that the applicant selected should not be a part of a decent paying signature campaign. Instead, help needs to be provided to those who desperately need money.

We wish we could help but the reality is that we can not help the entire world. Unfortunately this is only for bitcointalk users. My suggestion is that - you are always open to do your personal funding. Like irfan_pak, me and others are doing for the areas they are in. The happiest feeling is in giving and do not miss it.
The fact that I have been helping some of the people I see, I just want to know if you can support them or not ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You're really right, we can't help the whole world, we don't have the economic potential to do that, I can only help some of the people I meet, others not. There are many people out there who are in difficulties, but we cannot do anything else. Every country has different charities, but what they do is only half of what they get, I'm pretty disappointed about it. Anyway, I support your ideas ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

As I advised earlier, do some personal arrangements. You must know that we are a very generous community. If your initiatives creates appeal and provides enough value then it might work.
I really haven't had any initiatives until now ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Personally, I think most users on this forum don't really have too many difficulties. Most people here have technology skills and knowledge as well as a few related fields. These can help them to live without hunger. In contrast, the poor do not have the opportunity to use computers or smartphones, they never know about this forum. So I really don't have any good ideas for them to get help through this forum ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I should let it go

There are also signature campaign which are paying very low and in a month it's not going to be even 40 dollar even for a legendary account. So we can not judge a user based on the criteria of being in a signature campaign. If this is a high paying campaign then the talk is different of course.
I agree which is why I mentioned excluding users who are involved in decent paying signature campaigns (Campaigns that pay around $50 or higher per week). Participants from campaigns that pay low amounts as you mentioned deserve to be looked at. Also, I would focus on members from 3rd world countries primarily when compared to members from 1st world countries for obvious reasons.

I like how you divided people into worthy / unworthy. A person cannot get help because he lacks Merit. Personally, it’s hard for me to make money because I don’t have a computer, but I youngest member here, users of a higher rank think that people like me are scammers.

I understand what you mean by here, but think a little harder ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Living standards in cities and countries are different, $ 50 may be enough for living standards in developing countries, but is it enough to live in developed countries? For example, how do you survive for $ 50 per week in New York? I mean, depending on the situation of each person, people who are paid more than $ 50 per week are not enough to eat for a week. Even the cost of renting a house is a burden if you cannot work ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I am sorry if anyone called you scammer, if anyone does then definitely he is wrong. A new member means scammer is wrong . If it was right then we all were scammers at some stage.
Maybe someone said that most of Newbie is a scammer, and he understood it in the worst way ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I would love to contribute to this project by offering my translation and guidance in Turkish. I only have one condition. Once I complete the translation, Lauda will remove the unwarranted statement she left on my profile a long time ago. Let's have a GOOD impact on the community as a whole.
