Woho my first donation! Lets do something with it!

You know there is an FTC faucet that is looking for donations

Ruthie

I think we should donate to a charity, if we can raise ‘x’ amount FTC perhaps a charity that already accepts BTC would be happy to accept FTC esp if we already ‘x’ amount…?

As said we need to seperate donations

For charity and
For our project FEATHERCOIN/unox

Sounds like a own big project which needs to be managed and coordinated by a choosen member/person

I do not feel faucet is the right way. Instead of giving new members a small amount. i think its better to give “dedicated” members some “extra” appreciation.
Sure its nice to become a new member and have a one ftc or two. But i do think that gathering a project pot is an even better idea.

Just look at justabitoftime/bushstar when they started the FTC, there where bounties to collect for different stuff that needed to be done. This should still be in play.
The comunity donate whatever they feel in a pot, then FTC can use that pot to expand/outsource work that should have been done one the coin.
Just look how fast things where getting done from the comunity when there was an carrot dangling in front of their faces=)

If someone have alot of FTC then contributing to that pot would increase their investment by making it an even better coin to own.

However i do think that creating a “pot” for charity is a great idea. Instead of trying to start something, why not gather a pot beforehand,
Then when the time comes and the pot is large enough we brainstorm about different charities and then have a vote of em.
Its also alot easier to contact a charity and explain “digital currency” when they see that theres allready “money” to be donated

Just my thought…

I’ll have some charity options to share with the community shortly (from my perspective). Talking to quite a few right now, figuring out logistics.

AFAIK no charity will accept crypto, no real charity anyway just plenty of scammers. It’s my opinion that getting ftc into more peoples hands is a much better way to promote the coin instead of lining our own pockets. But that’s just me…

Actually, that’s that true at all. Let’s take a look:

“Love Foundation is proud to be the first nationally recognized 501©(3) charity to accept donations of Bitcoins.”

They were also features on 60 minutes here:

http://www.songsoflove.org/60minutes/

So while I agree we need to get Feathercoin in the hands of everyone, there are recognized charities that accept crypto currency. Do they accept Feathercoin? Well, what do you think I do all day? :) :) A long way to go, but consistent small steps is key.

For those that rather put their coin somewhere else, that’s cool too. Something for everyone… Feathercoin.

If we wanted to get cash to charities, i’m sure a reputable member wouldn’t mind cashing it out and sending the fiat?

Of course proof would need to be provided.

ftc is cryptoCASH, therefore we should look for a cancer charity organisation who accepts ftc … money is money imo.

If we cant find anyone, we simply found one on our own.
A charity project under the bride …

Anyone know of any that supports ftc “out of the box”, and have a good reputation?
Is it one thing I’ve learned in my country is that there is ALOT of “charities” where 99% of the donations are going to the administrational costs and other things that do not benefit the ones that needs it…

Shameless bump

Buy something with your ftc and send it to the organization or better the people who need it - only way you can be sure 100% of your donation goes to the ones who need it

Buy some food and give it to the homeless
Buy cloths and do it the same way

Problem with that is that the streets where i live is filled with gypsys that is poor during the day and bother everyone.
And gets picked up in brand new mercedes when the night comes…
They earn a SHITLOAD begging here…

??? Clueless as it seems ;-)
Ok,

-)buy some toys and give it to some ill children in an hospital
-)Bring the goods you bought to a sozial service
-)Look for poor families and pay theyr electricity bill,…

Social poornes is always around everyone, we only need to open our eyes (self experience)
