Your Community Needs You!

Right boys and girls,
Having managed to launch the [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,7048.0.html] Community Pay Back Mining P2Pool[/url] and got a few miners hoping on from time to time to donate a few hashes, and also persuaded the hosting supplier to donate the server and connection till at least the end of February, as promised I managed to get some time with ChrisJ at the Oxford meet-up over the weekend.
We had a chat and decided that a good cause for any outcome of this (currently just over 10FTC) would be to turn it into a charitable donation! So as they do the cogs did some turning and I have come up with the following idea.
We pick 4 charities a year and donate 3 months’ worth of effort into raising funds for each. The efforts can come from anyone in any way they see fit providing that things are carried out in an open and honest manor, and I am more than willing to give anyone any support I can.
So to kick things off I’m proposing a cancer charity, as this is quite close to my own heart due to a couple of close calls with family and close friends over the last few years. After further conversations with some of the other guys that where there on Saturday Prostate Cancer was proposed in particular, again this is close to my heart as a very good friend of mine has been diagnosed recently with prostate cancer and is currently battling against it.Hopefully we can help a good cause by doing this and also gain a little bit of publicity for the coin.
So keep your eyes open as I have the first fund raiser in my mind I’m just waiting to try and get a little bit of Kevlars time, and another short chat with ChrisJ before I kick it off.

I love organised living. I have to work on the content for the new site today but will pick this up asap.

No worries mate, still trying to grab Kevlar, hoping to get that side of things covered off tonight if he’s feeling up to it

For now if you would like to offer support throw some hashes at the [url=http://mine-ftc.co.uk:19327/static/]P2Pool Node[/url] 8)
I’m hoping to get something else out tomorrow or Saturday at the latest, so watch this space.

Bump because I think this would be awesome for the feathercoin community.
I often read about the community aspect of this coin on this site. But this, this is a REAL way we can contribute back to a community. I think the efforts could even extend to not just charity but many more things. A mini league sport team, sponsored by the Feathercoin community? I imagine 20+ Kids running around with the feathercoin Logo on the shirts. I’m sure we got someone on these forums that has a kid playing a sport. I don’t. I think Ideas such as Uncle Muddys are excellent and will help bring awareness to the feathercoin community.
