Hey everyone
,
My name's Mike, I'm part of the development team working on Givecoin, specifically in charge of reaching out to charities about cryptocurrencies, getting them on board with GIVE, amongst other. I figured now would be a great time to introduce myself, in hand with some great news:
We've just confirmed partnerships with two nonprofit organizations who've accepted our donations and are looking forward to see what the community has to offer.
Providing financial relief and assistance in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota for families in need. Ahead of the game for charities worldwide, already accepting a range of cryptocurrencies to date. Erich and I have spoken over the phone several times, he's very enthusiastic toward the technology and the potential it might have toward charity organizations.
To make the best use of the news cycle, they're deferring an official press release until Monday, but are ready to take donations. Roerick, their cryptocurrency development director, will be posting in this thread shortly to appease the skeptics, and I'm sure will be interested in any questions or suggestions.
A 501(3)c organization that provides supply and insurance for blood banks, aiming to advocate the importance of blood and plasma donation and to use technology to connect donors to those in need. Phil is also in the process of updating the site with their wallet address, but has received his bounty and is also ready to accept donations. He's just posted the official announcement via tweet @ twitter.com/blooddonation.
...So guys, tweet, retweet, keep on mining, tell your grandma! These are two of many more to come in the upcoming weeks, and we're excited to be on the verge of having something really going on with Givecoin. Please consider donating some fresh coin in their direction, in the spirit of what we're trying to do here. Your constructive criticism and suggestions are valuable to making GIVE as strong as possible, so keep them coming! It was a delayed and bumpy start, but now that everything's running, our full effort and energy are going towards making this happen in the long run.
Mike
