FAQ
Q: What's up with your trust rating, why should we trust you?
A: So, I ran an investment fund on the original GLBSE stock exchange, but I closed it down. Some people didn't like the way things went, the fund lost a bunch of money. If I could do it over again, I would do things differently. I have made payments to the people who came forward and told me what they had lost. See the original thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/was-on-glbse-lifx-35775
Other than that, I have had many successful dealings with other people, but nobody has given me feedback.
There is nobody I trust more than myself to run this. If you do not want to participate, that is fine. I anticipate this will grow very slowly. If nobody else wants to contribute, I will still use this as my own way of separating some of my earnings out to set them aside to help other people.
Q: How are we to ensure that our donations are purely for charity sake?
A: The portfolio is open for anybody to look at. There are already a number of charities starting to accept bitcoins directly, so we will start by donating to those, that way the payments will be visible on the blockchain for anybody to see.

Let's do something good together:
Because I think donating money to charities is important, and the people who are making money are the ones who can give it away, I have decided to set up an account on BTCT.co with the name 'Charity' to grow dividends for charity.
I will hold shares sent to Charity, and any dividends they receive will be donated to charities. If an asset is not dividend generating, I will sell it as the share price increases. I will endeavor to make this as transparent as possible. The publicly viewable portfolio for this account is https://btct.co/portfolio/hrc3Cw==
To start things off I have donated 10 shares of BTC-BOND.
When making a donation transfer, remember that the user name is case sensitive, so the initial 'c' should be capitalized. If you would like your donation to be anonymous, please send me a PM first, otherwise I will make a note of donations in this thread.
If anybody wants to donate bitcoins to this, use the bitcoin address: 19esDddyT1RWznX9NNyR7SrZWEaNj3jtdz
Suggestions of charities which accept bitcoins are welcome. I may also convert the bitcoins to USD and send the money to charities, but this is much harder to make as transparent, so I would prefer to donate the bitcoins directly.
This needs a good title, Profit for Charity?
I am doing this as a generous way to make it easy for anybody to donate to charities with the money they make in bitcoin stocks. I am not being payed or compensated in any way.
