In a nutshell we reuse old computers that would normally end up on a landfill sites and send them out to schools in Africa. If you are able to support us please use the link below. We'll be embracing bitcoin fully and will be setting up a full node in the near future.

Will the Turing Trust be supporting the Bitcoin ecosystem in any other ways?
Yes, in the near future we will be hosting a full node to support the network.

This is what we need, some organization that will support Bitcoin.

We will do our best

Good to see another non-profit organization accepting Bitcoin - especially one in the technology field! It would be good if you could download a soft Bitcoin wallet into the computer before you send them out to Africa. Anyway, would donate some Bitcoin when I am not in a tight budget.

.

Thanks King Jack

I doubt we'll be adding wallets to our computers but one thing we have spoken about is adding a section on Bitcoin and digital currencies to our E-library

Well it is for a good cause, and I would rather see children in Africa benefit from this, than seeing it go to waste in a landfill. I bet the recycle companies are not very happy with this initiative, because they

reclaim quite a lot of precious metals, including gold from these old computers. I know there has been some complaints from some of the African nations, saying that Africa is becoming the landfill for 1st

world countries old mobile phones... I am saying, Go for it... you getting it for free! Keep up the good work... I will donate some.

Thanks very much for your support. It's much appreciated!

Nice job, OP Cheesy

Thanks for bringing this up. Our machines get taken to dedicated e-waste facilities once they reach the end of their life.

Many machines that get donated here in the UK would actually end up being scrapped and dumped in landfill sites so we're reducing the problem not adding to it.

So you're telling me that the people likely to illegally dispose of hazardous waste in UK are ...donating it to you as an alternative?

Because there's not enough of that stuff there already?

Never heard of your organization either, good to see you accepting Bitcoin donations! You'll definitely have success with it. And good to see computers being reused for a greater cause

Thanks very much! We're all excited about this technology and how it can help support our work

Do you have an office in the UK? I tried looking for the Contact info but there is nothing there except some form to fill out.

Yes we are based in Edinburgh, UK. The reason we don't list our address is that people were dumping computers in bulk outside our front door (some in the rain). We are currently open 3 days a week but hope to be open full-time asap. When that happens we will update our website and google with our address
