Topic: Project Covid-19 : An approach to support the Bitcoin community (Read 8170 times)

I think we do not have much fund left. Let me know the details, I will talk to my partner about it.

You have not. Appriciate all the good stuffs you have been doing for this project. I am sorry that you had to go through all these and clearly it's a misunderstanding.

@Vod, I appreciate what you do in the lending section against the noobs whoes sole intention is to scam others but when it go against regular forum users who are making good contribution to the community, helping the community to shine bright - a little flaxibility does not harm much.

I do not think we all need to be too hard when there are no escrow in a deal especially when it's not coming from a brand new noob account. In some cases we have example of highly trusted escrow who screwed up, example: master-p. There are well built account who are loan scammers, Example: The TYM, ASU etc. How would you think, we coould prevent them? There are certain things which are not in our control. If this meant to happen then it will happen. When a scam is obvious then let's call it scam instead of speculating it.

I am not against escrow, in fact, I encourage escrow but I do not force anyone. It's a choice between two traders. If the buyer is happy to accept a deal without escrow then let it be! I was 100% fine with Mbitr doing the auction without escrow. Thanks yogg for coming forward and save it from further mess.

If I remember correcly, Mbitr is wearing the signature of the project from the very beggining. There are few other users too. One way and another, these people are doing great job for this project. Hopefully these users get a little respect from the community for their selfless contribution.

Cheers.

Those are a nice piece of works. There is already a bid of 3 mBTC. Hopefully more people will see the auction and will consider bidding.

It's going to help this project with 50% of the raised amount so all related. You are good. Wish you and your daughter good luck.

PS: You should be introducing her in the forum with her own anonaymous identity and let her explore the community by her own (I guess she need to be 18+ since we have adult talked everywhere).

Sorry for delay.
It was approved even before you making this post.

I hope everything is good with cabalism13. I have not follow up yet.

Hey buddy, sorry to hear that you are going through hard time. I have sent the information to my partner. I will wait for his response and once he will be online we both will decide something. I will let you know soon. In the meantime please follow the instructions I asked you in Telegram.

Cheers,

bump!

If a trusted forum member comes forward for anyone who he knows in real life and in need to help then we are approving those too. After all we are here to help those who are in need.

Let me talk to Hhampuz and then I will get back to you.

From the last few years I have been travelling and staying in some eastern countries and I know how I feel when I see people around me not been able to have meal for few days/weeks, they are asking food/money from you, I usually take them to the nearest restaurant and feed them first and then if I have spear cash, I try to give them some. I see people sleeping on the street with no cloth on them, you can count the bones on their chest. I have no idea how they survive, but they are living. We made a society, but we never thought to balance it. Rich are getting rich and poor are starving.

I think I understand you a bit buddy. Thanks.

Thanks buddy!

Just to double-check since you sent 0.002 BTC twice, is this your 2nd donation or it was a mistake?

This was first obviously.

That donation from you really helps. Thank you very much. Also thanks for the kind words. It's not only me, there are other users in the team as well who deserve the credits. Without them nothing could be possible so far.

Here is a summary of the amount we have helped to the community during this pandemic crisis:

Total of 1.33454748 BTC which is in today's currency $17,620 (@ $13,200 rate)
And so far we were able to support 10 events.

Cheers,

Thanks for the bump. However, old bumps should be deleted, so I hope you don't mind deleting it. It served the purpose already.

I see it now. Thanks for pointing it buddy.

I am in contact with your guy. He PMed me. I hope we can come up with some support for him. Thanks for letting me know .

Bump!

Very nice to see some contribution from theymos. But the fund was sent to wrong address (a personal fundraise address of mine). So, I transferred it to the address dedicated to the COVID-19 project.

We have an update from the COVID-19 patient, and we are happy to know that. He wrote us that his test is negative. They will do another test after 3/4 days.  I am sharing result of the report but hiding some information.



It feels good, and I am happy for this user.

We did not think such way. I guess we need so study in this. Thanks for your suggestion.

Guys here is a summary of the Project Covid-19 so far,



Spent breakdown,

The pie chart for the breakdown,




Almost every day we receive request. We go through the applications, we drop unqualified applications, sometimes when we ask more information from users - some of them just break the contact. A lot of things happen behind the wall. I, Hhampuz and our investigation team always ensure that we are with the right person. We try our best.

We were thinking to launch a paid signature campaign to get more exposure and to get more donations, but it seems we ran out of funds so until we have enough fund we have postponed the signature campaign. But if you are reading this and if your signature space is free then please help us to spread our words. Please wear the sig code which is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/project-covid-19-an-approach-to-support-the-bitcoin-community-5243099

We need more funds so that we can serve the next Covid-19 patient, the next appeal from the forum user to supply food to his locals, the next users who will ask to give him some hygiene materials for his local community or the next patient who is in dire situation of money to save his life from the life threatening disease they have.

Cheers,

I and Hhampuz agree in some level with you but it is kinda hard to put a boundary against such an appeal. After all this COVID-19 crisis is effecting everyone in one way or other. We have worked with this appeal in last few days and decided to help the patient with some money so that she can continue her treatment.
More is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54730267

Please, PM me and Hhampuz with all kind of supporting documents. Please make sure you write your username + current date on all the documents and image should be very clear. We will see what can we do.

Much appreciate this public feedback. Happy to serve your community. I hope you will find more and more people interested in Bitcoin and you will help your community to with correct information.

Cheers,

Don't make it too hard on you.
Tell the doctor if he sees any patient who is struggling to pay for the medicine - to contact with you. They will meet you in your business place. Take the picture of the prescription like I suggested and send it to us. We will then do our due diligence and give you the money. You then pay for the medicine.

If the amount is not much then pay if upfront from you and give us the receipt. We will pay it back to you after.

I hope this helps?
