Topic: Project Covid-19 : An approach to support the Bitcoin community - page 9. (Read 8090 times)

Very true. Even if there are not enough spots available in a particular campaign, there are plenty of signature campaigns popping up these days providing opportunities for many quality posters of our forum.

Campaigns are popping up every couple of days in recent times.

This is why I feel that the applicant selected should not be a part of a decent paying signature campaign. Instead, help needs to be provided to those who desperately need money.

I do not doubt Lauda, I believe that Lauda always makes the best decision But to be honest, it's hard to determine the truth, people are not machines, they always lie to achieve their goals. I believe someone will find the lie to get your support. And at some point, confusion can occur and we will help the wrong person. During the last pandemic, I have witnessed many such people. In general, about this one, a part is really subjective

I just met a homeless person who was sleeping by the road late yesterday night, an elderly person, I wonder if that is an object that should be helped?

This is one of the best thing I have seen in the forum. efialtis deserves a big applause to bring it into my attention. Today we have a poker tournament and I will be joining the tourney. I have already announced if I win then I will donate 50% of my winnings in this project fund.


I am also planning to give out 10% of my signature earning to this cause. I withdraw my earning every after 4 weeks which means every after 4 weeks I will be donating 0.006 BTC in the escrow address. Some of you may find this number is a showing off but honestly think about everyone of us who are in signature campaigns already, if you find inspiration from this and donate 10%, we will see in no time we will have a lot of reserved money to support our brothers.

I am very excited and happy to see the activities by forum members.

Good work and you all have my support in it.

Keep in mind that an user meeting the requirements you've written down is also a pretty good candidate for signature campaigns and can earn that money from there.
This just came into my mind and thought it may worth sharing. I know that there are not enough spots for everybody in these campaigns though.

Does this mean that the fund will be kept here and used to support the disadvantaged anywhere? And those who are in difficulty will have to ask you to receive support, right? If so, I have a question, how do we know who is really difficult? Who really needs aid? What if someone lied to get the money? It is difficult to identify these things if we are not in a specific place

I also see that you are preparing for a new topic, please let me know if you do it, a translation for it is needed  

I'll adapt when there will be a few more changes. For now I've seen only the translation, which is not really relevant for the translated topic.

You have received help from DarkStar_ and now Lauda Kitty is also here. Great people to make sure that what you do here is safe and transparent. But I wonder, does this program have any links with irfan_pak10's charity program? He also has a donation topic to help people in this pandemic  It is great to see the kindness of this community, I hope you will receive a lot of donations 

Agreed with this. Maybe even get a thread designer on it.

I won't be able to host such an event since I am working full-time from home, but I can provide a couple of tips here and there.

Example:
- Host a contest for best COVID-19 related designs like the Bitcointalk anniversary contest recently.

- Winners would receive some merit and donations for their works.

- These donations would pass to your COVID cause.

I'd suggest that you start a separate thread including the formal definition of the project and related announcements, letting this thread to be a place for casual discussions, new ideas, etc.

I think there is a need for such a formalism. You can lock the thread and bump it regularly and use its link in the signature, Very impressive signature by the way.

The Romanian translation is done https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/proiectul-covid-19-o-variant-de-sprijin-pentru-comunitatea-bitcoin-5245284
I've kept 2 reserved posts, if you want me to add anything let me know.


About the idea:
1. It's not easy to read it all, but the idea sounds reasonably good.
2. There may attempts to abuse this (ask for funds when one is not in trouble), you'll have to be extra careful with that.

Good luck and I wish everybody not getting to need this.

I learnt years ago that helping the people in need is the most happiest thing in the world, i dont  have nuch but some people are still praying and hoping for the little i have. Giving out some portion of the i have to put a smile on somebody face TX ID. Plus wearing the movement code till i join another campaign.

Another great initiative Royse! Found out about this thread through one of the Cricket discussion threads and I absolutely liked what you are trying to do here. Observed many people providing great ideas which is why I decided to share mine.

My idea: Host something similar to the creativity contest held by Theymos last year. Any proceeds collected will help your cause.

Hi, I received Royse777's message about this topic, like what he said, I really missed it, it's good that I can be here. Currently, I have a few works and temporarily I do not have time to help you with the translation of this topic. But I will do it as soon as I can. I hope my contribution will help you with something in the future  The only difficulty is that the Vietnamese section is no longer available on this forum, so I will post it on another replacement forum (soon).

Good news, thank you, DarkStar_ 

Royse, I think it is time to go public. I mean this project needs to be advertised in the forum somehow.

Royse777 has asked me to escrow funds for the project, so here is the escrow address:

@Royse777 Astounding initiative you have taken by yourself. I'm glad to see how an help is going out from all over through a forum and best part is the helper and the delivery guy both are unknown to each other. Just amazing.

God bless you guys. Keep up the great project.

I did it! 

A follow-up for this thread is posted in this subforum for a Lottery With Good Faith as a source of funds for this project.

Thanks for everything Royse, honestly nothing on your part, just one point:
I hope you understand that running a lottery for good faith is not something one could do on his own right. It needs a sort of legitimacy to be provided. I think as the initiator it is on your part to organize a trusted buddy with a very good reputation. I can provide technical support free of charge but I'm not eligible to handle financial stuff like receiving people money and distributing it among members. It is your job to establish the appropriate mechanism for this.

One more point: You should run the campaign asap all over the forum, it is not my expertise too. I can simply offer my signature for free.

Good luck and thanks for the merits, BTW.

Royse,
Buddy, I've been working (well, part-time to be honest) on a lottery drawing for your project in the last couple of days and it is almost ready to be published. The idea is something like this:
People send few satoshis to a wallet address announced by you/project-board in each round and the drawing will take place using the bitcoin blockchain as a source of random number generator (the last 4 bytes of the hash of a predetermined block number) the blockchain is also used as the source for the ticket numbers assigned to each payment(essentially it is what a blockchain is about, sorting transactions). A fraction of the total income of each round is allocated for donation to the Corona Aid Project, a fraction is awarded to the tickets relatively matched against the key (proportionally) and a third fraction is accumulated in a jackpot for a full match, in case.

I'm almost done formally defining this game and if you feel good about it I'd release it tomorrow. I'm also thinking of a piece of code for supporting this idea. For a small number of tickets, it can be done manually but for a few hundreds and more it'd need software to help with sorting and assigning ticket numbers and calculating awards, etc.

How do you feel about it?

BTW, what happened to the idea of getting 2 other forum members involved as the project board members besides you?
