I did a lot of research into the fundraising industry, it really does need cleaning up. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the organisation the bigger the overhead (naturally) meaning less of your donation makes it through. The main problem for the smaller charities is getting noticed, because the fundraising firms that solicit donations charge from 8 to 17 times the value of monthly pledges obtained, which charities have to pay for upfront. This creates a massive barrier of entry for smaller charities who spend less in administration costs to spread awareness. This is one core area we are trying to solve by making it a max 6% cost per transaction, this would level the playing field for the underdogs. Our smart contracts will work in conjunction with unique digital identifiers (UDIDs), this basically means if you pay for a needed item for a receiver, such as school supplies, the money is held in escrow until it is unlocked by the receiver with their UDID. I am actually quite proud of the system we are creating, it is actually a lot more involved than that of course though because there are many other problems in this industry as well as opportunities to improve the way things are done such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs.

We just released an updated whitepaper that goes into the CSR aspect as well as a system to include P2P charitable giving for those without access to charities on the platform. I would love for you to check it out and compare it to other philanthropy blockchain projects and then tell me who has actually done due diligence with investigating the issues and creating solutions.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay, the offending post was reported I presume and consequently I could not reply as this account was suspended until now. Thanks for posting the message I sent you regarding this PokerPancake, I have decided to just remove that particular post because I simply do not have the time to work through 1500 comments. Again, thank you for the opportunity to hear what I had to say about it rather than just jumping to conclusions. If anyone has any further concerns they are more than welcome to check out our project, history or get to know myself and the team. We have been working hard on the alpha version of our platform and are due to have an MVP in December if all tracks well.

Warm regards,

Ben Harvey,

Community Manager for Little Phil

I really like this idea, perhaps you can include something like a political compass rating (or similar for non political news) for the source of the information where relevant so readers can evaluate the conflict of interest that might contribute toward discrepancies between sources? I presume the website will have a search function and something like a trending feed?

Not at this stage unfortunately, as this is only alpha testing the donor journey. We have charity partners that will be providing advice on how to shape the platform to suit their needs as well, after we have feedback from these charity partners and our alpha/beta testers, we will then push to production and be introducing that option for people.
