Trusting a third party or escrow is not possible with Donationcoin as we are the developers and solely responsible for this coin as its not a product but a crypto currency that in itself is a big responsibility. Soon we will be adding more charities as we are in contact with them daily many have approved but they dont understand crypto currency and need some training first. Even you know an average joe on the street doesn't know how crypto currency works. The majority doesn't even know about bitcoin but with time and meetings they will understand what donation coins is. We have set a timeline for our projects and meetings with these charities and you will be updated as we continue to add charities and update the donation system to a virtual system being used for donation coin. Thanks for you input I appreciate it.

Thank you for the reply. The fact is that it is difficult to trust anyone so you're response is correct.

I had a company in mind for the escrow, but there have even been doubts about them relating to raising donations for particular campaigns. I guess we'll have to see if these charities take you up on your offer.

I see you have an affiliated charities link on your homepage for charities which have taken you up on your offer. This is great so people know which charities have accept their donation. Right now we have one, but more will follow.

Here's a list of about 100 charities which are rated 4 star by charity navigator which have donations under 3.5 million per year. I would suggest adding some of these to your mailing list as these charities are probably looking for non-traditional ways to increase their donations. It is going to be difficult to bring the Red Cross on board until you have lined up several smaller charities I think and until donationcoin have proven itself. You may be shooting for the moon which is good, but first we need to just liftoff. :p

I wouldn't email to everyone on this list. Autism, cancer, kid and animal charities are all popular I would think whereas some of the charities devoted to the arts or media may be too narrow of a field to consider. If people want to donate to Himalayan Tap Dancers (not a real charity... I hope) then they should probable do an individual donation. Tongue

I would also stay away from politically-charged or controversial charities.

Good luck.

Thanks for your reply we will definitely look into this list and contact the charities we think are suitable for Donationcoin. Thanks again
