H2O Coin (Community Takeover)

First of all, thanks to ThisWeeksCoin for giving birth to the idea of a coin aimed at water charities as access to water is still a problem in the world in 2014 and shouldn't objectively be.

Second, this thread is not a relaunch, it's just a new beginning, the premises of the coin stay the same but the management has changed and therefore we need a fresh thread to be able to communicate better with the supporters

In 2014, access to water shouldn't be a problem but it is because a big percent of (-us-) the world's population don't have clean water in their houses, in their villages, in their cities.

ThisWeeksCoin found that http://thewaterproject.org/ accepted Bitcoin(s) as donations and decided to help them. H2O will then focus on their organization and help them as much as we can.

Each month, some of our pools (official pool will contribute) all the fees it collects, it will go towards www.thewaterproject.org

In the long-term, we're aiming to find non-profit organizations and help them to bring clean water to the people who need it.

Be a part of the small percent who actually gives a damn about people's lives outside of the box.
