Question: Is the wallet currently taking small amounts of every transaction and sending it to the charity address, or has that been disabled?

I believe for the Windows and Linux wallets it goes to whatever address Costas put in there (see above) -- the Mac wallet which is a straight re-compile with a few fixes to get it to actually build includes the https://doabitofgood.com/bit4bit address included.

Whatever automatic donation function is included is at Costas' direction IMHO.

If you want one that doesn't do it, I'm sure we could figure it out.

If you want one that doesn't do it??

This is a CHARITY coin. The automatic donation with every transaction is the whole point, so there should NOT be a wallet that does not have the feature built in. Otherwise the coin has no point to it whatsoever.

LOL -- REALLY? Of course it's a charity coin -- but don't you think people should be able to set or control WHERE that donation is made?

What you should ACTUALLY be concerned about is whether or not charities can obtain any value from it?

This coin, just like every other coin, MUST SOLVE A PROBLEM to be relevant.

Bittrex: The perpetually perilous position proves my point perfectly (say that 3x fast)

WHO EXACTLY is buying the coin? And for what purposes?

No, I don't think you should be able to decide to change the whole concept of the coin. The whole point was that there would be one central charity wallet which receives a 0.1% automatic donation from every transaction, and that those funds would periodically be sold for BTC to donate to water charities, thus putting the coins back into circulation to enable them to raise more funds. Which I think is a great concept, and we finally have a stable and working wallet which does just that.

This coin, without that feature, is not a charity coin. It is just a coin named after a cause. The use and circulation of the coin would provide no guaranteed charitable donations, just like any other coin. I posted a link a while back to a news story about Doge being donated to a water charity. You can use any coin you like to donate to charity FFS. You ask should people be able to "set and control" where the donation is made? They can - by donating directly to whatever charity they choose, in Dollars or Pounds or Yen or BTC or LTC or whatever they like. By choosing to support CWC they are consciously making the choice to support the water charities that this coin is affiliated with. (Through the official Not for Profit organisation that was set up for just that purpose.)

The real problem is that much more promotion and exposure is needed to get the coin talked about and used. We need some companies who are willing to accept CWC as payment, we need facebook campaigns, we need a faucet, we need the official website to be updated ASAP, we need the official exchange (as described on the official website) to be set up. etc. etc. etc.

It has taken long enough to get the wallet sorted out and working correctly so I really don't think there should be any thought about removing features which are intrinsic to its whole concept. I have messaged Zach and he tells me he has moved recently and has been without internet - he works at a marketing and design company ( www.brightoak.com ) so I look forward to his amazing marketing plans which I really hope he will share here with us all shortly.
