@Love

Hmm, I just tried on Firefox but no crash. Could you send some more of your system specs so we can try to replicate the issue?

Good work guys! 2 nets donated so far. It doesn't seem like much, but that is two kids who get to sleep without getting bitten by mosquitos.

Thank you for the kind feedback everyone!

@kumiskura

You are right, and I want your help and anyone else who has ideas on how to do this. I want to make the funds 100% transparent and 'trustless''.

Any ideas? I will post a question on the monero subreddit for more suggestions.

@redectro

Our names and reputations are behind this. We are donating everything except server costs.

I'm looking for a way to make donations totally transparent and automatic, and happy to take suggestions.

Our current model is using this:

1. https://xmr.to to automatically transfer the monero into bitcoin
2. then, making that bitcoin wallet public
3. and then, using bitpay's API (with help from Anti Malaria Foundation) automatically donating to them

I'm not sure this will be sufficient, but I suppose this way anyone can verify the amount of bitcoin going in, and where it is going. Very much happy to get feedback on how to do this. Looking for a simple solution that will make all funds 100% transparent.

I don't think smart contracts exist for monero, or we would probably go that route.

What do you think? Would #1, #2, #3 be good enough for users to verify donations?

@zeeks A lot of people won't send money but they will keep a tab open.

@carlisle1 thanks, that's a good point.

So, $2.50 buys and distributes a mosquito net.

A conservative estimate, for how many nets you need to save a life comes from here:

The world's best charity can save a life for $3,337.06

100% of the money they get buys nets.

@fachant Sure...

1. We use https://coin-hive.com which uses your CPU to mine Monero
2. Everything mined pooled together and donated to https://www.againstmalaria.com/ (the #1 rated charity)

You can watch distribution videos here: https://www.againstmalaria.com/Distribution_Videos.aspx

So basically, you are converting energy into mosquito nets.

It is mentioned in the OP... 

Yeah exactly. We use coin-hive to mine monero with javascript, convert to bitcoin, and then donate to Anti Malaria Foundation.

What do the upvote and downvote functions do exactly? Is it a way to sort them? Do upvote and downvote ever reset, or is there a decay?

What's the plan to verify that stories are not faked?

My 2 cents. How does your proposed solution compare to say, an exchange, or another swap network... as there are many online and in the works, many are high profile. Second, your perc for free transactions... it's not very compelling. Perhaps compare the transaction cost to existing solutions would help.

It's likely not as easy as you think. Check out OpenBazaar.

It's a nice little web app. Just some feedback:

Remove the Free blinking text, it makes the site feel scammy.

Reduce font sizes, and increase margins between items

Use Roboto, and make all text the same size (try 2 different sizes, max)

You might think about bringing in a social element... just a brainstorm, but the ability to follow other people's alerts, broadcast alerts to Twitter, alert leaderboard (pseudo-trading), etc. Good luck with your project.

What is the icobox service and what do they provide?
