That's great news! I always wonder why there aren't more NGOs that accept crypto for donations.
Seems easy enough to offer and I would think they want as many people to donate as possible. Makes sense to offer a lot of options.

Since you work there, do you have access to any statistics regarding how much has been donated with crypto?

Thanks Eternalgloom ! For the moment it's not that much, and since you have the wallets to see on the donation page you can check directly and transparently how many was given so far in each crypto. But then again you are right, it would be even better to have a kind of gauge for each crypto for everyone to see quickly ! We will check on how to do that !

People here are having a hard time getting a decent profit because of the bear trend and I think donating to charities now is not a good time, well maybe when we all get have a good profit then why not, we can share all our blessings to those who are in need. Grin

Sharing is caring. Kiss

Thanks Petes, that is true, but we didn't want to wait for the market to be bullish again to give that opportunity, beside there are still people that have made a lot of money and want change things with it and even people that didn't made a lot but still want to donate in that way, as it is a partisan kind of gift.

The ERC angle is what gladens my heart because it means tokens there will start appreciating. This is what has been waited for. Hopefully, we are going to see better days ahead of holders.

Yes we can do that if the news of accepting erc tokens is real.

Thanks, Palle11. It is true you can give your ERC20 tokens on our ETH wallet since we use MyEtherWallet, don't hesitate Grin

Accepting donations in a currency =/= believing in its future. I would call it a stretch to say that UNICEF "believes in the future" of all ERC20 tokens when the vast majority of them are trash. But if they can sell them for Bitcoin or fiat, then sure, donate away.

They also provide links on that page so you can mine on their behalf.

Indeed o_e_l_e_o !

This is very nice for who just got profits from trading and want to give some for charity.
Sometimes we (crypto traders) want to do charity from our profit but too lazy to convert it to fiat. Thanks unicef Cheesy

ha ha Thank you !

Personally, I really appreciate with your effort and UNICEF France to accept donations in BTC and cryptocurrencies (ETH / ERC 20 Tokens). It seems UNICEF giving a good attention on crypto. This should be a good way to get more donations. Crypto enthusiasts also can participate easily by using BTC or ETH (ERC 20).

By the way, I see it is not first time UNICEF utilizes cryptocurrency for donation. At least, I read it in some articles: [...]

True this is not our first step, but still have a lot to learn !

I mean, I doubt they'd go through the trouble of accepting these things if they thought there was no future in them. There's no reason to go through the trouble of accepting cryptocurrency if you think it's a fad that will die in a year or two.

True also, we do believe in the future of the technology, even if we don't believe in every token launched everyday.

Okay that is cool.
But for those who are really willing to donate using this process you might want to go directly to UNICEF.
Yes he says he is working there but there is no proof with that.
Just use google instead.

Totally agree again ! Don't trust anybody saying that he is UNICEF go to the official website with the little green lock in the navigation bar : https://www.unicef.fr
we already had scams saying they were UNICEF and will have again for sure !
