Story of my life...
😂😂😂
I understand what you mean, so in this 'far from transparent, charity ' con as I see it, it would be great if this is totally dispelled on the steemit side of things..
If you see what I mean.
As any charity should be transparent, that has to include the abliity of background checks of it organizers...
(imagine if Bernie Madrff was an organizer without the ability to check his credentials, for example? lol).
The reason is that after looking at these charities, and the connections, nepotism and 'jobs for the boys' seems to infect a very large proportion of them...
So upfront transparency, and any questions is a good thing, not a bad one..
Are you aware we are steem exclusive, which means all transactions are on the chain, further, we've been operating for nearly 11 months, using thousands in cumulative donations to serve thousands of people in a dozen countries on several continents already?
It's all in the chain. Every last move, and all the heavily documented deliveries during the missions.
I did inquire about this earlier (a few months ago), and you said individual donations couldn't really be tracked...?
(or did i get that wrong..?...sorry if I misunderstood)
Do you have a link to the record of the transactions? A ledger, kind of..?
I would never have said that because we publish them every thursday and have for most of the year.
We dont MAKE donations to cases that only serve individuals 99% of the time. That could be the confusion.
You can find the ledger in the wallet, or in every single chain explorer that exists... steemd, steemdb, all the others that cover the chains transactions...
we also dont track once a donation enters the wallet, through dispensing it. In other words.
10 people donate. We run a mission and spend some. People are still adding donations, we're running missions we can afford. There is no tracking your dollar went to xyz, unless its a special or specific fundraiser, generally marked as such in all the documentation posts.
I appreciate where you are going, but you kinda are asking, does the blockchain do blockchain stuff, here. And it might be best to understand how that works first.
I understand , but it's the accountability I was inquiring about..The destinations etc.
(currency exchanges for example, could be easily abused or misdirected..).
I'm not having a go at your charity, it's the whole 'charity' thing I am looking at, with a very cynical eye.(which is good, not bad, if everything is as it should be of course).
Every 'charity' I have contacted to date, to ask questions about these kinds of things - are nothing but evasive , and not transparent...
But this is kinda the point of YAH, that's literally impossible here. That's why it's hard for me to articulate an answer other than because blockchain because, well, blockchain.
It's pretty hard to get something past 50,000 observant global daily users concerned about their money on a blockchain.
