Let's Screen Save the World!
"Vires in Numeris" means Strength in Numbers and is the tag line associated with Bitcoins.
We believe that the power of ideas like Bitcoin can be used to "Do a Bit of Good."
Our system helps non-profits and pro-social causes stay connected with their supporters in a unique and personal way through a simple screen saver. We tap into the idle processing power to generate small crowdfunding donations based on Bitcoin that add
up bit by bit.
We want to save puppies! We want to help bring clean water to developing nations! And together we can do it!
Second Chance Animal Rescue for example is already uploading pictures of adoptable pets to our site and their supporters see them on their computers
when our screen saver kicks in.
Any picture can be linked to a website with more information and next steps on how to adopt. And when those adorable cats and dogs are on the screen? The computers idle processing power is working to help us solve the little puzzles that can make bits
of coin which are then donated on your behalf. You help with food, spay and neuter or general operations for Second Chance Rescue to continue their mission. But it's not just about the donations -- we help support their core mission -- to find "forever homes"
for rescue animals. Imagine seeing an adorable dog or cat that you just know your friend would love to have in their life. In this way, our screen saver can literally save lives!
Our system can put a face on your charitable cause and tell a compelling story through the pictures shared. We connect people and their coins in a way that no other communication media can. And we want to use this awesome power to Do a Bit of Good!
Our Initial Need
We will hire our first Community Development Manager to identify and sign-up non-profit partners to fill out our directory. This staff will oversee a small group of paid-interns to help hit the street in search of great causes that could use a bit of good
right about now.
Our system was initially launched with a US centric focus and there is obviously an opportunity to Do a Bit of Good all over the world!
We need to pay for some internationalization support including translations so that we can make our platform available globally -- ESPECIALLY for developing nations.
Since launching our system
we have formed strategic partnerships with both the Givecoin Foundation and the non-profit
Clean Water Coin to add support for their Bitcoin like currencies within our system!
We need to modify our screen-saver a bit to fully support the creation of those and additional currencies.
Our goal of 32,768 is one of those magic computer "powers of two" numbers (2^15) or 32K! We like to think in powers of two (me and you) -- our tipping point is 16K and our stretch goal is 64K :-)
Anything over goal means hiring more Community Development Managers and growing our paid intern program!
Your Reward Creates a "Virtuous Cycle" in Charitable Giving!
Instead of trying to woo you with the usual swag of tee-shirts and coffee mugs (don't we all have enough of those already?) -- we'd like to give you the opportunity to "vote with your dollars" -- for each Reward Level we will be giving you "Givecoins"
the new charity focused version of Bitcoin to share as you see fit within our system!
You can donate them immediately to any of the campaigns within our Discover search engine -- or use it to help bump your favorite charity up to featured status on our main page.
Or just hold on to them until inspired to Do a Bit of Good!
Our big plan is to establish an arrangement with a licensed payment processor so that our organization partners and pro-social causes can "sell" their collected coins within our system for cash because right now we have to send them off to an exchange and
that means less money for our members. We want to have a "click-to-convert" feature that would put the coins into a supporters hands which would in turn be re-donated back to the same or other charities of their choice. It's called "underwriting" and is
a proven method of helping non-profit causes.
In this way we will bring about a "virtuous cycle" in charitable giving!
We can Do a Bit of Good Together!
Our patent-pending screen saver system puts your charitable crowdfunding need on autopilot!
For supporters you get to stay connected to the causes that matter most to you and know that everytime you see an image on your computer's screen you'll be working to "make the change" you'd like to see in the world!
