Got to agree with Gray and Siggy on this… ok for promotion but maybe not fundraising.
Or else maybe I should start a "Siggy needs a new hot water heater" Satsraiser. I should rethink this.
I’d support that! I’ll certainly send you enough for a pot and a candle. The Siggy-cold-water-no-more-satraiser.
In all seriousness, I am nervous about my ability to vet charities. I like the idea of small ones, since we can't make an impact with big projects. Good example: Open Sats. Great initiative, but Jack Dorsey gave them $10 million recently. On the other hand, scam risk is higher with small charities.
You are well qualified to make a judgement (certainly more so than others) but wouldn’t want you to stress out over it.
Small contributions can make significant impact. If you are not sure which charity you could maybe do a poll? I’m not mad on supporting dev projects but rather community based BTC projects..but I’ll go with the masses on here. I would like to see a rotating range of charities in an ideal SN world.
I have a community based project bias too. It's just a personal preference. I love the idea of helping people for whom daily subsistence needs can be met with bitcoin. But, I also agree we should have consensus. I can make my own donations privately.
Good points all around, and particularly "some consensus" before starting a satsraiser
I would agree with Siggy here. You might have the best of intentions but I think this is more of a geyser fund idea than a satsraiser. My suggestion is start a geyser fund and promote your geyser fund in your posts. Be collaborative, ask for support, feedback, get the community involved.
I think satsraisers should be reserved for existing projects and charities. I would like to see an initiative in action and some consensus amongst SN community that it is something people want to support before doing a satsraiser but that's just my opinion.
I wish you the best of luck with your project.
