Ask HN: CharityCoin - Complementary currency for NGOs

1 pointsby salboaieabout 12 years ago
Imagine a world with a currency that: * can be generated by your favorite NGO in exchange for dollars or euro (one to one) * can be used with many merchants (those wiling to display social responsibility or for other reasons) * allow micro-payments * exchange fees will be used for supporting NGOs's causes<p>I can imagine a SaaS startup providing this service for NGOs. Has anybody tried this before?<p>I would love to have some passionate, native English speakers, serious PR skills and relevant expertise as co-founders (hustlers) on such startup.<p>Thank you!

A system similar with Bitcoin could be usefull (something to guarantee convertibility for merchants)?

I wander of social responsibility is enough to convince merchants to use this new currency.
