UNICEF invites gamers to mine Cryptocurrency to help Syrian Children

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Any sufficiently advanced technology is equivalent to magic. "Sir Arthur C. Clarke" Cryptocurrencies and their revolutionary perspectives are a chance to raise funds witout monetary donation required.

On February 2nd, The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has launched a new fundraising program meant to help finance the needs of protecting Syrian kids. Called Gamer Chaingers, it uses cryptocurrency mining as a method to raise funds without asking for monitory donations.

Indeed for more than 7 years, Syrian children have been suffering in the world's worst humanitarian crisis, on such a scale it over-passes the Syrian borders. For UNICEF, around 8.3 million children need help in Syria and the bordering countries welcoming refugee families. According to estimates, 13.5 million people need a vital emergency help in Syria, 1 million of which are children. Where it one of the biggest humanitarian crisian, they do not reveive any help.

People who wish to participate in the innovative UNICEF program can visit its website, download the mining software and receive simple instructions on how to operate it. According to the displayed statistics on the site, the program already has 50 mining participants as of the time of this writing.
It is really simple. Anyone with a computer connect to a website, and ‘mine’ the Ethereum token via your computer and that coin will go directly into the UNICEF wallet.

Why gamers ?

PC gamers are not exactly the usual crowd that charities target for
fundraising and donations, but they now hold a valuable resource thanks to the invention of cryptocurrency mining. Powerful graphics cards are used to render games faster and with higher resolutions, but they can also be used to generate cryptocurrencies.

While professional GPU miners have their systems running without any down time, gamers have to eat, study, sleep and work once in a while, and thus have plenty of spare cycles to contribute. UNICEF hopes they will be willing to lend their powerful gaming rigs (and the associated electricity costs of running them) during their down times and thus support the charity without having to make a single money transfer.
