The @homeless-city project
A few weeks ago, driven just form the idea that someone has to create a virtual home for all the homeless cards from the new game dCITY, this account was started by @detlev on the blockchain.
He sponsored the funds to create the account and as well the first few homeless cards. But this attract a few more people.
People start sending cards
It started with @mfblack as he was sending a Cinema card and @coolsurfer was sending as well a few homeless cards.
Just a day ago, the very friendly @diverse was sending this message:
Hi Detlev I have 50 total homeless + immigrants to donate to homeless-city. Please consider my idea of donating 5% of the city's profits to an organization like Habitat for Humanity that helps build homes for families in need. They often require the future homeowner to work at building the house with the team
I think it would be a great way to accelerate your city and get amazing publicity. I can help with posts about homeless-city to promote it also. I'm not looking for anything for myself but would like to see the project grow and gain publicity. Just 5% and you keep 95%.
and I was overwhelmed and after a minute, the reply was
Hi Diverse, even better. I would donate 50% of income and use the other 50% to grow the account.
Means to get more cards, to get a bit more income and to donate bigger amounts.
Next few minutes @divers account start sending a lot of homeless cards and now the statistics of the @homeless-city looks already like this.
This is unbelievable!
From the blockchain to the people
A plan is born!
As a great community here on #hive we will to grow the account to get some funds to donate this to the following groups
(1) Institute of Global Homelessness
https://ighomelessness.org/ as they provides homes for families in need
(2) https://www.habitat.org/donate/?keyword=header&link=58
(3) http://nationalhomeless.org/references/directory/
This is actual a small initiative, but it is the start and the #HIVE can do it.
Whenever there is 100 USD we will issue the first transaction and as we are on the blockchain, everything is transparent for everybody.
If you have any idea, feel free to help or let us know.
The @Homeless-city statement

Jooo dear @debitcoin, many thanks for your help.
I will not pretend I have understood anything...what are the Homeless cards you are talking about @detlev ? As soon as there is a game involved, I'm afraid I understand nothing, I suppose I'm not the right generation with interest on games...LoL ...but I'm interested at understanding your project though 😊
Hi Barbara,
have a look to the http://dCITY.io game. There you build your own city and after a while there are to many homeless people.
My idea is a city / place for all of them.
Hey @detlev I've just sent you 2 new Homies :P KeepUpTheGoodWork
They will now celebrate with many others....
...thanks!
Amazing initiative! @battlegames will be donating 22 homeless today. Lets get to 100 USD!
Whooot, many thanks!
Great i am sending 25 homeless
Hey @shitsignals many thanks for your support.
Really like what you are doing! Just one question: Will the crime rate increase with an increasing number of homeless cards? Maybe even to a point were you get robbed more often than not? Just wondering...
Otherwise great initiative!
As long as we don't have a bank or other stuff which can be robbed - we are fine
Actually I don't know the effect to the crime rate.
