Another user suggested using Ethereum smart contracts for this. I'm not terribly familiar with Ethereum, but I wonder if the contract could be designed to automatically forward to a Charity-held wallet, or even the wallet of a reputable intermediary like Watsi.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI'd be incredibly wary of using Ethereum contracts for this. The DAO has shown that writing software is apparently difficult.
- splintercell 9y agoWhat do you think about Tezos Smart Contracts then?
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI've done no research, I don't really know much about the whole... ledgersphere? Seems like it just puts in a mechanism for changing the protocol without forking the chain, but I'm not sure why people couldn't continue running the old protocol, effectively forking it anyway (other than a "look, we all agreed to no forks, you're explicitly a dick if you fork it, not just someone with a disagreement" angle.)
- splintercell 9y agoOh well I was pointing out to the part where their whole codebase is formally prove, plus their Smart Contract language Michelson is functional and can be used very easily to be formally proven (there by leading to writing more secure smart contracts), since you're earlier concern was security.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI don't see that anywhere, although I only googled very briefly. The closest I saw was this: > Updates to the protocol can be required to carry formal proofs indicating that they respect agreed core principles agreed upon by the stakeholders. Which doesn't really make sense; how do you write a formal proof that something align with someone's core principles?
- TD-Linux 9y agoYou can accomplish the same with the OP's Bitcoin implementation just by having the charity own all of the Bitcoin addresses used.
