You guys are doing a great service to humanity, I work in anti-trafficking as well. I have applied with you guys again, we will see how it goes this time. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up; if you guys are not already looking into it. Predators and traffickers are starting to encode exploitation material into blockchain technologies, thus being able to profit based on crypto payment for access to smart contract encoded material. It's getting to be a huge problem and the technology to find it is rudimentary at best. I want to chase this, but I work via military funds for trafficking in general so our scope is broader than just child trafficking. That is why I applied with you guys, you are more focused on what I would like to apply my efforts to. I believe in your mission and I personally wanted to thank you.
