The IOTA Foundation announced its partnership with the non-profit organization Refunite, furthering its foresight with partnerships. This collaboration, which is the first of its kind for the IOTA and Refunite, makes a significant contribution to the use of the distributed classroom for social benefit.
unite
Refunite is the largest open source database in 25 countries and serves as a tool to help refugees and warlorded people find their loved ones.
Christopher and David Mikkelsen founded the company in 2009 after helping an Afghan woman find her family, who escaped from the Taliban.
After this experience, the two brothers felt the urgent need for a cross-data infrastructure that could operate around the world and used as a means of collecting and distributing information about lost people.
The lost piece of the puzzle, a distributed cluster for recording and verifying the information of refugees looking for their loved ones, made it possible to contact the founder of IOTA David Sonstebo.
A smarter solution
"With the increase in the number of people forced to leave their homes due to war and such issues, we created refugee camps that will remain for decades and become a city," Sonstebo said. But I thought to myself why not make it smart. The distributed cluster has a lot of potential for identity verification and the Internet of Things, the two foundations for a movement to explore a smart city. "
"Anyway, our cooperation with IOTA provides an opportunity to explore separate but related philosophies in helping people through technology and helping users," he goes on to say. The IOTA is the first publicly available distribution code that will make scalability possible and free from payloads is a good option for refugees. "
Technology is mine
Tangle, the unique IOTA Distributed Booklet Network, is the perfect choice because it can manage the volume of high transaction transactions without having to pay for it. Currently, Refunite helps more than 700,000 refugees in three continents find their families and needs a network to meet the challenge.
Using Collaborative Clinical Technology as a tool to help people, IOTA and Refunite's collaboration is a good collaboration, but the first step in using this technology is to help people in this dimension.
I'm all for helping people, but as usual, there are so many things wrong with this sort of idea that I don't know where to begin. What vetting procedures are there? Do they co-ordinate with local law enforcement to make sure that it's genuine refugees they're helping and not criminals or terrorists or simple economic migrants who are taking advantage of this database?
I've seen this kind of shit happening so many times I can't help but feel deeply cynical about this sort of effort, adding to this. There have been aid workers who have been caught in the past having sex with migrants and so on in the Calais Jungle and this is a reported fact.
Then you have to take into account the ideologies of the people that are in these institutions, are they level headed, rational people who genuinely do want to help? Or are the obsessive, open border anti-capitalists who want to let anyone and everyone in that could do us harm?
These are all things you seriously need to consider if you even intend on supporting these types of organisations. People who help the economic migrants in particular are doing it from an incredibly naive and ignorant position and the EU vice president has even admitted that the majority of these migrants do not qualify for asylum.
