At SteemFest2 I had a chance to ask @Ned and @justinw about an idea to integrate SMT's into a charity focused platform where users (Donators) receive Tokens in return for their donations. I was glad that they thought it could work!
Since last week I am working on the landing page layout and created a github repository today to track the progress . I invite everyone interested to participate in this project (via utopian.io) to make the site a success and blueprint for other charity sites run on the STEEM blockchain.
*Dochato = Donation / Charity / Token
Current sketch design of the landing page
Next Steps.
I hope to have the landing page completed by mid next week and uploaded to Amazon Web Services. The domain Dochato.com is already registered.
For the backend I need support since this is not really my area. I like to have the site use SteemConnectv2 for wallet, posting and commenting integration.
Further brainstorm sessions are needed to completely layout how the SMT will be setup and distributed. I am open for any suggestions and advice on this to make it a success.
I am working on a more detailed mission statement that will be posted in one of my next updated.
Contribution Funding
- My current plan is set a certain amount of "DCT Tokens" aside and share with the people who help me to implement this project. I am not entirely sure if a "Reward Pool" can be created as part of the SMT creation process, I like to read your feedback on that as well.
Overall I am very excited to work on this project since this is an important cause for me and I am hoping many of you will help me to make this site a reality.
I will provide weekly updates on the progress so stay tuned!
Thank you and all the best!

Very awesome Idea ! This can be an awesome way to handle donation without greedy middle men whom many times abuse charity money and use a lot themselves.
I think this can also be a long time thing where you follow a project under a long time and contribute along with the posted updates of the project so you see with your own eyes how valuable your contribution is

This one? https://github.com/TAMustafa/Dochato You are the user TAMustafa?
If you have plans to translate to other languages, you could add the open source project to Crowdin. I could translate to spanish.
BTW, I am from Venezuela, I was surprised you used my country as example.
Off topic: How I can be part of Sndbox? and/or get upvotes from that account?

Hi yes that is my github account. Once the site is up I will put the project to crowding, there are still too many changes to start with translation at this point but thank you for your support. For Sndbox I think it is a good start to read through their posts, the detailed information on how to become a member are there.

It's ok, lets see how the project evolve. If your plan is to help people around the world, the translation is a must.
Already read some @sndbox posts, nothing really clear, looks like I need to be invited by someone, I don't see any different way to join.

Great idea! All the best... But I think for the value of the DCT to increase, it should be pegged to something (maybe SBD//STEEM). So when users will donate, they will do in DCT. The person in need can convert the DCT and encash. A person who is donating most likely does not expect anything in return. So there could be a reputation system in place, where the more you donate, the more reputation points you accumulate. These reputation points could again be tied to DCT in a conversion ratio which can be decided. Finally, to give incentive for holding of DCTs, maybe an interest of say 4% annually could be given. Just a few thoughts :)

I like your idea; it's definitely a way to give charity in a very short time and a stress-free way. And I don't think that it is very important wether the DTC increases or not. It's much more important, that there is a direct and fast way to donate without anybody being able to take something from the donation.
But I have a question though; what kind of charities would be welcome on dochato? I mean, in your examples there are things like medicine, environment, water pump etc. Will it be possible, that someone asks for charity for persons who commited crimes? Or immoral things?
Btw. there are 3 typos in no. 1 Emma from Venezuela wants .... medicine ;)

Thank you for your feedback! In general I think anyone can ask for charity. At the end people will choose which campaign they want to support. Once the landing page is done I will make sure the spelling is corrected. Thank you.

Who would be the buyer of the DCT tokens? How do you see them increasing over time?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Good question! My current though is that receiving Token for donation will act as an incentive or motivation for people to keep donating.
In addition it might also be an idea to lock the received Token for e.g. 6 month to further decrease the supply which will help to increase the token value.
In general people don't get anything back when donating, so this concept might be interesting for many since they get something (a token) in return which might increase in value overtime if enough people use the platform.
Let me know if you think that makes sense. If you have any suggestions than I like to read them. Thanks.

Sounds good. The only missing part is that why the value of DCT will increase. Who is going to buy the coin?

I’m really starting to see how SMTs are going to not just fit in with but levage on the Steemit Blockchain and community. Looking forward to seeing this project develop.
