Extravagant generosity: omisego and ethereum founders donate $ 1 million in omg

The founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin and OmiseGo founder, Jun Hasegawa, have aired they are donating the equivalent of $1 million USD in OMG tokens directly to refugees living in extreme poverty using GiveDirectly platform as the deliverer of the fund.

The donation is what analyst brand extravagant generosity and it is coming just at the same time Ripple donated Ripple $ 29 million worth in XRP to support public schools in US.

According to the statement broadcast by GiveDirectly, “The crypto economy has grown immensely over the last year, bringing a great deal of wealth to many people and organizations within the ecosystem. In part we simply see an exciting opportunity to share that wealth. We hope the fortunes made in the crypto space will lead not to extravagant lifestyles but to extravagant generosity.”

Speaking on the charity action, Omisego in a statement co-authored by GiveDirectly, Omisego, and Ethereum, says “this means delivering financial self-sovereignty through disintermediation. Blockchain technology offers the means to deliver this on a scale that has never been possible before, and OMG believes it can use those means to change the world for the better by decentralizing personal finance.”

In the same statement, Omisego says it is working to decentralize the means to own and wield purchasing power by creating a disintermediated system for storing, transferring and exchanging assets.

Commenting on the generosity, the statement made known that “more than 65 million (are) displaced from their homes…Many also find it difficult to re-enter the formal financial system as they lack appropriate local documentation. They are precisely the people we wish to see benefiting from the “unbanking” effect that OMG is designed to create. We’re excited to plug them back in, transfer funds, and let them get to work.”

A day before the donation was made known, GiveDirectly declared it has flagged off ‘Cash for Refugees’ to take care of the downtrodden in corners of the world since 2017 without a good turn out from people.

“Today, we’re launching a product to enable large cash transfers to refugees. We’re starting with Uganda, where despite very limited resources, more than 1.4 million refugees are being granted basic rights (like education, land, and the right to leave settlements or become a citizen). We kicked off a pilot in 2017 and are looking to scale significantly over the next year, with your help.”

The Thirty Million Token Airdrop

Token Changer is a blockchain platform for distributed financial applications (DApps). We design, build and host a wide variety of DApps. From simple token trading DApps to complex financial applications.

Token Changer is giving away three percent of its total mint in one of the largest and longest airdrops ever done. Our intent is to build an informed and engaged community that has a stake in the future success of the project.

Before our Initial Coin Offering (ICO), you will be able to earn block points (this is like air miles) by engaging with the Token Changer project. At the end of the ICO, block point holders will share 1.5% (15,000,000) of the total number of tokens minted by Token Changer. Those that vest their block points for twelve months share another (1.5%) 15,000,000 tokens.

You should vest your block points for the following reasons. The Token Changer platform is ninety percent complete. We have an incredible DApps development plan. With a motivated community backing us, everything is possible.

Our the next five years, our primary focus will be to build DApps for minting, trading and tranferring stable tokens.

Our plan addresses three huge markets. One, the market for stable tokens -think multi-currency tether. Two, the inter trade of these and other tokens on the blockchain –think user friendly ether delta. Three, the use of stable tokens to transfer value -think faster and cheaper western union.

You can earn block points by taking part in many activities leading up to our ICO. Apart of joining our telegram group, you can pick and choose which activities to take part in. The rest of this article outlines ways to earn block points during this airdrop.

In particular, you get registration block points for joining our telegram group. As an incentive to join our other social media channels, we award higher block points for activities posted on the twitter and reddit channels.

Thirty percent will be sold during the ICO. Another three percent (of TOCs) is been used to redeem block points earned during this airdrop. This three percent has a potential value of $4.5 million (USD) at ICO time.

After the ICO and verification of registered participants, half of the three percent will be exchanged for block points. This is optional, you can choose not to exchange at this point and vest your block points. After the 12 months vesting period, the other half will be exchanged for vested block points.

Next Steps

Join our telegram group. This first step is compulsory. Next, use this form to link your ethereum address to your telegram user name. Finally, use your linked ethereum address to register on our airdrop DApp to receive your first 625 block points.

To recap, join our telegram group. Link your ethereum address to your telegram username by completing this form. Register your linked ethereum address on our airdrop DApp.

Block points earned by an ethereum address on the DApp will be frozen, if the address is not linked to a user name on telegram. We will use mechanical turk or similar tool to verify this linkage.

In recent years translating business documents has gotten easier, faster cheaper and better.

But making sure the confidential contents of those documents do not fall into the wrong hands has become harder, more time consuming, expensive and a huge liability for all concerned.

In 2017 alone an estimated $1 trillion dollars worth of confidential ideas, patents, engineering schematics and insider information has been exchanged through the hands, inboxes and servers of unknown, unaccountable, security agnostic intermediaries called translation agencies. Just so they could be translated from or into English.

If you could find a way to go from low security to max security in one step, while at the same time assembling in one place all the tools, resources and interfaces translators and companies need to work together, then you could eliminate the need to exchange sensitive data through unsecured channels, gain the ability to safeguard intellectual property and also save a lot of time and money.
