I am not feeling up to developing a Hive dapp just yet, but we have a lot of smart people who could come up with something. I do struggle with the economics of Hive, but as I see it people can donate without reducing their stake if they use votes, plus they get something back from the curation rewards. That has to be an attractive model for charity donations as well as for Patreon type support schemes.

I don't see that the big stakeholders lose out as they can keep earning. If anything you could get people investing in Hive so they can give bigger donations to charities and that could push the price up. There needs to be incentives to invest and this is a good one.

@pennsif has been less active here lately, but he was giving 1 SBD per day to charities on Steem for a while. That relies on you having an income to top it up.

I saw some people were cynical about charities, but I think a lot of people still trust them, despite some spending too much on admin. The blockchain makes them more transparent. It would be easy to show how much they were making.

What we need is a conference about this. It could be on-line. Need a good mix of people to toss ideas around.
