Afaik the explorer doesn’t support read-only key yet. Am I wrong? @ning

Nice initiative!

If we were to set up a donation drive for the next shipment of masks, where the team will match any amount donated (1 PRV for 1 PRV), would you participate? Would you tell your friends to participate?

This is a great idea!! I’m definitely in. And yes I’d ask my other Incog friends to join.

Hey, I live in the Seattle area. I can help deliver those if you’d like! Now that I’m part time, I could easy find time to help!

re: seattle area

thank you! a few friends of mine already made some phone calls to seattle hospitals on friday. for now, at least these hospitals will receive the masks.

1. overlake medical center
2. seattle children’s hospitals

note that these are my friend’s personal donations. they’ll also call seattle cancer care alliance on monday. if you want to check on other hospitals, you can skip these for now.

update: we will delay the masks to seattle and ship them to new york first. it looks like seattle will receive 1.5M masks from the government next week, while new york cases are growing exponentially.

re: new york area

we’re calling about 12 hospitals in new york, and so far 3 of them will take the masks.

1. Mount Sinai Hospital
2. Milstein Hospital
3. New York Presbyterian (Queens)

we’ll keep updated everyone.

Please give what you can, every PRV counts (for two!)

Thank you.

Nice! Do we have a goal amount?

[abduraman]

Could you specify mask types? Is there any mask code such as N95 in your hands? An example document for codes.

Would you accept country-specific donations after this campaign? Doctors, nurses in Turkey also need a lot of masks. Depending on your answers, I will try to create a transparent/trustable donation plan and share it here. @ning

PRV sent!

[ning]

i think we’ve found a supplier without a minimum order - so there’s no danger of not raising enough to fill an order.

but obviously the more the merrier! was hoping to raise 10,000 PRV from the community. we’d match 10,000 PRV, which brings us up to 20,000 PRV (10,000 masks).

if anyone here knows a reliable supplier with a lower per unit cost, please connect me!

[ning]

They are FDA approved disposable medical masks.

And of course, please feel free to run your own donation campaign on this website! You may be able to find more cost-effective supplies and shipping methods for Turkey.

If we all join together we can defeat any virus! @ning great idea!

Pt. 2 - Donation received!

The first shipment of medical masks went out this week to hospitals in NYC.

Pt. 3 - Let’s do more.

So far, the Incognito community has raised 2,808.9314 PRV.

That’s 1,404 medical masks! You guys are incredible.

Let’s keep going. This fight against COVID-19 will be a marathon, so let’s keep trying to take care of each other. The core team is continuing to raise money from their networks, and will continue to match every PRV donation, 1 for 1.

Please give what you can, and please share this post with your friends. And of course, please take care of yourselves.

There is still money in the stake account that was attached to my pNode before I started using my own stake. Despite my effort, it didn’t endup in my account. At this moment I am glad it didn’t, now I would like to donate it all to the donation project. Will send the address in a private message.

This is amazing! Nice job guys!
