Mission

Do a Bit of Good is the Worlds FIRST Charitable Giving Hub based on Bitcoin! We are a micro crowdfunding communications platform that connects non-profits and pro-social causes with their supporters in a very personal way! We combine a patent-pending screen-saver with a Bitcoin generation system that allows individuals to select among charitable causes that matter most to them. Organizations create campaigns and upload photo albums which are then downloaded by their supporters screen savers. When a supporters computer is idle, our screen saver displays the campaign images while working to make Bitcoins which are then donated to their favorite charities!

For example, animal rescue organizations can benefit by uploading pictures of eligible adoptable pets and link those images to another site that has more details and adoption next steps specific to each animal such as petfinder.com.

Go ahead and click on "Allie's" picture below to see what we mean!

In this way Do a Bit of Good helps support the core mission of animal rescue organizations by helping find "furever" homes for animals as well as provides a small residual income stream based on their supporters use of our screen saver.

While the images are being displayed on a subscribers screen, their computer will be working to help us solve the problems related to keeping the Bitcoin economy viable, otherwise known as "mining." If our system solves the current problem, we are awarded a share of Bitcoins which we then donate pro-rata to all of our organizational partners.

It really is that easy!

Best of all, its safe and FREE to organizations and their supporters!

So why not sign-up today and start doing a bit of good for your favorite charity?

 

How Can I Do a Bit of Good:

Non-profit organizations exist for one reason, to do some good in the world. A bit of good here and bit of good there.
From helping children become healthy and happy to aiding adults with food and housing -- from animal protection to protecting the environment there's a non-profit out there that shares your passion for doing good. But doing real "good" relies on the generosity of those willing to spend their hard earned coins.
And as much as we'd like to...it never seems like there is enough time to do our bit...
Now your computer can "do good" on your behalf by helping mine for Bitcoins, the new digital currency. You may have heard of Bitcoin and you're just not sure what it is or how it works. That's OK! The great thing is that your computer can turn its' idle processing power into coins to help your favorite charity.
On your own, you can only make a few bits of coin. But...
Through the power of "Strength in Numbers"...
With the innovative technology developed by Do A Bit of Good dot com, thousands of us working together can generate real money for real causes that really matter!
Here's how it works.
1. Simply download the Bit of Good screen saver,
2. Pick your charity of choice, and
3. Let your computer run.
Want to help the animal rescue group in your neighborhood?
Want to help the homeless shelter across town?
Want to help make clean water accessible around the world?
You'll see images from your favorite charities and know that they will receive the coins your computer makes. It's easy. It's safe. And best of all it's free.
When others just like you do the same, this computer donation power adds up, bit by bit, which means more coins for your cause.
There's no money out of your pocket and yet you are still making the "change" you'd like to see in the world.
So join the new Giving Revolution now, download a new screen saver today at Do a Bit of Good dot com. And remember, Every Bit Counts!
