Fire update and ways to help

A wildfire continues to burn near CloudCoin's Northern California HQ, now spanning 141,000 acres (57,000 hectares). The death toll has risen to 63 with over 600 unaccounted. The fire is now approximately 40% contained, but officials fear it will take weeks more to fully suppress. Many Consortium members and their families have been personally affected, as Sean Worthington shared during his CloudCoin LIVE! update last week, standing only two miles from the fire line with smoke visible in the background.

How you can help

There are several ways to help victims of this tragedy: A GoFundMe page has been started to help the displaced family of one of our own CloudCoin Consortium software managers. As we posted last week, the North Valley Community Foundation launched one of the first funds to help fire victims. The Del Oro Salvation Army is accepting online donations. The Butte Humane Society is helping reunite pets with their families and is accepting donations to care for displaced pets. The United Way of Northern California Relief Fund accepts donations by texting "BUTTEFIRE" to 91999. The American Red Cross and AT&T are accepting donations by texting "CAWILDFIRES" to 90999.

Fire threat prompts innovation

The threat of fire and other natural disasters prompted a innovative design for a fully-mobile RAIDA node.

With fires only miles from his home, Sean Worthington quickly assembled a portable RAIDA node built from a battery, a detection agent and a smart phone. "This is everything you'd need to become a founding Detection Agent for RAIDATech ," Worthington said, "Not even a natural disaster can bring down the RAIDA. Founders can receive up to 480,000 CloudCoins over the next 24 months. At 10 cents a Cloudcoin that would be worth $48,000." Email to receive more information on becoming a founding Detection Agent.
