UNICEF using coinhive for this LOL  
Have to appreciate this innovation but they can easily make their own platform to mine with few hundred bucks investment and get 100% of the mined coins.

Around 6000 people mining at a time is pretty significant which might drop in future when this news will drop from media.

Looks like We are not only donating to poor children through this, coinhive is also sucking good bucks from our computing power  

That's pretty cool. After the latest Craig Write article I read about him defrauding government grants to buy Bitcoin mining machines and things like that years ago, under the guise of charity or scientific research, I wonder if actual grants can now be given to Australians who will build massive computer systems to support that UNICEF project, if it is officially recognized. Something to consider for people living there!

thanks for the information. this is good news. and I am very supportive. not just UNICEF. but we and all bitcoin users have an important task to help them. especially people who can not afford and poor.

this is a noble deed, we do not forget them, because they are a part of life. and bitcoin can give them a good life

While this is without a doubt good news, I don't think it's going to even be a small percentage of the amount of funding that this group receives -- I doubt it will be ANYTHING or even used at all. You have to think about it, people aren't going to be tossing their machines into utter madness (mining, pretty much taxing their PC's) for charity. I'd rather not do that, and donate my FIAT money to the cause -- maybe that's just me, but that is my view on this topic.

I'd love to see a contradiction.

if it's for a good cause I think I agree with that because few people who know and understand bitcoin if we put aside our little profit in the investment I think it's a good thing and needs to be improved

I guess this is very great initiative taken by the UNICEF Australia to fund bitcoin for charity and i also think that we should also help these children atleast once in our life and should be thankful to the god who have made us capable to this extent that we can afford our home and even bitcointalk.org has also provided a column of donate to help these children and i would also like to donate and help such people when i become capable for donationbut yes transparency is very much necessary for donation because there are some orphanage who not uses  charity money for good cause and they themselves use that money for their personal benefit.

I am all in for charities and I have always said that it is much better using Bitcoin and Crypto currencies for donations to charities, because a much bigger percentage of the money donated actually go to the charity. Not like when you use remittance or Bank services, where a lot of the donated money goes towards fees.

It is strange that they chose mining as a method to generate income, but I guess offering your idle CPU/GPU power and electricity, is just as good as donating money. 

very interesting information, if I have a reward, of course I will give you appreciation.
I agree and feel proud of this news, because I think it would be better for bitcoin.
false news, bad news, bitcoin news fraud issues, it will be in the grave, and will never appear again.

It's unfortunate the virtual mining link you added is sending virus alert to my system however if your news information is real then it's a welcome development for the poor people all over the world to benefit from this amazing gesture.
