@acidyo great reply.

I did contact @ned but I didn't think of your solution of only owning the posting key, that would be the best way to do this. He did say the problem is, he cannot be responsible for charity funds (but I will propose in the future when he is less busy, he has a lot on his plate update security protocols on the site atm...)..

Hopefully we will see some verified Charities coming on board to Steemit soon anyway :)

Completely agree with you RE: future relationship between Blockchain and Charity. Very exciting.

Thanks for sharing you thoughts.
