Hi @donald.porter. No worries, apologies myself, I've been really busy too.

I'm also the marketing mngr at Seastar Inn Negril (#1 on Tripadvisor, I'm proud of that 😎), if your coming down it's a great place to stay. Call the front desk and say your a friend and you'll get a discount.

Cheers! Seastar looks like our cupa' tea - charming but cheapish.

and hopefully curb the scamming epidemic that's destroying our image.

Yeah, all the scamming is pretty worrisome. There was a fake Telegram ICO lately that was incredible. And the Bitcoin Wealth scam is now hitting UK/Ireland, with fake newspaper articles, paid actors, everything. (I'm thinking there's a scam-alert niche needing filled here too ...).

We are planning meetups and trying to get Steemit into the schools, it's an easy way to get kids involved early

I've been following similar efforts over in Nigeria and other African countries, spreading Steemit in different ways. Not so much with kids though, which is more exciting I reckon - I keep thinking of what kids could do with all these creative/monetised tools in their hands (other than scamming), if they learned how to use them and had regular access to blockchain ...

I can certainly help here on the Steemit/internet side of things if something can be oganised on the ground.

A simple Jamaican re-steem/up-vote service that donates to schools is a goal. Maybe we can work together on it and share the developer returns.

Honestly, man, I'm thrilled that you say that. A 'charity bot' is exactly what I've been thinking too. I keep looking at the Tree Planter bot in particular, and thinking how that awesome concept could be used in other ways ... But I'm lacking the skills to put a voting bot together, and even if I could I wouldn't want to try it solo .

I'd be sincerely interested in working together on a project like that. Pooling resources and skills and sharing returns. Can you email me at [email protected] with your thoughts on developing a JA worthy cause voting bot? And I'll get back to you pronto with some ideas too.

All the best D
