MITcoin is a charity project run by the MindHandHeart group at MIT. It is our mission to empower charitable causes by rewarding good deeds performed around MIT's campus.
When you make an account, you're given 1000 MITcoins. You can give these away, but you can't give away coins that you've received.
If someone does a good deed for you, like helping you with a problem set, or baking you a plate of cookies... send them a few MITcoins!
At the end of the semester, all of the MITcoins you've received will be converted to dollars that you donate to the charity of your choice.
