Hey everyone… I figured I’d reach out to get some thoughts from the community about this one…
First off, chip implants are somewhat of a “hope for the future” kind of product… people excited about where humans and technology are going tend to be our customer base. We don’t advertise… we have social media channels and sometimes we push those posts as ads, but we don’t really do “advertising” in the typical sense.
Since the start of all out war in Ukraine, people have obviously had other things on their minds… so we are looking for ways to promote DT and implants, but also
-
not ignore the situation in Ukraine, in fact I mean to acknowledge it
-
set up the promotion to put a portion of sales revenue to support Ukraine
-
not look like a war profiteer while doing it
The idea is to create a sale with some simple discounts on certain implant products, but also create a “donate to Ukraine” optional add-on during checkout. The bottom line would be that a flat percentage of all revenue during the chosen time period would go out as support for Ukraine, along with any additional donations collected during checkout, minus the unfortunately necessary fees we incur for taking the donation (processing fee 3.5%, possible B&O tax, etc.). We would create a “Support Ukraine” page with details on donations sent, and update it weekly.
The payout
As for actually making the donation, we are looking for options.
Crypto
The first option would be crypto directly to Ukraine. They listed some crypto addresses on the official Ukraine twitter page, but I have no idea how this crypto is actually being utilized, if at all, to help people right now… or if it’s basically being stockpiled for potential future use, possibly to rebuild… I just don’t know. The plus side here is that we can post the blockchain transactions for public verification… if that’s important.
Military support
The National Bank of Ukraine also opened a special account for supporting the military directly;
Humanitarian relief
The NBUA also opened an account for humanitarian support;
What do you think?
The first question is - is this a good idea or no?
- Good idea. I want to see DT supporting Ukraine.
- Bad idea. Put on a sale but stay out of Ukraine.

If we proceed, what would make the most sense to support? We don’t really want to have to track options for individual choices during checkout as to where it should go, we just want to get a simple campaign stood up asap. I’m leaning toward humanitarian relief personally, but I want your thoughts as to how we should do the payouts.
- Send crypto to Ukraine
- Support the UA military
- Support UA civilians
- I have other ideas and will comment below
