In the spirit of giving this Holiday season, YawLife will support various nonprofits, charities and scientific initiatives by donating 100 million LifeCoin, beginning at the end of our crowdsale (and staggered to prevent over-inflation). We have selected 3 visionary nonprofits and charities set to have transformative effects upon humanity and society, and decided to award them 10 million LifeCoin each. After we explain our motives behind each one, we invite you to participate in suggesting your own nonprofits, charities and scientific initiatives for LifeCoin to support. The philanthropic and scientific prospects brought about by supporting these organizations can profoundly impact the future of human life in a positive way. As such, we want to be smart with who we choose to support from the inception of this initiative.

From these humble beginnings, a monumental future awaits. A future where YawLife’s worldwide, distributed supercomputer can aid organisations such as these in their quest to further humanity in new and exciting ways, and lay the groundwork for a better future for all of us. In this article, we also discuss the potential use cases of this distributed supercomputer in various analytical processes that elevate our understanding of what it means to be human… To understand where we come from in the universe, and how we fit into the grand scheme of life. In pushing to reach these new understandings, it is our hope that we can unite humanity and stave divisiveness in society, so that we may strive towards working together as a multifaceted, singular species enlivened by our shared and fulfilled potential.

Without further ado, I would like to start out with the mission statements of our 3 philanthropic pillars, followed by our reasoning for choosing them, and how foraging for LifeCoin will contribute computational power towards scientific advancement in relevant areas.

The SENS Research Foundation:

“SENS Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that is transforming the way the world researches and treats age-related disease.”

Why SENS?

Age-related illnesses are a leading cause of life debilitation. Ranging from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s, to various types of cancers, aging is a common denominator in their prevalence. SENS endeavors to “reimagine aging™,” by curing age-related illnesses and reversing aging. As such, we want to support new developments in this area to improve quality and length of life.

How can YawLife help beyond donating 10 million LifeCoin?

YawLife will use the LifeChain as a worldwide, distributed supercomputer to find better ways to diagnose, treat and cure health conditions, and work towards reversing aging. One focus would be on identified biological instigators of aging, cancer and neurodegeneration and work towards preventing somatic mutation (which contributes towards aging and related illnesses). Just as IBM’s Watson has been deployed in hospitals, it is foreseeable that the LifeChain could one day be even more effective (and/or potentially work alongside IBM Watson) by leveraging more computer power and improved machine learning algorithms.
