Blockchain tracked transaction incented by merchant smart contract facilitated donation

A server comprising:

• means for receiving:
• first data fields for a transaction with a merchant having a first merchant account, wherein:
• the transaction was a conducted on an account issued to an account holder;
• and
• the merchant is obligated to make a donation to a donee as a condition of the account holder conducting the transaction with the merchant;
• second, different, data fields for the transaction defined using a second merchant account;
• means for creating a first block from the received first data fields for the transaction defined using the first merchant account;
• means for adding the first block to a first blockchain that uses the first merchant account to track others said transactions;
• means for creating a second block from the second data for the transaction defined using the second merchant account without including the received first data fields for the transaction defined using the first merchant account;
• means for adding the second block to a second, separate blockchain that uses the second merchant account to track other said transactions, wherein the first and second blockchains each track different transaction data fields in the other said transactions;
• means for validating the transaction between the merchant and the account holder by:
• receiving a Globally Unique IDentifer (GUID) for the transaction;
• using the GUID to identify indices in the first and second blockchains;
• retrieving encrypted blocks from the first and second blockchains of the identified indices;
• verifying a hash associated with the encrypted blocks;
• decrypting at least one of the encrypted blocks using a private key;
• and
• transmitting information sufficient to facilitate the donation to the donee according to a predetermined smart contract;
• and
• means, for one or more of said transactions, for receiving usage information from one or more operations performed by an Internet-of-Things (IOT) enabled system the purchase of which was funded by one or more said donations to the donee.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium or media having stored thereon computer interpretable instructions which when executed by an Internet server, configure the Internet server for:

• receiving:
• first data fields for a transaction with a merchant having a first merchant account, wherein:
• the transaction was a conducted on an account issued to an account holder;
• and
• the merchant is obligated to make a donation to a donee as a condition of the account holder conducting the transaction with the merchant;
• second, different, data fields for the transaction defined using a second merchant account;
• creating a first block from the received first data fields for the transaction defined using the first merchant account;
• adding the first block to a first blockchain that uses the first merchant account to track others said transactions;
• creating a second block from the second data for the transaction defined using the second merchant account without including the received first data fields for the transaction defined using the first merchant account;
• adding the second block to a second, separate blockchain that uses the second merchant account to track other said transactions, wherein the first and second blockchains each track different transaction data fields in the other said transactions;
• validating the transaction between the merchant and the account holder by:
• receiving a Globally Unique IDentifer (GUID) for the transaction;
• using the GUID to identify indices in the first and second blockchains;
• retrieving encrypted blocks from the first and second blockchains of the identified indices;
• verifying a hash associated with the encrypted blocks;
• decrypting at least one of the encrypted blocks using a private key;
• and
• transmitting information sufficient to facilitate the donation to the donee according to
• a predetermined smart contract;
• and
• for one or more of said transactions, receiving usage information from one or more operations performed by an Internet-of-Things (IOT) enabled system the purchase of which was funded by one or more said donations to the donee.
