@Mark Friedenbach Our explorer runs on ABE, which I don't think is actively supported anymore. I was wondering what has to be done to accommodate Segwit and new tech. For example, could you send me a link to explain the new block structure? Any such helpful references would be appreciated.

We can do that in a support thread @kieranf just so we don't polute this thread.

Here're the new logos for Solidar

Bitcoin or Freicoin? Freicoin obviously doesn't have segwit until we complete rebasing and activation. Segwit is fairly well described in the bitcoin developer documentation on bitcoin.org, but probably the best thing to do is to switch over to an actively maintained bitcoin block explorer. I don't have a specific recommendation but I know here are several.

With a 1wp we cannot expect all coins to move to the new chain -- some wallets are lost for example, so when do you stop supporting old UTXOs? With a spinoff or hard fork it would be possible to inherit the old UTXO set, but at the cost of not being able to deprecate handling the old chain data structures. A sync from genesis requires understanding the old chain up to a certain height, then switching to code that handles the new chain. Alternatively you can dump the UTXO set and import it at the changeover height, but do you still handle old style transactions at that point? Do you flag day ex

Another month passed by, another Solidar income is payed.. enjoy ;-) Merchant functionality is taking a bit longer than planned but its a matter of when not if ;-) (It is planned that you can create as many merchant accounts -0.5 SDR/account- as you like with up to 3 users associated to the account with admin rights).

Well, I'll be ready! With the 0.9 wallet, I learned how to compile it on my Mac, because my linux computer was 32 bit and Windows is crap. Once my home renos are done, I'll be buying a new 64 bit tower to run linux, and will be eagerly anticipating testing/compilling the next wallet! (PS I still think its rather cool that I am the only one running a 0.9 on my MAC :-p)

So, regarding releases...should we keep working on 0.9 for the next release and also start working on a 0.15 rebase for the next after that one?

Well, first of all if one chain is planned to be abandoned after some 1wp period, some coins will get lost there. I don't see the point in doing any kind of peg between 2 currencies with different subsidies (money creation) in different chains. The 2:1 up to 50 M also seems pointless. I don't think another chain helps with the foundation problem in any way. Apart from that, I would prefer a hf to elements features or a spin-off (if we really want a new genesis block) than a one way peg. But I guess we can leave that for other threads.

But i cant find a possibility to change the currency. So maybe it is the only option at the moment to include in the title Solidar to find products offered for Solidar.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace here's the marketplace ready to be used with messenger! actually messenger is used to contact goods' seller by buyer, but through the solidar bot is ready to make transactions!!!

That's fantastic news! I haven't had this one in sight at all! That's so easy, the merchant can set a price in Solidar, you can contact them in messenger, and buy the product with the messenger. Easy as breathing ;-).

Hi Marc, thank you very much for the logo. However i am still undecided to implement the new logo, because it is some work to do and i like it a bit more colorful with more details. Maybe some others can give us input, which version is fitting best for the Solidar coin? Thanks a lot.

Can you expand on that Jorge?

I'll be helpful on the debugging if needed, twisted my head twice on the 0.9 before it woke up from the grave so i might be helpful at other things too

> allow pegs into this sidechain to be doubled in quantity 2:1 so that up to 50M freicoins can be moved from the old chain to the new chain, resulting in 100M on the other side. The new chain would also have its own subsidy so, if all goes well, there is a period of coexistence where both chains are used, until the peg pool is exhausted and the old chain is archived. This sounds, in principle, as a very bad idea to me.

I can't agree enough that we are currently limited by developer time. We need more developers. However I'm very cautious about the ICO craze. ICOs are securities offerings, and doing or promoting an unlicensed securities offering is a serious offense punished by massive fines, jail time, and a lifetime ban of working in the industry. People haven't been burned ... yet. But it's just a matter of time. It can be frustrating to watch developers with nearly zero experience raise huge sums of money for poorly defined projects, and even more frustrating to see the biggest offenders get a pass b

Well it will be mostly testing, thanks.

Correct, of the 20% demurrage 0.02% goes to miners and 19.98% to the basicincome fund. Merged mining only has to do with how the new blocks are found, not with the reward.

Freicoin does not have basic income. It has a demurrage fee of 5% per year. This is achieved be the wallets simply destroying the funds. Simultaneously, 5% per year is newly generated and awarded to miners, 96 FRC per block. In order to come to this zero inflation system quickly, all Freicoin money supply was issued in 3 years. To experiment with alternative distribution methods, The Freicoin Foundation was created and 80% of the 'minted' currency was sent there. No alternative distribution method was ever created and the Foundation funds have been mostly untouched. We recently decided to dest

The Solidar Bot can now be connected to a telegram account. Just send our telegram Solibot @solidar_bot the message: "id". Take that id and post it with the command telegram: "telegram id" to our facebook Solibot. Then you can chat with the bot in telegram like with the bot in facebook messenger..

Hi Marc, it sound a little like you are mixing Solidar and Freicoin. Freicoin has no merge mining, all new coins are now distributed to miners and there is no basic income in Freicoin. And yes a not fixed income has a bad effect on credibility. Solidar has an 99.9% distribution to the basic income fund and 0.1 % to miners. However this can change when price rises (miner reward may schrink). And the 10 Solidar is now enough for something like 300k users if there are more users some day in the far... far... future the payout will be reduced. (4ksat /month is the amount for 8 billion hu

Hi all, me is the one from Italy collaborating with Rik8119 to enhance the Solidar website It's from the start I know Freicoin and in the past I translated the documentation into italian, that unfortunately seems to be lost Me also I'm a developper of an economic system called FAZ (Financial Autonomous Zone) based on demurrage and basic income, but it's...analogic! I mean is not blockchain based, it's a financial system based on negative rate corporate bonds, issued as currency. Here's the documentation of our project in english: https://financialautonomouszone.wordpress.com/english

The Solidarbot is planned also to be active on Telegram and Whatsapp. It is planned that you create a user account with the facebook bot and then use the bot to link your Telegram id to the bot in Telegram, so he knows you are using this app also. In that way you do not need to install the messenger on your phone if some other is already installed.
