Thx Molly, that you make the registration!
Short description is ok.
I think for the long description we take now the new from Fab:
What do you think?
 

Hi all
 
I have taken the steps to renew the licencse for this IP.Board and see if we can make it as a fundation for the Alliance.
 
I also think we need a neutral meeting ground so i have enabled IP.Content for static pages (great for business lists and other static information) and IP.Chat. I see some post about skype to discuss things, but as far as i see and knowlege people strugle to be online at the same time.
 
Start to air you toughts and we will see where we end up.

According to CoinDesk on 25th November, the Dutch Ministry of Finance (Jakob Kamminga) has voiced that, quote, «Bitcoin transactions will "probably" be not liable for value added tax (VAT)» and that «this is based on the notion that such exemptions apply to payments instruments, which, if the term is interpreted broadly, may include payments in bitcoin.» [Source].
 
And this reflects the main problem for me as a merchant to deal with these coins. The law is so ambiguous that planning ahead and accounting sounds more like a lottery than business. Ironically, some officials have expressed that they will tax bitcoins as lottery winnings. Others again, that it will be taxed as a commodity, and yet others that it will count as an equity or wealth. To say it's confusing would be an understatement. It's not easy getting people to trade using bitcoins when there is no real laws regulating it, and the ones that exist and are used are somewhat archaic-- and were written in a time where these payment-solutions were in the blue. 
 
So what do you guys mean? What would be the best/worst scenarios law-wise? Should these coins be taxed at all? To me, taxing coins would be like putting a tax on people who use inches and feet instead of the meter and litre.

As some of you maby have noticed, there has been implented a referral system so it's time to make it active.
 
This system is based on points so i will let people exchange their points into Freicoin. When you have some points and want to cash out, send me a PM with wallet address and i pay out your points in Freicoin  and resets your score to 0.
 
You will be credited 3 Points if the user does the following task.
 
- Registers via your referral link
- When user has been active and posted at least 2 posts.
 
I will manually check the registrations before any payouts are done to prevent spam and bogus users.
 
Notice: You don't get paid out automaticly, i am doing this manually as quickly as possible so be aware there may be a delay in payouts after you have sendt me a PM with payout wanted.
 
 
You will see your last 5 referrals in the forum index. The link shown is the referal link to give out to new users.

Gathered and ordered some items for the project:

- Seeds
Chillies: Fatalii, Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw, White Fatalii, Goats Weed, Caramel Bhut Jolokia, Turkish Pepper, Black Scorpion Tongue, H&J 2012, Omnicolor
Hemp: Finola, Ovela Ratsastaja x Finola
Herbs&Veggies: Hundreds of different kinds (aloe vera, basil, ginger, milk thistle, dandelion, turmeric, tarragon, sage, beets, broccoli, cabbages, carrots, rutabagas etc. etc.)
 
FG Jigsaw, White Jigsaw and Goats Weed will be grown for sure, as well as some variety of tomato and salad. Also few plants of either of the hemp strains will most probably be chosen, but others are negotiable and can be recommended and requested. I'd like to aim to grow digestive aids and immune boosters since they would be helpful for the elderly folks in the town
 
- Building materials
Wood: I have most of the wood that is needed
Insulation: To be acquired. One of the geezers here in the town will help to find this cheaply.
Walls/reflection: 1.2m x 50m of 98% reflective mylar.
Hanging system: Several meters of modular tracks
The geezer will also help with the designing for modifications + building for no costs

- Grow equipment
Pots: Bunch of different kinds and sizes, rounds, squares, long rectangles, stackable "walls" with pot holes on the side, etc.
Sensors: Temperature, moisture, co2
Controllers: Fan speed, timers, rotators
Water and Air pumps: I have couple of both already around
Lights: To be acquired
Hangers: To be acquired
Looking for cheap LED lights / possibility of ordering parts for DIY. If not available for project start, will go for the ballasts + MH&HPS bulbs.
 
- Grow medium 
Soil: Free of charge from the outside garden
Perlite & Vermiculite: I have about 80L worth of mixture (3:1) around
Expanded clay aggregate: I have 50L of this in the bags as well
Hydro: Free of charge from the well

Depending on plants to be grown and requests for systems, any of these can be chosen.

I did not google myself, but you will see me as the guy who jumps into things with both feet and stays there usually until things work. There is never a problem, you just need to find a way around it.
 
This brought my eyes up for Freicoin as it's different from most coins out there. It gives us a task to make people familiar to use the coin and this community shows the strength to do it. It gives user like me the fun back in projects to use a new type of payment in the applications without going through the big banks.
 
I belive the community here can move mountains once we really get this train moving!
 
All the best!

  BLOCKSTREAM CLOSES $21 MILLION SEED FUNDING TO FULFILL THE “PROMISE OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY”By Inside Bitcoins  Nov 17, 2014 2:58 PM EST
   
NEW YORK (InsideBitcoins) — Blockstream, a firm dedicated to developing “Bitcoin 2.0″ applications based on the cryptocurrency’s blockchain technology, has closed a $21 million seed round. The company, co-founded by Austin Hill, Adam Back and nine associates, gained the funding from high-profile entrepreneurs — including some of the biggest names in technology.
 
“Our nearly 40 investors include many well-known pioneers of the Internet and financial services sectors,” Hill wrote today on the Blockstream blog. “The round was led by Reid Hoffman, Khosla Ventures and Real Ventures, with investments from Nicolas Berggruen, Crypto Currency Partners, Future\Perfect Ventures, Danny Hillis, Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors, Max Levchin, Mosaic Ventures, Ray Ozzie, Ribbit Capital, Jerry Yang’s AME Cloud Ventures and several others. The reason we were able to attract A-list investors is our group of founders and the promise of blockchain technology.”
 
Blockchain is working on projects including:
Smart contracts, legal agreements that are executed on the blockchain public ledger, eliminating the need for lawyers and the exchange of signed documents. Equities trading without centralized exchanges, where users can buy and sell public stock in companies through a peer-to-peer system without brokers. Sidechains, a method of developing parallel public ledgers – blockchains – which allows the creation of new applications on a common platform without modifying bitcoin’s core operational code.

“The blockchain creates the possibility of trustless trust.”
Reid Hoffman, a lead investor, best known as the co-founder of LinkedIn and former COO of PayPal, expressed his enthusiasm for the deal:
 
“For me, Bitcoin is a transformative addition to Internet communication protocols that will create new networks of trust, fuel massive economic ecosystems, and create enduring long-term value,”
 
Hoffman wrote on LinkedIn.
 
“The blockchain creates the possibility of trustless trust. Parties no longer need to know or trust each other to participate in exchanges of value with absolute assurance and no intermediaries. The blockchain protocol doesn’t just enable the trustless exchange of bitcoins. It enables the trustless exchange of any kind of digital asset – domain name signatures, digital contracts, digital titles to physical assets like cars and houses.”

Sicanet has created a Cointopay module for opencart. It was made in close work with Cointopay to integrate Freicoin into their web wallet system as Freicoin at this point had no merchant gateway tools and it was needed.
 
Thanks to Christian and his support team at Cointopay and my team of developers in Sicanet we made a fully working payment processor for Freicoin and other supported coins that Cointopay support.
 
Cointopay can also act as exchange from Fiat to Freicoin.
 
With the latest release of Opencart (2.0) we are rewriting the module and preparing a release during the next few days! I might have a suprise for this release
 
For 1.5.6 you can find it here : http://www.sicanet.net
For 2.0.0 : To be announced!
