    fedde reacted to Mark Friedenbach in The end of the foundation   
    The last few posts got sidetracked onto a separate unresolved issue, but I think the core question of this thread is resolved: the delayed coin matching will be performed, completing our obligations for 1:1 donation matching, and then the remaining funds will be provably destroyed. The two blockers on this are updating the coin matching scripts, since code atrophy means they no longer run on recent versions of linux. The bigger problem is making sure that the funds being sent out are sent to wallets people still hold the keys to and haven't been compromised. I'll be reaching out to the contact points for the larger donations to make sure that those funds aren't being black holed, or worse.
    The problem with volunteer effort is that it comes in fits and spurts though. The past month I've had ~zero disposable free time due to both our annual company meeting and a drive to get a new feature to crypto currency in general:
    https://www.coindesk.com/master-plan-better-bitcoin-smart-contracts-go-live-year/
    https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2017-September/014932.html
    https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2017-September/015028.html
    This approach to MAST and the opportunity to deploy it quickly presented itself rather unexpectedly, and most of my free time the last month was spent on that. We've hit a milestone though and work on it won't be as crazy going forward, meaning I have disposable volunteer time again. I'll get a dry run of the matching script running, and then reach out to the largest recipients to get signed messages proving key ownership. I can probably process them individually however, and destroy the funds which won't be needed, so the process isn't bottlenecked on a few missing responses.

    fedde got a reaction from Bicknellski in Freicoin 0.9   
    Hi all
    Freicoin 0.9 compiled ok on Lubuntu 17.04 with QT5. 
    There was a problem with compile flags (CXX_FLAGS)  for the QT wallet, once that was corrected it compiled ok.
    How are these set in the Makefile when autogen/configure is run?
    Cheers.

    fedde reacted to Victor in What if Solidar we don't treated as money? [Philosophy and marketing]   
    Before someone hit the BAN button, consider this:
    I was in a meetup about basic income and crypto currencies that follow that path, and we got to a very interesting point.
    Money has three caracteristics:
    1- It is a store of value against time
    2- It is a counting system
    3- It is a mean of exchange.
    So, Bitcoin, a bit like gold, is a great store of value (1), but it is poor in the points 2 and 3 (for several reasons, some do not have to do with bitcoin itself but to its acceptance in the market as money). Euros and dollars try to tackle all the three, but side effects that are not so desirable. On top of my mind, inflation takes wealth from the people and transfer it to the monetary issuer.
    Solidar is by desing a poor store of value. It depreciates itself 20% a year. It is not so much a counting system because  1. there are no prices in Solidar (yet!), and it may be long before we can buy bread at a random corner with a cryptocurrency. BUT it is a great mean of exchange! It is designed to be so, in fact. 
    You get coins for free , and they desapear over time , the insentives are there for you to expend it. So, what if we have a approach on Solidar more as LIKES on facebook or a voting system and less like money. The difference now is that you can give people LIKES (SDRs) not for a post or a comment, but for any thing that they perform that you think it was of value for society. Or as a voting system when you want to ask a population about something, they will only give you SDRs if they think the proposal is worth it. 
    Now it comes the catch. Because we are not treating it as money, people stop wanting to store it (do you know anyone keeping LIKES for himself?!), and would rather use it somehow. The more people use it, the more intrinsic value Solidar will have. Just like LIKES on facebooks, you get infinite of them for free, but companies pay to have people liking their  content! The value of the coin then is not backed up by a exchange, but by people using it.
    Am I crazy?

    fedde got a reaction from Victor in P2Pool Howto (with merge mine Solidar)   
    This is quick guide to get started with own p2pool node that you can merge mine Solidar coin with. 
    I mostly use debian, should work on Ubuntu also. Be aware that you might need to run a version 8 of debian.
    Make sure you have Git installed ( sudo apt-get install git)
    git clone https://github.com/wincev/p2pool.git p2pool This will put the p2pool code for Freicoin in p2pool directory.
    Install requirements for running p2pool.
    sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web Now, grab your coin daemon from freico.in and solidar.it,  install them and get them running.
    Make sure you set the config files.
    nano .freicoin/freicoin.conf This is minimal config 
    server=1 daemon=1 rpcuser=freicoinrpc rpcpassword=yournastypassword rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 Similar for the merge mining, create a equal file with another rpcuser and password. 
    Fire up the daemons 
    freicoind -daemon solidard -daemon Let them sync fully, you will not be able to mine before they are fully synced.
    Then go to the p2pool directory and create a start.sh (nano start.sh)
    #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/python /home/p2pool/p2pool/run_p2pool.py --net freicoin --give-author 0 freicoinrpc yournastypassword \ --merged http://solidarrpc:[email protected]:55888 Make it executable with 
    chmod 755 start.sh When wallets are synced, you can start the p2pool with merge mining by entering
    ./start.sh It should now fire up. Point your miners to stratum+tcp://your_ip_of_server:9638 with your freicoin address as username, password can be anything. Whenever a freicoin block is found, it will try and submit it on the solidar wallet also.
    solidard getinfo To see if you get any solidar coins also into the solidar wallet.
    (i will clean it up this thread, but this is basicly how it's done)

    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 expire them so at some point you just drop compatibility? What date do you choose for that?
    None of the choices there seem obvious, clean, or desirable. The 1wp with dual subsidies is a middle ground. You allow people to voluntarily move coins over and the new chain code never has to understand the old one except as is required for the peg code. You limit the maximum transfer however to something slightly larger than the current issuance. It will take some time for subsidy to play out on the old chain enough to exhaust that peg in limit -- longer if there are substantial lost coins or if people are asleep at the wheel. During that time both chains are operational. But once it is done you can remove the pegin and legacy transaction handling code from the new chain, and the old chain dies off (because subsidy can no longer be transferred to the new chain so it loses value).
    As mentioned by Skaro it is relevant to this thread because it achieves something close to option 3, but in a regulatory compatible way while also incentivizing dual use of the chains during the upgrade process, and solving the old UTXO problem once and for all.

    I have 9.0 on Lubuntu "yakkety" release with no problems running my version of the wallet.
    A progress to 0.15 would be great if we can fast forward that, alot of backward compability will be history with old libs etc etc.

    fedde reacted to Domenico de Simone in Worgl 2.0 - A city based project in Italy   
    Thanks to Magius for introducing me in this topic, and thanks to everybody for appreciating and helping. 
    A necessary premise, is that in this moment there is in Italy a growing debate about complementary currencies and there are several proposals by political parties. The matter is that the most of this people doesn't have any idea about what they are talking, but it's the mode and so everybody must say it's opinion. The other problem is that the Faz Project is based on a theory, and for understand deeply it's working way you must to study a bit, maybe some more than a bit. The most of people, including economist and politicians, like better easy slogans to hard studies. Anyway, the aim of the project is to realize a society in which is possible to give everybody a basic income and to finance economy without interest and debt. It seems a dream but it is scientifically possible. In our project isn't necessary State or any Public administration to participate. The project that we are building in an town of South Italy is founded on a Association of a certain number of enterprises (the most are very little business) and citizens. We found out an organization of 400 business, and for starting are enough, who constitute an Association and a "Consorzio per azioni", a kind of corporate syndication in which every member cannot have more than a little number of shares. The Corporate issue the bonds at negative tax rate ( f.e. ten per cent each year) so that the nominal debt disappear up the time scheduled in the issuing. Those bonds are virtual, as all bonds, and are subscribed by the association that distributes them among the members according to defined technical criteria. A bond issuing at negative tax rate is perfectly legal and doesn't create debt, because the value at the end of the period is almost zero. The members may use those bonds and fraction of them for payment in the community. The idea is to create a rechargeable card in which is possible to have simultaneously the bond and the normal currency, so that the payment may be done using both values. For a certain time (probably a long time), the business can sell their product in Euros and bond, f.e. 50% each. That's because there are many goods that is necessary to buy out of the community, but anyway this means that the most of people may double they spending power. The theory of the project is in our web sites. The project doesn't have boundaries, everybody in the world may participate, even if it starts as a local project and in the beginning the concrete exchanges may occur in the area. Faz is the acronym of Financial Autonomous Zone, and the idea is to build several communities all around the world. After a certain period (not so long) the issuing system is automatic so the project doesn't need a governance. Members are pushed to have cooperative behavior, because it is clear that this is the best way to meet their own selfishness.  
    It would be very interesting to apply the Freicoin /Solidar for the project. We need of course a program for system management, and it isn't easy to built. 
    Thank for your cooperation and understanding.
