Hi Bick,
5,000,000  Rupia is currently 380 dollar = 38 Freihours
I would nominate the loan in Freihours, Freicoin doesnt have enough liquidity currently.
Freicoin price on virco is bettween 0.000001 BTC and 0.000005 BTC
So I would loan directly in BTC.
Nevertheless we could support the project with some Alliance Funds.
All the good to Indonesia,
Martin

The thought we are using abandonware is greatly over stated. 

Thanks. Please keep us updated on the progress.

Great work Mark. This is long awaited update so client does not get stuck. Looking forward to 0.13 release.
Cheers

There's a new release of the Freicoin client for Linux and Windows, version 0.8.6-2, hosted on the official website:
http://freico.in/download/
Note that there was a problem in trying to update the Ubuntu PPA, which I am working to resolve. The recommended solution is to use the gitian-built, statically linked binaries on the website.
The new release contains TWO soft-forks. One is a security update to the consensus rules documented in BIP 66 (strict DER signatures). The other is freicoin-specific: truncation of input amounts. This greatly simplifies the code diff between Bitcoin and Freicoin, making the client easier to maintain and hopefully allow us to bring back regular supported releases in a cadence matching Bitcoin Core: Freicoin releases shortly after Bitcoin's.
The next release of Freicoin will be based on Bitcoin 0.13.x, and is currently being worked on. Because of the changes in the accounting rules, a 0.13 release will be conditional on successful activation of the input truncation soft-fork. So miners & mining pools, please upgrade!

Nice progress Rik. I hope we appreciate your efforts properly.

Thats true, thank you for your effort!
I found out that the problem is that the appeared height (block with the transaction in it), cannot be read from the transaction details. If i set it manually to some random blockheight the wallet starts at least. So i guess its some issue with the protobuffer language that decode the raw data, which i am nor very familiar with. Anyhow at least i can send transactions now. The problem here was that i calculated the demurrage too late during transaction generation.
Rik

lol yea, we should better like it to the ethereum price
I guess soon bitcoin price will also be more volatile, down if etherum suceeds, up if not.
I hope that i contact marc how he wants to proceed with freicoin.
Without having the core devs fixing at least the basics its very very hard.

As far as I understood maaku, the plan is to continue with the donation matching as long as the foundation has funds.
So we have still lot of funds to test alternatives distribution methods
The longer plan is then to make the coin issuing fully p2p.
The first step here would be to allow voting on the verification of the listed orgs and Feicoin projects that apply for donation matching.
I would recommend all that have some Freicoin related projects to register them at the foundation.
If you have already an known org you can just go ahead with registering.
If not, you can describe your project in this forum. Once you have support from the Freicoin community you can then register it with the foundation.
 
In the last meetings we have been talking also about using an trust level for each org, so that the payout could be more instant.
If the coins per month for an given org / project are below the trust level, the payout could be near instant. If not the payout must be approved manually.
 

Include it in the sourcecode (net.cpp line 1194) and every wallet find connections within moments

Here is a link to a working DNS Seeder for Freicoin based on latest version. Also under my repos there is a version 0.1.1 that is working called freicoin-seeder.
https://github.com/eddef/bitcoin-seeder
It's live at dnsseed.sicanet.net
Creds to @Rik8119 and @Skirmant for initial code and finding some magics

Sounds great! The question is what is exactly to fix there.
What we could also do is that people who work an Freicoin Projects can list how many hours they worked on what and how many Freihours they expect for their work.
Once a Milestone is finished we could then pay out.
 

I found I had to rent multiple 5ths miners instead of getting a massive rental. Work has been hectic but I fly out in a few days, I will respond properly then with everything that has been discussed. 

Situation: The current p2pool code for Freicoin doesn't work or is buggy. https://github.com/freicoin/p2pool
Focus: The Freicoin Alliance is willing to pay a bounty for this to be fixed so we have a working version of the code that people can use to create p2pools for Freicoin.
Response: A paid bounty will get this resolved faster and provide more opprotunities for others to create pools that smaller miners will use to mine Freicoin.

Evaluation: If we have more pools less chances longer delays between blocks.
 
I need the FA members or concerned forum readers to comment on the bounty and what it should be so that we can get someone to do the work on the code. Please comment below.

for me its still not clear what the plans from the foundation are in the future.

Thanks. We should do another bounty for the P2Pool as well as the code for that is messed up.

great work, how much time you spent on it, so that we can compensate you?
 
By the way, are the seeds nodes special nodes, or does it connect to freicoin core nodes?

Hey guys, I updated the seed nodes and added Vircurex exchange rate like fedde asked me to.
Download is here:
https://github.com/FreicoinAlliance/freicoin-wallet/releases/tag/v0.2.1

if the exchange is controlled by us gaming the freiexchange part should be not that easy
So or so they have to register at the exchange so we know who is doing what.
Later on we could develop a blockchain based transparent p2p exchange.

Hello Freicoins,
First of all, Molly has currently not the time to take care of the alliance funds.
@Mollycat thank you a lot for all what you did and do for Freicoin
I would be ready to take care of it if no one else steps in.
My suggestion is not to hold the coins but to use the coins for Freicoin Projects / Giveaways.
 
Here a Budget suggestion:
100.000 Freicoins for Bicks School / Universal Income project given out to students. They decide what they want to with it.
100.000 Freicoins for Freipay project Whoever buys or sells something that supports the Freicoin movement values gets 10% back. 50% for donations (to not yet listed projects), no matter which currency he uses, but Freicoin transactions have a higher priority.
Fore example: helping the poor, planting trees, organic food, small stores, freedom respecting software projects...
In short everything that is non harming.
 
100.000 Freicoins for Freiexchange project:
In short Freicoins are given away as negative trading fee.
For example: The Negative fee starts with 0 and increases with -0.1 per hour until it reaches at max -1%
100.000 Freicoins for giveawys
100.000 Freicoins for Freicoin Credit union project. In short for each freicoin you lend you get one extra to lend
100.000 Freicoins for Freimining project.
For each Freicoin you invest for FreiMining you can an extra one that mines for freicoin projects on your choice
100.000 Freicoins for Freicoin Faucet
200.000 Freicoins for Freicoin Development and Infrastructure
Feel free to suggest your project if it is missing!
 
For all this projects:
To be ensure fairness Freicoins received per participant or participant group can be limited
 
If one project goes more well then the other, i m willing to move the coins to the best functioning projects.
 
The requirement for these projects to start is (some internal projects can start before):
 
Solve the slow block issue:
- fixing the slow block time issue. Thx to Fedde and @kieranf we 23 Terrahasehs on the network instead of one
- next week two new miners (3 BTC worth) will come that will support the Freicoin Network. Thx to Fedde they are hosted for no power costs.
- who wants can buy shares in them with the Freimining project
 
Have the updated clients on the websites:
- currently the Freicoin client at Freico.in does not find any nodes because the node list is outdated. This must be fixed, otherwiese new users get a very bad impression
- also the electrum and android wallet should be downloadable
 
Have the website updated:
The links both on freico.in and freicoin alliance must be fixed.
Pools, explorers etc, I will post a list.
The faq and description on Freico.in must be updated. Feel welcome to join here.
 
 
For the moment thats all,
Martin

UPDATE: Project is finished optional targets still available.
here you can find the new Freiexplorer with demurrage display: much thx@Skaro
http://freicoin.info/chain/Freicoin
Bounty not paid out yet.
thx 
@Bicknellski
@Fabrizio
@fedde
for pledging the coins.
 
Hi all,

for creating an open source Blockexplorer  we set up a Cooperative Bounty (Budget) of 24 Freihours (120.000 Freicoins).

If you want to work on this, please post here or message me or fedde for more details.

Features of the Blockexplorer

- Should display Freicoins Blockchain like for example https://coinplorer.com/FRC

- Should display demurrage correcly

- open source
Optional:
- good to have: real time blockexplorer like: blockexplorer.com

- display of donations done to registred Freicoinprojects: from http://foundation.freicoin.org/#/donations

- good would be a fork of an existing github project, so that changes are transparent and updates are easy to make and both projects can benefit

Bet regards,

Arcurus

Arcurus: 10 Freihours (50.000 Freicoins) given to Alliance 
Darin M. Bicknell: -  2 Freihours (10,000 FRC) given to Alliance
Fede: 10 Freihours (50.000 FRC) given to Alliance
Fab: 2 Freihours (10.000 FRC) pledged
 
120.000 FRC bounty paid to 1EHMesZiLPqZvU2mVZGeYBaQvSPRUKA8yW

thats great! if you need another btc let me know. I will ask fedde if he can look into the pool problem.

Is it functioning now? I see you have mined a lot of blocks on the pool. Thx a lot for that! If not we must inform fedde, so that he can fix it.
Currently the main goal is to bring the difficulty down to normal levels before the attack. Next week we should get also some more Terra hashes to mine on Freicoin.
The idea to rent some miners if needed sounds great. I think we could also use alliance funds for that. I m also willing to donate for it. Could you take care of this ¨renting¨ project?
