Hi all, 

to apply for matching the Bounty for the Wallet, I transferred now 300.000 FRC (200.000 for the one BTC) to the Alliance Address.

 

Lets see how the matching works

 

All the good,

Arcurus

 

 

Added 18.000 FRC + the bounty to make a round sum (or has Fab just forgotten a zero?)

@Fedde please add, or should I edit the starting post?

 

If someone want to give his bounty already, he can transfer the BTC here:

Or Freicoins here:

Hello Freicoiners,
above is a short overview of the Alliance donors.
 
Thanks a lot to all donors, no matter if they donated their precious time, some coins, or gave just an encouraging feedback.
Often just a like can do a lot! On the end its the small thinks that count.
 
There are a lot further names to name who did a lot for Freicoins, just to mention some:
 
First of all I want to thank Mark Friedenbach and Jitmon for initiating Freicoin and devoting a lot time to do the programming.
Joe and Bicknellski, for doing a lot for the Freicoin community.
Mollycat and Fedde for initiating the Alliance.
And Skirmant for developing a Freicoin Mobile wallet.
 
If I have forgotten something please post here or send me an PM, nobody is perfect!
 
All the good,
Arcurus
 
 
* The Freihour is intended to be used if we need some more stable unit of account. Currently (2015/12/25) an Freihour equal round about 10000 Freicoins.
An Freihour reflects an average working hour and is currently defined as purchasing power of round about 10 Dollar on 2014/12/06.
As time comes inflation will be calculated in it, therefore the related Dollar / Freicoin value may increase in case of inflation or decrease in case of deflation.
In this case the Freihour Value of the donation is counted, when the donation is listed here.
 
A discussion and more updated information about the Freihour can be found here:
http://freicoinalliance.com/topic/119-alliance-freihour-for-unit-of-account-discussion/ 
 
**If someone has donated some time or other thinks to Freicoin he could also list that in Freihours. Just post in this topic what you have done and how many hours you spent round about, as always the more transparent the better!
 
*** the donation id can be used to make your donations visible. To do so just choose one not yet used donation id with at least two digits, post it here, and then add the donation it after each of your new donations to the Alliance
 
**** Used Freicoins means, that these donated Freicoins are already used for projects. The differences between donated coins and used coins is what the donor can still decide to give to alliance supported***** projects
 
***** An pragmatic suggestion, how to define an alliance supported project, you can find here

Great work! Looking forward to test a working product.
I think most of us here has android mobiles, so testing will be no problem.

Hi all,

Maidsafe: 
In short Maidsafe aims to build a distributed storage protocol + an proof of ressource based coin.
Currently I have not yet reviewed the technical paper, but the concepts sounds interesting. Especially the idea, that you can directly use your coins to store stuff, or earn coins with storing stuff seems to be promising:   Nice introduction Video:   News article: http://www.businessinsider.com/these-guys-are-creating-a-new-internet-2014-5   Bitcoin Talk Topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=579797.0   Maidsafe technical Documents. http://maidsafe.net/documents   Doge Here some Link to the Doge newspaper: They have also some interesting articles about merge mining inside. http://issuu.com/verymuchwow/docs/vmw-fall-2014/1?e=11558635/9848206   Stellar Next an (long) Video about Stellar: (They use a fork of the ripple protocol, distribute their coins away over facebook and distribute 1% per year according to the vote of the stakeholders.)    Ethereum Prototype TimeBank on ethereum http://desperado-theory.blogspot.be/   Concept of basic income circles:  https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/comment/6744/#Comment_6744   Proof of Stake Very good Proof of stake Comparison from Vitalik:

Hey guys! I thought I'd give you an update on my progress
The wallet is almost complete. Synchronizing with the blockchain and receiving funds works fine, but I'm having some issues with creating transactions.. Hopefully I can get this issue fixed shortly so you guys have something to test
 
Bellow is a screenshot of the wallet running on an android emulator
 

Nice Video, that is also very connected to the idea of Freicoin:

Would it be an idea to have a thread or subforum called Website Suggestions or similar? I just had a hard time figuring out a proper thread to suggest making the main navigation into a 'sticky menu' that remains on top of the page as you scroll down. I don't remember if this is an option in IPBoard, but WP has it as an option I think, at least the theme I used. Is there some system of widgets or similar?

Hi Prometheus,
as said if you want just start here, I would be happy to donate for educating videos.
 
I think also Bick would be very interested with his school.
If things grow bigger you could create an separate site.
 
Encouraging sharing knowledge should be one of the main projects of the Alliance.
 
All the good,
Arcurus 

Here an important discussion how we want to proceed with the micro loan project:
 
Important questions are:
Do we want to support these with donation matching?
Does that fit the Mission Statement of the Freicoin Foundation?
Do we want to extent it to ethical investments?
 
Please answer in the linked topic below, not in this topic!

I have put up some general statistics of the website for those who are interested in that.

- Taking care of Alliance Blog (suggestion Fed)
 
This can be done by admins, we have a button here that is named "Promote to article". If you promote it, it will arrive on the front page.
 
Twitter, this domain, facebook and the other points you set me up on is ok with me. 

Indeed. I like the French word for gold, 'Or' I believe although it's an Indo-European language, is related to the Hebrew word for light אור or "Owr" (compare to Eng. Hour, and Ger. Uhr) and the Sumerian city Urim or Ur (in Babylonian Ur simply means City as far as I can see), where they are credited for having standardised and systemised the same units for time and space we still use today, based on the geometric base-60 system, the square and compass, and what they saw as a direct proportional relationship between the human body and the cosmos (no less), as if to chant the ancient mantra «As above so below».
 
The perimeter of circles and the horizon was divided into 360 degrees, and further into arc minutes and seconds. The proto-calendar for the Sumerian year was divided into twelve months of equal length relating to the lunar month, with intercalary months shot in from time to time to make up for the missing days of the full solar year. And further reflecting the seven astrological "planets" visible to the naked eye-- in a week of seven days named after the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn respectfully. Each day was further divided into 24 hours.
 
In ancient Mesopotamia time meant money, just like today, and the clocks they used were the solar clock, so the link between the Sun and Gold is far from superficial, these guys didn't do anything half-witted. And this whole thing started some 6000 years ago. Things were valued for a given weight in gold and other useless-but-precious metals. Well, copper can be turned into bronze and brass, and silver can be used for mirrors and primitive photography and for cutlery and jewellery.

Lol lottery winning
Maybe they can tax miners like that
To tax VAT sounds strange.
To tax it like foreign currency sounds good.

Hi all,
I am just looking to sort out the projects a little bit, so that it is more visible which project is in suggestion mode, already running or finished, not that we end up like in the Freicoin Forum with tons of suggestions and few finished projects.
 
Is this project still in suggestion mode, or already running?
 
And can you specify and short Title for the project? And describe in the beginning Post which some few sentences what it is all about?
 
Thank you for that you do for Freicoin,
Arcurus

Great idea and points Registered and liked the project on the Climate CoLab page ^^

Especially the stuff with reputation and transparency is great *thumbsup*

Hi All,
here a nice video about:

Hi all,
here is an proposal for Freieconomy. The main goal is Help to propagate a Common Good Economy and bring use-cases to Freicoin.
 
The Freieconomy is based on 5 columns to cover each aspect of Freicoin.
I put in some suggestions for caretakers, if you want to take care of an project please contact me or post here.
 

Freieconomy - Help to propagate a Common Good Economy

Freicoin Alliance Micro Loan Program (Caretaker Bick + Arc + you?)
Freicoin Alliance Micro Loan Program - Get up to 25% extra for common good projects on your choice!
 
Freipay - Support a Common Good Economy [1] (Caretaker Fab + Arc + you?)
Use Freipay and get up to 25% extra for common good projects on your choice!
 
Freiinvest - Support Ethical Investments [1](Suggested caretaker Arc + you?)
Use Freiinvest and get up to 25% extra for common good projects on your choice!
 
Freicoin Alliance Freimining Program (Suggested caretaker Arc + you?)
Join Freimining and get up to 25% extra for common good projects on your choice!
 
Freicoin Alliance Basic Income / World Citizens Project [2] (Arc + you?)
Sign up and get up to 1 Freihour*  per month for common good projects on your choice!
 
*  The Freihour is intended to be used if we need some more stable unit of account. Currently (2014/12/16) an Freihour equal round about 5000 Freicoins.
An Freihour reflects an average working hour and is currently defined as purchasing power of round about 10 Dollar on 2014/12/06.
As time comes inflation will be calculated in it, therefore the related Dollar / Freicoin value may increase in case of inflation or decrease in case of deflation.
A discussion and more updated information about the Freihour can be found here:
http://freicoinalliance.com/topic/119-alliance-freihour-for-unit-of-account-discussion/ 
 
In the beginning we could use the Freicoin Alliance as an "umbrella" for the projects as long as the projects keep small. If the projects grow we can register them separately, this would also give more transparency in the longer run.

In short the first three columns could be described like that:
If Freicoin is used to make an ethical investment, an zero percent micro loan or an purchase*, the Freicoin Alliance (for example) gives up to 25%  extra Freicoins to an on the Freicoin Foundation Web or the Freicoin Alliance registered project on the users choise**.
 
* The goal is to encourage cooperation, sharing of knowledge and a non harming fair economy. Therefore only payments which fit to this ethical rules are supported by the Alliance.
Proxy payments to Bitcoin or other currencies (even Fiat currencies) is possible if an payment handler is found.
How this could be handled is described in the Freipay project [1]

The main goals of investments / loans should be:
- Encourage an fair economy.
- Encourage an non harming economy! 
- Encourage cooperation.
- Encourage transparency
- Encourage sharing of knowledge
- Encourage decentralization
- Encourage proagation of Freicoin
... Feel free to add




To finance these projects the "donation" matching of the Freicoin Foundation could be used if the Freicoin Foundation gives its ok.
The problem I see here is, that these would be no real "donations", its more like voting with Freicoins though using Freicoins.
Also currently no redonations should be used, that can also hinder this project.
 
Still I think that all these projects would fit perfectly to the mission statement of the Freicoin Foundation* and will give real use-cases to Freicoin. 
 
What do you think?
 
Best regards,
Arcurus

Hi Fedde,
what do you think about dividing the project forum in:

Category: Freicoin Alliance Projects
Forum1: Project Suggestions
Forum2: Running Projects
Forum3: Done Projects
 
This would help to see what projects are currently running...
 
See you,
Arcurus

Nice work people!
