In Blab? There doesnt seem to be an option for it, but the system will recognize your connection speed and disable the video automatically if your connection is too slow. It will still try to stream the audio.. so with a real slow connection, it will lag out the chat The audio doesnt take too much bandwidth, but the website itself is a bit heavy.. not too bad though, so hopefully theres some internet cafes around there that can handle it Around what part of India are ye at? *edit: In mumble you can choose the voice quality from the client, so you can set it as low as 8kbit/s.

Chillies PERRKELE! And yeah, saved a bunch on the heating bill + the chillies was fraction of the price compared to buying from grocery store If buying all the equipment solo, its a pretty hefty bill (miner + tent/grow room setup + light(s) + pots, grow medium, seeds/plants, etc. + power costs) to start if one is living in poverty. However, with crowdfunding/crowdlending or sharing costs with co-op its a great way to start aiming for self-sustainability It pays back the investment after few grow cycles. It's not too rare anymore to see restaurants, markets and other food businesse

Was just me and Bick so we decided to just try out the system and not record this time. The platform however was very nice! Definately something we should use for the community hangouts from now on. We're gonna try to have a blab/hangout once a week. There are some limits on Blab currently, so we can use Mumble/alternative for the occasions (more than 4 active speakers, to discuss something confidential, etc.). But lets continue in the Blab thread:

Lets try this tomorrow! https://freicoinalliance.com/topic/113-alliance-how-do-we-proceed/#entry1412

Hehehe, yeah I'm still surprised there not being more demurrage experiments in crypto-sphere.. especially since Basic Income topic is getting more and more popular But anyways.. about Mazacoin.. yeah, I can see its not that special altcoin/altchain from the surface looks of it for many. Indeed there's not much to differentiate it from the most other altchains on the technical side, but for me, the projects goals and aimed community is an exciting environment Too long of a subject to give mi full view on the project, so I'll just say I'm very hopeful that MAZA, with its dedicated and skill

Adding one more in relations to the mining and using the head for useful co-projects. I had this running in small scale last winter (thread here: https://freicoinalliance.com/topic/63-query-of-interest-mining-organic-farming-project/). So the idea is: In areas where it gets sub zero temperatures in winter time, or are generally too cold climates to grow certain plants, establishing an green room that is heated by mining equipment would allow several benefits. Even if the mining gear is second hand / older generation of miners, you still get discount in the electrical bill. Depending on the s

Ucoin is indeed an interesting project with an active (yet small contributing group) development. To get started with the experimenting, heres few links: https://forum.ucoin.io/t/subscribing-to-meta-brouzouf-testing-currency/199 (short guide with links to installing Sakia (the lite client) and taking the first steps to "register") https://forum.ucoin.io/t/tutorial-subscribe-to-the-testing-currency/143 (direct link to the Sakia install thread) Post your user ID's here if you're registered!

Hey Rik! With MAZA circles I mean the Mazacoin developers and community They're also a small community, but the developers are pretty active and have done some nice contributions to Bitcoin-sphere over the years ^^ (Two cool projects for both bitcoin+altcoins from those guys: https://github.com/mazaclub/hashmaland https://github.com/mazaclub/encompass) Their channels on IRC (@freenode): #MAZA and #MAZA-dev | and webpage: https://mazacoin.org(theyre doing website upgrade currently, apparently aiming towards more community orientation/interaction?) But unfortunately nope, havent gotten th

Bueler?... Nakamoto?... Satoshi?... Lets get this year started! "Cmoon! Just a quickie? *grr*"

Alright! I'll try to PERRKELE them Maza guys a bit and get them post their availability for the early next week The donation matching script topic could be a little FRC specific and we could have it on the FA meetup maybe, but the other topics would be relevant for this hangout as well ^^ I think the Maza peoples are looking to upgrade their website and other stuff too, so we could try to agree on some common tools (like IPFS) and procedures to align better co-working *edit: BTW, some cool IPFS tools listed in here: https://github.com/ipfs/awesome-ipfs

Ohh yeah, and one further idea related to the energy generation opportunities and maximizing energy efficiency in relations to benefits from crypto side: In areas where electrical heating for houses is needed, heat generated by miners could be used. So a platform to allow "I can host miners" and "I have miners to be hosted" adverts could be useful. For example, if one would have an old miner that draws 1000W from the wall and the local kW/h price is 10 cents -> one could put an advert to pay someone 2 cents for each kW/h used by the miner. Basically offering a 20% discount for part of the

We should prolly clean up the forum sections a bit? The Freicoin Community section could be removed / moved / combined to some more general section? And maybe Freirepublic / FreiEconomy could be moved under Alliance? Maybe also create new sections for more general topics. AndAndAnd! Lets try to have that meeting the coming week guys, to get the party started!

Little shorter idea example: Offering IT support or other remote/online help Platform that would allow profiles to be made and online/available presence to be set. Would also need a chat system for easy way to contact the individuals offering support/expertizes. Would allow people to earn little extra income when needed from time to time. Example: Someone could set up a profile and advertize common IT-Support. When the one would have extra time along the day, like when killing time on the internets, one would login to the platform -> change online status to available. If someone on the p

Heres an example to start with. Shoutout to #MAZA peeps, idea'd this thought around with them on their IRC channel In many places around the world it is still pretty common to have to use diesel/petrol/gas generators for having electricity in the house even for whats considered basic needs in "modern" world.. for lights, cooking, shower, charging the laptop, phone or other mobile devices, etc. Theres even places like this in the midst of the western societies, in US too, with pretty dire situations in communities.. like in the Native American reservations.Today, there is great small alternati

Posting this thread here in the Economy section instead Freicoin directly, since these ideas should be usable for other communities with similar goals as well Today there would be lots of opportunities to offer simple common good tasks for the unemployed and other people looking to supplement their income. Be it whatever that causes the governments to be slow to react, they're not seemingly aiming to adopt these technologies anytime in the near future.. but hopefully, we should already be able to establish some parts of the changes we want to see within our local communities ourselves Like w

A bit of quiet time in the Freicoin Alliance for the 2015 as most of us have had life take us to different activities and paths to walk on, but - be it a leading by the spirits, signs of the times, or just coincidence - many of us are coming back together for the beginning of 2016! And since there seems to be a lot of similar minded and enthusiastic people around the cryptoscene, who have been pondering on and working with common questions to build beneficial features and layers for different communities during the year.. we should start sharing resources and working with other groups more! S

Hey Arc! Hope you've had a merry christmas But ayeh! Very much along the same lines of thinkin myself too I'd like to see people offer anything they like to do and get coins for it (kinda related to Basic Income) ^^ While there needs to be some kind of trust system at the big scale, we can start with small group and certain activities that we can have trusted in a community setting. And like mentioned, theres also a lot of tools to enhance and automate some of them processes So what I would be most interested in doing, is get some kind of set of tools combined to establish a platform for

Maybe we can get an Alliance Hangout for starting the new year of 2016? https://freicoinalliance.com/topic/145-fa-hangouts-hangout-6/?p=941 If ye guys can post availabilities to that thread, we could see to have maaku and/or jtimon for the session maybe as well Could better aim our sights if we get updated/aligned aims for Freicoin roadmap.

One year later... Hangout #6! Can we do it this time? on IRC/SILC/Mumble/Here on forums? Who is up for one? I can prettymuch make any time for the next several weeks ^^

Some playing around done the past month and IPFS feels more and more as something to change the internet world It's gotten few new tools and projects to complement the tech, along with nice updates to the existing ones ^^ IPFS is very easy to promote, as it can be demoed on all web browsers just by showing a normal looking website, but explain its working on IPFS "Its just like the internet, it just works behind the scenes differently" Hosting stuff on IPFS is very simple too. It does quire installing an package, but its similar in installation to iTunes and such. Ethereum indeed seems to

I liked the idea in this thread: Freicoin Giveaway to encourage cooperation, sharing of knowledge and a non harming fair economy For example, giveaway for the hosting of content related to Freicoin and related ideals.. books, videos, documentaries, website, etc.. on IPFS could help establish the tools and layout - and the needed experience of the usecases - to pave away for more complex ideas of experimentation. Like the governance topic This should be relatively easy to get automated since we are paying out from central point and we can have simple condition(s) for being eligible for the gi

This is an interesting on-going developing area, governance with blockchain platforms Excited to see what kinds of inventions will thrive from around that subject We could decide to do some experimenting on those with FA. Theres some interesting work and tools out there, like the DASH stuff you linked here in the forums, so something to build on Though, on this area.. the governance and the problem of identity on blockchain.. I'd see to be a bit of work to be done.. some wide open questions and "problems" to be solved before getting it easy enough to relate to in an user experience sense *h

Coming back to this now that I've gotten some things tied together and some nice insightful discussions, with few peoples already, that are on similar lines of thinking and starting to organize more shared community activities Transparency is an area of interest for me too Would be really interesting to start experimenting with as-transparent-as-made-possible-with-available-tools kind of an system. Some people have already thought some obvious "problems" with these totally transparent systems, but usually with the pre-blockchain era.. so there could be some positive new ideas around ther
