By the way, to make it more simple we could just hang some ID to the donated amount like 0042(for Arcurus) to identify donors.
 
That would look like that 10000.0042  or like 10042.
 
User Ids could be registered here with the alliance.
Alternatively we could use separate addresses per account and forward them to the alliance account, but I think that's more complicated.
 
Also we could display here generally all Freicoin donations. 

First of all there is one thing to understand, as written on the Freicoin Foundation web[1], you must not necessarily be an registered non profit to take part in the donation matching.
 
It is enough if the project / organisation shares the goal of the Freicoin Foundation:
 
"The Freicoin Foundation seeks to create a world where commonplace non-usurious complementary currencies inspired by the works of Silvio Gesell are brought into being through economic development, charitable action, and the support of global commons and which engender perpetual prosperity through sustainable development."
...
"If you're a non-profit organization or part of a project that fits the goals of the Freicoin Foundation (described in the first paragraph of this page),"
 
[1] http://foundation.freicoin.org/#/ 
 
Second, even our constitution in Bavaria says, that:
(google translate)
"The total economic activity serves the common good, in particular ensuring a dignified existence for all and the gradual increase in the standard of living of all social classes"
 
Verfassung des Freistaates Bayern, Art. 151 Abs. 1: „Die gesamte wirtschaftliche Tätigkeit dient dem Gemeinwohl, insbesondere der Gewährleistung eines menschenwürdigen Daseins für alle und der allmählichen Erhöhung der Lebenshaltung aller Volksschichten.“
 
That means even "normal" businesses should serve the common good (at least in Bavaria).
 
For me the goal of Freicoin itself is to serve the common good interest, so why we should support projects at all, that does not serve the common good interest?
So per definition all projects that are supported by the Alliance should support the common good, otherwise why we should supported them?
 
But of course I understand, that maybe somebody want to donate to a specific project, if so, there are different possibilities, the easiest solution would be if needed to make an donation address per project. Coins can then be transferred to the Alliance for matching and then transferred to an storage address for the project.

The balance now changes after every new block to account for demurrage:  https://bit.ly/134jytd
 
 
 
 Great. Maybe there's some compatibility patch that I could put on top the wallet, tell me if you find anything
 
 
 
Linking the repository as a fork so you could review the changes should be easy, but rewriting and commenting every change would be a bit tedious. I'll be a busy in the coming days because of holidays and family gatherings so it might take a while, but I'll get it done!

Is it possible to "link" the Wallet project directly in github to the original code, so that we can directly compare the changes?
 
Yesterday Jitmon showed nicely how important it is to base the code on the original code:
 
Just look at Freicoin and Faircoin code repository:
https://github.com/freicoin/freicoin/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/FairCoinTeam/fair-coin/graphs/contributors
 
I think normal the best way to do it is just to make an fork of the original code and then make changes to that.
 
Otherwise later it would be hard to update if the original is changed.
Also its lot more secure, because its easier to find out what changes are in.

Awesome! This came faster as I expected, respek! *hugs*
 
 
 
 
Yup, looked into this quickly, this is a problem in the SailfishOS and apparently somewhat common problem with non-native applications. There are workarounds for this, so I will look into it more when I have a moment and let you know if its something that can be directly fixed in the apk (so that it doesnt break/eat resources in android) or if it needs separate file/version for Jolla

Raise the limit of liking posts? Catching up on the forums and started getting the followng half way through
"You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day"

Yup, I support giving this ago Naturally, would be better to have a bigger user base to actually see how it works, but hopefully during next year we'll have more participants after getting more projects running ^^

thx Skirmat!
 
With the code now fully open sourced I will suggest to payout the 1 BTC already. The Freicoin Bounty can be payed out later after more testing and the donation matching is done (most-likely beginning of January) if it is ok for all? 
 
I also suggest that if Jo is finishing the Freicoin ElectrumClient to an useful state (lets say until beginning of January) it would be fair to share the Freicoin part of the Bounty with him, so that we at best have two Freicoin mobile wallets.
 
As far as I know reported bugs / missing features are currently:
- Fed and Fab could not read QR codes (that seems to be a clear bug) (UPDATE - Seems solved)
- The loosing coins though demurrage is not displayed in the client like Freicoin-QT dos (would be nice to have, but not necessarily needed to make transactions) (UPDATE - Skirmant is working on it)
- Is was also mentioned that the client does not share blocks / transactions with other clients and so maybe uses up bandwidth of Freicoin nodes. Has somebody researched that how other mobile clients handle that? For me it seems, that an mobile wallet not necessarily need to use its resources to share blocks, normal Freicoin nodes should be fine for that, but I didn't look into it.    (as far as I see it no bug at all) 

Yep, early January sounds great since Jan 10th is my birthday
 
 
 
I fixed QR scanning a week ago for Fedde. I'm not sure about Fabrizio, his QR scanning works but has a weird UI issue. The problem is that he uses SailfishOS which is technically not an android OS and doesn't support all the official libraries, so I think it's currently beyond my limitations. But I'll keep an open eye for solutions..
 
 
I'm currently working on this
 
 
There's no bug. All bitcoinj wallets are 'light' nodes, hosting a full blockchain is too resource intensive for phones. I think the claim that it somehow 'uses up' bandwidth is silly. Almost all popular altcoins use bitcoinj and I never heard anyone else complain about it. I also hardcoded an address to a dedicate freicoin node that I host on my VPS so it should help a bit
 
If anyone has more questions or bug reports feel free to ask!

I agree on you on the btc, do we put up another pot of 50.000 frc for the electrum if that comes to life?
Skirmant, ill set up another node that can be used in a few days when i get home from Oslo and i can set up a dedicated for it.

Ok, updating the intial post, me and arc put up in total 100.000 frc for the electrum to finish.

1 BTC Bounty is given out now to Skirmant.
The Freicoin part of the Bounty will given out in beginning of January when the Freicoin Foundation matching and more testing was done. 
Currently Fedde, Bick and Arcurus gave in total 0.6 BTC.
To make it simple 0.4 BTC was a pre payed for other Bounty givers:

funny, just thought about making an unit called freihour that equals one average working hour.
 
To make it simple we can set it as currently 10 Euro and calculate the inflation on it as time comes.
 
The freihour could be used if we make an basic income or borrow some stuff, or for accounting.
 
 
 
Yea in former time people had true knowledge.
 
7 Visibilbe planets 7 main body centers + some invisible like the invisible planets for the simple eye. 
 
Each body center connected to a different layer of experiences.

If we humans would just understand what we truly are... 

Hi Fedde,
have you though about, now that we have the Alliance Registered, of donating the amount you spend for the forum, website and so on to the Alliance , so that we can become matching for it?
 
The more we start internally use Freicoins the better!
 
Best regards,
Arcurus

Dear Jitmon, maaku and all other Foundation members,
with the current Freicoin price so low and with handling the Bounty for the Mobile Wallet, we reached already more then 450.000 Donated Freicoins in just some days  
With currently 25% matching as maaku said this would be little more then 100.000 FRC or 0.5 BTC = 150 Euro.
 
How should we proceed?
Should we stop donating, until next month is reached?
Or will the foundation with the currently very low Freicoin value increase  the given out amount per month?
The current 100 K Freicoin limit was in a time where the Freicoin value was 20 times higher than now.
 
Will the Donated Freicoins at least counted to the next month if they are not fully matched?
 
What do you recommend?
 
All the good,
Arcurus

Added the address. Maybe Fed can link the address also somewhere on the website.
Why should someone donate to the Alliance without using the matching program?

Freicoin Alliance Micro Loan Project in short "Micro Loan Project"  (Caretaker Bick + Arc + you?)
 
Hi all,
the "Freicoin Alliance Micro Loan Project" is an non profit Freicoin Community driven project, supported through the Freicoin Alliance  and one part of the "The Frei-Republic / Frei-Economy Project".
The Frei-Republic / Frei-Economy Project is based on 5 columns to cover each aspect of Freicoin. The "Micro Loan Project"  is one column of it.
The main goal of the "Micro Loan Project" is to propagate a "Common Good Based Economy" through encouraging cooperation, dezentralisation, sharing of knowledge and supporting a non harming fair economy though giving out  zero interest micro loans.
 
The Micro Loan Project itself is focused on the  zero interest micro loan aspect.
 
 
In short:
Participants of the "Micro Loan Project" can get up to 100%* of their transaction value for verified common good / non profit projects on the participants choice for each zero interest micro loan** claimed with Freicoins!
 
Claimed means, that an equal amount of Freicoins, representing the transaction value must be used to claim the matching.
Only 50% of the payment transaction value can be claimed if the transaction is not made in Freicoin.
Micro Credits can be claimed back to at maximum of two years.
If an loan is payed back before one year the value that can be claimed will reduce accordingly.  
 
That means, that also other Zero Interest micro loan projects are supported, as long as they are white-listed
 
Verified projects can be found here: Freicoin Foundation Web or Freicoin Alliance specific here: Freicoin Alliance.
The Micro Loan Project itself is purely donation based and therefore dependent on your donations. Therefore please consider to donate some Freicoins also to the Micro Loan Project itself if you want the service the Micro Loan Project can offer to advance.   
   
Proxy loans to Bitcoin or other currencies (even Fiat currencies like Dollar or Euro) are possible if an "Loan Handler" is found that supports that currency. Everybody, who want to support The Micro Loan Project project is welcome to take part to become an Payment Handler for The Micro Loan Project, just post here or send the current caretakers an message.  
 
 
If you just want to make an an purchase, an donation or an ethical investment you can use Freipay or Freiinvest instead. 
 
* Out of technical reasons currently Freicoins that have been used already with the Micro Loan Project are not supported and therefore get no matching. 
* To guarantee fairness the given out amount per user / user Group can be limited.
 
* The exact percentage is dependent on Freicoin Foundation coin issuing and therefore not in the hand of The Micro Loan Project .
Only The Micro Loan Projects costs that are covered from the coin matching an therefore can slightly reduce the matching are: Freicoin Network Transaction Fees, Freicoin demurrage costs and in case of proxy payments to other currencies: exchange costs and transaction fees in this network. Time and resource costs from The Micro Loan Project  / Payment Handlers are not covered and therefore are dependent purely on your donation to the Micro Loan Project. 
 
* * The goal is to encourage cooperation, sharing of knowledge and a non harming fair economy. Therefore only loans which fit to this ethical rules are supported by the The Micro Loan Project. If you want to have an organisation, project or user white- or black- listed, just post here or write an message.
 
 
 
Current caretakers of this project are Bicknellski and Martin(Arcurus) .
If you want to join or help The Micro Loan Project or just have some suggestions, please feel free to post here, or send us an message!
 
 
Best regards,
Martin

The Freicoin Wallet's source code is now available on GitHub! 
 
https://github.com/Skirmant/freicoinj

You can download the updated version here: https://bit.ly/134jytd (still in alpha stage)

Hehhehe, I thought about writing out similar stuff to yers, how christmas has been perverted and turned into a consumerism ritual with very little of it having anything to do about the "actual" event it is said to be celebrated for... but then didnt wanna bum people out Conspiracy corner indeed a better place for that
But anyways, not to be totally off-topic;
Wishes for beautiful days and happy moments with friends and family and everyone else! For every day! For everyone! ^^

Holidays??? Whats that? 
Is this something like I work for something I don't want to do, so that I then can do what I do think I want to do in some few days in the year and then be that exhausted, that I cannot really enjoy what I really want to do? Who invented such strange things?
 
And how on earth managed Coca-cola to take over Christmas and bring the red color to it?
 
And why so many people put an innocent living tree in their house instead of just enjoying the real thing outside? 
 
Ok, I better let it for the Conspiracy Corner
 
But I really love the calm atmosphere in the winter days after all the run is over. 

Ay! Sounds good ^^
 
 
Yup, happens every time. But, like mentioned, most probably caused by the Jollas android support itself Not a big problem, takes only a sec to go around it. After the beta or 1.0 version is out, I'll try to lure someone from the SailfishOS community to work on the native version ^^

Hi All, after registering with the Freicoin Foundation the next step would be to register the Alliance as an non profit.   Here Bick and Molly posted already some information:   http://freicoinalliance.com/topic/44-register-freicoin-alliance-to-freicoin-foundation-donation-matching/?p=368    

Of course! It's just that it's a bit less problematic for me to make quick fixes while it's closed atm
But as soon as I release the beta you can bet your ass it will be open source
 
 
That seems odd, does that happen every time you a scan a QR code, or just occasionally?
It may be hard to debug because the wallet was never meant for SailfishOS, just android.
