Prometheus

I'll see if I can come up with something nice one of these days. I have my little grey ones crunching ideas as we speak. Some FIAT-like bill/note design could be nice I suppose, and I guess there must be a QR code or two ("private" and "public") printed on it. Ah, just reread the opening post. I'm at it.

I'm thinking something like Lynda.com only with a much lower entry threshold and a much wider target audience.

Lynda.com delivers "online video tutorials to help you learn software, creative, and business skills." Prices range from $25 per month for Basic ($250 annually) to $37.50 per month for Premium ($375 annually). More at their about page + payment plans page + FAQ page. I'm thinking a near unlimited amount of subjects, categories and skills, and based on crypto currency, preferably Freicoin.

According to the August 12, 2013 issue of Forbes (a year old article) "Subscribers [to lynda.com] pay $25 a month, or $250 a year, to access 3- to 20-minute courses on Web design, 3-D animation, Photoshop, Excel and CAD, among others, adding up to $100 million in revenue last year. All that has helped Lynda.com build a huge fan base and a library of 100,000 videos." -- Now that's one to beat. And they've been around since the nineties, with a green bottomline every year since 1997. Solid.

Another site to consider is Coursera.org which provides courses online, many of which are rewarded in study points as given in universities. With more than 10 million users they provide more than 800 courses.

According to their about page, "Coursera is an education platform that partners with top universities and organizations worldwide, to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free." And further: "We envision a future where everyone has access to a world-class education. We aim to empower people with education that will improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities they live in."

So in addition to being free and open to anyone, it's hardly non-profit and there is a good mission involved. 

According to their Wikipedia article, "The contract between Coursera and participating universities contains a "brainstorming" list of ways to generate revenue, including verified certification fees (started in 2012 as Signature Track), introducing students to potential employers and recruiters (with student consent), tutoring, sponsorships and tuition fees In September 2013 it announced it had earned $1 million in revenue through verified certificates that authenticate successful course completion. As of December 2013 the company had raised $85 million in venture capital John Doerr suggested that people will pay for "valuable, premium services". Any revenue stream will be divided, with schools receiving a small percentage of revenue and 20% of gross profits." [...] "Coursera will offer proctored exams at the end of these courses through ProctorU, an online proctoring service that connects proctors and students via webcam. The service will cost $60–$90."

All good stuff, and showing there is great economic potential in online education and micro-lessons. I'll try to keep this potato warm. And please, if anyone has links to related sites and services, please share them.

I have been unavailable for quite some time, and didn't read this until now. I'll keep it in mind and see what I can come up with together with Fedde who had some ideas as to how we can make it work application-wise. Sooo wink noted, I'll keep you informed. Should I post sketches here in this thread?

Sorry guys, I've not been active much lately. Lots of crap has happened in my life these last couple of weeks and I've been rather miserable. Short story is my best mate since I was three just died, and yesterday I cut my bleeding hair off in some vain attempt at feeling better. Well. Anyway, disclaimer up, here's what I've been thinking:

My coding skills are limited to html and css at best. So building a search engine, well, it's not my table, but though I changed the title to involve a search engine, well, as Fabrizio says, it's an obstacle, but it doesn't have to be one, and I am not really sure what to call this eh site or THING. Cause the thing is, how we can make the site self sustainable? Meaning that somehow, (users) perhaps from being rewarded in satoshis or simply for the fame and glory (they're still out there), there must be a dynamics here, that in the process of posting a requested solution to a problem, tagging and categorising these requests and solutions is what will be the first vital thing, and there must be a system of rating to find the best solutions and some system for automatically moderating, it could easily turn out to be too bloody impossible to waste ones time with. But. Like, if you want to know for instance "why water is heavier than air?", you will have to tag your question with keywords the user would expect his solution from. If the user wants the scientific dry factual approach, he'd hook off "physics, thermo dynamics..." whatever he'd expect the solution to include. However, this guy may want to know how Plato or Archimedes would explain it, or for that matter what the Bible has to say about it, so then he'd put those keywords in his request. See where I'm going?

I figured I could make some kind of mock-up demonstration when I have a clearer picture, showing features I'd expect this, eh, THING (search engine or what one should call it), to include. I thought about a format using the concept from quizzies like there is a radio show in Norway called "20 questions". The contestants must name a word a listener has sent in, and they can ask the host up to 20 questions to find the correct word, well, you get it. Typically the first question is whether this word is describing something in the mineral kingdom, animal kingdom or plant kingdom etc. and then they start searching. Perhaps there could be some kind of set framework, or some standard questions users must answer, I don't know?

I haven't tossed this in the bin just yet, for I believe it is a good idea. This product isn't out there as far as I can see. Closest I get is youtube.com, answers.com and google.com, it has element of all three, which if put together, this Right! thing could potentially enhance the internet experience much like these three mentioned sites did when they showed up. You'll never know, you know....

Hehe, i'll set you up with a oldtimer with XP so you can start cooking.

Cool and deadly!   Can't wait. Great! 

Yes, and thanks a lot, it's not that I am not grateful, and I really wish I could help, but I am basically legally insane in periods, and you can't trust me in things like keeping an ordered schedule, much less have responsibility for a class and kids' education. I am just the worst teacher ever. I honestly think the world is best served without me teaching anything. But I can help you out researching and like I said, I can put together an Illustrator cheat sheet and something, but teaching? Can't teach an old dog new tricks I'm afraid. I've tried teaching and instructing in various settings. And I hated every second of it. Sorry, I'm just not wired for it. But like I said, I'll see what I can cough up. I'll see if I can put together an old-school dedicated Adobe windozer here too. I actually have a box gathering dust here that used to run xp. Wanted to do it for ages. Perhaps I'd buy a disk and an xp-licence one of these days and get cooking. 

Now I know, only eye-candy and nothing solid. But what would it take to make a couple of geniuses to cough up a few algorithms to make Right sense out of a heavily tagged, rated and categorised video db. I though about it. Maybe not start with videos at all, but rather try to see what it takes to make another answers.com, only with an underlying goal to go video grade in step 2 on the same db, to develop it into a working beta to show investors. That we have a product, not just the idea.

Anyone here on the board who would happen to know where I can find people who would be clever enough to write down a clever next generation search engine? Where do they make the best search engines? MiT? Where can I start to dig for answers? To sketch up a model of how it will work, and find out who can write it and what it will cost. 

Walkthrough:

==> Log in

==> Check balance, anyone donated to any of your "rights"?

==> Check requests/submitted problems within your field of expertise

==> Choose a problem you can solve

==> Make a webcam short where you explain the solution, no more than 3 min.

==> Preview and Submit your video (via some form of moderation)

==> Check that your last video shows up properly

==> Log out

==> Wait for people to rate your "rights" and donate to your wallet address

Catch phrase:

-- You have a Right to question everything, and you have a Right to explain it!

PS: I'm not joking here guys. The transparency I have chosen is deliberate. 

Well, I'm thinking about something like this:

note: it's just a mock-up sketch, so no need to comment on the colours, name or logo or other things

Exactly how it would be coded isn't yet essential, there are plenty of ways and that's not the problem. The challenge is how one could fund and run such a site, and how to make good stirling from it. And most importantly, putting up a framework and a set of limitations that would define the site to fill the gap between answers.com and youtube sort of. And how can crypto-currency payments become involved without people necessarily having to pay for the solutions they seek, perhaps an option to rate, comment, and, an offer to donate a few satoshis or choice paypal accepted payments, if they find anything useful. 

I believe such a site could fill such a gap and the huge demand for quick look-ups these days. I know I use my pc and phone to dig up solutions to all kinds of things all the time. Ratings will be central and they will be rated for relevance and elegancy. Short videos of a few minutes each, giving you the quick and dirty solutions to any problem known to man. The real "Hitchhiker's Guide".

There would be a separate category for putting together Ikea furniture, one about angling, cooking, games, guitar playing, bird identification, emergency repairs, uses for gaffa tape, anything really.

Let's say I am about to turn a potato into a decent meal, I type in "potato", and would hopefully get a bunch of hits for people teaching how to make DIY fries, crisps, potato cannons, potato stamp, potato flour, how to prepare potatoes in any way possible and a one minute short about the life of a medieval priest who based all his preaching on the potato. 

Correct.

 

But providing the focus on what is required first is the key for them to get started. And you can then have them self educate.

 

That is how it works in a Montessori classroom. The teacher is merely a guide and observer. You support their learning by being their to support their path through the curriculum.

Again, and talking of curriculum, I am not the man you seek. I'd end up destroying their little minds. I'm serious. I'll try and put together a quick reference sheet or something and keep them in mind in the future and who knows, I may put together other things too. And if I find a format that works, who knows, I could make a design book for kids of it or something and try to have it published. Which could be a good idea. But it's also highly likely it ends up somewhere in the pile I have of other half finished projects, manuscripts and the odd synopsis for something revolutionary, I have stacked up. I really wish I could be able to help, but I'm not your man here. Just take my word for it. I'd end up teaching them how to make a DIY atomic bomb or something. It's actually quite simple if you got a few pounds of uranium and some TNT lying around

@Fab: It's not often in the news, but dolphins have a reputation of being eh rather promiscuous and they are not eh, racist is not the word, hm specist (?) either, so living and swimming with dolphins? Not me. They can be noughty basterds. But quite intelligent and thanks to them for saving drowning people and guiding ships in shallow waters. If they had hands and a voice box god knows what their crafts and concerns would be....

I am more than willing to help act as the guru in residence to help you work on the effectiveness of the media being put out there. 

Thanks for your lengthy reply, but I feel this is more along the line of Fabrizio's thinking. I made this thread to share the idea of a rather different concept, that doesn't really need the upper hand of teachers or professors. The users ARE the professors. Atleast for a few minutes a time. The twitter of a marriage between youtube and wikipedia sort off, where the users produce the lessons and is moderated through ranking and search algorithms similar to google's system and all the other tools of the trade. This would also yield valuable data on tons of people's interests and search history which is the invisible gold to take over for the yellow, the green and the black gold. 

Yes! This is exactly one use case I've been thinking about with the Service/Job portal I was kinda trying to get after something like those webshows you mention here on the other post when trying to lure you to keeping the online course for the Illustrator

Hehe, nah, I just used ^{_{those naughty sites}} as an example of existing technology, with well developed pay-per-view solutions. I'm not thinking about

 to have interactive "classes" online to fit a wide broad of uses...

Infact, I'm not talking about classes at all, but seeing how some of the most popular channels at YouTube are presenting daily or weekly life-hacks, walkthroughs for games, well, educational stuff. 

My idea is to make such a "micro-lesson" site, where people all over the world could post shorts conforming to the format, let's say a minute's length or two, and get real credits for their efforts, payed in crypto currency, like Freicoins. How they present the lessons must be visual, like an old general showing off his shoe-shining trick or a kid showing how to solve any Rubik's cube combination in 29 operations. There could be challenges and bounties to solving classical math problems and a separate category for anything Schrödinger. 

The class could be held totally without webcams since you're so shy (  ), by only using screen sharing. I believe theres applications already where you can have a "webcam chat" but only share your screen and audio. Like google hangouts? Similar end result could be also achieved with Skype group calls, by installing one of those apps that create a virtual webcam for you that you select in the Skype settings to be used for the session.

Or then by just having the "one way" share by using TeamViewer. Have the ~students for your class connect to your TeamViewer session, so they only see what your doing on the computer, and you dont see anything from them. And have the Mumble for audio chat, where you could mute the students for the while you're teaching. You could have the Mumbles text chat on the screen, so when someone has a question they could ask it there in text, or just request a "voice" for you to unmute them and allow them voice their question  

This is how I understand your project, I'm not really into that, allthough I got this idea after reading the OP in your thread. Like I said I am a terrible teacher, and shyness is not the issue. It's complicated, but I'm basically a hatter with the odd serious hallucinations and well, there are situations I try to avoid. But a twitter-youtube focused on tips and tricks? That's more like my cup of tea.

But yeah! I really like the idea for listing just micro-lessons 

Micro-lessons check. Quick solutions to any problem known to man. The ultimate hipster reference point. Think about it. How many times lately did you pick up your phone to google the solution to some trivial question? You go to wikipedia, look through youtube and try out a few links in google. That's the niche or demand such a site could fill. It's quite different from your concept, that's why I made a thread on it's own. Hope you're fine with that No hard feelings I hope

Project in short:

To build a site where users post requests for answers and practical and visualised solutions to problems of any sort, and a place for people to share any knowledge they possess presented as short clips of a few minutes each, and earn a few coins doing it. Part archive, part community.

It was Fabrizio that got me thinking when he suggested I should make some online Illustrator course. Though I am not comfortable with the teaching part, I got an idea. For besides me and my illustrator magic there are tons of nerds like me and other people out there with a similar rather narrow skill or expertise into something, and what I have come up with is the idea for an answers.com slash youtube.com slash lynda.com hybrid. Short solutions to every need.

Idea is to offer something better than what is already out there. To fill a gap I insist exists. A place where a professional window washer teach how to properly wash windows. A guy who has been working as aviation mechanic for 50 years teach people how to properly clean chainsaw engines. A 3 minute short history of the ups and downs in the Roman Empire. What are LED lights made of? People participating get paid via a rating system and a basic donation system distributing the site's income to its content providers, the users, and there should be more than enough for an extra bonus for the ones who run and own the place too.

Life-hacks, walkthroughs, wizardry and all sorts of subjects, questions seeking answers and problems needing solutions where people upload in response to these requests posted by other users. Anyone can request a solution to virtually any question. Let's say there would be a limit to the contributors to talk and walk in less than 3 minutes in understandable English. (See walkthrough further down the page). Registered users could then post shorts made with a simple app provided by the site, working with a camera and with a simple screen capture solution etc., or simply by uploading a video the user has prepared him- or herself. There would have to be some kind of moderation to avoid people posting illegal or annoying material of course. One answer I could request in this regard, could be for instance How does youtube.com manage to effectively moderate all its video clips?

note: it's just a mock-up sketch, so no need to comment on the colours, name or logo or other things

Edited to add:

For example, in services, someone (*wink wink* Prometheus *wink wink*) could post something like:

Like I said in the other thread, I like the idea, I just don't like the idea of being a teacher myself. Started writing a lengthy reply here, but it turned out to be a thread on its own. I would love to hear you comments in http://freicoinalliance.com/topic/26-micro-lessons-platform/ -- it sort of spins off of this thread here, but still different.

I am not a terrible teacher. I can certainly help you and have kids focus on basics that can get them started on logo design. 

 

Basic lesson follows:

 

Identify the item you are going to teach.

Demonstrate the item you are teaching.

Have the students identify and practice what you taught.

I couldn't possibly teach them anything you couldn't find out by googling graphic design on the net. I am probably the typical worst case scenario in any teaching situation. That was also the main reason I quit the university, when I realised that the only few jobs I could get after finishing my degree would be in teaching. I can't stand teaching. Used to be a drum teacher. Turned my hair grey. Then blue. And then normal again. 

Like I said, a Q & A of some sort could be arranged I suppose. 

A little off-topic, so I'll keep this short.. I was more of thinking/hoping for some "live" teaching sessions Like mentioned, there's many good courses/tutorials online, both free and commercial, but live sessions where the participants could ask questions after or during the class are prettymuch under the rock when you would need them Of course, one could hire a professional for one-to-one sessions, but its often pretty expensive or time consuming to find a proper teacher. And group classes are usually more fun anyways TeamViewer + Mumble sessions or similar... but yeah.. off-topic, so lets discuss this in another thread ^^

Can't wait for the dolphin version! 

Hehe, for the videos, we could use the same kind of platform those cam chicks use. Go private sort of thing. I could be an internet hooker and make big money! Wiii But seriously, no, I don't think so. I would have to dedicate myself too much to it, it would absorb too much of my time. Time I can spend reading books and ranting on forums. That and I couldn't possibly afford the hair-extensions and the golden platform shoes I would need for the shots. But it's a good idea that could be done. But I'm just so not a teacher. It would end in a third world war or and ice age or something. But sometimes in the future? Perhaps, if I really need the money or something. And there's a functional model there. Buy a cam-script, pay software gurus coins to set up a web camera solution and talk the horse. Close up.

For some reason, John Lilly popped into mi mind from reading yer comment.. went on to find a pic of him and landed on this page: http://mindprod.com/animalrights/obitlilly.html

Is that the same dolphin guy I read about a while back who conducted a long term experiment involving a dolphin, a water-tank-appartment and a half naked woman tossed in some LSD and then wait and see what happens, leading to some rather amazing inter-species behaviour? It strikes me how this guy seems very out-of-time. Like someone living in the future with access to all kinds of scientific research, then beam back 100 years and make a fortune and play with some dolphins. Sort of makes sense to me.

But anyways, good read and I agree with your view   Decentralized and autonomous programs running on blockchains as future "kings", where indeed the "peasants" will have the possibility to choose the one they like.. or several ones they like 

Political parties and big corps today, nations tomorrow issuing currency with built in tax and stock systems and health insurances and many other things. Blockchain or not, the technology that will win the race and survive the digital currency evolution, must be simple as cash and as versatile and secure as fiat credit.

Historian, Howard Zinn

Perhaps it's just me, but that looks an awful lot like Republican senator Ron Paul after a few too many bloodymerries. Like his reasoning though, although it sounds rather paranoid

Good stuff Prometheus

Really like the "multidimensionality" of the bird, though I hafta agree with the few people that think the bird looks a little mean at a first glance

Haha, the shark comment and pic at freicoin forums was hilarious If ye have the time, I'd love to see a version of a little more fatter/rounder head for the bird... and a dolphin body version! 

Thought about the dolphin one actually, I'll keep it in mind, perhaps I'll try a few adjustments to the shape and find the better one. Suppose I could pump up it's head a notch to see what that might look like too. All good stuff   Back to the drawing board. When time is right.

And also! Your way of explaining the topics you discuss is loud and clear, so I'd think you'd do fine teaching some Illustrator use   I'd be interested and more than willing to spend some kria for online course if you end up keeping one! 

I'm a terrible teacher I'm afraid, but I sort of know Illustrator like the back of my hand, so perhaps one day I could put together a few walk-throughs or something, the basic stuff, the stuff companies charge their clients for, the knowhow. It's a bit like bicycling, once you know the moves, it works by itself if you have any talent for shapes and geometry, typography and drawing, nothing is made by itself. I wouldn't want it to be used for counterfeiting, better looking and more convincing spam or clone jobs, now, would I? That could be hard to explain. But yea, perhaps I could drum up some shiny tutorials or something for the right amount of these coins one day I suppose. I have already thought about that too. I'm not sure I can make it this side of Harmagheddon though

I'll do my best, but I'm a terrible teacher. But some sort of Q&A could be arranged I suppose. I can't teach them much about design really, I work mostly by intuition, but I suppose I could share some tips and tricks with them to get them going.

First thing they will have to learn in Illustrator is to use modifier-keys on the keyboard together with the mouse (in Illustrator you construct with both hands) and get to know the toolbars and learn the most important operations. Then another thing they could do would be to take some pictures of some objects, get them up on the screen and learn tracing. I can thank Disney for much of my Illustrator and designing skills. Disney drawings are great to get a feel with shapes of different kinds. In Illustrator you don't draw as such, you typically draw something traditionally with pen and paper or you take a shot of an object with a camera, then you import these things into Illustrator and you typically simplify and manipulate the shapes put them together in different ways, couple it with some sort of typography to form a logo or an illustration. It's a great and very powerful tool that lets out your creativity if you manage to crack the code. 

Kool. I think that somewhere in the adobe.com site you can find some tutorials and courses. I'll try to keep my eyes up and give you a nod if I find something you can use.

Some of the students at CMS are keen on learning how to design an FRC logo.

 

What free software could we use?

I use Adobe Illustrator CC (for drawing and constructing) and some Adobe Photoshop CC (for pictures, like the balloon pic etc) which is basically the industry standard. Now these apps are quite expensive and Illustrator can be quite hard to learn, but if you are using an old computer, there is supposed to be a free (legacy) version of Adobe Illustrator out there, even the complete CS2 package I believe, but you have to use XP I think, alt. MacOS 8 or 9 to make it work (there is no Linux version). I recommend you download via Adobe.com, it should be available, but you'd might have to register to get to the download. There are a few tutorials and walkthroughs out there that could help setting the kids' creativity in motion

Search in Google ==> adobe cs2 free download full version -- and look for an (official) adobe.com link (came up first in my search), you will need an AdobeID (registration is free), which can be useful for other things too, like finding official Adobe tutorials, support and so on. If some of your students manage to crack "the Illustrator code" it may open quite a few doors for a future career within design and advertising etc. It's not impossible. I taught myself these apps back in the 90's and the programs are basically exactly the same, the core is still the same. Even though the CS2 package is nearly 15 years old, it still kicks ass, I could easily have made the logo in Illustrator CS2, or for that matter Illustrator88, the first version released in 1988.

Now there are a few Photoshop clones out there, I remember I used a program called Paint.NET for Windows which is actually quite powerful and free, and there is always Gimp, but for drawing? Not much around out there I'm afraid, except for the CS2 package I mentioned, if you can get your hands on it

==> http://www.adobe.com/

==> http://www.getpaint.net/

==> http://www.gimp.org/

Besides, there is always the old-school methods and techniques, they still work -- You'll come a long way with a straightedge and a pair of compasses and a few pens. It worked quite well for a few millennia until we got computers Illustrator replaced the straightedge and compass, while Photoshop replaced the photo/repro lab, and finally InDesign replaced paste-up, traditional type setting and layout.

If you manage to get the CS2 package off of Adobe's webpage, you could set up a few old computers with XP and have Illustrator and Photoshop installed and get a complete industry standard design lab, for free. I am not sure CS2 includes InDesign, but there is a chance it does. InDesign is the main tool for paste-up and layout, putting everything together for printing.

Anyway, good luck! I hope this answered your question

Love the new chat! Maybe i'll start using freicoinalliance.com as my new irc-client.

Works fine! Well done!

I believe the future of nations is borderless and landless. There will be traditional states and national denominations also in the future, but I believe we will also see the advent of decentralised nations issuing passports and legal security to people living anywhere in the world. Some sort of unions or organisations issuing economic and juridical frameworks for it's subjects. 

A nation is its people, it's tax-system and its laws, not politics and billion dollar elections or millions of square feet of more or less useless landmass. Most politicians are basically laymen with big mouths and an untamed desire to have the last say, and often, the people working for these politicians are normally much higher educated and are in most cases the people who actually do what the elected politicians have negotiated.

I believe the time of politics and traditional 'king and conquer' belongs to the past. Only in the last 50 years have we seen what could be called "just kings" or "reasonable governments", then again during this time nearly all kings were relieved from their power and the national govs were put under UN scrutiny and other international charters. Kings were turned into what they really are-- archaic hatstands. Very expensive archaic hatstands. The future will bring nations where people are not bound to live in a specific place or pay taxes to the ones who actually owns all your property (they just make you pay for it so you can pretend you actually own land, but in real world you actually don't really own anything), and cashing in 10 times it's value in a normal lifetime.

The new kings will run their nations like businessmen and scientists, and issue health insurance and educational services and sort out trade agreements and offer security and diplomatic services etc. And they will have to deliver quality and be really good at it in order to keep their subjects loyal. In the future we will not elect wankers to be on top, but we will simply choose our nation among many available ones, based on what is best for you and your family, your business, economy, education and health etc. 

How does this apply to Freicoin? Well, it's a Frei world out there waiting to be conquered. And that world needs ingenuity like demurrage and the idea of a coin without denominations finding value in the cost of making it-- it's a good one. When will we see the first such nations? Give it 20 years, and I guess people are probably talking about it. At least Richard Branson of Virgin and Dietrich Mateschitz of Red Bull.

The first thing such a nation will need is *drumroll* -- currency. Well, it could issue it's own fiat or choose dollars, but cash and banks cost more than it tastes. Such a nation will needs a currency like Bitcoin and Freicoin, and their coins themselves will be their stocks, tax and payment combined. 

I believe internet and crypto currency are the first major steps towards the development of landless nations. In the future, our nation will be in the cloud. Below is a sketch for the flag of my Global Kingdom of Mitoria:

I love the old logo as well with the bird just not the color. Washes out the bird and too hard to see in a icon small format.

Yes, I agree, it's a nice logo, but there are many issues with it. Firstly it's like you say, it's hard to see the bird, and the drawing is very detailed, and the whole logo is transparent so it changes appearance quite drastically when pasted on different colour backgrounds. 

Also, and this is the most important thing, it's not vectorised and cannot be used in printed publications, the available versions are simply too small, and no CMYK version is available to my knowledge. The colour changing thing is actually a cool thing in my mind, but like I said over at the Freicoin community forum, it makes the outcome quite unpredictable.

Over at the other forum I also said that -- Freicoin should go for a clean, vectorised brand, made to be reproduced in all sizes and formats and on any medium. I could redraw the blue one to fix all these problems, but the blue logo has quite a few issues as it is, and a complete redesign ground up would not only fix the problems, it would reshape Freicoin's visual identity and be a refreshing soma-refill.

Anyway, for now, use the one below, it's the official Kria badge and the typography is from the 3d coin-logo:

Originals for the badge can be found at ==> https://github.com/freicoin/freicoin/tree/master/share/pixmaps
