Yes, they have a nice concept. But as i mentioned i am not convinced that it is adorable, since they use inflationary money with some of the same problems we have in our modern money system.

Inflation still justify interest what will still concentrate money. Though it is a little harder to concentrate money (the decades until the total collapse (like in the 1920s and nowadays) could increase. The problem will stay the same. Inflation will create ever growing prices and makes it impossible to track if a product is costing more than the UBI inflation or not. That alone makes it easy to manipulate and concentrate money within the hands of the few.

But hey people understand inflation, they do not understand demurrage, so maybe we need another generation of war and suffering to get from inflation to demurrage.

So, i found a way to add an extra payment gateway to woocommerce.

I will track the changes on github, but a first version is also here:

http://piratepad.net/jru6hnvaBT

First step is done i added an Solidar price to the product that is also shown at the product page when shopping.

Next:

- Show the total Solidar price of the complete order ( amount times price /each product)
- Show only the Pay with Solidar option before proceed to checkout.
- Generate a payment ID with the Solidar bot API.
- Check for the Payment before proceeding.

Im sure it will get tricky in the details - like how to hold the payment process before proceeding to checkout, but one finds a solution if one really wants it!

I hope this also works with multi vendor sites as the hooks may not be the same.

So, basically wordpress has two types of functionalities: actions and filters.

To activate an action you can use a hook that is like a specific timepoint. F.e. when loading the dashboard you can use a special hook that comes prior to add something to it.

In my case the WooCommerce plugin has a hook that can act as a checkpoint where i can interrupt before the actual payment and make some action (present the Bot payment ID and wait for payment confirmation).

How the action needs to be structured and programmed for that is the next question. And how there can be an extra field for the Solidar amount for each product and how they can be added at checkout.

First step is done ill inform about the process and put the source code online at github asap.

Hi, i had a deeper look into the plugin. As i can say it only makes a connection to the shops own bot. This is a cool feature for shops to increase UX but as i see there is no point where it can communicate with the Solidarbot. and because it is only after the sale it can't be used as well. (imho it is much easier to first settle the Solidar payment and then the fiat payment). However maybe the code can be useful in the future..

Yes i can, i will look into it and use all things that i can use. But it could take some time.

Hi,

i haven't programmed any website plugin until now but i think it is time. Is there anyone here that can point me in the right direction. Is it possible to have a pre processor plugin that first interacts with the Solidar BotNetwork and then roots the remaining payment to whatever plugin follows?

I hope in that way it is possible to integrate the split payment as a step before the actual payment what has the advantage that it would not need all the functions of the other payment plugins.

Freicoin-Qt going forward Anyone... anyone... BUHLER BUHLER?


So is anyone looking at taking on the Frecoin-Qt? 

Looking into the Freicoin-Qt means that the deamon has to be finished first. I dont see this happen in the near or mid future. But when it comes to the point that it needs to be tested/bugfixed i sure can throw some time at it..

Hello Rik,

just read that you want to use proof of stake to secure the chain. I made also some research into that and would be glad to share my research with you.

 

If you want to have more stable blocktimes there are also other more simple solutions for that:

TargetDifficuly = (TargetBlocktime /  TimeSinceLastBlock) * Difficulty

This could be implemented as soft fork. By default the Difficulty should be 1/2 of the normal difficulty.

For example a block that is created 5 minutes after the last block would need two times the difficulty then a block created after 10 minutes or four times the difficulty of a block created after 20 minutes since last block.

That would greatly help to provide stable blocktimes, even if in competition with other coins that have the same mining algorithm.

 

To bring more security to the coin you could also add a trusted node list like ripple or stellar does it.

If 80% of the nodes in the list agree, the block could not be undone.

The list should be set in a file, so that everybody could use his trusted node list.

On a later stage by default nodes could be added if they hold a certain amount of coins as security.

 

 

 

Thank you for the ideas, i am on integrating merchant accounts into the bot-network and its not my top priority atm. But I think long-term this will be definitely where Solidar is heading..

@Arcurus The current coin supply is extreme hard to tell (estimation above). you have to calculate the coins that are distributed by the bot minus demurrage (only a few hundred atm) and mined coins. Mined coins is also a bit tricky as the block reward was reduced but demurrage is still calculated on all previous mined coins -i made an estimation above-.

You can always check the number of registered users by sending "CountUser" to the bot.

Hi @Mark Friedenbach,

thank you a lot for the update! Is there any git-repository you use to keep track of the changes? I really like to contribute to the development, although my time is also limited and its possibly way above my skills ;-)

@fedde does it make sense to implement the importprivkey method into the bot? In that way you can use your own keys without installing a wallet..

Hi everybody,

to clearify how the bot is integrated into the Solidar blockchain i did a little overview:

Hi, to you and everybody else also merry christmas.

For anyone who want an additional UBI in #Solidar please follow us on twitter www.twitter/WINC_ev for the chance to win 10 Solidar tomorrow. ;-)

Greetings Rik

Great news! I am active in the Humaniq telegram group and they are working on the authentication of people via an android/ios app. They will use the front camera to track emotions that you have to perform when asked. With this system it is possible to identify persons without having any additional information.

To prevent that somebody use two accounts to receive two basic income. The identification data could be saved and compared when a new account is verified.

Although the Humaniq app doesn't support a functionality like that, the technology is not far from roll out. Plus they will have an api for other platforms/merchants to interact.

This could be a great leap forward i think.. I will stay on it and report.

Why FAZ when we already have the Freicoin?

Maybe because enrich the miners is no social cause?
