Still, if people could compare with their personal wallets, that would help. But it's more complicated with old wallets that have imported private keys, suffered dropped transactions, and get regular deposits from mining.
 
Did you compare yours, Acurus?

... and dove deep into Abe code and found and modified the key lines. ????

Throw some creds to @Skaro who played alot with the math

This is amazing! Well done thank you.

Ok, it is not exactly like fiat money. But i see what is happening today and lay it on this model. If there is a monthly inflation in prices of 1%, the prices are rounded to the next higher cent. 1.05,- would end up as 1.07.- not 1.06.-. For small businesses this makes no big change but for large it makes a real difference. So as fast rising prices are too confusing for most people and the big corporations will profit more. The result is inequality and rising prices that are slowly eating up the basic income like inflation in fiat money slowly dissolves loans.
Summarized: Using inflation to redistribute wealth is just not working IMHO. We need an active approach like a wealth tax or - even better - just demurrage. Or a debt cut.

No. but doing some new tests on p2pool after the softfork as now from what i see there is no tx to foundation and the blocks are more normal. Will report back

My aim is Zero poverty as well. FRC can help with that aim I am certain.

Without interest money will circulate. Freicoin is the way.

Hi there felixlm,
welcome to the freicoin alliance forum. I did not get every detail in your plan, but as someone that already build a basic income on the blockchain (Worldleadcurrency - that was active 2 years before grantcoin started.) the hardest part is to get a critical mass of users to get a system going. As soon as this happens there could be further ideas to be developed. That should be more effective than the other way around.
There have been extensive ideas to get a basic income involved in freicoin and all the economic implications possible. What i see is that basic income has a very vague community and most of them still think that it can be applied in fiat money, what is ridiculous looking at the momentous power structures associated with fiat money (Central Banks, Hedgefonds etc.).
And to me Grantcoin is a nice project but it is just fiat money with a basic income. And as far as the theory for freicoin is considered it will lead to ever rising prices, that will again give advantages to big cooperations.
I do not understand all what you have planed but to get as many users as possible my impression is to make it as simple as possible.
To a UBI with Freicoin: Many here on the board are thinking about it, BUT as Freicoin has no sustainable supply for a basic income (all new coins go to miners now) it would run out of funds soon. The idea behind Freicoin is demurrage, not UBI. If it would be UBI it would be designed in a complete other way - much more like my coin.
Another thing to consider: The intersection between blockchain and UBI is very small and most of the actors involved have their own ideas how to get started. And as the interest often falls down during economic more stable times, it is important to keep the core functions managable with a low personal intervention. If a currency want to include these ideas and many of those people (multiplier) than it again has to be simple.
So, what exactly are your milestones, what is your plan. How to get a community?

Hi here are some of my questions:
----I'm quite against the idea of bitcoin or friecoin using a fixed amount of currency and let market decide the value. Especially its very prompt for founders/investor to hog huge % of the currency, or mining to create new coins. ----
Who else but the market should decide the price? Price regulations always result in a flourishing black market what is most of the market in crypto. Binding it to fiat money is dangerous, cause they also tend to crash..
---basic income for business----
Are the businesses also given money? I do not see any advantages here
---Combined income will be open to investors or banks etc to fund loans required.----
Additional to the BI there are loans for investors and banks given?
 
Thanks again.

I think we are already trying to do that within the Freicoin Alliance. We are already committed to doing a number of projects using FRC. That is where I think I would spend my time. I don't think we need to add more complexity to what we already have. We need to work on FRC and the things we already have in place.

I invite anyone who wants to add to FRC to join us in our effort. We in the FRC Alliance are keen on working towards Universal Income and we have as a key point in our plans. But to do that we need a viable coin. FRC needs an active pool, exchange, forum and needs to be listed for it to have any hope of success and getting more people using FRC. I hope you join us since FRC demurrage really is all we need to work towards a more equitable world. Demurrage currency has worked in the past. We can make it work now with help.

Hi felixlim,
sorry for the late answer. I like your attitude, but like you said there are many other good systems and technologies and it is a very hard for a "new" idea to be noticed. Even bitcoin is small compared to the overall volume and altcoins are even smaller. So the possibility to "fail" is high. The good thing is: there is a huge potential during the coming global financial crisis.
To me personally i do not like to be dependent on investors. And to bind a part of the basic income to businesses is a unnecessary ballast, because it do not contribute much to the system.The true value comes from the people that are willing to pay (with time, work or money) for your currency because they see a value in it.
To me the basic income idea is also secondary as the main goal is to redistribute wealth. Basic income is just the most convenient way to spread the wealth collected by demurrage introduced by freicoin.
The main question stays: how to mobilize or form a community that is willing to use a basic income money system, not based on fiat money.
Greetings Rik

10/10 nodes on version 3

They did not write back, so i guess they are too busy, or they gave up on vircurex or freicoin.
To the question: Both is the Case but when they switch to the new wallet the wallet should recognize that the transaction was never received by the network and recover them automatically. All that is left to be done for vircurex is to resend the transaction. But nobody knows if or when they react :-(
Rik

Also blockexplorer is getting back on track now.

Withdrawals seem also to work fine. Maybe some Hacker started ddos..?

Although Vircurex is online again i will keep the thread alive.
But also as OTC trading. As common for OTC trades you can send me pms for non- public requests. These will not be entered here and will be completely done via the forum personal chat.

Just popping in before xmas with a ideea.
Played abit with creating a multiplatform for both work as a frcjam / escrow service as it's not that hard to work out a working scheme to actually make it work.
But if i am going to do this, i will build a complete platform for Project funding, escrow and possible a very simple trade engine.
FreiExchange (frcjam,escrow and trading)
FRCJAM:
Create zero intrest loans. Possible with funding with frc, wlc, btc and cash? If btc/wlc/cash it would be automatic converted to FRC in platform to make some coins circluate.  Payout in frc/btc? 
Escrow:
As topic says, simple escrow service for user to user trades. 
Trading:
Simple orderbook with buy/sells where users can buy and sell freicoins. Also market for jam cash/btc/wlc -> FRC conversion  to fund the projects. 
Attaching a simple possible look on the jam section. I have a lot of code laying around to construct into one platform. 
Just air it as an ideea.
 
 

Vircurex is alive again it seems

Well only because they were offered very cheap doesn't mean they are not worth much more ;-). However, thanks for the offer.

More glamour shots of the chocolates. 

These photos will be used for a photographic business' 2017 calendar.

I will try and get some free copies of it to send to you guys.

These are not the final touched up photos just the raw ones if you can imagine these being any better.

1+2. The attempt to promote the coin is indeed pointess when you have close to zero support from any dev. That is why i started WLC which has merge mining included and the association % payout to redistribute the coin is fixed for all times plus it is much easier to keep a currency alive and on an exchange when you can influence its development. FRC sure still has a role to play during the next (even bigger) financial crisis but it has no sustainable redistribution mechanism, what makes the demurrage useless in my eyes.
3. You said it: These are only features, there is nothing completely new no real innovation just pump and dump schemes. Ethereum tried it but just looking at the DAO disaster lets one guess how hard it is to supersede conventional centralized solutions with blockchain.
People are very short minded. The forget to easily how disastrous our money system is. As soon as it shows its evil face again they be back, i promise. To summarize a stock market wisdom: Buy the freaking dip.

Its Lubuntu 14.04 32 bit

Are you using windows?
Yes, on Windows it is a little bit different. On Ubuntu/Linux this is usable without problems.
Have you tried WOW64. It should run automatically but maybe it isnt?
