    Hi All!
     
    After a long summer i am back to work with the Freicoin again. It's been hectic but at least now i have some spare time to do some work again. It's limited but the free moments i have will be to improve things around here.
     
    Currently mining pool has been set up again inhouse to make sure there is no interuptions. Badly the backup did not want to play nicely with the latest MPOS software so i had to reset to a clean pool. If you want to do mining again you have to register again. We only have 5 confirms on each block and gives a 5 FRC bonus on each found block.
    http://freicoinpool.com
     
    This server has also been upgraded to newer hardware as we had some replacements on the house. Things are refurbished and put online with freicoin related services.
     
    Electrum server has been restored also. You can access this on electrum.freicoinalliance.com
    You can get the latest Electrum wallet for Freicoin at https://github.com/FreicoinAlliance/electrum-frc/releases
     
    I will continue to fix small things as they come up and keep these services running. 
     
    Of course nothing is free I would be happy for any donation made to keep my spirits up for running I'll do it anyway as i support freicoin fully with what i can offer and what services i can deploy to help the coin.
     
    Bitcoin donation address :1HpqQsT1f4A1Ggz8kszuoB2zXMJ9myaMZU
    Freicoin donation address:  12jpoDhcRe2iSwbN6A75aUqiA5LgKybsKR
     
    So lets' make the 2016 a freicoin year! 
     
    Peace out

    Hi guys,
     I've lost the hosting for machine three for the next few weeks at least. The machines have to go on the guest  IP range at work so it's not seen on the main network. and we have now run out of IP address' due to some training going on at work. We've asked corp IT to increase our range but its not high priority at the moment .
     
    It wont be forever but Need to check what everyone wants to do about it. I can Offer the units for sale on ebay or i can Just throw them back on once we have the new range or the training dies down and let them plod away (we get free power which is great I would'nt want these noisy, power hingry units at home)
     
     
    Let me know. I'll be checking the forums or you can email / facebook me direct. I might take a few hours to answer as we have a family member in hospital at the moment. dont worry i will answer
     
    thanks,

    I'm not sure what he means by that, I can always add a bigger list of nodes if needed.
     
     
    The wallet only stores block headers and transactions related to it's addresses, it's not suppose to be a fully functioning node with a full blockchain
     
     
    Hm, do you mean the transaction got stuck, or are you saying that demurrage isn't being applied to the balance while sitting?
     
    If the transaction got stuck try resetting the blockchain
    But if you mean that demurrage is not being applied while sitting, it's not suppose to. Neither freicoind or the block explorer does this. Only during a transaction does it get applied.
     
     
    I have the source code, but fedde has asked me not to release it until the wallet is complete.

    Mollycat reacted to Arcurus in Discussion about the Donation matching - Letter to the Freicoin Foundation   
    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

    All submitted
     
    Couple of things though - I couldnt find a general Email address for us to use so I  Added my own one  i can change it later if thats okay - Just so i can keep an eye on the addition and make changes
    I added us in the same category as the foundation is in ( we fall into several so thought best to  keep us in that  - again we can change it if need be )
     
    I also set us up a bitcoin address which is : 1MWR3nWHrqJyVnGUnAM6xtXxidtSvjcji8

    Mollycat reacted to Fabrizio in [Query of Interest] Mining + Organic farming project   
    I've decided to acquire some more mining equipment and got this phunny idea of combining a mining and farming project into one, so lets see if there is any people interested in participating on this
     
    I live in a section of an old barn and during winter times have to use electricity for heating. So far I have heated just this one room I linger in, and last winter replaced my heaters with miners (gpu rigs and antminer s1's), which were enough for this one room. Now I got a dozen more of these miners, so will heat this room + the kitchen area with them 
    I've also kept a grow tent in my room during the winter time, to produce chillies, tomatoes, cucumbers and salads for my own use. But, since this barn has a lot of room, I thought of expanding the grow area and offer the extra harvest for sale

    So, the idea for community mining + farming if theres interest:
    I have reserved a small room for the farming expansion and have already decided to go for 3x AntMiner S2's, which should be enough for this room. If there's enough people interested, the space could be expanded further
    Income from mining could be shared equally with the Fedde's share system. Electricity costs could be covered in either FRC, or then from the sale of the produce from the farming I could also cover a chunk of the electricity costs, since part of it is free for me.
    I could also cover the costs of setting up the space (building materials, pots, growin medium, lights, nutrients etc.)
    So what would be needed to be paid by interested people, would be the mining hardware costs + some of the electricity costs ^^

    I can get the three S3's cheaply from my friend, and there's a lot of other older hardware for sale in Finnish crypto forums which I could pick up. Seems like the avarage price for 1TH is around 1BTC, but I'd guess if theres enough people to buy a chunk of them, we could get them cheaper

    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?

    Well I've been looking into it and i'm still 100% how it would work as a charity in the normal sense of the word
     
    As the Alliance was set to promote FRC via different channels - Including, but not limited to, Donations, micro-loans, Faucet, giveaways  and anything else we can think of to promote use and takeup - I dont  think we can be classed as a charity... I'm still not 100% sure thoug. if it was Fiat we were dealing with it may be more clear cut.  As we are not just helping those in need and are actually trying to promote a "product" i'm think we might fall more into  a non profit organisation - So it maybe that we should look more at that side?
     
    http://www.resourcecentre.org.uk/information/legal-structures-for-not-for-profit-organisations/
     
    Perhaps along the lines of Co-operatives or Workers’ Co-operatives or even a limited company ( we would just have operating profits in the sence of Fiat being held).
     
     
    In all this research I need to point something out for transparency about myself .
     
      I am currently entered into an IVA  (Individual voluntary arrangement) with my creditors (nothing major... I managed to build up bills with my credit card company(s) over the years and I'm Paying it off. I pay an agreed amount every month untill the debt's is finished (a few years to go). Taught me a valuable lesson and it's something that led me to be interested in Freicoin. Anyway  from looking into things it does stop me from being a treasurer for a charity (something I didn't know untill i started looking into it). 
     
    Of course me saying that and then saying a charity may not be the way to go might look like a conflict of interests and I'll happily step aside if anyone does think that way. I'm more than happy to help out in any way possible. I'm happy to supply details of my IVA and how and where it can be checked via PM. If anyone has any concerns then please let me know. I dont want to damage the Alliance or Freicoin in any way So if  you would rather i take a more "back seat" role i will.
     
    If you want to talk about it with me and raise any concerns  please get in touch - I have nothing to hide and have always been very open about myself.
     
    Thanks,

    Mollycat reacted to Mark Friedenbach in Freicoin & sidechains: open for business!   
    By this point I assume that everyone here has heard about the new venture capital funded startup that is making waves in the Bitcoin space with its public unveiling and the release of the sidechains whitepaper. You may have also noticed that beyond being co-authors of the paper, Jorge and myself are co-founders of this new company. I’ll avoid mentioning it by name because I want to speak to the Freicoin community here, not people finding this thread through Google. Why are Jorge and myself proponents of sidechains? Why have we joined up with an ostensibly bitcoin-focused company? What does this mean for Freicoin? I hope to answer these questions.

    The promise of sidechains is simple: by pegging asset value across chains, users are given the freedom to apply functionality of one chain (e.g. privacy offered by monero, or p2p markets provided by freimarkets) to assets originating on another (e.g. bitcoin or freicoin). Want to send your coins anonymously? Send them to a chain that supports ring signatures or zerocash protocol. Want to participate on a peer-to-peer marketplace? Send your coins to a chain that supports native asset extensions, such as freicoin with the freimarkets extensions.

    Sidechain is a new word for a rather old concept -- we had an early semi-trusted version of it in our first freimarkets proposal. Certainly the concept pre-dates bitcoin itself, as payment network gateways fulfill a similar role in the legacy financial system. However the trustless setup invented in whole by Greg Maxwell and independently in pieces by numerous others allows the gateway role to be fulfilled without trusting anything other than correct operation of a mechanical system. No longer is there a service in the middle able to steal funds or operate on fractional reserve, or the systemic risk which arises from such behavior being commonplace.

    So, sidechains are exciting because they allow permissionless innovation. The two-way peg allows innovation in the space of block chain applications without fragmenting the marketplace with a new free-floating p2p currency for each project. The return peg is, in a way, the last major change that need ever happen to bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, the one change to rule them all.

    Some people have over-hyped sidechains as “the death of altcoins.” I don’t like this language, but if sidechains harold the death of any coins, it is clone coins which have no differentiating characteristics from bitcoin. There is no longer any reason for native currencies to exist on namecoin, monero, zerocash, or other such “feature chains.” But worry not: freicoin is different species of currency which behaves different from bitcoin: the fixed inflationary or demurrage currency. Because such a currency is fundamentally compatible with bitcoin and able to exist side-by-side, freicoin holders need not fear that their niche will someday be displaced by bitcoin.

    Rather than be threatened by sidechain technology, freicoin stands to benefit greatly. Freicoin need no longer be isolated in its own ecosystem, or limited by its poor adoption. By introducing desired features, in particular issued assets, privacy enhancing technology, and larger dynamic block sizes, the freicoin block chain could very likely see an influx of users bringing their bitcoins to our chain to do business. Open for business is the motto of the new freicoin block chain containing two-way pegged assets such as bitcoin.

    Jorge and myself are particularly motivated to work on sidechain technology because it makes deployment of block chain technology innovation easier. Freicoin, freimarkets, and republicoin: these are all innovative applications of cryptocurrency technology which could not or would not ever be deployed to the main bitcoin block chain. But they can become accessible to the bitcoin ecosystem by means of the freicoin block chain, if and when freicoin is given sidechain features.

    Not only does this bring new users, but freicoin users also stand to benefit from greater integration. By having more services track and support the freicoin block chain, it becomes easier for these services to support freicoin as a transactional currency. Instead of bringing freicoin to the market, we bring the markets home to freicoin.

    In summary, by fixing longstanding issues in the bitcoin ecosystem, freicoin stands to gain new users and strengthen its position. And unlike other potential sidechains, freicoin has a perpetual mining subsidy through its native demurrage currency that gives our block chain mining incentives that are known to work, providing security buffer other sidechains would be lacking. Even if these new users primarily transact in bitcoin, this remains a tremendously good thing for holders of freicoin currency.

    That’s the vision. But to get from here to there requires quite a bit of work, much more than is possible to be done by a few volunteers. By founding a company around sidechains and getting funded, we have been able to secure the resources necessary to make sure that not only sidechain technology gets implemented and deployed, but also all the cool extensions to bitcoin (e.g. freimarkets) that inspired us to propose sidechains in the first place.

    Our employment contracts were specifically constructed such that the company has no claim to the intellectual property underlying freicoin, the freicoin code base, the freicoin branding, or anything else about the freicoin project, now or going into the future. Furthermore we have a specific moonlighting exception that allows us to continue contributing to freicoin moving forwards, including merging into freicoin of open-sourced code written for the company’s own products. And while I cannot be specific about what the company is working on right now, needless to say Jorge and I were brought in because of our work on freimarkets and other extensions of the bitcoin protocol we originally proposed to be implemented on the freicoin block chain. As such open source technology matures within the company, we will be regularly merging such features that are desired by the freicoin community into the freicoin reference client.

    I'm drafting another post detailing what I foresee as a potential freicoin development roadmap, including both ideas for rebranding and hard fork features that might make it in 2015. In the mean time, I'd be happy to entertain any questions about sidechains and their impact to freicoin. Additionally, barring any technical glitches I'll be participating in the Freicoin Alliance meeting as well.

    For all you savages and earthly ladies out there, I offer you these traditional Viking goods from Land of Giants, the country of thousand lakes; Finland

    * * * * * * * * * New / 2018

    [item] Chillie sauce

    Fatalii Jigsaw x Carolina Reaper

    [Description] If ye dont know these strains and expect a nice little kick for ya' cookinn's, dont order these
     
    [Comments] Wanna punish ya'sself? Or maybe torture your friend? This schitt be good for that. Either eat this schitt or apply to ya'h ballz.

    [special Notes] Don't order this unless ye know what ye be doing...  
    Or, if you wish, I can dilute the sauce for ya if ye wish.. request herbs / ingredients to do it with and I'll see what I can do!
    (currently available local "organic" herbs: dandelion flower, dandelion root, basil, lemon balm, hemp (finola)... ugh... just check herbs grown in Finland and ask me if I have it ;))



    * * * * * * * * * Old: 
    [item] Vihta / Vasta
    [Description] Hand made Birch vihta. Consists of branches from Betula pendula and Betula pubescens species. Made during this past summer, under the instruction of an oldschool viking spirited geezer The leaves are firmly attached to branches, so should be good for couple of sauna sessions for one brute Collected from forests of Etelä-Savo, where nearest "big" city is 35 km away.
     
    [Comments] What is a vihta you ask? Well, as already tipped in the description, its something used in sauna Vihta is a collection of dozens of birch branches, with leaves still attached, tied together.. kinda like a collection of flowers This stick bouquet though, is used during sauna sessions to whack yourself all over the body, while shouting PERKELE!!! ... The yelling part is optional though, but proper vikings put their soul into it, hehehe
    If you dont know what sauna is... you're missing out on some good enjoyment! Educate yourself on wikipedia: Finnish Sauna
    Using a vihta in sauna can boost your blood circulation and clean your skin. Birch leaves also have beneficial properties and are used in traditional healing and aroma therapy.
     
    [special Notes] A little bit of a sales pitch here, but the viking spirited geezer who showed and instructed me how to make these vihtas properly, suffered some health issues and is currently in hospital care. I will dedicate the funds from the sale of these vihtas towards his care If you havent had a sauna session with a vihta, I would really appreciate if you'd try once with one of these ^^
     
    [Quantity available] *ugh*... ?
    [Min. order] 1 vihta
    [Price] Half a bottle of spirits, maybe?
