    You might not see the minor changes in balance if your precision is not high enough. Go to your wallet settings and change the amount of visible digits to 8

    I will have kids distribute their FRC and they have to write an explanation of what they intend to do with the coins.
    The kids have been told this is a no strings attached grant so they can do whatever they want with the FRC as long as they provide a report online to the forum about their plans and usage of the FRC.

    My students are ready to receive and divide up the 200.000 FRC Arc suggested.
    Challenges:
    1. Android FRC Wallet where can they download it?
    2. Iphone FRC Wallet where can they download it?
    3. I have asked one student to take the donation directly and then distribute it. I will have her post a note in the forum here for that with wallet information.

    How should we proceed?

    I have asked my students to use the mobile wallet for Freicoin to get payment from the Freicoin Alliance. One student will distribute the 200.000 FRC to the rest of the students as soon as we can get her a mobile version on her android phone. Is there are iphone version? As some of the students have Iphones.

    I am going to be asking our students to develop dutch bucket hydroponic systems that can help feed small families. This is something that can be subsidized as we are going to give labor freely as well as demonstrating to poor families how to maintain dutch bucket systems.

    This might be worthy of donations. I will have to brief my students and do a pilot project in school first then expand out to the community,

    We will interested in doing this and helping kids in poverty here locally near our school to register and get involved. 
     
    I will have our students map out how this can be done and who we need to target.
     
    We want to find kids who can't afford school uniforms and what not.
     
    Issue is how do we get the Freicoins / Rupiah in the hands of kids so that money goes directly to their educational costs.

    Sup Arcurus Sorry, been a lil out there for the summer and forgot to reply earlier
    Anyways, all went good and a nice harvest was shared. Since there was only a few people who participated, we went with the smaller greenroom.

    I'm currently organizing a group buy for parts to build DIY LEDs on another forum to prepare for a new round of winter growing. If theres interest or question aboots either, the LEDs or the co-op grow, lemme know

    Hi All,
    to make it more simple what do you think about starting an Freicoingiveaway to get some thinks started?
     
    I would suggest to give up to 500.000 Freicoins away, so that the giveaway gets some attention.
     
    The giveaway addresses individuals as equal as organisations (projects / enterprises)
     
    Everybody can apply through posting in the liquid democracy Adhocracy plattform why he / she is eligible to take part in the giveawy.
     
    Everybody is encouraged to comment on applications, as long as the comments stay polite.
     
    Applications from verified / known individuals / organizations naturally will have an higher priority.
     
     
    Applications can get follow up grants / giveaways in the future.
     
    The more an application fits to the goal of the Freicoin Alliance the more likely an giveaway will be given.
     
     
    The goal is to encourage cooperation, sharing of knowledge and a non harming fair economy.

    In short:
    - Encourage an fair economy
    - Encourage cooperation.
    - Encourage moving from harming to an non harming economy!
    - Encourage transparency
    - Encourage sharing of knowledge
    - Encourage decentralization
    - Encourage proagation of Freicoin
    ... Feel free to add
     
     
    Examples could be:
    - helping somebody
    - Installing / testing or programming some free / open source software
    - growing own food
    - donating some time or money to charities / common good projects
    - educate oneself, or help to educate others
    - help to propagate Freicoin
    - using Freicoin to buy some thing
    - verifying their account per video chat / local meeting
    - donging something, what you never did
    - encourage decentralization
    - buy / propagate ecological products
    - donate to common good projects and organizations
    - helping the underprivileged
    ...
     
    What do you think?
     
    All the good,
    MArtin

    Here are some giveaway suggestions for testing the micro lending and freipay project:
     
    Give 10% extra to each made loan plus limit the max given Freicoins per user to be fair.
     
    Something similar we could to with simple freipays tests.
     
    Like 10% Freicoins for donations made in bitcoin to bitcoin (just to dirstibute freicoins and support donations)
    25% from Freicoin to bitcoin
    50% from Freicoin to Freicoin
     
    If needed this would be limited per user like 5 freihours (50 dollar) per month per user.
     
    For the initial test I would suggest round about 300.000 Freicoins, thats currently round about one bitcoin.
     
    If it goes well we could extend it, and increase amount and add also payments to whitelisted projects.

    Hey hey hey  
    Like the idea of distributing some of the FA's Freicoins, Arcurus, *nods*
    While I have doubts (note: I'm not educated at all about economics) in "public" giveaways (where you just hand out free coins, like faucets) being that productive/beneficial, I like the idea of supporting co-operation and encouraging propagating ideals of Freicoin.

    Maybe you guys can comment on an idea I've been thinking of giving a try here locally?
    Offer giveaways for common-good projects, for example: 
    Have one day (for starters) a week, when you offer 10 FRC (or 1FreiHour) / hour salary for anyone that participates in a project for helping out the elderly, cleaning up/enhancing the public services, etc.
    "Public services" would be something that would enhance the local community in some way. Like here in this town; having an excercise/bingo/oldies music/documentary/chatting night in the local hospital, having an after-school "hangout" for school kids, or de-snowing the jogging or commonly used sightseeing routes.

    In this way, we could maybe link this to the Freination project?
     
    BTW, from what I've understood, the Sidechain project by Blockstream seems to have had positive experiences and has progressed pretty nicely. Theres some features in there that would be nice to have in Freicoin as well... so, as the Freicoin ~wallets are still based on pretty old version of Bitcoin.. should we be trying to attract testers and/or developers to work on that? Or maybe wait and see how the Sidechain project develops and not risk "wasting" the resources on "if's"?

    Humans Need Not Apply is a 2014 short Internet documentary film, directed, produced, written, and edited by C. G. P. Grey. The film focuses on the future of the integration of automation into economics, as well as the worldwide workforce.
     

     
    Grey & Brady introduce themselves after 18 episodes, working in public on the Internet, humblebragging revisited, a list of words that we mostly can't say on the podcast, the sacred space of calendars and 8 ways robots will take your job. 
     

     
    This is why your idea is an EXCELLENT ONE although someone has to pay for the mining / transaction upkeep of the Freicoin network. The 80% collected should also go to the idea. We are going to need it when 40 to 60% unemployment worldwide happens soon. Look at automation in China. Jobs are being lost at an alarming rate already there.

    Fab this project I am thinking about getting a "grant" to do the prototypes and then see if I can get loans for people locally who may want to build these seed units.
     
    The idea will be be that this are the base for a larger system that can be built on for years adding both battery storage and solar panels.

    We have completed the build for the basics for the solar charger but we have 1 dead LiFePo4 battery that we need to get RMA on so I am working on that. We also got a quote on installing a solar array at our school.
     
    Here is the 50W panel battery pack charging power banks from used laptop batteries we repurposed.

    I have two places that I can help get students involved. One is Africa and the other obviously Indonesia. My issue is how to make the system easier to get funds in the hands of students so they can pay for their educational needs.
     
    How do these kids go from Freicoin to local Fiat? 
     
    That is the hanger I see.
