oh yeah.

OMG. yes its was. Thank you.

Freicoin was almost dead and has recently come back through grass roots efforts: Fedde built a new exchange, and a new explorer was built showing demurrage paid. There was a wallet update last August.

These efforts are continuing. In the works are updating p2pool software, updating wallets, and Fedde's exchange will be expanding to include other crypto-currencies all trading relative to FRC. 

The demurrage aspect of the currency means the coin is designed for spending and not speculating. Nevertheless, the present potential for value rise far exceeds the annual 5% demurrage fee. For this to be attractive, crypto-currencies need to find wider acceptance and circulation. Compared with 2008 and 2013, this appears to be happening now. Freicoin's developers are active and founding partners of Blockstream, and Freicoin is known for innovation (and not being a get rich quick scheme) since 2013.

Whatever faucet.

Item 3) Girl from the Back (charcoal on brown paper 600x450)

We should vote that the Foundation supply significant funds for the faucet (without any matching), 300 000FRC to start.

maybe we could start by diverting 20% of demurrage, essentially for the purpose of slowly developing an infrastructure around it, starting with the Alliance faucet system.

So the other currencies pay for the mining and Freicoin gets a free ride? Interesting.

From the past we have learned that people felt the foundation was a scam. We should give a high priority to avoid that again. Conversely, the Foundation coins should be distributed transparently (a big problem is that they have nowhere good to go). Once the foundation coins have been spent (or somehow non existant), rerouting the demurrage would make sense. Also the demurrage would have to be distributed in a very transparent fair (presumably automated) way. So, sending the money to the Foundation or creating something similar again seems like a bad idea. Any divergence of funds should go to the people ASAP. 

I am inclined to think that having the possibility to divert funds built in for the future is a great idea but the amount, when, and how should evolve and discussed/tweaked with time.

But I put an unambiguous YES vote behind merge mining at this time.

Could you clarify what code you are discussing modifying. Is it p2pool or client or something else?

How would mining still be profitable if the reward drops to 0.95 FRC? Also, presently, the Foundation just takes money out of circulation. How is that sustainable?

Don't get me wrong, I generally like your ideas. I'm just posing the question. 

Merge mining, i think is great.

I like the rss feed. Fanfare promotes impulsive spending. :-)

Well in the ideas written above, there seems to be a consensus (sort of) on 1000 FRC for signing up. I signed up.

Now that the system is materializing here in the forum, maybe the ideas may change. I think it a good idea to support spending FRCs in places other than the exchange too, since now FRC looks profitable to miners. For sustainability, we need places to spend FRC. The 'market' section of the forum is a good place, that could perhaps be advertised directly on the exchange too.

1000 FRC is 447 Yen (Japanese).

this is real value. Let's buy and sell stuff! 

Copy and paste? Well I'm in.

Any possibility of restarting your pool?

PURCHASE OPTION 2)

Or HD photo of artwork can be purchased for donation (min. donation of 1000 FRC).

Write me here or at [email protected] (we aim to be discreet, lol).

Perhaps, we could have a big flashing link at the Exchange to our 'Market' section here.

Apparently, there is some high quality art available in Freicoin only! 

PURCHASE OPTION 1)

Bidding starts at 5000 FRC for each item. Shipping to be added to price.

Bidding now open.

Bidding closes on May 13 2017 at 21:00 Est.

Dream about Anne!

Item: Anne (red conté on paper 600x450)

And we did have the idea of something like: "sign up at the exchange and get 1000 FRC"

I have been trying to spread the word a little by posting comments in Facebook. I have also been writing websites to update their info on Freicoin. We should probably make publicity plan. 

To have a place where people can spend Freicoin, I have some of my own charcol nudes (reasonably ok drawings) i would give for auction and Arc has a line on chocolates. 

I was thinking it would be nice to try to write an article to get in a cryptocurrency magazine. Certainly, BlockStream's name should guarantee us some press. 

I think we should be keeping the publicity effects moderate until we have wallets ready. For new users and returning users we should probably have some info ready for them here. For example, if the Electrum wallet is working, perhaps a big flashing link here and a support thread.

How do you know the demurrage is doubled? What are comparing it with? You can check the redeemable value and demurrage on the explorer. 

Im afraid money sent by old wallet may be lost in non functioning soft fork.

Yup the display can change. For each transaction you see the original value and the reduced (by demurrage) value, going in and going out.

I did it that way because one is what the blockchain 'sees' and one is what the wallet 'sees'. 

Clearly this is not human friendly, and is in my plan to change it.

That address is correct. Thanks, Fedde.
