New FairCoin logo decided

It took nearly one year: The Fair.Coop community has been working on refreshing and aligning their visual identity. Many projects have arised, web pages were made and folders printed. However, they were not recognisable as one ecosystem due to a cluttered design.

FairCoins im Kiosk des Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein

Im Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein läuft die Ausstellung "Who Pays?" mit Werken von Joseph Beuys. Lokale Aktuere sind eingeladen, einen Raum zu bespielen, in dem alternatives Wirtschaften gezeigt wird. Da gibt es eine grosse Tauschbörse, einen Kiosk mit mehr oder wenigen unnötigen Dingen und einen Gast-Kiosk als Bühne für Workshops.

Am 23.2.2017 haben Roland Alton und Caroline Pfister den Kiosk als erste Ausgabestelle für FairCoins im "Ländle" ausgestattet. Nachdem Fastnacht ist, sind die Kioskbetreuer ausnahmsweise mit Perücken unterwegs.

Fees in FairCoin2

Minting in FairCoin1

There has been some interesting discussion today on the Telegram group of the CVN operators (copied here, anonymized). We are in the middle of the testing phase for the FairCoin2 blockchain, which is facilitating a co-operative validation mechanism.

Just spotted that my CVN received 0.0226 Faircoin a couple of days ago!? What's that about?

This is the fee your CVN collected for creating a block that included a transaction. :blush:

I see, thanks.

Introducing Schnorr crypto mechanics to FairCoin2

A couple of weeks ago I proposed to use the modern, secure and fast signature scheme EC-Schnorr (= Schnorr over elliptic curve) for the PoC (proof-of-cooperation) system of Faircoin2.

Further information about this scheme can be found here:
