faircoin

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.

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.

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.

HolyTransaction is a provider of online wallets for various blockchain based currencies. They recently added a FairCoin wallet system on its multicurrency wallet.

To make sure users know everything you need about this digital currency, they describe FairCoin in a nice blog post.

We are happy that the number of service providers that integrate FairCoin in their portfolio is steadily rising.

The Barcelona Film and Human Rights Festival awarded Enric Duran with the Human Rights Award.

This award was awarded in 2012 to Amy Goldman, 2013 to Ada Colau, 2014 to Julian Assange and 2015 to Sound Energy. It is an honor and a responsibility, to be the next after all these people and collectives in this year's edition.

We have been invited to present  the concept of FairCoin at a Blockchain conference in Brusseles (link is external) on Novermber 4th 2016. fairkom is running a FairCoin2 node and is accepting payments in FairCoin currency. Fairkom member Thomas was contacted, finally Roland was travelling by train to Brusseles.

Schon der österreichische Ökonom und Nobelpreisträger Friedrich von Hajek kritisiert 1976 in seinem Buch Denationalisation of Money das Bankensystem und die Rolle der Zentralbanken. Mit der Blockchain Technologie gibt es nun eine Ernst zu nehmende Alternative. Das dezentrale Bitcoin Netzwerk erfordert jedoch einen gewaltigen Strombedarf von 300 Megawatt, um die jeweiligen Transaktionen zu bestätigen.
