Please forgive us for this, because workload is very heavy ,but alt-altcoin only needs to change 3 params.

So what's the algorithms being used?

No connections in wallet?

Took a few minutes before i got a connection

still no connection for me

Hmm seems eerily familiar to R3D.

So, who got to mine the first nine whole weeks of blocks? Dev?

same here 0

If there're are more cases that cannot connect to network, we will deploy more servers with different IP addresses.

link to this coin you mention?

I like this wallet

No connections for me either  :(
EDIT:  I'm connected

Somebody try to message me: MDISNRHBQFTQWSMUOYFTJMF7PZKDKHQRDKPMLE7DHW7HP6TBJ5JAG4TJJB6W

This is going to be a very interesting project, that is for sure.

no funds! lol

I'll send you some

LLJK3MIMVL3HMNPP5B6S7MAKBNITXRYGQ3G3JAYNM2UGOCY3AU5QG7TDKUUF

sent 199.  let me know if you get em

can you post some nodes? :)

I lost my connection after re-indexing

I want to get some coins. Thanks!
JPDMZBOJF4BIKZLCDZVCUP5HE7BFJOALY3NOGTLHMSIHKJTQQSBAGQLK337U

I feel like i'm on a fork.  What block height do you guys have?  I'm at just over 1200

1463 but connection in and out, doesn't stay steady.

0 since i have no connection lol

Sent you some with a message, did you get them?

Current Block: 4400 with 3 active connections

post some peers plz

yes, please.
applications->tools->show peers

Yup post some nodes so more than 1 person can mine (for 4400 blocks so far)

Send to me some coin if you can: ;D

Current Block:30465

Still no synch sadly.

same :(

huge fastmine for 3 miner  :-[

So dev premined 3M coins?

dev is on line but not even posting peers.. how can we tell with out any connections

looks like botched launch :(

Where you want to type this peers? I can't find any peers info. I'm connected.

on the wallet Application >Tools >Show peers

Current distribution is not recoverable. Fix your network then post when relaunch happens or this is DOA.

162.243.136.61:7333
104.238.171.168:7333
45.32.235.78:7333

These got posted earlier didnt work then still dont work now. Unless this coin is for 2 people relaunch it.

Received 10 coins. Thanks!

Wallet synced perfectly and I've mined four blocks already in 10 minutes.

Synced for 3-4 people only and dev hasnt posted since. Dead without relaunch.

Checked on my father's notebook via RDP (different provider), sync started but notebook speed is terrible and wallet got stucked.

Maybe problems in routers or something else... IDK  ???

Problem with dev and a few who instamined... IDK  ???

I have mined 2 blocks... But there is 30000 blocks already mined before launch. So it's 3M premine...

I wish there was a block explorer included so we could see what went on in those first 30000 blocks. I guess we'll just have to wait for the source to see...

if sb send me some FAI ,that really appreciate

BTW, the first one to post a picture on Φ will get another 1000 coins

My image: ;D

https://i.imgur.com/6BJ6RdA.jpg

every on has connection now?

no problem with sync.

Wow, finally something original ;D what about some marketing?

what about premine  ???

yes how much was premined in 30k blocks?
also block rewards?

Here, I've uploaded an image:

https://i.imgur.com/CHeJRip.png?1

I like this a lot. Very innovative stuff. More transparency about the obvious premine would be nice though. in the "Screenshots" section on the website you can see a wallet at around block 6200 with a wallet ballance over 10k FAI. Whatever though, it is their "salary" I guess ;)

I had 60-80% of the hashrate for a while this morning. I had no way to adjust the miner difficulty so I ended up with like a 50-70% reject rate which suckkkkked lol

Something strange...

Why I need to share content and pay for it???

You can share  a way of announcement or publicity of something I guess...........

Ok i added the 3 nodes that were posted are there anymore cause getting 0 connections

We need more miners right now. Diff is way to high for the current hashrate and blocks are getting very slow.

Does anyone know the diff retarget time for this wallet?

Interesting project waiting to see more and decide if invest or not

Invest some hash. We need more miners on FAI right now!!!

what is the hashing algorithm? gpu friendly ?

Dev said it is some sort of mix between scrypt and sha256. There is only an in-wallet miner. I'm getting about 4-5 KH/s with my laptop's i5 CPU that does 3.3 GHz on 4 cores.

On witch block are you guys ? :)

30948

It would be a very useful coin. ;)

Still for real? I am reindexing my chain to make sure. I'll report back with my results.

30948.
It looks like the chain is not moving.

Maybe restart the chain with more nodes?

Just need more hashpower and GPU miner maybe. Need source.

It's because the difficulty does not adjust fast enough. There was only like 7 KH/s, then it quickly spiked up to almost 40 KH/s right when the retarget came. So now the chain is stuck because the difficulty is much much too high after the hashrate went back down to around 7 KH/s. Once the diff retargets, I think we'll be okay.

How to mining?
scrypt ,x11,sha256?

yes 30948 is not moving!
It seems to be a bug

FAI  =  FAIL?      ???

Windows only wallet at launch.
Massive premine.
Most people unable to sync.

Without a relaunch FAI = FAIL no question.

dead spot
https://i.imgur.com/FCDh0Ha.png

There has to be something up as I too with many of you are stuck at 30948, dev where are you?

But you have to add. Wallet start synchronizing 8 weeks back  ;D

The chain just moved.

Back to normal, 30967 now.

I restarted wallet
everything seems OK
https://i.imgur.com/Py3QzkA.png

I need some nodes!

any working nodes ?

104.238.171.168:7333
162.243.136.61:7333
45.32.235.78:7333

thanx,  tried these, still zero connections ,  have restarted wallet a few times, any ideas?

I have the same problem here  :(

still can't connect,  any fresh nodes anyone?  Dev??

Had the exact same problem for 12 ish hours , Dev needs to get his A into G or its going to die before it really had a chance to start , pointless only a few having all the coins , needs a fair distrabution
So Dev we need you to sort out why so many cant connect ??

I don't know
try to disable
1 antivirus
2 a firewall
3 if the network is through a router
connect directly

anyone have any idea how much the premine is?

yep tried this too,, thanks for your response.  seems this coin not for me lol. good luck.

Please read upside.

reason i ask is that i dont think all blocks were 100 coin each...

It;s literally quadrillions.  Try mining with a client with no connections.

https://i.imgur.com/WLytvUv.png

It could be on the worst of the cases, However an block explorer could be of help, And maybe dev can give an explanation about premined, Besides it coin has been not listed on any exchange yet.

Network Hash Rate   42.443 KHash/s
Difficulty                    3.399
move upwards

Yep it did that to me too so ire-installed it all again but for the life of me i cant get the frikken thing to connect , checked all firewall settings and its fine , added nodes many times , stopped it , started it frikken even run around in the back yard naked on a full moon , but am totally out of ideas , so Dev best you sort it out cause its going from decentalized to a centralized coin as only a minimal amount of people actually have the coin , i love the idea you have but basically about ready to give up on it !!

So any other ideas please feel free to throw them this way !!

oh shit
forget it
that means dev have over3M*10000 = 300000000000 coins on hand?

if so ,dont waste time being here

Lol, Try it without wifi. ;D

theres 60000coins per block before
but now just only 100coins per block

How do you know that?

did you see the pic https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FWLytvUv.png&t=556&c=vi1YHSDZM6q70g

yes it looks very strange.

I actually think what the Dev has here is great , It would be great just to be able to use it !!

Plus the source ?? would be good !!

A thing is sure, It coin is not only a clone, Surely the dev will appears doing an announcement the Monday.

sorry  its not 60000coins per block ,it over 27300000coins in some block ,its very strange

No, I was mining without being connected to the network.  It shows the rewards prior to public launch.

Monday will be too late , to few will have too many coins and if you notice he has no connections i did the same thing

It's a shame because the tech looks great.

But if you both were not connected to the  network you could are on an different blockchain. The correct blockchain could be the premined.

that means you dont know the process of blockchain
even if be in different blockchain ,it still follow the resource process which design by dev.

Besides I guess that block time is 60 sec., So 30,000 blocks/1440 = 3 week aprox. It is same time of age of the main blockchain.

yes , actually we agree with premined ,even over 50% ,but not agree with hide huge blcok .........200000000000 coins just only 1100 block!!!!!!!!!

all hold by dev team, fail......

Well,  Anyway everybody can contact to the dev, Do you remember?:    

Please stop posting your address here, send email to fai03a6@gmx.com instead.
  Post#57

yep sent emails to him and on the OP it says 3 minute block times , I agree the tech looks good and that , but I would really like to trying it so the Dev needs to look if he wants mass use of it , but the connection problems got me stuff , Im out of ideas anyways!!

I understand you, I just noticed the 3 minutes in OP, I hope that dev can fix all the details and give an better explanation soon.

Because in OP: Will open source code after user number reaches 1000.  If dev dont give an explanation it dont will happens.

if the problem occurs on a wallet or node that is not Synchrone?

As far as, This coin is an experiment, If everybody mine on it, Diff will do that nobody to get nothing, So
Dev premined it with another purpose, Sell it or give a kind of giveaway or both, Just now only an pair max. of CPUS of 8 cores could are getting alls the blocks , Without source and block explorer could be really difficult to know something else. So Dev think use the coins on the rest of the services.

with no explore , i suggest we do nothing , dev team have so sosososososososososososososososososososososo many coins , actually the team are really scamer with so many hide huge block ,but i agree FAI is a great project...

The total amount of the coin?
How to mining?
scrypt ,x11,sha256?
Any help, thanks

Not wasting electricity on what may be shady.
No block explorer, no connections, big premine...

Ready to see the code..
Would like to know the max supply and reward structure, also the algorithm wouldn't hurt.

really？dev, please  explain what happened.
and i write a letter to dev about help dev to enlarge the influence in china but still not get feed back.

 now ,i need to know the truth too.

Fail?

with 10000000000000000000000 premined coins dont think its going far ...

Hash Rate   6.061 KHash/s
Network Hash Rate   70.908 KHash/s
Difficulty   11.337

 :o

it's getting very hard to find blocks

Such a strange launch.

Yeah i agree but it is interesting

Still havent been able to get any connections on it yet , has anyone got any ideas ?? new nodes or that



 Edit: no wait its decide to start syncing

Just so i know its working , what is the block height ??

32000

Thanks guys im mining just hit a block so seems to be running nice

OK Dev there are a few things that need to be clarified

for starters on the transactions , the overide button that please explain that ?


On registering a domain , the lock function , is that the time you own it ?? or the time until you can sell/transfer it ??

we need a comprehensive guide on all functions please Dev!!

WTB FAI @600 satoshis. Min lot 500FAI max 20000FAI. PM me.
Don't interested in buying it anymore because of 99.(9)% premine.

162.243.136.61:7333
114.33.4.41:7333
45.32.235.78:7333
104.238.171.168:7333
the number of nodes grows!

Thanks for good questions.
1 Override=add fee for unconfirmed tx stuck in mempool
2 yes the lock time for domain is the time you own it. If you want to own it forever, just give a near-infinite lock time.During this time ,you can always sell/transfer it,but the coins are still locked,and when they are unlocked, they belong to you. And, you can renew(=enlong) your domain in short periods.

Thanks for the reply mate and i have also sent you a PM to

I believe with the right marketing and development this will be a hit mate

regards

We found out the reason why some guys can't link to the chain:
If you start mining before linked to any nodes, then once you connect to a node and send the block you mined to it, your invalid block will trigger it banning you forever.
We've restarted some servers, please delete the existing fai data folder and restart fai client, then you can link to the network.
And,a  new version will be released soon which disables mining without connection to the network.

To make it more clear:
If you can't connect to the fai network:
Potential reason: you mined before syncing.
Solution:
1 clear your fai data dir
2 Change your ip address by restarting your modem
If you can't do 2, please send us an email ,we'll restart ours.

What about Linux version for nodes dev?
I can host a few on Linux.

Thanks.
We'll open source after user number reaches 1000.
By the way, we can provide an ubuntu 64bit version of binary file right now.

Ahhhhh okay please add the Ubuntu version on the op

Yes, please.

Ok,ubuntu binary will be on website within today.

Thanks dev +1

Guys, please talk on fai system ,it's too quiet. We will give bonus to good contents.

dev please tell us  how much premine is on this coin?

Yes, please. Block explorer is needed.

Just downloaded the wallet and sent dev an email. Checked out the wallet and this shit looks pretty interesting.

sent

dev ignores questions about premine  ???

i can think of only one reason PREMINE = 99.99% of all coins  :o :o :o

Are certain nodes only receiving data? I have added many posted here but only a couple feed my node with data while I'm 5 weeks behind.

Normally you only get blocks from chosen fastest nodes no matter how many you connect

I was experimenting with the market and tried to put something up for sale but couldn't. Always got a message about wrong icon link.

The Chinese nation is great nation   and im so proud of this ,but i really shame with dev team what they did...


ps: dev comes from chinese   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1190863.0

Cool tech but definitely a fail because of the distribution if what everyone saying is true about premine.

still doesn't work on the wallet
 stuck from time to time
now in the block 32851
and mining stopping

If it's true, the coin is dead.

Why is it stuck on block 32851? I have multiple connections and there is no block source available....

Block number is growing now

What about total number of coins?

Packing linux build...
Will be on website soon

The ubuntu version is now available for download on www.f-a-i.net

Important!
Version 2.0.2 released, fixed several issues including mining issues. Strongly suggest to upgrade.
www.f-a-i.net

Post contents will get bonus

Dev, you should make a Twitter account for start.

Seems like the browser doesn't display gifs? That's such a shame.

Dev, can you answer my question about the store?

Sounds interesting enough. But I guess you could have more information on your roadmap and how are you suppose to get some user adoption for this.

1 The icon link must be a fai blockchain link, such as fai:33281.3.
2 we deliberately blocked all motion images to prevent abuse

Twitter:
Φfai

Being able to add videos would be good

MP4 videos are supported. But max tx size will limit them.

We found one big hashing power come and go,cauzing the fluctuation of block interval. Please don't panic

Why is the diff still so high? At what interval does it adjust?

diff is adjuested per 240 blocks. at this speed it needs 2.5 days

Important!
Version 2.0.3 released, fixed several issues including hot page doesn't show content, download file broken issues. Strongly suggest to upgrade.
www.f-a-i.net

Blockexplorer?

Is already built in , please find it by yourself. Have fun!

What a bullshit answer. By avoiding these questions about your 98% premine, this project is doomed to fail.

Account N7IWEOEBHWMBUM3GZD3GXY2LEDTKDSP2HAL5QWCK has claimed hundreds of domain names with deposits of 10000 FAI for each one. This account has three blue diamonds next to it's name. So what does that mean? 10 million FAI for every diamond? LOL

A Chinese man stole the others to develop the source code. And then 99%premine
All the Chinese don't want to go., don't be fooled by it.
http://8btc.com/thread-23414-1-1.html

And,to enable viewing hot pages, you need to clear the "browser"folder under <datadir>/appdata/

Ok, we give up.
try input 0.0 in the browser address bar...
If after this still you are looking for block explorer, we will tell you more.

Have anybody found out how to play with the block explorer?

Cryptocoinnews review:https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/blockchain-magic-%CF%86-free-anonymous-internet/ (https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/blockchain-magic-%CF%86-free-anonymous-internet/)

Your invention is undoubtedly wonderful, but it's sort of ruined by the absurd premine.  Maybe distribute the premine or start over with a reasonable premine?

Yeah, will distribute the coins.
Users who post contents in high quality will always be rewarded free coins.
Please be aware FAI is a content publishing system, coin system is just one necessary part.
The value and future of FAI depends on the quality of contents but not the price of coins.
Hoarding coins for speculation w/o posting anything is against the purpose of this project.
In other words, posting=mining in FAI.

Fair enough.  That actually makes sense.  I believe I've just been won over.  Are mp4's allowed?

Yes, MP4 supported for direct display.
Actually all files can be uploaded or downloaded. The difference is if the files can be displayed directly or not.

How is the quality of the content determined?

lol,that's a interesting question.
There's a "tip" function in FAI browser. Everybody can tip good contents.
For coin distribution, we refund the tx fee to contents with meanings, not repeated, not bulky. Is this standard reasonable?

Yes, and I'm beginning to believe that this system is genius.

bullshit，is really genius？
first， dev should ann how many coins he premined, we just only know he premined 190000000000 coins for firsr 1770 block , and dev post a ann in btt till NO. 30000 block ,,,,,,,
How many coins he have now?????  NO one know about it........

Even if we tell a number, it still can be doubted before opening source.
Get 1000 users, and we'll open source, then you can get all the answers .

The difficulty jumped from ~1.5 to ~5 after the cryptocoinsnews article. Good job on the new users and participants.

Are we nearing one thousand yet?

Sorry, less than 100 now.

Should i bring a block explorer online?

Sorry,
There's a bug of playing mp3 in js, it's fixed, we will refresh the js page soon.

What is the status on the source code?

A block explorer doesn't seem like a bad idea?

We are very glad if you do that.
2 comments:
1 There're some blockchain explorer functions build in FAI system .
2 The block structure and tx tructure of faicoin system has big difference from bitcoin.

Well the core rpc functions are still the same correct?

There're about 5 new users per day, counting to today total is about 100.
Please help us promote, we will support you with faicoins.
We DO know that open source will help the spreading a lot, but altcoinning is really too threatening.

Yes, exactly the same

Okay thanks for letting me know

Here is the translated text on this link:



Cannot see anything wrong?

 ??? it is chinese coin from begining

I think that the development was involved with Chinese audiences from the start. The wallet released with a Chinese translation inside etc.

It seems to be the exact same text too, what do you imply that someone 'stole' it? It seems like the same thing is promoted.

i dont think develop by chinese is bad idea. but the point is dev premined 99.99999999% and  dare not admit it .  

first 1700 block dev got 190000000000 coins and we dont know how many coins he got from first 30000 block..  lol
1000000000000000000000000000000000000000 coins ... lol  manybe !!!!

all of us mined all day just only 30000coins ,  whats feeling of you ???? lol

How much premine dev?
You should be open with the community

Hello,

i think the concept is great, but most people don't understand the purpose. It's not another altcoin.
Right now, i have set up a Server (4x3.4 GHZ, 4GB RAM, 100mbit) with a FAI-node.
Here is the ip:


If the project grows, or the source will be released, i will setup many more persistent nodes.

Right now, i can't insert content, as the Linux-version is only the CLI.
Once the normal version or source will be released, i will also add valuable content.

If you need any help in offering linux binaries/packages, just contact me, if you want (also for PPA).

//EDIT:
And for those, who are sceptical about the closed source: just run it in a sandbox (like i do).
For linux, there are many sandboxing techniques. The simplest is: Firejail (GUI). Alternatively, you could use SELinux.

Great idea if it can be sustained


Original content publishers like me (astrophotography) would love something like this as an alternative to FB or Instagram to share content.


I can see many other uses for this after it matures and the code is released.


For now I am just watching and waiting for a code review and some time to pass to see if the dev sticks around

Too bad, no one is really interested.
At the moment, i have about 80% of the hashing-power, with only 1 PC and a Server.
Also, nodes are getting fewer :(

I think it should be announced somewhere else, as this is not just another useless altcoin.
Maybe you should advertise it more on the darknet-scene (as you already did with the DeepDotWeb review), as they will love it - once they understand the opportunities.

Unfortunately association with the darknet will discourage more mainstream adoption. I think it has an appeal to a wider audience if done properly with community control


The downside could be content that is illegal or unethical in your country

I might make a few apps or something with this.
Stay tuned! Will also put up a few nodes in a while :)

Sounds vary good! Waiting to see this apps :)

We are writing an article for this, will post later today.

Thank you very much! Especially the understanding of the project.
Please mail to fai03a6@gmx.com. We will post a ubuntu64 dynamic link version to enable you post contents.But it needs you to prepare the libs
We will give out rewards for running nodes after Faicoin has a market price. At lease the rewards should cover your cost.
And a help needed is to help us promote the project, let's talk via email.
Thanks again!

Great!
The blockchain timestamp is very useful for orginal conent.
We are discussing if we should open the source earlier.
Before open source,testing is easy:
p2p test:sync, disconnet internet, browse.
backdoor test: use net sniffer to watch packages,  all packages are in Bitcoin-like format:packetmagic--command--data. All data are public to the whole network.

Thanks for understanding--and you've rewarded-- you got a lot of coins, and I promise you can make good profits from them.
This thread is one of the must-dos.Though we triggered some hatred , but we found many precious users who really understand the system.
We are exploring niche markets to advertise.
As for counting of nodes, today is the first day that online node number reaches 30.
There is a big hashing power with more than 30 servers come and go, they went away today, so you are lucky and mined the coins with a small hashing power.

You got the most important point!
This is a decentralized internet platform.
Serverless websites can be built on it.
Please write some interesting apps. We will give super big bonus for the first app.
Please feel free to get technical support from us.

Explanation to Faicoin Issuance and Circulation
FAI is a content system .
Currency system is just one part of the FAI infrastructure.As we've mentioned in website homepage, we value FAI accounts, FAI database, FAI network more than FAI currency.
Look at Facebook, twitter or g+, they don't have a currency system ,but they have accounts ,network, contents.
So how do you evaluate the "premine" of Facebook? Do you hate Facebook because you can't mine on it at all?

Then,what's the necessity of Faicoin?
1 Prevent spamming. Spamming is a big headache for p2p system. The weakness of spaming is that it's extremely cost sensitive. With a network fee, FAI will be free from spamming.--- On the contrary, our current headache is lack of contents.
2 Fund the maintenance.  Another headache of p2p system is funding. Tor is funded by US government. While Freenet is dying because of bad funding. With the network fee, FAI network can have a long healthy run.
3 Facilitate commerce. Money and order info can be send in one transaction if giving the FAI currency system. This makes e-commerce extremely simple. Also ,tipping is very important to inspire posting high quality contents.
Again, the FAI system is not designed to issuing coins, hoarding for speculation, and cashing out profit.

Then , how to value Faicoins?
For Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, this is a big question mark. But for  Faicoin ,this is pretty clear:
The Faicoin value is from the value of Fai blockchain space.
A Fai content can be seen by every FAI user. It's like ads, the value of ads is based on impressions.(But different from ads, contents in FAI will exist for ever and have potential of more future impressions)
Because blockchain space is limited ,so the more the users, the more precious the FAI space. This value goes to network fee, and then goes to Faicoins.
A rough example: it is reasonable to publish a picture to FAI system spending $1. If the pic size is 100K, the fee will be φ100. This means $1=φ100.

Then, what's the exact number of Faicoins issued?
Total coin number is 210 Billion. All of them are issued in the first 25000 blocks. Early users mined some issued coins(they were attracted from google ads). At the time we opened this thread, issuance was finished.
Coins mined now are actually giveaways by us--100 coins per block. We will adjust this giveaway amount by user number and block filling rate.

Then, why so many coins?
Let's get this straight:
1 We invested big money into this project, it's reasonable to get rewarded.
2 Huge number of premined coins will scare speculators off. And, we will keep the coin price healthy: if it rises too much ,we will sell; if  it drops too much, we will buy in.
3 The good development of FAI society needs bounty for good contents, nodes,apps, offchain services, etc.  Miners and speculators won't do this, only investors are willing do this.

Then, what if Fai investors dump Faicoins?
This question only comes from speculators.  People who publishes contents only cares about the fiat currency price of blockchain space.
But we will give a clear answer for this:
The total value of all faicoins is based on the value of blockchain space.
If we sell them all in one day, we get the value of one day blockchain space.
If we sell them all in one month, we get the value of one month blockchain space --30 times more than one day dump.
If we sell them all in one year--365 times more, ten years--3650 times more.
So, we don't have the motivation to dump.

Then, how can users get benefit from the FAI system?
Basically ,users are directly benefited by using the free anonymous functions like browser, messenger, shop.
You can earn Faicoins from the bounty projects-- publishing contents, setting up nodes, creating new apps,building services, help promotions, etc.
At the same time, you can build up reputation of your ID/domain/blog/shop/app/service. You can make money by tips ,ads, membership, etc.
Wth the growing of user numbers ,the Faicoin price may rise accordingly. So making profit by holding faicoins is a long-term investment instead of short-term speculation like other Altcoins.

Anyone can help on GPU mining? We offer big reward.

Look for user Wolf.  He is the resident expert.  He can be found on bctalk forums and irc.

It depends what typ of mining? is it AMD or Nvidia? I think Wolf0 can help with both though. This project looks good, when will it launch?

Dear Sir,it's already launched. Please download and have fun in FAI.

Thanks,have sent him a message.

Awesome!
Could you PS based on the goldcoin/silvercoin icon in FAI?

Anybody who wants a linux version with dynamic links, please send a email to fai03a6@gmx.com
You need to install all the Bitcoin dependancies + sqlite3+ qt5.4.2

Anyone willing to share some coins for testing pls?
FKSU76NQRVIHIR7YBPKLWHHRHUC7NFGGNGKZLIDZYCG4YKIUMF5AGC35X2LC

simple logo  :D
nice

The Linux-Version works good. On most distros, you only need libsqlite3*, libboost* and qt5.4.2 (download the installer from www.qt.io).

For Qt5.4.2, don't forget to copy the libs to /usr/lib/x68_64*/

It's awarded best content of the day ,φ10000 prize.

Great news, its good to see that you are now open source.

Building a Serverless Website(Unhosted App) with JavaScript Only--Powered by ΦFAI Browser
Φ FAI is a decentralized p2p content sharing system with web browser GUI.With FAI, websites or applications can be built by JavaScript only and run serverlessly.


The key points for a FAI browser to achieve this magic are:


1. Duplication of Φ DB in every node/client instead of storing on server.


2. Φ Domains (empowered by Φ DNS) of website point to Φ DB instead of to server.


3. Account created by users instead of registration on server.


4. All operation commands signed by users and saved in Φ DB.


5. Powerful API enables web pages to access the Φ DB instead of interaction with server.


6. Web pages have been authorized full access to Internet.




The built-in FAI Shop is a very good example to show how the magic works:


1. Seller creates its account.


2. Seller publishes a product by signing a transaction with product data with its account. The product data will be stored in the Φ DB and copied to every user.


3. Buyer views the product in Φ Shop web page by searching through ΦDB.


4. Buyer places an order by signing a transaction with Φ coins sent to seller and purchase information such as product link, quantity, shipment address, etc. This purchase transaction will be stored in the ΦDB and copied to every user.


5. The seller receives the purchase transaction by searching through the Φ DB. (Delivery of order is not a problem.)


6. Moreover, seller and buyer can chat via serverless Φ messenger. And digital products can be delivered by Φ messenger too.




How to build a serverless website:


1. Download and install ΦFAI browser. (www.f-a-i.net)


2. Program in html, css and JS with Φ APIs. The ΦAPI file (fai-api.js) can be found at /appdata/browser/js folder.


3. Publish to ΦDB.


3.1 Get some FAI coins. Currently gathering coins to publish an app only needs one computer mining for 1 day. You may also buy or ask for coins from others.


3.2 Publish all files of app to Φ DB. There's a batch-publish function in Φ publisher.


3.3 Make and publish the package file. It's a list of blockchain links of files in the app, in JSON format. (Example: /appdata/browser/package.json )(The links of files can be found on 'my page')


3.4 Register a domain and redirect it to the blockchain link of package file.


3.5 Optionally, do some promotions on FAI system. (Send as many contents as you want: txt, picture, video, etc)




Please feel free to send questions to fai03a6@gmx.com

I can help you market this coin if you want :)
This looks like it has great potential, and I'd be glad to help.

I'm on limited bandwidth.  How big is the blockchain currently?  Also, isn't it going to get impractically enormous very quickly?

More than welcome!
Please discuss here, or email to fai03a6@gmx.com, or talk to BSB*** in FAI

Now the unzipped blockchain size is 60M.
We wish it can grow quickly, by in reality too few contents ...2M/day
Max blockchain space is 540M /day, based on current stat, this needs around 50K users....

deposite error ??
I could not open the address

Source code is pretty interesting
+1 for open sourcing

Hi we are working with FAI to fix this

Please share what you feel interesting, thanks

Guys, if you love this project ,please do you best to promote it.
Because FAI is a social network, if it can't reach the breaking point, it will shrink and die.
Twitter, Facebook, forums, whatever.
We will support your promotion compaigns with coins.

Before FAI gets promoted, i think it would be best to fix all problems first.
For example: No source for the Qt-Client, no binaries for Linux, inserting large files doesn't work, ...

If many people experience this problems, FAI won't grow, because of massive bad feedback from the start.

https://i.imgur.com/5U7TtVd.png
the reward per block was reduced twice?
when the next reduction?
all is well but frantic premined scares investors
this will kill the coin

The main purpose of FAI isn't the coin!
It's more a content distribution system.

Thanks for your advices.
1 If we open all codes, it means suicide.
2 Linux binary IS available, please send a email to get it.
3 Inserting large file works, but the tutorial is not ready yet. And, we are afraid of large files-- blockchain spam will kill the system.

Splitting zip files is a good way to upload content to fai. Sadly this way it won't be displayed withing the client. People itnerested will have to download the files and put them together with their software.

Please kill the coin and keep the contents alive

Hi
we are working on this
its the windows QT wallet it won't stay connected 

how can I do deposite?  ???

Wow ok so just caught up on all the post.

I am novice when it comes to mining so forgive me but I am confused on how FAI is mined? Is it a combination of algorithms so cpu/gpu can both mine it?

Project even more interesting than before, hope it does well.

The hashing algorithm is similar to scrypt-jane
both cpu, gpu can mine it. GPU is faster.Currently gpu miner is not available. We will give big bonus for GPU mining program.

Today there are some interesting contents in FAI

 GPU MINIG ?? ???

THANKS

The devs are interested to provide rewards if anyone would be interested to help them develop GPU mining. Look some posts above.

The wallet seems to have stailized and deposits and withdrawals are working fine we are monitoring it , but its up and trading at

https://btcpool.exchange

https://btcpool.exchange/Market?pair=FAI/BTC

No working...

New node up:
131.72.139.7:7333
Ler4HNAEfwYhBmGXcFP2Po1NpRUEiK8km2

How will childporn, etc. be handled? I'm sure there will be many crap on the blockchain, once it becomes more public...

There is no moderation... or exist  ???

Which part isnt working i just checked and its all working as far as i can see

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it ...

Same error as written above, when you try to create an address to deposit

Hi
it looks like we are still having issue with there wallet
ill have look now and see whats going on

Please...
We are all waiting for it

Hi
ok i have made a few changes  to the wallet settings
and it is now up and running
i will keep an eye on it

we are just rebooting the wallet server 

We are now working on the mobile version.
Bounty projects:
GPU miner
mining pool
Blockchain explorer
Optimization of browser, publisher, messenger and shop

blockchain? oh .great....

lets see how many coins dev team Stealing? more more more than 200000M coins i bet.  the shame project from a dirty chinese team.

scam project can not be in any exchange platform, trust me ..

This project is definitely interesting, and you have obviously put a lot of effort in it.  Here is my personal feedback.

I'd love to experiment more, but have an issue with an utter lack of coins.  10K coins for a domain?  There are only 50 per block and my I3 laptop is luck to get one block every 2 hours (makes me suspect a GPU already exist).  A domain is simply to costly for me to experiment with based on coin availability. 

Regardless, mining should not be primary purpose, it should be the content. 

Why not reward for publishing content?  {Done it several times and gotten nadda.}
Why not reward nodes for validating network?
How about a Read-Only Public Node for people who do not want to download the network to see a page or domain?

It is interesting to experiment with this, but the lack of reward for involvement is going to end my interest at some time in near future.

Thanks for your feedback.
You can see we reward 300 coins for each good content. Please tell us your ID and we'll check if we missed some of your contents.
A .fai domain only costs 100 coins.
We will pay reward for nodes when this coins has a market value-- it's listed on btcpool.exchange, and we are negotiating with other exchanges.
A readonly public node is a very good advice, can you help us with it?

Great idea

There is so much ingenuity involved in this project.  There are a few major flaws, first being the enormous premine and the second being malicious content being inserted.  Neither of those must doom the project though.  Perhaps make the premine publicly accountable?

Thanks.
For premine,  please refer to .257 .
For malicous content, do you mean spamming? Please refer to .257

The fact that the Dev premined 99% of the coins, automatically converts them into a kind of "centralized bank". In fact, they openly recognized that if the FAIcoins go up too much, they will sell, and if it drops down, they will buy. Isnt that what the Banks/Governments usually do?

Note this, if the FAI coins reach $1 USD per coin, they will be billionaires, and a few users will get a few thousand and the majority almost nothing. Same old story of concentrated wealth by bankers at the spend of other people...

What if Satoshi Nakamoto would have premined 99% of the Bitcoins?
Bitcoins would have been a joke by now.
 

why is exchange not working?

Hi
thats because the wallet is still not staying online

we are still working on this with the Dev's

read .257 please
read .257 please
read .257 please

This project is looking very nice, looks similar to that R3D project some other people were attempting to launch.

This project has great potential, if you work in. Fresh air in the difficult world of currencies ;)

Tip:
In the very beginning, the credit of a seller can be judged by the amount of coins it has.
The more coins it holds compared to the product price, the less chance it cheats you.

Later on , credit can be built by comments and recommendation.

Also, it's possible to program a shop with escrow functions by JS only. We will give big bonus for this.

What does that even mean

It means read post #257.
I did read it, but I don't think it offers a satisfactory explanation.
It would be a shame if this project go to waste since it's a great idea.

Additional 2 points:
1
What's premine? All the coins mined before a newcomer enters are premine to him--no matter who owns the coins, they are premined.
Is there a fair distribution method?Can a newcomer of bitcoin ask for compensation from premine?Of course not.
But, the answer is true for FAI
2
If as you wished , "no premine", then ,
Either total coins versus fee is too few, so fee will be very high, so there'll be few contents, so the project will fail;
Or total coins versus fee is too much, so the blockchain will be filled with spam contents, so the project will fail.
Conclusion: "no premine"=doomed to fail

perhaps there should be a turorian on how to setup one.

maybe there are several features that go unused because no one has showed people what fai is capable of. :p

tutorial: f-a-i.net/api
FAI is a platform.And it's evoluting. When you understand the principle, you can ask fai dev team to develop the functions you need.

FAI wallet is now stable on BTCPOOL.EXCHANGE

We just tested. It is working well.

Guys, don't be so quiet...
Make promotion plans, we will support you with not only Faicoins, but also Bitcoins if needed.
FAI is a community, promoting itself is fun.
Or ,tell us advice for improvement, we will try our best to implement.

As someone asked earlier, isn't the blockchain going to be enormous if FAI becomes popular? Is there at least some concept for how to deal with this, or is the price of posting going to rise enough to discourage casual use?

Depends on what you would consider a solution. A simple solution to make transacting FAI more accessible would be creating a client that would still have wallet functionality without having to be a full node. Having full access to FAI's features without having to store the blockchain would be more tricky though. Since FAI is something new, it's not like someone could just alter the code of a lightweight bitcoin wallet and create a "lihtweight" FAI client with all functionalities so simply.

Thanks for question.
1 max block size is 1.15M. 3min/block. So max content size is around 550M per day(this costs 550k Faicoins). Max content size per year is 200G. A 1T HD can store 5 years of full blockchain content. This is worthy because maybe this 1T includes the most important and interesting contents in the world.
2 We strictly control the number of Faicoins in circulation, to prevent spamming, and also to ensure the quality of contents.

Yes ,you are right.
Currently we are working on android version which is a light node version.

Any one can help on the following projects?
blockchain explorer
GPU mining
mining pool
website to veiw fai contents

I've observed that I can modify any website in ...\Fai\appdata\filepackages and the changed-site comes up in FAI Viewer with up-to-date blocks.   While this would only affect me, I might be passing along site to nodes that download from me?

Is this bug or feature?


Also, with the HTML so accessible, it could be possible to have any FAI node return that HTML in HTTP request?  If so, no site would be needed for content, rather a list of FaiNet node to render content.   Think of this as a decentralized and Denial-Of-Service-proof content provider

With FAI viewer, you can browse the HTTP world.  With this approach, the Chrome (in HTTP world) could seamlessly search FaiNet.  The advantage of FaiNet over HTTP world is that you can search the FaiNet Web even without an internet connection!  And with above, people could use the browser they prefer most (I am thinking).

One more feedback item...When using on touchscreen, you cannot scroll the viewer page (with touch) like you can with Chrome.  At least that is my experience.

This is an important point. We'll test it.

Your got the point!
It's a feature.
But only webpages not using fai-api can be browsed outside FAI client.

How is Fai different than LBRY?

can you post   lbry's link here then we can see whats different......

Online FAI browser demo is available :http://demo.f-a-i.net/html/browser.html

D-app:Tetris running on FAI(Free anonymous internet) system!Try tetris.fai in FAI browser!

hard work with good communication with us is better.
ps:     remember my reward ..lol

I compiled FAI on Ubuntu from source (https://github.com/fai03a6/freeanonymousinternet/tree/master) but don't see the FAI browser.  Is the browser separate or can I connect to the wallet with any HTML browser? 

what is this. is this just a browser or is ti even a coin

It is a anon browser and coin , nice and anon and can be traded at https://btcpool.exchange 

read through whole thread 99.9 premine jeez thats a bit much. i wouldnt even buy it even if it were satoshi himself. good tech but just to turn scam into profit

Wallet is not sync, any one can help?

Your bonus is sent.

You are right, it's a wallet in Bitcoin wallet pattern.
The wallet is v2.0 .
Actually anyone can write a browser under FAI protocol, or make use of available HTML browser via RPC.

Is the problem solved?

How does FAI network ensure anonymity? Through TOR? I2P ?

wallet is fine . there's 3 or 4 connections.

Interesting.  Did you have white papers for the FAI protocol online?

Not ready yet, may the white paper is as long as codes...
If you are interested in specific quesitons, we can answer you immediately

Please read f-a-i.net

FAI blockchain down ，check it please。

this project had some good potential..

what's the current status of this project?

See above.

Too bad. This was a cool coin. Oh well, LBRY is where it's at now

Well, dev's gone (not seen since November), but my wallet still has 4 active connections and I'm mining away.

Why stop I guess. It's only a CPU. Best faisite: carrot.fai

Code was supposedely released before they went  AWOL. Would it be possible for a fork to happen with the code that is already out?

this is a nice project, has some good potential！

it's a pity, the dev is gone.

dead ?

Is this project still alive? I can barely tell it since dev doesn't look active providing updates related to it in this thread. It is rather disappointing, now that it seemed like  a project that had a very strong potential. Also, is there a list of nodes I could find? I am getting 0 connections to the FAI network.  :(

sorry to see FAI's down,its pretty good project but need some promotion in some way.
if dev want to FAI reborn connect me first.
thanks

Come join us - VERGE XVG

Looks interesting. Seeing that it has some pretty good features, I think I will give the android wallet a shot. Prices are dirt cheap right now, but that shouldn't really matter. As long as there is usability into the coin, I think it could go even further. A good thing that I noticed is that this coin has many exchanges to trade it on.  ;D

It is very sad to see this project go (and the thread unactive for quite some time) as it had a very strong potential to become the next Tor for privacy and anonymity. Anyone know where I can download the wallet for testing? It seems that the main site is down so my only hope would be for someone to share me a link for me to download the wallet. Looking forward for the resurrection of this project.  :(

why this project goes dead?  ??? ??? ???

I think it became dead because of the lack of promotion. Still, I'm looking for someone to share me the wallet QT for me to download, as I would like to support this project with some nodes. All it needs is enough marketing, and development to help it succeed and become the next Tor or even better. Also, if anybody knows where could I buy FAI coins, please let me know.  :)
