Title: [ANN][MANNA] Manna: Universal Basic Income + Blockchain Post by: The Grantcoin Foundation on September 15, 2016, 09:44:53 PM Manna (originally called Grantcoin) is the first cryptocurrency to be distributed as Universal Basic Income to thousands of unique individuals around the world. Manna is the first cryptocurrency to be managed and distributed by a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Charitable donations are used to buy back the currency on the market, to help it gain and hold value. "We insist that a new currency be equitable: that it shall be issued to all people as a human right, as a universal basic income to be enjoyed by all — to compensate, at least partially, for the accidents of birth and circumstances of fortune that have blessed or condemned different people and regions of the world to wealth or poverty."

By The Grantcoin Foundation -- September 15, 2016 The Grantcoin Foundation and Ekata Social LLC are excited to announce our intention for Grantcoin (http://www.grantcoin.org) to be a built-in currency on the social networking and community-building website soon to be launched at ekata.social (http://ekata.social). The Ekata platform is designed for individuals, communities, associations, and municipalities. It will include powerful tools such as profile pages, public posts, direct messaging, forums, group governance, and an e-payment system using Grantcoin. All Ekata users will be able to receive Grantcoin Basic Income on a regular basis in a web-based wallet on the platform.

What is all this crap this guy is on about ? Basic incomes ? What !? Also he just ignored my previous post and there is still not much going on here. The Dev ran away ? Sorry for the non response, the team has been focusing our energy on other aspects of the project. The concept for basic income has been around for a while, there are many resources to look into on the web, Grantcoin is applying the blockchain technology to actually implementing it. You'll notice in your research a lot of the constraints on why a government can't implement a basic income is taxation and the inefficiencies of how money is moved, this is where a NGO is valuable so no one government has the burden to fund basic income. And of course the blockchain eliminates the efficiency of moving money directly to the basic income participants. I hope we didn't frustrate you in our delayed response. If you have any more questions please feel free to contact us directly. Thanks!

Not sure at this point when or if Grantcoin will implement Proof of Stake. It depends mostly on the economic model of the coin and how a switch to PoS would affect its charitable purpose, i.e. whether it would tend to increase or decrease the amount of GRT being distributed as rewards for maintaining the network, vs. how much is being distributed as Basic Income grants. The Grantcoin Foundation Board of Directors has had some discussions about this in the past couple of months, but a final decision has not yet been made. For the foreseeable future, Grantcoin will remain PoW only.

By The Grantcoin Foundation December 9, 2016 The Grantcoin Foundation is pleased to announce that we have developed an automated system for signup and verification of applicants for Grantcoin Basic Income. The technology was built by Ekata Social LLC and is the first step toward our mutual goal of full integration of Grantcoin into Ekata, a new social media platform. The new signup process for Grantcoin will not require human labor to process the majority of applications. Applicants will verify their email address and mobile phone number, and in most cases will be automatically approved and instantaneously receive a referral code they can share with others. ...

Most investors and holders of Grantcoin, on the other hand, are holding the currency long-term and do not engage in high-frequency trading.The delisting from Bittrex changes nothing about the Grantcoin project.

By The Grantcoin Foundation March 13, 2017 The Grantcoin Foundation has several news items to report: 1. Grantcoin will no longer be available for trading on Bittrex. Grantcoin will continue to trade on SouthXchange (see their GRT/BTC and GRT/USD markets). Bittrex was not a good fit for Grantcoin, because their business model emphasizes high-volume cryptocurrencies that are frequently day-traded. Most investors and holders of Grantcoin, on the other hand, are holding the currency long-term and do not engage in high-frequency trading. The delisting from Bittrex changes nothing about the Grantcoin project. The Grantcoin team continues to actively develop our organization, technology, and Grantcoin Basic Income distribution program. Grantcoin can still be publicly traded on SouthXchange, and we will be pursuing additional third-party exchanges and solutions to make it easier for ordinary people to acquire and trade Grantcoin for other currencies — especially major currencies such as U.S. Dollars and Euros. 2. Over $1,700 has been raised during the past two months, from 25 new donors in several countries. This is a significant increase from the rate of donations last year — and if this continues, our organization will be at least minimally financially sustainable. We want to thank everyone who has recently donated. You’re helping to keep the Grantcoin project going and giving hope to thousands of people in impoverished parts of the world. 3. Over 2,000 people have now signed up for Grantcoin Basic Income. Most of them are in developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America — places where a small basic income subsidy, saved over a period of years, could really make a difference in people’s lives. 4. We’re developing a Grantcoin savings account program for children in developing countries. Our team is drafting a proposal to present to two charities, one in Africa and one in Latin America, which have already expressed interest. We hope to expand the program to more charities in the future. 5. Ekata Social has started building an automated wallet creation system for recipients of Grantcoin Basic Income. We expect this to be ready by the next Grantcoin distribution at the end of April. This new technology will significantly reduce the workload of the Grantcoin team and enable the continued rapid growth of our Basic Income program. We’re excited about all the great things that are happening for Grantcoin, and working hard to keep this world-changing project moving forward. Thank you for your support!

Generally I like the idea, even though I'm not sure it will work, but what I'm wondering most about atm is how you keep people from creating several wallets and gaming the system? This is a great and important question. We are utilizing an automated system developed by Ekata.social that incorporates a non web based cell-phone, biometrics, e-mail, and location to determine each user as unique. Those who do not pass this are requested to further verify their identity. We have spent considerable effort towards ensuring abuse does not occur and it will continue to be a high priority. As the project grows and our process improves we will do audits with our current signups to ensure we are not experiencing abuse and to alleviate any discovered loopholes. Title: Re: [ANN][GRT] Grantcoin: Basic Income Currency | Backed by 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Post by: The Grantcoin Foundation on May 17, 2017, 06:05:26 PM Dev, how do you want to get attention if you respond every 3 months? Do you intend what with this project? Be honest and you will get what you deserve! Hi, we are a dedicated team of volunteers and working diligently to improve the quality of the technology and underlying components of the project. That being said, we have admittedly not given due attention to the various public forums. In order to address this, we will soon be launching a slack channel as well as making a much more active effort to regularly provide updates and respond to inquiries in this thread. I apologize for the past delays and can assure you we will be much more accessible moving forward. Title: Re: [ANN][GRT] Grantcoin: Basic Income Currency | Backed by 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Post by: Yefet on June 18, 2017, 04:52:22 PM Urgent Update and News By The Grantcoin Foundation March 13, 2017 The Grantcoin Foundation has several news items to report: we will be pursuing additional third-party exchanges and solutions to make it easier for ordinary people to acquire and trade Grantcoin for other currencies — especially major currencies such as U.S. Dollars and Euros. Hi, I think the easiest way to achieve this goal is to switch Grantcoin to one of the tokens' platform such as BitShares, NXT or Waves. It's much easier to manage the financial part of the project using existing infrastructure of those platform, freeing time for other activities necessary for the project success, eg marketing. I would prefer Waves, as it is on the rise now, and has such a feature like double-chain tokens, Waves/Ethereum, which can be utilised if smart-contract functions are needed in the future.

The highest priorities in the near future are probably the following:
Will update this thread when a more specific list is ready. If you don't have ne1 for Spanish translation of Grantcoin website yet, I'm here. Hi, thank you for your interest in helping out. Can you e-mail me at jon@grantcoin.org and we can talk further? Title: Re: [ANN][GRT] Grantcoin: Basic Income Currency | Backed by 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Post by: legion_miracle on November 08, 2017, 07:31:34 AM GrantCoin is probably my favorite long HODL. They have a great, generous, and caring team. I have personally had the opportunity of chatting with one of the team leaders in this project, and can assure you they care deeply about the success of Grantcoin and the shift to Manna. I'm excited about this team and their project and you should be too!

I decided to sell 1/3 of my investment (against my better judgement) just to create a little liquidity in my portfolio....I know after Manna I am likely going to kick myself in the ass for doing so. The team over at Grantcoin / MannaCurrency is amazing, with a true vision for future success. I have been fortunate enough to personally speak to Brandon Venetta, a team member of Grantcoin, and can honestly say that there is a lot of passion for the future of this coin to be successful. I will hold my remaining 2/3 for quite some time just as most of the users of Grantcoin are doing.
Keep up the great work guys....you are creating positive change in the world...Very glad that I supported this coin, and look forward to continuing to support this team.

Hi, A few months back, you offered to possibly translate aspects of our project into Chinese. If you are still interested, we are happy to provide compensation in Manna. Ideally, we would like to have the whitepaper, website and infograph translated. Can you respond to me at jon@mannabase.com?

Keep up the great work guys, glad to have been an early supporter and long term Hodler of GrantCoin, can't wait to see what the future holds for us as we merge to Manna While I'm fairly new to UBI - GrantCoin, now Manna, seems to be head and shoulders above the other UBI efforts. Distribution started today and I'm optimistic that this project will be the future of UBI. Best of luck to the team and all supporters/holders!

I have some questions about the economics / distribution, but need to read & think more. :-) I have looked into this coin myself and had these concerns as well as the business model of the coin itself. The idea is nice and all but i'm not exactly sure how the execution is going to work, perhaps i'm not fully understanding how it all will work. That being said, I do actually want to see this one succeed because well, the cause seems noble and can actually help some very poor people in their lives.

That being said, I do actually want to see this one succeed because well, the cause seems noble and can actually help some very poor people in their lives. The economics and distribution of UBI are very important considerations. A review of articles on UBI challenges and proposed solutions has led me to believe that the technical and practical aspects of UBI can and will be overcome within the next 6 to 12 months. Searching "Universal Basic Income think-tanks" led me articles and sites where many very smart people are working through many of the challenges. Fortunately cryptocurrency provides a viable solution for both distribution and decentralized control. One of the largest remaining impediments, IMHO, is pushback from national governments, central banks and the rich/powerful everywhere who have greatly benefited from the current systems and practices. A new income system that reduces the power/control of those who have it is likely to face significant resistance from those same people and institutions. A second and equally formidable challenge will be changing the mindset of the masses in some countries. In the USA for example, the concept of income is very tightly bound to "earnings" or "holdings" - many people would argue that UBI equates to money for nothing and would promote laziness and/or idleness. Changing deeply ingrained mindsets can take a very long time. However, there is a storm on the horizon that may force societal change and almost everyone to rethink UBI. The advancements in AI and automation will displace millions of workers globally and ballooning debt levels/fiscal crises will devastate many fiat currencies in the years ahead. This trifecta of upheaval may spark widespread discussion and ultimate acceptance of UBI (hopefully) or civil unrest/state collapse/failure of national governance (bad times for all involved). Let us all hope that viable UBI such as Manna comes to fruition in the near-term to prevent widespread catastrophe in the long-term.

What makes you so sure that UBI in particular is the solution to the issues you pointed out? What good is UBI if it is easy to manipulate the value of that income as well? I don't think the richest people in the world would allow such a thing to rise to power ahead of the old ways though, do you have a perspective on how that's possible?

With people like Mark Zuckerberg and Richard Branson talking about UBI I think the trend is already headed in that direction. Some of the stuff being said is along the lines of: UBI is the patch for the economic problems of everyday people. Some of the wealthier crowd are already huge proponents of UBI such as Pierre Omidyar the founder of Ebay, Andrew Ng cofounder of Coursera and chief scientist at Baidu, Sam Altman president of YCombinator, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk, Bill Gross co-founder of pacific investment management, Ray Kurzweil co-founder of Singularity University, partner at Union Square Ventures Albert Wenger, CEO of O'Reilly Media Tim O'Reilly, Facebook Co-Founder Rick Hughes. Title: Re: [ANN][MANNA] Manna: Universal Basic Income + Blockchain Post by: ThinkerSteve on March 09, 2018, 03:02:10 PM As legion_miracle mentioned, many extraordinarily wealthy and/or well-known individuals are openly supporting UBI. While the early-adopters are forward-thinking and altruistic, other extremely wealthy individuals will eventually realize that an ever increasing wealth disparity between the ultra-rich and everyone else is not indefinitely sustainable. History has proven time and time again, that large numbers of people who are hungry, oppressed, exploited, and feel that they have nothing left to lose will eventually rebel. The rich are often targeted and their families attacked and forced to flee or are killed, and their homes looted and ransacked when those rebellions occur. From a practical standpoint, even those who currently despise the thought of “handouts” (UBI) - it is much easier to placate the masses with basic income than face future rebellions that may end in violent overthrow. In short, UBI helps keep people relatively happy, fed, clothed and housed, which in-turn allows the very rich to remain in power and enjoy their lifestyle without the threat of civil unrest.
Additionally, there are already small UBI experiments either underway or planned. The Finnish government randomly selected 2,000 unemployed Finns from across the country for a trial testing universal basic income. It started in January of 2017 and will run through the end of 2018. Many news outlets are tracking the successes and failures. I am confident that many other governments are closely watching as well. If it can be shown that people can attain higher education, or start new businesses, or simply become less stressed or less prone to violence while receiving UBI then that will provide another big boost. Challenges and growing pains will certainly arise out of the UBI movement, and adoption will come much sooner in some countries than in others, but when implemented correctly it seems the best solution for many of the people-related challenges we face globally.

Thanks, both of you guys brought up some interesting points and i actually had no idea how many powerful people actually support the UBI model. Blockchain is in fact a perfect technology for this, on that I most certainly agree. I suppose my next question would have to be, why MANNA? and why not some other project with bigger backing? What's to stop Zuckerberg creating his own blockchain based UBI? Manna may be the first mover on this, but realistically if anyone that powerful moves in, Manna would be almost automatically 2nd to it. Also is there a place where I can speak to the people behind MANNA anywhere?

Well the obvious first answer would be that they are a first mover as you have mentioned, but I don't think this is by any stretch the best answer. The rebranding from Grantcoin to Manna was a big move that in my opinion was very well done, and looks amazing. However i think the biggest factor that puts Manna as a frontrunner is the continual growth. If you look at the Grantcoin / Manna history you will see a steady growth in use, value and registrations. The last couple cycles for Manna distribution have seen over 20,000 participants. This I believe places Manna as one of, if not the largest UBI platform to date. On top of that, Manna is not restricted to a small region as other UBI social experiments have been, giving them a heads up advantage of data on a more global scale. I'm not saying that Manna will be the frontrunner, but they are certainly positioned well to achieve it. I strongly believe in the platform, and the development team. I have personally had the opportunity to speak with Brandon Venetta, and I could tell there was some true passion for success from the Manna team.

I just sent my balance from bittrex to southxchange. but it seems not working. PLEASE HELP ME!! Guaranteed workaround would be to download the grantcoin wallet prior to manna launch and send coins to grantcoin desktop wallet. From there download the manna wallet and transfer the wallet.dat from grantcoin to manna, and your wallet should update automatically. I'm not sure if sending directly to manna wallet would work from the exchange.

Title: Re: [ANN][MANNA] Manna: Universal Basic Income + Blockchain Post by: legion_miracle on April 10, 2018, 01:30:54 PM The best advertising, this is a working product and favorable conditions. I hope developers will please us with this wish you good luck Devs. Based on what I have seen from grantcoin and the merge to Manna, and the dev team including Brandon Venetta, this coin has a very bright future with an astounding amount of potential, slow stable, and steady growth, an expanding community, and consistent forward progress. I have watched the members grow over 4x since I got in on this project.

We are working on implementing multiple language translations for our website and whitepaper and hope to make this available soon.

Over the last 5 years, the Manna project has grown from humble roots to something far greater than we ever would have imagined. It started as a simple idea to create a currency with a conscience -- that value should be derived from values. For good and for bad, money connects the world in ways few other things can.

Also, I think you should focus on getting listed on more exchanges. Kind regards Hi Gerry, We will be releasing a detailed update on the roadmap of Manna and planned next steps in the coming weeks. There was a pretty detailed update in early January available here: http://archive.aweber.com/awlist5172279/Loz4F/h/Happy_New_Years_A_Reflection.htm (http://archive.aweber.com/awlist5172279/Loz4F/h/Happy_New_Years_A_Reflection.htm) I'd recommend reading this in the meantime if you haven't already. As for exchanges, we certainly plan to get added to more exchanges soon. Right now though, our priority is updating the Manna blockchain tech first, then encouraging new exchanges. Thanks for reaching out, - The Manna Team Title: Re: [ANN][MANNA] Manna: Universal Basic Income + Blockchain Post by: TherapOne on February 05, 2021, 05:09:57 AM every year one news?
