Still work in progress...
- Found out how to build faircoind on Ubuntu
- Started to follow guide on how to build on windows
- Installed a trunk load of crap on my pc
- Updated logo's
- Updated SSL
- Added db.h script from Novacoin repo
- Found contribs for Windows
- Barfed a bit after looking at all the steps required to make a build
- Started a build and found out it takes very long
- Cancelled it, calling it a night, will continue tomorrow  
...
- Dreaming of a nice, sexy Java API to wrap around this stenchy wallet lol

I will dedicate my time to it tonight - I'll try to team up with Thokon00.
I'm a skilled Java Dev, so that kinda clashes with how this wallet is set up.
The whole Qt buildprocess and library management is just nasty imho. Your OS needs to be part of the build environment. That's so 1900'ish.

- The annual interest goes directly to MintPal - however coins need a cool down time before the minting process starts, MintPal makes use of a lot of wallet addresses so they'd have to implement a high level of coin control for coins to keep staking. I don't assume that they'll spend resources on that for PoS coins (yet). Coins like ZeitCoin and MintCoin are way more interesting for that.
- Interest is only 6% yearly.  Right now there's 50,018,932 FAC. So we're talking about 19.000 FAC minted so far. That's not enough to ruin the market.

To my opinion it's just that we (including the dev team) aren't making enough noise yet. So how do we do that?

And further more; if we make enough noise, what'll happen to the coin? Do we really want to get pumped & dumped?

Wow, didn't see that one coming lol
I bought in 'cheap' today at 320 sat. Thinking that it couldn't go any lower then that. I guess I thought wrong
Just look at the volumes of of DRK and XLB on MintPal. It's sucking the life out of all other coins. USDe, MINT, DOGE and other strong coins are all bleeding out.

The positive news is that we're still on page 1 volume wise on MintPal and that we've got 0.5 BTC Volume on Bittrex

I've asked asked CoinPayments.net what can be done - other than voting - to get on their platform quicker.
You can read the message I've sent at http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php?topic=31.msg117#msg117

If you haven't voted already at CoinPayments.net, please do at https://www.coinpayments.net/vote
We need this platform to progress on our FairTrade initiatives - by voting you'll be helping The Water Project to give access to safe water in regions where that isn't a commonality.

I like the Bittrex market very much, so I have also asked to keep FairCoin on their exchange.

Hi Bill,

I'd like to motivate why FairCoin does not belong in that list above other than the previous statements.
If you take a quick look at the other coins, there is just hardly any comparison to FairCoin.

In the short time that FairCoin has first became visible (25 feb 2014) we've had over 410 pages of activity at the old FairCoin topic at (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=487212.0) . At the moment where the old developer abandoned ship and the new, very enthusiastic team, took over (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=601280.180) we've managed to get over 24 pages of positive community activity (since 8 may!).

- We have an active community
- We have a dedicated development team
- We have our own backlog
- We have our own forum
- And last but not least; we have a great logo

In MintPal we our volume swings between the 2 and 4 BTC daily. I know that isn't much at the moment, but we've known peak times where the market volume was in alignment with BlackCoin.

Comparing that to the other coins:
BonusCoin, launched 20 march, 61 pages of activity.
InfiniteCoin, launched 5 june 2013, 83 pages of activity
MonaCoin, launched 21 december 2013, 51 pages of activity
GoldCoin - I can't even find that one out! Topics are scattered all over the place...

It will take time before we're back on our old volumes- that won't happen over night. But one thing that I do know is that we'll do the best we can to make FairCoin a well established coin.

So, for all of the above reasons, I'd like to ask you to keep FairCoin on Bittrex.

Kind regards,

Drakandar

Couldn't agree more 

Congrats from me as well :-)

What I'd like to say to all other Fairconians; if you have voted in the logo competition and haven't left your address in the giveaway topic you're missing out on a fairly large portion of free FAC.

To thank the voters; 2500 FAC will be shared among all the voters who also joined in on the giveaway. Right now there are 13 voters and way less voting giveaway participants. See our forum for more details and the conditions at http://forum.fair-coin.org

Dear FairCoin-friends,

I'd like to introduce a new Project which is in direct alignment with our goals; I'd like for us to be enlisted at CoinPayment.net

To gain visibility and to allow FairCoin to be tradable on unlimited platforms, we need a 3d party payment provider. Luckily there's CoinPayments.net who has the platform that can be used to do exactly this. Having this will support our cause for integrating with FairTrade online shops. We'll make a fairly strong case then :-)


Voting can be done once per user account. They support a very fair goal, namely The Water Project.

I would like to ask all FairCoin fans to promote us at CoinPayments.net. Note: "Only one vote per person, any additional votes will only change your existing vote."

You can share your ideas and comments here and on http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php/topic,31

Check their storeslist at https://www.coinpayments.net/store-directory

When you're shopping for free FAC and exploring our forum, please stop by at the logo competition and leave your vote at http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php/topic,20.0.html
To further promote the synergy between these two projects, I'll be personally donating an additional 2500 FAC bonus shared between the users that have voted on their favority logo and have left their address in the giveaway topic.



I personally am still assuming FairCoin could reach € 1.32 per FAC. So we're giving away €9900 potentially. OMG are we crazy!? Go get them before we change our mind lol

Superb! One dependency less to be worried about!

People that:
A: Like this coin
B: Want to decide what's going to be the next Look and Feel of FairCoin
C: Want to receive 50 free FAC at http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php?topic=23.0  


And I voted at ShareXcoin https://sharexcoin.com/votings?coin=FAC again
We are at spot nr 9 now!

Voted and tweeted :-)

We're not just one dev, see the OP for more info.

The main priority is to solve the (technical) debt caused by the transition from the old dev.

What we've done so far:
- Consolidate/Create new ANN OP Post
- Consolidate FairCoin Sources at GitHub https://github.com/
- Design a new homepage
- Purchase domain fair-coin.org and hosting
- Setup Groups Email for non-secure easy and fast communication
- Create new FairCoin Twitter account named FairCoinTeam
- Consolidate reddit subpage at http://www.reddit.com/r/faircoin
- Develop Forum System (http://forum.fair-coin.org)

What's next is:
- Create FairCoin Core Team and validate identities (only some Google Docs work left to do)
- Consolidate Blockexplorer at http://fac.blockx.info/connected-nodes
- Community chosen CoinLogo
- Get in touch with current exchages
- Form Faircoin's Wiki
- Integrate new FairCoin Logo into wallet
- Compile new wallet, with new logo + security patches and upload it to megaco.nz, contact exchanges
- Contact CoinMarketCap to change the homepage to fair-coin.org

What'll be after that:
- Remove FairCoin from NXT-E Exchange due to previous relation
- FairCoin Twitter Giveaway 1
- Create a complete list of all merchants accepting FairCoin
- Align with FairTrade Initiatives

And more:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13ZycWGX8-ArxoWLYPW4rjuNcCPqzuXSX2INGhYOXTdc/edit#gid=1791852011

Noted and added to the backlog :-)
Update contact CoinMarketCap, waiting for confirmation.
Opened up a topic http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php?topic=24.0

As far as I am concerned, it'll be in the next version of the wallet. Fixing it shouldn't be too much trouble imho.

That's great to hear

I've added the ANN Post at http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php?topic=22.0, I'd recommend creating a new FairFunding project at http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php?board=7.0 for your giveaway and linking it back to the ANN Post.

Depending on how well this goes, I'll be throwing in a bounty from myself as well. That'll be a nice usecase to test out my new java json rpc wallet driver at https://github.com/UnionSoft/cryptocoin-java-json-rpc-wallet-client

Okay, back to business :-)

I'm working on a Twitter (repeating) Retweet Campaign (Faucet like Twitter Bot) to increase visibility and awareness about FairCoin.

I would really like to have some feedback on the plan at hand.
You can find the details at: http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php?topic=11.0

Drakandar

Not to be blunt or anything, but what's holding you back to do some hard work for FairCoin?
Lots of hard work has been done and will be done - and it was all related to technical debt caused by the departure of the previous developer..
So please take a look at the backlog and find out how you can contribute.

Last thing; Imho the goal is not to make the value of the coin high. The goal is to create community acceptance for FairCoin by building a solid platform. Like I said before, that doesn't happen over night. 'Value' will come evidently.
