[ANN] UBIC:The cryptocurrency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport

[ubicorn]

Thank you for your support.
I will think about this Mnemonic thing but it will probably implemented later maybe at the end of the year.

Apparently with iOS 12 the iPhone's NFC capabilities will not be limited to NDEF Tags anymore. This is a very good news and if it is true it means that iPhones will become able to read the passport NFC chip.

I am continuing my work on the mobile app for android. Still about 2 weeks to go.

Here are some screenshots:

@ubicorn will there be a testnet, and if yes when?

if anyone speaks Russian the video is about UBI being a possible solution for a very poor country like Ukraine,

There will be one once the main net gains attention and growth beyond a certain point. Currently the main net is pretty much a test net.

Thank you for sharing.
Ukrainian passports can also be used with UBIC.

My thougths today:
 - The development of a thin/lightweight client should be considered
 - There could be a new unit called UBI day. This unit would be the amount of UBI a recipient received during the last 24 hours.
   I think that this unit makes it much easier to represent value. You would have prices like coffee: 1 UBI day, piece of cake: 2 UBI days... and so on.

Your idea could indeed circumvent some missunderstandings and would make it easier to set transparent prices with ubic?

I am so curious if people will accept (and comprehend) the relative value relations of unit count to participant count.

Second thought: "ubi block" may be more adaptive than "ubi day"?

Sad news, there was no mention of new NFC functionalities in iOS 12 at the keynote.

Oups, they put i behind paywall. Just wanted to share that IOS runs just on a minority of 15 to 16 percent of mobiles.

I will probably release the Android app this evening or tomorrow morning.
The play store link will be posted here later on.

And here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=network.ubic.ubic

It is still experimental but it does the basic stuff: registering a passport for UBI, receiving transaction and sending transaction

Thank you! I hope this will increase the number of people using UBIC.

Unfortunately it didn't gained as much attention as I hoped for. Probably it is something too new for people to fully understand how it works and so they are distrustful.
I guess the best thing would be to organize an airdrop so people would download the app to get an address.

So the feedback I got was that most people don't understand it, a lot of people are also afraid about scanning the NFC chip of their passport.

There is probably the need to do a lot of educational work. By the way I like your airdrop idea.

A friend of mine did destroy the  epass-chip intentionally a few years ago.

It may take time to explain that a tool of survillance can also be used as a tool to reclaim freedom.
