[ANN][FAIR] FairCoin - for a fair economy, featuring proof-of-cooperation

[drakandar]

Also send an email to the Bittrex supportdesk regarding the faulty message:

Last week we encountered this warning on your exchange for the currencypair FAIR/BTC at https://www.bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-FAIR:"This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on January 16th unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.2 BTC."

We believe this is in error:
- FairCoin payed 3 BTC to get listed on Bittrex in the first place.
- Since the listing on Bittrex we've had a fair volume.
- In the last week the volume was more than 2 BTC
- The week before that around 1,2 BTC.
- In the month that FairCoin is now on your exchange, we've pushed more then 13 BTC on volume around. That averages on 3,32 BTC a week.

Given the points above, I believe there is much interest in FairCoin and the trading volume is more then adequate given that the whole community tipped in.

Therefor I'd like to ask you to remove this warning as soon as possible.

At this moment our price in getfaircoin (1 € --> 200 faircoin) is around 0,00003000  BTC (yesterday was 2700)  therefore everytime that we receive funds from getfaircoin users we are going to buy up until this amount at least.

excellent

If you want to explain why getfaircoin is important to your networks, and extend specially to people that fears bitcoin and dont kno how to install a wallet this is what i have wrote to share:

Faircoop today launch http://getfaircoin.net   where now you can get faircoin easily and with the trust of the faircoop community and values.

Getfaircoin is a previous step for the launch of fairmarket which will be an ethical and solidary market at world level, to help the p2p economy and mutual aid, without depending old the old banking system. Fairmarket its going a be launched in february, before and from now you can already order your faircoins.!

Also getfaircoin.net, because fix the price at least for all the day, will be a key method to protect the price estability to make easy for sellers and consumers, to use faircoin as a trade currency. With this the price of faircoin will be in the hands of the faircoop community and not  the speculators. Today the price is 1 € 200 faircoin :-)

...and if you guess how to install the faircoin wallet, now with the detailed tutorial, you not have excuse to learn it.

Hi,

Android wallet development has been suspended temporarily until the next hard fork. It will be available soon after the next wallet release, which will be in the next weeks. I will keep you all up-to-date about the release date as soon as I can predict it.

Together with the FairSavings program https://www.coopfunding.net/en/campaigns/fair-coop-the-earth-cooperative-for-a-fair-economy/ this will bring growth to FairCoin

@Enric; a picture on the coopfunding.net faircoin campaign needs a fix

Yes getfaircoin.net and fairsaving are integrated. Therefore people without a wallet can make a deposit convert in faircoin and save it. (there is the fairsaving option in the checkout)

about coopfunding, please share in this thread to discuss what do yo think, drakandar, https://fair.coop/groups/faircoop-community/fairsaving-998091977/forum/topic/ask-anything-about-the-crowdfunding-campaign-in-coopfunding/

Looks and feels like a great day for FAIRCOIN 

Great news all around.

[smartaction]

From my point of view the main flaw of bitcoin and all other altcoins except faircoin, is that their systems are based in competition and selfish management
this means that miners, companys, individuals.etc, are trustless related the other holders because they compite between each other, and they are able to collapse the bitcoin  boat if they feel that is the way to save as individuals.

If we with faircoin and faircoop, are succesful in create a system based in cooperation and trust between the peers. we will over take this competition based systems...

mark my words for the future

   co-operation has to be the way into the future. competetition between camps has led us into fragmented/isolated groups and horribly wasted resources. good job leading the way smartaction. thanks.

If faircoin can show that it is not as volatile as "normal" cryptos with a healthy value increase even the last speculators will lose interest in speculating with it. Getfaircoin is pretty cool to have a reference price and an anchor in the hands of faircoop so its less vulnerable to the 'sell high buy low game' and individual profit maximazation like it goes on with bitcoin

This makes me wonder what other mechanism are available to stabilize the coin's value even more. Say that we have a number of dedicated traders who 'buy low sell high' and donate their earnings to a BTC fund which will buy up any FAIR that goes below a certain threshold. Would that work?
