(that is in spanish)

Paralelamente a la celebración del Mobile World Congress (MWC), la startup catalana Bitchain especializada en plataformas de bitcoin ha presentado en colaboración con la compañía Chip Chap, un monedero digital para criptomonedas que permite adquirir bitcoins, cambiar divisas y realizar pagos y transferencias desde el móvil. Los millennials se estarán frotando las manos en estas jornadas repletas de innovación tecnológica.
Tampoco han querido faltar al encuentro digital, el activista Enric Duran, popularmente conocido como “el Robin Hood de los Bancos” y Hervé Falciani, el exinformático de HSBC y autor de la lista que lleva su propio nombre acompañado de 130.000 evasores fiscales. Ambos promueven proyectos similares a Eurocat destinado a crear una moneda complementaria en Catalunya que sea “libre de intereses, digital, equivalente al euro y con control social del crédito”. Y todos ellos emplearán la plataforma Chip Chap con el objetivo de facilitar el uso y popularizar las monedas sociales y complementarias.
Funcionalidades

Desde Bitchain, aseguran que una de las asignaturas pendientes de la industria móvil es la gestión digital del dinero y el pago con smartphone y Bitcoins en comercios físicos que así lo permitan. Este vacío de mercado puede llenarse de color gracias a la aplicación de Chip Chap que permite llevar a cabo ambas funcionalidades.
A partir de ahora, las plataformas bancarias tradicionales podrán estar, bajo el supuesto de que así lo deseen, mucho más cerca de las monedas virtuales. Por su parte, el usuario podrá comprar Bitcoins con su tarjeta de crédito, enviar su dinero “de forma segura, a bajo coste y sin intermediarios” o incluso intercambiar la moneda virtual por euros y retirarlos en cajeros tradicionales, asegura la propia compañía fundada el 30 de abril de 2015.
La plataforma desarrollada prevé transformar también el paradigma de la VISA desde su postura tradicional a un contexto virtual en el que se podrá pagar en todos los negocios e-commerce mediante Bitcoins. De momento, la banca móvil ya está empezando a autorizar extracciones de dinero en algunos cajeros automáticos mediante SMS y sin tarjeta de crédito. Aunque parece bastante complejo que sus caminos vayan a juntarse.

there's this onlinewallet service including POS-Pool.
https://coinwallet.co
Faircoin could be added for a fee of 0.25 BTC or the equivalent in Faircoin.
I asked ethought (he is running this service) and that's what he answered.

"Hi -

Would be happy to add Faircoin.

Currently there is a fee of 0.25 BTC or equivalent in Faircoin for addition.

Let me know if interested.

Regards

ethought"

Is there any interest for doing this?

I am using coinwallet.co services since two years ago without issues, but if Faircoin is not having issues because the people have not the wallet opened staking, i think it would be useless.

Sorry. I'm not sure if I got what you mean?
You mean it is better for network if many people have there own wallet open for staking instead of staking in an onlinewallet with POS-Pool?
maybe, but I think the average user will leave his wallet open only once in a while.
they could possibly increase their POS rewards with that Pool.
otherwise I doubt this will be the case for people that stake with their own wallet very often.

We are going to leave POS after faircoin 2 deployment, which should be in june. So, that not should be an issue at that moment

So a POS-Pool would make no sense afterwards?
But it could be used til then and it would still serve as a web-wallet service for the lazy average user afterwards.

so is coinwallet.co a good idea for faircoin or not?
what's the communitys opinion?

New topic and explanation about how Faircoin 2 is being developed:
https://fair.coop/groups/faircoop-community/faircoin/faircoin2/forum/topic/explaining-faircoin-v2/

[Jack Liver]

"This version problably will be no longer called faircoin as it’s a complete new system, a kind of decentralized and high efficient infrastructure, rewritten from scratch, with big data technology, distributed transaction confirmation (distributed load), several blockchain in a distributed database, etc…

Faircoin as a currency, should be one of the coins using that blockchain of the commons."

faircoin 3.0 will be a platform like ethereum, bitshare etc. ?

In some sense, yes. But the goal here is to build up an scalable blockchain available for any professional banking requirement
with thousands of transactions by second, like visa but decentralized with blockchain. Something similar currently being developed
is bigchaindb -> https://www.bigchaindb.com/

This is not urgent for faircoin because we need to scalate the user participation first, but some faircoop partners are asking us to join with this kind of big requirements
for the future.
