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

[TupambaeNet]

just test on clean new install of debian jessie 8.1XFCE i586 (not update/upgraded) on T420 (not 64bit but works anyway)

make sure to place a copy of your still working faircoin1 installation alongside the new installation like this:

./FairCoin
./faircoin2

where ./faircoin2 is the new by the installation process created folder containing faircoin2 PoC

Code:

su
apt-get install build-essential autoconf libssl-dev libboost-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqrencode-dev git libleveldb-dev libleveldb1 libtool autoconf autotools-dev pkg-config libdb++-dev libevent-dev

git clone https://github.com/faircoin/faircoin.git

cd faircoin

./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-tests --disable-bench --with-incompatible-bdb

make  
make install

exit

when you initialize  faircoin-qt the first time, probably straight away from your console:

Code:

faircoin-qt

faircoin2 will ask you where to place the installation folder ./faircoin2 , probably proposing:
/home/username./faircoin

Make sure to place a copy of your working installation of your old FairCoin installation alongside this new folder before going on with the instalation:
 /home/username./FairCoin
 /home/username./faircoin2

Then finish to initialize the installation process of faircoin2.

You should have access to your brand new faircoin2 PoC coins → faircoin

If you had trouble with coins send from old addresses to new addresses, like mentioned a few pages before:

I sent faircoin from old wallet to new wallet and did not receive any faircoins can any one tell how can I retrieve my faircoins

for example by sending your coins from a faircoin1 wallet to the identical address of the new bittrex wallet, try to get an older back up of your wallet.dat and use that as initializing wallet.dat for the upgrading process. Also it is possible that the transaction simply will not figure in the new faircoin2 chain and you might see your coins anyway.

That said your faircoin1 tokens do still exist and rest in the wallets of bittrex.
That's a unacceptable circumstance!

Welcome to faircoin2.0 PoC!
--------
let's save FairCoin PoS as a token te evolve more blockchain related proposals for a fairer cooperation.
we keep minting faircoin1 and hope to convince the FairCoinTeam to do so too!

Who would wan't to trade a coin without a supporting community, nore activ coding development, nore trading platforms like the "original" faircoin against it's evolution? We already have a evoltioning fair money coin → faircoin.

But what the still existing fairtoken could be used for is to create other evolutionary forks for to creat fairShares, fairTickets and other blockchain related use cases for the community. We will always have the basics of a worlking ledger that has a wide distribution of already interested "stake holders".

Point is that we we would have to rescue in the first place the coins that are on electrum servers as the faircoin1 server went down, at least for a prudent time period, to give people the chance to take their tokens of the electrum wallets, and of course all the tokens that are on the old ledger at bittrex have to be recovered also! I doubt that bittrex has any legal rights to those tokens.

What are you talking about? Every user keeps the same balance in FairCoin2 in a 1:1 manner starting from the 18th of July! No coins are lost or inaccessible. Just download the latest wallets from here including the Electrum wallet and you're good. To all of you: do not trust or care what is happening on the deprecated FairCoin1 blockchain.

Stop using the FairCoin1 blockchain. Close your old wallets and upgrade them. The wallet upgrade happens automatically on the first start of the FairCoin2 core wallet. No user interaction needed.

For the time being, restore your Electrum for FairCoin2 wallet from the seed.

That said your faircoin1 tokens do still exist and rest in the wallets of bittrex.
That's a unacceptable circumstance!

Again, what are you talking about? Bittrex supports FairCoin2 only. We were closely working together to perform a professional swap on the 18th. Please, stop spreading FUD here, OK?

There is no such thing like a FairCoin1 token, there isn't. FairCoin1 is a deprecated piece of software that needs to be upgraded.

If you're not sure about issues related the migration to FairCoin2 please consult this document here: https://github.com/faircoin/faircoin/wiki/FairCoin2-migration-FAQ
Or Just ask here first, before posting false assumptions.

Nevertheless, thanks for the guide in your previous post.

i still remember i can send faircoin without paying any transaction fees in the pass,now with the new wallet transaction fees is set default at 0.01 faircoin/kb,could i manually setting 0 transaction fees with no problem when i sending my coins?

This was a lack of security problem that gave risk for spamming the blockchain, now is setup at 0.01 faircoin/kb, and would be decresed in proportion as the official value of faircoin growth.

What do you mean "the official value" ?

We clearly have 2 values ATM, between 0.40$\0.50$ at bittrex and 0.20$ at Getfaircoin with a buy limit of 100$ a month right?

So the official price is the one you guys set up @getfaircoin and not the one @Bittrex?

If you don't mind me asking: Why such a big gap in the price?

Yes,  the value that getfaircoin reproduces, is the one that comes from the decision of the open faircoop assembly, and is you know is guaranted to all the merchants and reproduced by all the associated resources (freedomcoop, bank of the commons, local nodes, use-faircoin, fairmarket. fairpay, etc...)

Big gap in the way up happens because growth is faster than the timing of the assemblies. As i already explained before, we only do an assembly for discussing the price, at the month.

Please, stop spreading FUD here, OK?

FUD?
why do you insult me thokon00?

perhaps you better read twice.

btw -thanks for the great job of merging/creating into the new faircoin!

[solarrobot]

Hey, really interested fair.coop, i've been doing some reading about it. I was thinking of applying to become a node operator, is it hard to become one at this point?  I want to read more and get involved on fair.coop, but i'm also interested in starting a local node. I wish there were more projects like this in the cryptosphere, and will definitely support any more projects like it.  Thanks for all your hard work devs!

You are welcome to join on the discussing groups in telegram... could send me your username by PM and i can add you to the group about CVN where you can ask questions about how it works, Anyway one of these steps is to join the form for creating a CVN

As for a local node,  you can learn how to create one here,  http://fair.coop/docs/how-to-create-local-nodes/

and also ask any questions in the telegram groups

I was referring to the following statement of yours:

That said your faircoin1 tokens do still exist and rest in the wallets of bittrex.
That's a unacceptable circumstance!

Well, maybe I got you wrong. Please elaborate on what you wanted to say here.

Nice drop in the price @ Bittrex, it is almost 1 on 1 to Getfaircoin.

Hey Enric, when is the next meeting with the coop to set up the new price?

I would like to buy some more Faircoins but $100 is a bit short for me.

It is planned at 10 of august

[ninjask]

60 BTC buying walls @Bittrex ... looking solid.

60 BTC buying walls @Bittrex ... looking solid.

Actually if you select the option "show all" will see the full total for the buy and sell order book.
The buy is today at 77 BTC and got 90 BTC at some moment.... I think is ATH for this data for faircoin in Bittrex

[loremipsum]

Should I buy 100$ of faircoin using the website today or wait until August 10 when the next meeting is? Is there any chance of reducing the buy price in the getfaircoin website?
