Freicoin Foundation and its grants
  • Hi, I'm not sure this is the right sub-forum, but here we go...

    Freicoin is a p2p currency (forked from bitcoin) that features the demurrage first proposed by Silvio Gesell. Another important difference is that unlike bitcoin, no all the initial monetary base is issued by miners: 80% of the initial monetary base will be given out to charity and global commons projects as grants managed by the freicoin foundation (almost ready to be established).

    That's where this open source ecology community comes in. We would like the give grants to open source ecology projects as we consider that part of the global commons and therefore a legitimate way to issue the currency.

    We're just starting and we would prefer "small projects" or sub-projects at first, until we define the grant selection process and rules more clearly.
    I encourage you to explain your proposal on our forum (we plan to develop a specialized web for that, but the forum is what we will use for now): http://www.freicoin.org/freicoin-foundation-f15.html

    Don't be afraid of submitting an incomplete proposal. We're there to help and, well, we're new at giving money away, so we all need to learn.

    I hope we receive interesting proposals from this community. Don't hesitate to ask any doubts you have.
