Hi,

I don't think that is really the case here.  On the one hand, the fact that there is a portion of mined Zcash diverted to the company (with 10 percent going to the for-profit startup, apparently with the bulk of that 10 percent to pay back investors who have already coughed up over 700k), could be seen as a criticism - do that for too long, the community isn't going to look kindly upon it, and some people simply aren't going to like the fact that it's done at all.  On the other hand, apart from the criticism it invites, it also can be seen as a potential net positive - no matter what, Zcash will have paid off its investors and have a tidy development fund to utilize.   

In addition, there's nothing requiring anyone to use Zcash... the team has already produced Zerocoin (its initial release) and later, developed Zerocash, before its current release of Zcash (alpha, testnet).  (ANC development schedule shows some development work done with Zerocoin - for details see https://wiki.anoncoin.net/Development_schedule - though there were hiccups from back in fall of 2014 with heavy proofs and other issues, which apparently have taken a while to work out).  So, it's an open source world... people can use what they will.  I am guessing that if people want to use Zcash they will, for example, and if they want to use Zerocoin they will... each project that is evaluating using those will have their rationale for the direction they want to go.

Coinfire was pretty spot on with the Josh Garza/GAW/Paycoin scandal...

Whenever I try and start the wallet on Xubuntu 14.04x64 I get the following error and it closes immediately.

Site currently:

Maintenance in progress (blockchain backup, bitcoind upgrade).

Mining activity is not affected.

We apologize for the inconvenience.


Here is the link to the forum discussion.

So assuming this hasn't been there for ages, things are still happening.

FairCoop made the first contact for this mediatic and succesful emplacement, so bitchain will be very glad with us 
Chip Chap is also involved managing the sofware and the exchange.

And the agreement with them is for all the ATM, (already 3 more in spain working), and plans to extend the network together
in Greece.  They could install 20 ATM monthly if there are good placements,
So if someone have a good placement to suggest let us know! 

So, my proposal could be designed like this.

We build a Faircoin stabilization fund. That fund only appears in special situations, like we have now. I n the future when Coopshares liquidity fund would be bigger, probably that stabilization fund not would be needed, but right now is needed.

From getfaircoin we manage that fund.  we receive Bitcoin,  and buy on the sell walls. After that we distribute the faircoins in proportion of your investment.

For the people that suports the stabilization fund, and as a reciprocity of the risk that you are taking
We could bring 20% bonus of your buy in Bittrex, as a free investment in Coopshares FIF.  (This comes from the sells that we are doing in getfaircoin.net at bigger price)

So, as example. You invest 1 BTC, with that BTC the stabilization fund, buys 10000 FAIR (if the prices 10000 satoshis in that case)
then we send you the 10000 FAIR and we create for you an investment of 2000 FAIR in Coopshares FIF.


People that want to help without enter to the fund, can do anyway, managing their funds at their own, but without the coopshares bonus.

I would like to know if there are people interested in join.

This is what we are trying to do with http://www.coopshares.net
Any support to help to build that project is welcome... and getting the liquidity need is very welcome
