Fairmarket alpha testing version launched on World Fair Trade Day
Fairmarket is FairCoop’s online market, where all the products and services offered by members of this cooperative can be found. A key project in the new global economic ecosystem we want to build is being born.
It works under the concept of an “open cooperative”; that is to say, everyone can easily be a member of FairCoop. As a seller, simply by using this tool, building your e-shop and providing your goods and services, you take part in the process and therefore you participate as a member of it.
The first alpha testing version of the Fairmarket has been published today, as the world celebrates World Fair Trade Day http://wfto.com/events/world-fair-trade-day-2015 With Fairmarket, FairCoop is contributing to an inclusive worldwide festival of events celebrating Fair Trade as a tangible contribution to the fight against poverty and exploitation, climate change, and the economic crisis that has the greatest impact on the world’s most vulnerable populations.
This is an open testing phase, not fully operational, where we need your participation and suggestions to improve the platform and fix bugs.
So, Fairmarket is now under collective construction, and you can already join, propose ideas and get involved.
Alongside this launch, FairCoop is also presenting the first batch of Bounties. 300,000 Faircoin will be redistributed through 15 projects choosen as priorities by the FairCoop community. Read them, and if you think that you could get involved, add yourself as a candidate and become part of the process!
Fairmarket will be launched in three phases. For now, we are in the alpha phase.
In this phase seller registration is already open and you can start setting up your shop, uploading your products and services and promoting yourself.
The next phase, the beta phase, will be when the market opens for trading, but it will still be lacking many of the features that are currently planned.
The third phase will be the fully productive one, when FairCoop will present to the postcapitalist world a full–featured marketplace to build the network economy that all of us deserve.
Now to begin, we need to build a strong Fairmarket community and you can get involved to make this possible.

Just added Faircoin to payment methods in my website ( http://masseur-london.org.uk/ ), do you think this is the type of service I can add to the Fair Market? And also, in case I want to convert my Faircoins in British Pounds or Euros any time, wich is the best way to do it? Thanks
Yes, seems that your service is fair enough for being on the fairmarket, because is a service that you do with your hands, so there are not middleman or production in poor working conditions, at the first view; so feel free to joint and upload your services and promotion there.
Otherwise related change from faircoin to fiat money, we will set up a service for merchants to do it, with the next fairmarket beta version. Our partner Betabank is preparing for that, using the structure that they already have with http://fairbill.com Also in the other hand Chip chap is working to set up cashout service with ATM in UK, but this dont have yet a confirmed deadline. Anyway there other services of digital changing that they are working in, that will give some other possibilities... to change.
Also, great that you accept faircoin: I added your project in this thread that we are beginning to mantain with services that accepts faircoin

I have added this note in the about section of getfaircoin.net
Note: We only can garantee the exchange rate to users than purchase until 1000 euros every 7 days for person. For bigger amounts, ask to admin @ getfaircoin.net for the exchange rate that could be made.
This helps to create some security in the service, and the exchange offered

http://GetFaircoin.net has moved from 1 € = 60 FAIR to 1 € = 55 FAIR
This is to balance the price in getfaircoin with the price in bittrex,
There, the price of BTC / FAIR is consolidating near 9000 Satoshis, at the same time that Bitcoin is growing steadly related euro, which have as a result
also an steady grow of faircoin price.
Also is important to note that getfaircoin has the reserves very short at the moment, so could be riskful to maintain the price more lower...

I have a problem, i had some fair coins in an older wallet and now when I updated the blockchain, there are all gone! Please help!
Hey DragoStefan
At some point we recovered lost coins from the initial giveaway. We can refund these coins to you.
Please provide to [email protected] with a signed message for each address, which proves that you are the owner of the addresses. To do this, open your wallet, then choose Sign message from the file menu.
Enter the first FairCoin address from the initial distribution you wish to recover and a text message e.g. the text "recovery:
Repeat these steps for every address you wish to recover.
The end result will look something like this:
recovery: fREQHR7aLAT4wmAcs6UpXHTcgi2FWrvQXA

New partnership around the Faircoop / Faircoin ecosystem
Interconnecting financial alternatives | Partnership with BetaBank!
https://fair.coop/interconnecting-financial-alternatives-partnership-with-betabank/
Betabank ( https://betabank.de/) is a community social bank courtesy of the German cooperative Betacoop (https://betacoop.de/). It aims to generate new pathways designed to lead us towards a practical alternative economy, based on solidarity and focused on people, through the generation of decentralized economic networks where members can take advantage of mutual credit to meet their basic needs.
An alternative virtual currency called “beta” is used within BetaBank and free accounts are offered, as well as various payment services and innovative financing models.
It offers a Mobile Banking app for iPhone and Android that allows users to pay securely and check their balance via SMS. A very convenient option for interaction which, by the way, does not necessarily require a smartphone and / or internet coverage for use.
Typically, conventional banks are highly restrictive, limiting to their clients (whether individuals or companies) the ability to interact with an online portal owner. With Betabank the opposite is true: the system is more flexible and so the options expand. In the case of individuals, receiving online payment notifications is allowed. And in a business context, the account can be can accessed via an API to automate payments and update internal systems, eliminating the need to perform tedious manual tasks.
One of Betabank’s most important projects is Fairbill ( https://fairbill.com/), a payment processor platform that already includes a variety of payment methods, and will soon also accept Faircoins.
But not only this – also Betabank is currently developing a webwallet of Faircoin that doesn’t require installation: simply by requesting its activation the user is assigned a Faircoin address and can send and receive Faircoins.
Meanwhile FairCoop already has an account with Betabank and has added this option to the GetFaircoin site among its transfer options. GetFaircoin is working to include the Fairbill system and thus enjoy greater autonomy in key payment systems such as the acceptance of cards; at the same time, it is expected that Fairbill will be the tool for transactions of the shortly to be launched Fairmarket.
All these integrations are now, along with the creation of a local node in Leipzig, some of the first results of the recent alliance between Betabank and FairCoop and all of which means another step toward building collective, transparent and democratically-based financial alternatives for a new economic system; one that is self-managed and outside of the predatory conventional banking system.
So, now you can buy faircoin in http://getfaircoin.net making wire transfer to a german bank account.
And very soon fairbill will mean an alternative to paypal for buying faircoin using debit and credit card
