Dear FBX community, Lets firstly thank you all for your great job in this awesome project that I am sure all the hackers' eyes are targeted on even more in this tough time. I would like to share with the FBX community the fact of the OpenUDC project. Here's a brief abstract that I got from its website [1]:
""" OpenUDC aims to define a set of open protocols and standards to exchange new currencies, and to provide an open-source software implementation of them. UDC means Universal Digital Currencies or Universal Dividend Currencies. Both definitions are fair since a currency in line with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [2] HAVE TO apply the Universal Dividend. The OpenUDC project has been launched through the meeting of the TRM (Théorie Relative de la Monnaie [3]) and Universal Digital Currency project (UDC project [3]). The "Universal Monetary Dividend" [4] as defined in the TRM [5] is more precise than the "Basic Income" [6] as it specifies where the money comes from, how it is created, and why so. OpenUDC implementations allow human members to exchange in a spirit of equity, digital goods and services in space (between members) and in time (between members and future members). """ I suggest you to read also this french article [7] (google translation [8]) highlighting the weaknesses and mistakes of the Bitcoin currency in opposition to OpenUDC which respects these members in time and space. If I had to generalize it then I would say that the main key is the symmetry in the economical system. As OpenUDC is also based on a decentralized model and aiming to give an alternative economical structure for these members freedoms as well then in my own opinion, I think the project should be a part of the FBX. It will then integrate a currency system providing for each member an universal dividend. Waiting for your feedback, BR, Caner.
