Hello, I'm but a simple member of Wikimedia France, but I trust the Post Scriptum by Nadine was clear on the matter : "no other cryptocurrency donations project is planned". And yes, I believe that includes Foldingcoin. Personally, I'm fond of Folding@Home, I've even given more than my fair share

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Does anyone know what wikimedia france are up to with the Request Network ?

Hi Nadine, thank you for this update. Does the French Chapter have a position on replacing bitcoin mining with foldingcoin (http://foldingcoin.net)? I hope that all Wikimedians will oppose the wasteful consumption of electricity when useful alternatives exist. Best regards, Jim On Mon, May 28,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Does anyone know what wikimedia france are up to with the Request Network ?

Hi all, Update on the topic. Since Request Network were so slow and reluctant to change their delusive communication into a fair and clean information, Wikimédia France broke the agreement with them. Thus, this partnership is over. We deleted our blog post about it. And we keep on trying to

Hi all, First of all, thanks for reporting the issue. Impressive reactivity :) Then, sorry for the intempestive and unwelcome communication about this local partnership. The agreement is quite clear, it has been established by Wikimédia France (of course *not* in name of Wikimedia Foundation)

You surely saw the same dudes who sold anything as "Internet of things" a couple of years ago selling the same black boxes as "blockchain" now. I expect these black boxes to be labeled as "enhanced by artificial intelligence" by mid 2019 :D Vito 2018-04-27 20:05 GMT+02:00 David Gerard

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Does anyone know what wikimedia france are up to with the Request Network ?

We in Belgium received a mail with a question if we want to work together with a blockchain organisation. For us to develop that it is too much work, and we suggested them to contact WMF to develop a system we could easily adopt ourselves. It can be interesting to use blockchain technology in our

While the WMF accepts bitcoin this claim is definitely concerning "the Wikimedia Foundation reinforces its leading status by widely integrating blockchain technology on its platform" Have cc'ed Chuck from legal regarding potential trademark issues. James On Fri, Apr 27, 2018 at 8:23 AM,
