Duniter is an open source software which distributes a basic income based on the relative theory of money.

The interesting innovations brought by the Duniter team are, among others :

A tool to draw relationship between participants, a Web of Trust, to prevent sybill attack.
A high percentage of inflation to circulate the money.
A relative basic income according to the relative theory of money, to give every body the same share of the money, whenever you join the project.

The tool to draw the relationship between the participant ( a Web of Trust) is included in the Sakia wallet, freely available on Github.

If you want to test the 2 others innovations, and receive the Ğ1 basic income, you have to ask for certifications on the Duniter forum.

The VIVAcoin ICO has started yesterday, starting a new area in the development of the project.
The lead of the project is taken by a group of humans called the Crown holders. But how do Crown holders reach consensus ?

This discussion may sound familiar to steemians. Do you favorize heavy investors or do you give one voice for each share holder ?

The one person, one voice is a specificity of cooperatives which have been flourishing in the beginning of the 20 th century. The system is reinvigorating today. For example I own a share of Enercoop, a cooperative which is provinding its clients with 100 % renewable energy.

Innovative projects are very interesting to follow and I recommand to participate to the VIVAcoin project, as Crown holder , a mint or a worker.

At the beginning, the founders have all the rights, then the users and the investors make pression on the founders to go in a direction which may not be the one the founder have imagined, first. For example, @dan leaved Steemit after only one year only of online development.

Today nobody can predict how Steemit or VIVAcoin will evolve.
Cgeek the founder of duniter is refusing investor coming aboard to be able to finalize his open source project. He is only accepting crowd fund volunteer subsidies.This is another choice.

Me : « Bot, what is the best way to get reach consensus »
Bot : « You humans are not made to reach consensus, but don't worry we will take care of the sytem »
Me : « William told me it will be safe, even if I don't know how it works »
Bot : « I know, in 2017, people where still thinking that a majority of individuals could take a good decision »
