Faircoin in brief:
Unlike Bitcoin, it is designed as a
cryptocurrency for the Social Good.
With FairCoin version 2 we create
block chain-based software that is fair,
secure, resources-saving
and decentralised. It is based on
Cooperation (POC not POW) and not
on competition, which creates
better efficiency.
