With the aim of promoting FairCoin Week, FairCoop has allocated a budget of 40,000 FAIR to invite anyone to have a fairtrade drink or meal and pay with FairCoin.
That’s it! 🙂 We will distribute 40 FairCoins to anyone who wants to participate in this action from anywhere in the world. We want to reach a thousand participants using FairCoin.
To participate in this collective action, you‘ll need to find somewhere in the town or city where you are going to be between 24 and 31 July, that accepts FairCoin.
It is important that you help to spread awareness of FairCoin Week by raising awareness of the proposal to a bar or shop that you trust, and encourage them to to accept this fair cryptocurrency.
You may feel now all this is almost symbolic, but it could soon become a globally accepted monetary system that allows us to share in economic solidarity and social justice. Now you can contribute to this next step!

** So, about the 40 FairCoins… How does that work?**
1) First, download a FairCoin wallet
– If it’s to buy something in a physical shop we suggest you use the Android Wallet https://fair.to/androidwallet which you can use with your Android smartphone or tablet.
– If you want to use your FairCoins in the long term, we suggest you also download one of the pc/mac wallets:
* The official wallet, with it your computer contribute to the FairCoin network security https://fair-coin.org/#wallet
* The electrum wallet, faster and easy to use (https://electrum.fair-coin.org )
2) To request your 40 free FairCoins, complete this form where you provide your personal details and the FairCoin address you’ve taken from your wallet.
