We are a village interested in all topics Cryptocurrencies (mostly Bitcoin)
The village developed out of the Bitcoin Sofa (Chaos Communication Camp 2011) and was known as the Bitcoin-Village at last camp. This year at camp the lightning network will be one of our main topics to focus on and how we can build an open and sovereign payment infrastructure on that. Because a look into the HTTP specifications still tells us:
HTTP Status Code "402 Payment Required" --> Reserved for future use
The original intention was that this code might be used as part of some form of digital cash or micropayment scheme .. lets experiment, exchange on any ideas into that to be determined future ... because if we leave this to facebooks coin the error 402 could quickly turn into error 404: Your freedom of transaction was not found more private data needed.
Everybody is Welcome
- If you have other ideas to the 402 topic, please feel free to exchange or even join our village with your tent.
- If you have critique on Bitcoin (e.g. the energy consumption) we like to discuss openly and will even give you the microphone.
- If you see other great solutions that can be built on a blockchain like system get together on a drink - but please don't pitch us your startup or ICO.
