Supporting Hull City Council - Coindesk Article.
-
If you think back to earlier this year you’ll remember that Hull City Council came to our January meet up as they wanted to find out more about Feathercoin and what we were all about, they had already done a lot of research and we were quite impressed with their knowledge of crypto currency.
Several emails followed and Chrisj, Chris from The Oxford Blue and myself attended one of their local forum meet ups in early March.
Hull City Council’s aim is to mine crypto currency and distribute it to people living in financial poverty.
I’m proud that they have made Feathercoin as one of their choices of crypto currency they wish to use, I am their first line of contact for this on the Feathercoin end.
I hope we can all support Hull in making change for people in need.

Wow that’s great work. I’d don’t realise the hull meetings were as far ahead.

The story is in The Telegraph too.

It turns out the story in the telegraph is actually David Gilson’s story from CoinDesk.

Does anyone know any specific information this 50:50 split between FTC and something else? Does Hullcoin exist in its own right? Or is this still to be announced?

This is the sort of project we should have been giving bounties for. FTC participated in the Hull coin initiative, major milestone in main streaming “alternate” usages of the blockchain technology. In this case to distribute additional resources “locally”…
Extra kudo for Ruthie for all her work on that project :) …

Wow this sounds like a good project and usage for feathercoin.
Good work guys!I was once in Hull, for a few minutes but in my short trip to UK it was the longest time spent in town.
