Idea presented during the FAB10 in Barcelona, to see how we could use an alternative currency in the fablab network.
Tommaso Spagnoli - Stuart Gannes - Pietro Dioni
2. Imagine
- You are a creative person and would like to use the
machines in a Fablab for your project but you do not
have the money.
- You are a local government which wants to support
the learning and use of digital fabrication tools in
your community
- etc
3. Idea… Fabcoin/token
- A currency that can be used to pay for time, advice, or
classes in a Fab Lab. Fabcoins/tokens have stored value.
- Fabcoins/tokens can be issued by Fab Labs.
- Fabcoin/tokens can be earned if you provide services for the
local Fablab.
-Fabcoins/tokens can be purchased and exchanged – by
individuals or donors for real currency. For example one coin
= 10 Euro
4. Questions: The future?
- Is it safe and secure? How?
- Is there a way to use the Fabcoin/token in
the Fablab Network, how? (help)
- Will this be useful for fundraising?
