SSB/Ğ1 tip

SSB/Ğ1 tip is a micro donation system, just like Flattr, except:

  • It runs on SSB instead of the centralized web
  • It uses a libre currency (Ğ1) instead of a private one

An SSB user sent you Ğ1? Here is how to claim it:

First, you need to get your Duniter secret key from your SSB secret key.

chmod +x secret2dunikey.sh
./secret2dunikey.sh

Then, all you need to do is connect to a Duniter client, like Cesium, using the generated ~/.ssb/secret.dunikey

On Cesium homescreen, click "Other methods" and choose "Keychain file" :

Cesium authentification

Then, browse your filesystem to select your Duniter secret key stored in ~/.ssb/secret.dunikey :

Cesium log with keychain file

You too want to send tips?

An other way to spend your Ğ1 is use it with this micro-donation system.

First, you have to install the necessary tools, like Silkaj, the Duniter client:

chmod +x install.sh tip.sh
./install.sh

(you only have to do this once)

Then, once every other week, you can use the tip.sh script :

./tip.sh

tip.sh will have a look at the posts you liked and will send from your Duniter account the corresponding amount (based on the number of times you liked a post) to the appropriate recipients.

It will also generate one or two markdown formatted files to help you thank publicly your fellow butts, and make them aware you sent them a tip 😉

Other ways to spend your Ğ1

The Ğ1 currency originated in called France, so the main part of the fun happens there.

The economy is still in its infancy, but you can already:

Curious about libre currencies?

Libre currencies are a concept that originated from the Relative Theory of Money.

It is a way to design a currency so that every human, whatever the generation they are part of, produces the same relative amount of money.

Unlinke the majority of currencies, where money creation is centralized (money is created by big private banks via credit), in a libre currency, money takes place everywhere.

!

The Relative Theory of Money was written by a French mathematician in 2010, and the first libre currency (Ğ1) was born in 2017. Up to this day, Ğ1 is the only libre currency we know of.

The main clients for Duniter are Cesium and Silkaj
