Off the Chain! - ISCABBS Rocks!

For those of you who don't want to fuss with block chains and wallets applications, we now offer an off-chain ledger for I$CA Coin. See the Cryptocurrency> forum on ISCABBS for full details! (crossposted from Crypto>) Never let it be said that we aren't continually innovating in the I$CA Coin space! Now introducing: The ISCA COIN Off-chain ledger! https://iscabbs.rocks/off-the-chain.html Partially inspired by Faunus' sarcastic comments that crypto could be done better just using a spreadsheet, this off chain ledger offers you the ultimate in convenience. Should you choose to host your coins here, you no longer need to install a wallet app, keep track of your seed phrase, opt into the asset, or even keep track of anything. Instead, you keep track of your coin totals (and that of other participants in a fun dick waving competition) with the link above. When you want to transact, all you have to do is tell Tomte 'send so and so X number of iscacoins' and I'll adjust the totals accordingly. All coins involved will be escrowed in a special on-chain wallet, so you can remain confident in the stability of the underlying asset, and you can convert in and out of the off chain ledger whenever you so choose. Enjoy this new way to make using ISCA coin even easier!

If you don't, we'll give you some I$CACoin For the discussion of cyrptocurrency, blockchains, smart contracts, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), consensus protocols and all of the technology and irrational exuberance that supports make playing with cryptomoney and assets possible. Blockchain based browsers and websites (sometimes called Web 3.0) are on topic, but random other technologies also termed Web 3.0 probably have a better home on the BBS. Skeptics are welcome, but please don't derail every conversation. We know it is imaginary, let us have a bit of fun. This forum is also for the discussion and coordination of I$CACoin, the cryptocurrency created for the BBS and focused on rewarding the users of the BBS. Please see the FAQs section for more on how to get started with I$CACoin. Please DO * Keep it civil * Have fun * Reward good actors with sweet sweet I$CACoin Please Don't * Make personal attacks * Encourage illegal behaviour * Work to pump up or shill a specific asset for your own profit Frequently Asked Questions: What is I$CACoin? I$CACoin aka ISCACoin aka ISCABBS Coin aka ISCA aka I$CA aka ASA #383890416 is a crypto token built on the Algorand blockchain. It is intended to be a fun way to encourage users to support ISCABBS. It does not have any monetary value and is for entertainment purposes only. The Algorand blockchain is a proof of stake protocol and claims to be the 'greenest' blockchain. For our purposes the important part is that transactions are cheap (only .001 Algo per transaction) so it is quick and easy to send someone ISCACoin.

You do this by entering your wallet and tapping on the + sign next to Assets and search for 'ISCABBS Coin' or by its ASA number which is 383890416 6) Once you've opted in, let Tomte know and he'll send you 10,000 I$CA Coins to get you started :) How Do I opt into the I$CACoin asset again? 1) launch the pera wallet app 2) the first thing that comes up is the list of accounts (wallets) tap on the one you want (you probably only have one) to enter it. 3) once you're inside that account you should see a row that says 'Assets Manage +' tap on the plus sign to add an asset 4) this will bring up a screen where you can 'search assets ID or name' search for 'ISCABBS Coin' and when it shows up in the search results tap on it 5) this will bring up another screen that has a button that says 'opt-in' tap on that button, and then tap approve to add the asset How Do I Earn I$CACoin? Sysop: 10,000 I$CA per month FM: 1,000 I$CA per month per forum I won't be keeping track of these or automatically paying them out, however. Instead if you are interested in getting the reward in a qualifying month, Mail> me telling me you want it, and then I'll send it to you.

Greetings, earthlings. Yes I’m another recent bluebird migrant, still learning the ropes. (Ed Balls.) This really does remind me of early #iscabbs. It seems very loose and very cool. I’m a lurker and a reader, mainly:

#popculture
#news
#film
#tv
#books

The world is an amazing place.

In the early 90s, when I exhausted the handful of dial-up BBSes that were local to me in rural #Vermont, I somehow discovered a dial-up library system at a local college that ran #Gopher and #Telnet. From there I found Diku #MUD, perl #MUSH and #ISCABBS. These were my first online communities and I still know people I met in them. The web barely existed and most users were academics and hobbyists, not corporations.

#Mastodon reminds me of those times, before AOL and #dotcoms screwed it all up.
