What about Faircoin, they seem like a good option as well:

You'll have to be a lot more specific, there are tens of thousands of crypto currencies out there.

What about Faircoin do you like?

What problems does it solve (that other cryptos don't)?

Why do you think it's a good fit for OSE?

According to this post on bitcointalk, the exchange rate of FairCoin to EUR is decided by committee: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702675.msg28217734#msg28217734

When exchange rates are decide by committee instead of market forces that's a huge RED flag to me.

What's the economic model of faircoin? Why is it called fair? Is it "fair" as in communism?

Would be useful if you could compare and contrast FairCoin vs. Duniter vs. Ethereum (w/ Casper consensus instead of PoW).

In my opinion FairCoin utterly fails to be fair because it rewards early adopters and punishes anyone who didn't get the early payouts (since no new coins are created and you have to be wage slave to get the previously created coins from the early fat cats). It's an unequal opportunity to create wealth, which Relative Theory of Money (implemented by Duniter) addresses: http://en.trm.creationmonetaire.info/solutions.html#b-optimisation-et-esperance-de-vie

Sorry for not being specific. I also didn't mean to act like I know much about cryptocurrencies. My main concern is just the mining electric cost. I have heard Etherium supports small scale GPU based Farms as opposed to Bitcoin's giant custom built mining farms, so that might be fine. You seem to know what you are doing, so I won't dive in with my limited knowledge here. Anyways thank you, and sorry if I came off in the wrong way.

My questions are sincere, I'm willing to learn. I could be wrong about my assessment of FairCoin (hence the questions). But I've also become a believer in the Relative Theory of Money. Few currencies out there take this into account. And you can't have a fair currency if you only reward early adopters (as just about every crypto currency does today) and punish the late comers. If we are to break the cycle of everyone creating their own crypto currency (in order to be an early adopter) we need to have a currency that is truly fair across generations. So that someone born today has the same opportunity to create wealth as someone born 100 years from now, this is the only way to have a stable currency that people will want to use. I'm my, sometimes not so humble, opinion.
