A complementary currency toolkit in Clojure
summary
A modular wallet toolkit called Freecoin written in Clojure offers an API, wallet UI, blockchain adapters (Bitcoin-derived and FairCoin proof-of-cooperation), database and in-memory backends, MongoDB/files storage, and a two-factor auth system (email now, SMS planned). It implements multi‑sig custody, offline vouchers, and a secret-sharing 5 splits quorum 3 scheme for key recovery. Pilots include a 300+ person artist collective using monthly basic income and a festival trial for 2,000 visitors; components are reusable and actively syncing on-chain.
