💡 The Farmerbot is a power-saving feature allowing ThreeFold Farmers to put nodes in their farm to sleep when they are not in use.

Open-source is about empowering individuals and communities to take control of their digital lives. Let's build a world where everyone has access to the tools they need to thrive.

💬 Join the Discussion About TF Grid 4.0 We have been working on the plan for TF Grid 4.0 and are now pleased to open up the conversation now with the community. Some highlights: TF Grid 4.0 brings forward an updated farming economic system, the long-discussed Regional Internet Model, as well as 3Bot – a feature familiar to those who have been around the project for a while. For those who would like to be a part of the discussion, we invite you to this group. Happy holidays to those celebrating. 🙏

ThreeFold is more than a company or a project. ThreeFold is a global movement consisting of like-minded individuals who share common values and a vision, united by our shared beliefs in decentralization, open source, peer-to-peer, equality and inclusion. Do you share these?

🤔 Wondering how to deploy a Full VM With SSH on the ThreeFold Grid? Mik created videos for how to easily do so via the ThreeFold Playground using Windows and both IPv4 and Planetary Network. There is also documentation about how to do so on both MAC and Linux 🧵

It's important to be mindful of our digital footprint and the information we share online. Let's protect our privacy and be cautious about who we trust with our data.

💡 Updated Tokenomics & Unvesting Locked TFT You may have heard rumblings about these topics recently so we wanted to confirm that 1. these days the team is working on updated tokenomics (to be shared with the community for feedback asap) and 2. very soon anyone who vested their tokens as part of the voluntary vesting program will be able to unlock them. Please find the details here.

Open-source is the future of innovation. By working together, we can create technology that is more secure, more reliable, and more accessible.

Our values define our actions. The ThreeFold Law states that any good you do will return to you 3x in this lifetime. By making our technology actionable, we energize a collective approach towards 1 mission: empowering humanity while regenerating our planet, in all authenticity.

The beauty of decentralization is that it allows for innovation to thrive outside of traditional structures. Let's unlock the potential of the decentralized world.

We must remember that technology is not always neutral. Let's use it in a way that promotes equity and fairness.

🗣 Public Board Proposal Story time! There was a particular incident where a user saw that their deployment wasn’t accessible and reported it on the telegram channel. The farmer was responsive, found out the 3node was down, and got it back up! So all ended relatively well. However, thinking long-term, how can we cater for such “problems” when there will be many more farmers and users on the ThreeFold Grid? Mik thought about this and came up with a solution! He proposed a new tool for farmers and users to communicate with each other in case of maintenance, network/deployment issues: a Public Board. Check out his forum post to learn more about the idea and share your own 2 cents to bring this initiative forward! Thanks to Mik for raising this issue!

The Internet was meant to be peer-to-peer. Inspired by the past, we’re building an Internet infrastructure how “the” Internet was originally intended to be. Are you excited about it? If so, retweet! 🔁

Peer-to-peer is the future of the internet. It's a more decentralized, secure, and efficient way of sharing information.

Any current or future technology – including blockchain, web3, and traditional web2 workloads – can run on the ThreeFold Grid. The grid is compatible with most open-source tools and protocols.

Open-source is not just for software, it's a mindset. It's about sharing knowledge, building together, and creating something bigger than ourselves.

If you believe in the value of a decentralized internet infrastructure, one which puts people back at the center while caring for the planet, there is room for you in ThreeFold. Together We Build!

Decentralization is not just a buzzword. It's a movement towards a more democratic and equitable world. Join the revolution!

Saving a maximum of energy has always been on our agenda. Now, with the rising bills of our farmers making it harder for them to keep on supporting the project, it became an even greater priority. Read more about it here:

📝 Tutorial: Deploy Nextcloud on the TF Grid In this demo, appropriately titled "Zero to Hero in 10 minutes," Weynand takes us through the steps of deploying a Nextcloud instance on top of the ThreeFold Grid, and tries to do the whole deployment in under ten minutes. This time, Weynand uses Terraform to first launch the Virtual Machine within which the Nextcloud instance will run, and then uses Docker to install Nextcloud. Please note it's also simple to launch a Virtual Machine using the ThreeFold Playground, which Weynand touches on. Also, shoutout to Teisie for providing the farm on top of which Weynand decided to do his demo. Nextcloud is an open source, self-hosted file sync & communication app platform.

The ThreeFold grid provides the largest decentralized P2P internet infrastructure out there. The idea is similar to the electricity grid. People consume electricity, and sometimes they provide electricity. It’s almost the same but with the internet.

⏰ Reminder of Today's Monthly Community Call In light of some recent discussions in the chat and the positive engagement in the past two brainstorms around DMCC, today's session will primarily be a brainstorm on how we as a collective can 1. attract new audiences and 2. make it easier for them to understand ThreeFold and take action. The call will take place at 17:00 CET (12:00 EDT) and the direct call link is here. Further details and RSVP here.

Open-source is the foundation of the digital world. It's what enables collaboration, transparency, and creativity in the tech industry.

🧠 TF DMCC (Grid Commercial Offerings) Brainstorm Update We had another great brainstorm with the community last week around ThreeFold DMCC and commercial offerings for the grid. Please find the call recording and notes below.
