Volunteers are needed - please consider [[Volunteering]], perhaps becoming a board member participating in a future design charrette, or helping with some aspect of the project such as creating documentation or writing code. Financial contributions are always deeply appreciated via [Buy Me Coffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/windoverwater) to cover current [[Budget Roadmap & Timeline|expenses]] until a future GoFundMe campaign can be initiated. ### How to read/explore this website The FACstamp documentation (this website) is hosted via an Obsidian server with both documentation and code developed using GitHub. If you are unfamiliar with either, just ignore this. Optionally one can see [[Using Obsidian]] and [[Using Git & GitHub]] if interested. ### What is FACstamp? FACstamp is a project to help support trustable, non duplicitous human communication: - Technically, FACstamp is a set of software applications leveraging cryptographic and public ledger technologies providing highly secure digital identity and content management - Legally, FACstamp is a set of software agreements dealing with the creation, publication, and follow-up communication and verification regarding digital multi media and content - Usage wise, FACstamp supports an [Expressed Warranty](https://peoples-law.org/warranties#expresswarranties) of Fitness-for-Use that end users or applications can use to inspect Fitness-for-Use compliance of digital content that has been cryptographically stamped and signed with a FACstamp - There are potentially significant [[Market Analysis|new markets]] that FACstamp adoption will create as it solves an impressive list of [[Problems and Solutions|fundamental usage issues]] currently plaguing the Internet See the [What is FACstamp?](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ntCFRPgfZhdFjXoyJKOvZfSz-0Ic0FO2rrKoWm7-wuQ/edit?usp=sharing) presentation for a summary of 'What is FACstamp?'. ### Why FACstamp? With the accelerating use of the Internet, the ability to discern accurate information delivered with virtuous intention has become difficult, time consuming, and an increasing insurmountable challenge. A true democracy, one that is not a democracy in name only, requires the electorate to be accurately informed (accurate information) without associated duplicitous logic, rationalizations, and/or rhetoric (non virtuous manipulation and bamboozlement). The electorate should be discerning with both individual and cultural biases. FACstamp is a project aimed at addressing this basic difficulty. See the [Why FACstamp?](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sz3LdS9dzUrgo_tjs2UQpdySK1FTu_T7J79z5pK4CQk/edit?usp=sharing) presentation for a summary of 'Why FACstamp?' ### What is the FACstamp Expressed Warranty of Fitness of Use? A key aspect of FACstamp concerns the [[Express Warranty of Fitness-For-Use]] that is managed by the various FACstamp license and usage agreements. When digital content is stamped with a FACstamp, consumers of that content have access to the [[Express Warranty of Fitness-For-Use]]. This FACstamp merchantability is defined by two primary requirements, the first [[Requirement 1]] is a historical accuracy clause and the second [[Requirement 2]] is a virtuous and duplicity free delivery clause. See [[FACstamp Deeper Dive]] for more details. ### Also See [[FACstamp Pitch]] [[FACstamp Introduction]]
