Hi Nadine, thank you for this update.
Does the French Chapter have a position on replacing bitcoin mining
with foldingcoin (
http://foldingcoin.net)? I hope that all Wikimedians
will oppose the wasteful consumption of electricity when useful
alternatives exist.
The French Chapter does not use any crypto money at all right now.
Best,
Sylvain
Best regards,
Jim

Hi all,
Update on the topic.
Since Request Network were so slow and reluctant to change their delusive
communication into a fair and clean information, Wikimédia France broke
the
agreement with them. Thus, this partnership is
over.
We deleted our blog post about it. And we keep on trying to obtain the
same
from Request Network (who are turning a deaf ear
until now).
Once again, sorry for the noise and thanks for alerting us,
Nadine Le Lirzin

*Post-scriptum:* no other cryptocurrency donations project is planned ^^'
