Cyber Giftonomy

Gift economy

A gift economy is an economic system based on gift-giving, in which goods or services get exchanged with no expectation of remuneration, reciprocity, or quid pro quo. Cyber Giftonomy brings that concept to the 21st century with direct p2p interactions.

How does it work?

Submit the stuff you are giving away and post its coordinates. Anyone can pick it up anonymously without even meeting you up. Once someone collects it he/she clicks the button collected so that it's taken off the listing.

Installation

The app runs on the public IPFS network. In order to use it follow the steps below:

1. Install the official IPFS Desktop http://docs.ipfs.io/install/ipfs-desktop/
2. Install IPFS Companion http://docs.ipfs.io/install/ipfs-companion/
3. Install golang 1.17 or later version - https://go.dev/doc/install
4. Clone https://github.com/stateless-minds/kubo to your local machine

git clone https://github.com/stateless-minds/kubo.git

1. Follow the instructions here to open your config file: https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/docs/config.md. Usually it's ~/.ipfs/config on Linux. Add the following snippet to the HTTPHeaders:

  "API": {
    "HTTPHeaders": {
      "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": ["webui://-", "http://localhost:3000", "http://k51qzi5uqu5dlo973u7yudf1wby6bnznujbuf4mdanuyo4c70xepl5m8iqgeer.ipns.localhost:8080", "http://127.0.0.1:5001", "https://webui.ipfs.io"],
      "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": ["true"],
      "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": ["PUT", "POST"]
    }
  },

1. Build it and start the daemon:

cd kubo
make build
./cmd/ipfs/ipfs daemon --enable-pubsub-experiment

1. Navigate to Cyber Giftonomy
2. If you like the app consider pinning it to your local node so that you become a permanent host of it while you have IPFS daemon running
