Our users are issued Forestcoin (FC) Currency for using the Forestcoin App to document the planting of a tree. The planting is then assessed by other Forestcoin users and after receiving three Approval votes the Forestcoin crypto currency is minted and issued to the user.

Forestcoin is intended as being transactional crypto currency, and because every coin has been created by the planting of a tree, Forestcoin hopes to capture the hearts and minds of millions of people that are concerned about climate change, and to Appeal to businesses that want to promote their brand as one that supports tree planting by accepting FC as payment. Simply by choosing to pay for goods and services using FC (instead of credit card) consumers will be supporting tree planters around the world.

Businesses can use the Forestcoin merchant tools to accept FC and at point of sale immediately sell the FC for BTC or other crypto currencies, which they can then cash out to their bank. The merchant system includes foreign exchange integration so the business can enter an amount to receive in any of 168 different currencies (e.g. USD, EUR), then the paying customer scans the QR code to pay in FC, which is then received by the business and instantly sold so the business receives BTC or other crypto equivalent to the initial amount entered.

Our www.exchangeforest.com crypto currency exchange site allows Forestcoin users to trade Forestcoin for other crypto currencies. When you buy or sell FC in this App you are actually buying and selling on www.exchangeforest.com. You can log into www.exchangeforest.com directly using your Forestcoin email and password.
