To create an online community with Cyclos in order to create a Lets network with a community currency, you need to fill out the form found here: https://communities.cyclos.org/register/app/form

First you enter a "Network Name", this will be the name of your Lets network, e.g. "City of transition Rome". Then you enter your network URL, which will be the URL of your network's website. For example: when you enter "roma" your "URL" will be "https://communities.cyclos.org/roma". Next enter the name of your currency (e.g. "Units") and the symbol of your currency (e.g. "IU") and choose whether you want to display the currency symbol after the amount (e.g. "100 IU") or before (e.g. "IU 100").

Finally select the type of credit issue. When you select "Negative Account Limit", each account will start with a zero balance, but the account can become negative up to the amount specified in the "Negative Account Limit" (also known as mutual credit). When you select "Initial Credit" each new user will receive an automatic payment from the system's debit account. The amount of this payment can be specified in the "Initial credit" field.

Note 1:The community configuration cannot be changed after its creation. Initial data such as account names and payment types will be created in the language you chose and cannot be changed later.

Note 2: The credit limit can be changed per user and a manual initial credit payment can be made (from the system debit account).

Enter your network administrator username. The administrator can use this username to log in to Cyclos. The password will be sent to you after validating your email.
