Hi guys, The 1m = 1tree analogy is just a guide, this price in CARB will go down as the price goes up, and it is all a function of the underlying fiat cost of planting a tree. The point of the donations account is that is will be spent on measurable and quantifiable offset - that is, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Carboncoin in the wallet will be spent on directly taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, and as much as we can of it. We wont be releasing the funds out of the donation wallet at anything like current price levels, and in tranches of no more than 1M at a time, with each transfer being justified individually and accounted for here: http://coinstack.org/index.php?topic=92.0Any donors will have their names featured on the leaderboard there for being part of the solution. Every care will be taken to release the Carboncoin from the donations wallet to the market at a rate which does not disrupt the market in any way. At no point will the price be taken down 5 ticks for example. The more we have in the wallet in percentage terms the more of a case we have for getting support from environmentalists. I think 10% of holdings is a sensible option for people holding a % or more. I am suggesting anyone buying in between here and 10s keeps half and puts half in the fund. The reality of this is the value of this coin as a concept is a direct function of the percentage donated. Here's something interesting to discuss in addition to our future-offset forestry projects already in place: I have been having discussions with some very interesting people in conventional carbon offset, learning lots about the mechanics of the industry, and it turns out some of my fears about the channel were misguided. So, we can get a gold standard in offset for our coin before long and feature several verified sequestration related conventional offsetting projects on our books. I will come up with a BTC cost for our initial gold standard carbon neutrality certification, but it looks like it will just under 1BTC. Does everyone think this is a good idea? If so, we can start a fundraising for this BTC separately from the Carboncoin donations. Best, AM Sounds interesting, but right now I think we should focus our resources on promotion of the fund for CO2 offsetting. |

Why can't you just wait until the 17th to be paid by Stunna for the sig campaign? Also I'm pretty sure you have to have a larger sig than you have right now for the sig campaign...

If all of you gave 1m (preferably 5m), the 1% target would be reached and the coin can begin to move into the mainstream, which is what you want right? The infrastructure of this coin needs to grow, and a commitment to the coin and its carbon neutral aspirations needs to come from the mining community to make this coin a success, achieve our environmental goals and make your mining worthwhile.
Happy to donate but I have a couple of questions first. Can you explain what the fund will be used for? Will the fund be dumped at some point to fund fiat projects relating to this coin? That surely would not be beneficial for the price of Carboncoin. The ANN thread states that every 1M CARB, 0.015 BTC or 0.5 LTC donated to the fund will result in 1 tree being planted, which will grow for at least 100 years offsetting approximately 1000kg of Carbon Dioxide. The forum thread says this will happen once 1% of CARB (160m) reaches the fund, and that it will then slowly be dumped in increments of no more than 1m in order to raise awareness, keep the market stable, etc. |

So basically Grindabit is a GPT (Get Paid To) site for Bitcoin?
Yeah.. the only difference is that "they don't pay"I signed up, completed a offer, was not paid, asked the mods in the chat: bitbaby: I completed a offertoro offer but no gabs were added to my account? Apr 11 2014, 10:42 AM tspacepilot: bitbaby i guess chazley says it can be a 50-50 chance whether they give the points. Apr 11 2014, 10:43 AM bitbaby: chance? Apr 11 2014, 10:43 AM nick6066: yeah 50/50 sounds about right Apr 11 2014, 10:43 AM Grindabit: and some offers take 24 hours to credit Apr 11 2014, 10:43 AM nick6066: depends on the offer/which wall for sure too Apr 11 2014, 10:44 AM Grindabit: also, if u take screenshots of the completeions and use the support option on the wall they usually credit u Apr 11 2014, 10:44 AM tspacepilot: good suggestion grindabit Apr 11 2014, 10:44 AM bitbaby: I took screenshots and my Gab shows I have completed the offer? Apr 11 2014, 10:45 AM Grindabit: are the points showing as pending in ur account? Apr 11 2014, 10:45 AM nick6066: yeah most are good... but WallADS still hasn't credited me for 2 offer worth over 10k GBS Apr 11 2014, 10:45 AM nick6066: But i sent plenty of proof so i think it justtakes a few days Apr 11 2014, 10:46 AM bitbaby: it shows no points earned Apr 11 2014, 10:51 AM chazley: 98 entries tonight guys Apr 11 2014, 10:51 AM moshbikes: woo Apr 11 2014, 10:51 AM bitbaby: well this was very nice first impression of the site for me Apr 11 2014, 10:53 AM moshbikes: drum roll please Apr 11 2014, 10:53 AM chazley: ok everybody, WE HAVE A WINNER! Apr 11 2014, 10:54 AM nick6066:  ?? Apr 11 2014, 10:54 AM moshbikes: woo nice Apr 11 2014, 10:54 AM tspacepilot: geez the suspense? Apr 11 2014, 10:54 AM chazley: CONGRATULATIONS TO... Apr 11 2014, 10:54 AM chazley: KWORROM!!! Apr 11 2014, 10:54 AM tspacepilot: kworrom! alright Apr 11 2014, 10:54 AM tspacepilot: by the way, how do you get entries into this drawing? Apr 11 2014, 10:54 AM moshbikes: damnit i had 54 enteries Apr 11 2014, 10:56 AM chazley: 1 entry per 100 gab points u earn every day tspace Apr 11 2014, 10:56 AM tspacepilot: i see Apr 11 2014, 10:56 AM tspacepilot: so i prolly had 1 or 2 entries Apr 11 2014, 10:57 AM moshbikes: i had 54 of the 98 xD Apr 11 2014, 10:58 AM chazley: it was more than 98 i mistyped, ended up being 140 Apr 11 2014, 10:59 AM kworrom: what in the world Apr 11 2014, 10:59 AM moshbikes: oh wow lol Apr 11 2014, 10:59 AM kworrom: didn't even know there was a lottery Apr 11 2014, 10:59 AM chazley: kworrom won with only 6 entries, grats bud Apr 11 2014, 10:59 AM kworrom: haha *Grindabit leaves the chat* Nothing mentioned after that. So.. my take is, go there, do the offers , you might get rewarded or you might not and you can cry in the chat or go cry in the support forum with the proofs and again you might get something or might not. You haven't ever used a GPT before I assume, that sounds like quite a normal experience on any GPT. The GPT is reliant on the offer providers to pay them, if for some reason (cookies invalid, offer done incorrectly, there are lots of variables) the offer doesn't credit and pay them they can't pay you. |

Exactly. If you are mining it actually makes more sense for you to donate at least a million CARB to the fund, as this will let Carboncoin gather more attention and raise the coin's price. |

Omg teach me how to memtingale!!! I want to be rich like you!!!  Im hoping this will help people AVOID martingaling not encourage it, still if you do, do so only with amounts you feel safe losing. martingaling can work, you wait for like 18-20 reds and then start betting, and again it's pure luck whatever you do. However your chance of winning the next spin will be exactly the same. |

'Its all premined (That how they need to be created and there is no way around it) and we simply sell it.'
Sorry but LMAO. This is the shittiest coin I've seen for a while, you do NOT need to create a coin with a 100% pre-mine and there are ways around it like letting other people actually mine? I doubt they even have a plan for miners because there will be no block reward. "We simply sell it"? Yep, just a quick job to make some cash. |

C'mon then, let's see how long it can last 'till the crash.

indeed + Im working on a script to auto ignore all the users on said list  Or one could simply exercise some self control and not click on ponzi threads in the first place. But apparently self control is not one of your strengths. Oh well, we'll be glad to be rid of the lot of you through your own self-censoring and then we can go back to discussing our ponzi sites. Win win. Please get this done asap. "We'll"? Lostshare, we've played this game much longer than you have and we know how it works. Ponzi's look good at first but with experience you will realize that most people hate them and just want to be rid of them. |

I think for a $100 gift card collateral the maximum you could ask for is a $60-80 loan. No-one will risk more than that, especially not $400.

As some of you will know I support all Bitcoin forums, and you should too - after all, decentralization is the theme of Bitcoin, no? So get over here too |

Thanks!  I appreciate all the BTC I can get. |

Posted on your giveaway - it's great to see new Bitcoin forums popping up, I fully support all of them!

On the day I requested a withdraw heartbleed was released. Same day account got locked. Support not answering after asking for details why.  Interesting - please keep us updated, preferably with screenshots. |

Hi Joseph
This loan is to regain my trust, please let me know your interest rate
My address: 13SHyKDR46Yng4V1M8ACo6Vmqz8TwPc8hy
Please read through my trust ratings, I have 5+ positive ratings but then a bullshit rating from a trustworthy member who wrote complete crap.
I want this loan so I can gain some trust and hopefully get back into positive ratings.
Loan amount: 0.01BTC-0.02BTC, your choice
Thanks!
do you really think you can get a loan with that nickname?.. Do you really think I care about your opinion? A nickname shouldn't effect anything...I liked that name so I chose it. Now I can't pick preferred usernames because I'll be judged whether I can get a micro loan or not by it? Great logic your have there. No, but your nickname and post history shows a definite history of gambling. People don't usually loan to gamblers. Not here to gamble Here to build trust Stated it already don't need to state it again. And as I have stated before, trust loans are also red flags in the eyes of most lenders. They will not increase your trust, they will most likely decrease it. You paid back $8, good for you, it doesn't mean anything. |

As I build trust I'll move to higher amounts and begin offering collateral!
This is a very big scam trend which stopped around late 2013, but it looks like TheGambler is trying to bring it back. - Please refrain from requesting unnecessary "confidence loans" (a loan you don't need, but want to take out simply to show you'll repay). This was an issue a year or so ago, where scammers would take out incrementally larger loans, pay maybe .1BTC in interest, then take off with a 1BTC loan. A history of so-called confidence loans inspire more hesitancy than confidence.
