Thanks Steve, I am pretty confident can handle any argument he throws my way. We shall just have to see if he wants to come back and have a reasonable discussion or not. I can fully understand how frustrating a bubble of clones would be to someone around from the start, even moreso if he got scammed a couple of times, or worse if he bought a basket of alts and held them. Would make one pretty cynical before too long!

I really like this as an idea and we could easily adapt the theme on the website to reflect this - as there is a bit of a disconnection between the current coin and the project itself. Anyone else got any other suggestions/sketches/ideas? I think we could certainly put a new image to a vote in the next few days.

Like what you've done with the inverted diamond in the tree too! Clever!

Perhaps you'd find your messages were conveyed more efficiently if you used something other than punctuated fragments. There is no greenwashing going on here, there is a story backed by an enormous carbon offsetting project. Thanks for your interest though.

Do your research properly, there is no pretense. I am not responsible for the registration of that website either so maybe remove that information. Also maybe look at the original thread and try and find that developer if you are bored.

You will see that I was not responsible for making this a scrypt clone if you actually look into it.

Also I might add I am hoping to hard fork to a new sort of PoS, (a version of which I was planning to release before I got involved in this), once we have hit various sites such as marketcap and got onto some large switching mining pools - i feel it is important that we get that far before the switch though.

The other thing we are doing is quantifying the carbon footprints of all (as many as we can) other cryptocurrencies from the blockchains of those currencies using fair-to-conservative approximations, and THEN giving all of them a cost effective way in which they can start to repair the damage they have done. Raising awareness at the same time having a clear environmental conscience from the off. Rig miners are going to mine something, and that is a devil incarnated by people you probably wouldn't dream of being a prick to.

Are your development skills any more convincing than your manners because you are welcome to get in touch and help out, there are a few things in the project I am working on which could do with some coding prowess, that is if you are any more than a hobbyist... it is unclear.

Asking for donations firstly to plant trees, and then separately to get help with tasks, is not something I am going to apologise for. I was briefly tempted to spend my time trawling through all of your previous posts on this forum looking for some hint to your location to then broadcast it far and wide, but I didn't because I was suddenly bowled over by an enormous wave of indifference

Hope the above answers your questions. Also further to the above even if the Carbonchain becomes forked all coins mined before the fork are still safe - don't want to be worrying anyone. It's just the coins after the fork which will not all be valid. To reiterate - no forks yet.

Nope not just not likely, impossible. There has been no fork of the currency, it is still as it was when the dev released it (as a dev you have no control over your coin after release really) so nothing hostile at all and all coins mined are totally valid until we get a hard fork of the currency when I will have to push a new version of the client taking into account the fork with the highest hashrate, as is basically standard practice. CARB is still CARB as you know it, it is just we are doing something good with it.

(Please feel free to donate by the way - taking donations both for the carboncoin forest project and much needed bounties for other development - speaking of which we now have a mac wallet compiled which works up to osx 10.8 but not for 10.9 and beyond - still working on it). If you want to help out with any donations for websites etc please pm me, it makes things like better websites, android wallets etc happen MUCH faster. Otherwise the carboncoin forest project donation addresses are published above. Please PM me with transaction ID's to have names added to honour roll, donor leaderboard as appropriate. If anyone has any development experience at all and wants to help out please also get in touch.

As I have said if the old dev turns up then fantastic - I need help with lots of things! In that event he owes most of the premine promised for bounties, but at this stage i think the likelihood is that premine was released back into the market and we aren't going to hear from him. I hope I am proved wrong.

Thanks

Doesnt need to be a problem you just need to update the client to reference the correct (most powerful) fork and issue an upgrade. Look lively though 8k blocks is a lot of wastage.

Ha thanks Steve, Ning, Zeb etc I stand corrected. I was talking about specifically the planted trees though. In terms of conventional offset this is worth a small fortune. Hope everyone has an enjoyable Saturday night!

Thank you! Do you have to pay to be listed or is there another way?

Yeah thanks for this. If my response verges on rude at any point please excuse me, these accusations have actually got under my skin.

I am working full time at this to actually try to turn it into something, and someone fecklessly banding questions about whether or not the coin is still functional on the grounds that an exchange is having difficulties, is not something that I am prepared to entertain.

It is a quantum leap to jump from an exchange issue to a coin issue, and the community needed to be put right on what you had said while at the height of worrying about loss, which I am fully aware is a painful experience.

Well done for alerting people to the problems with our then only exchange, which were very public. You'd have thought anyone in the community wishing to access their account on cryptorush might have noticed that they couldn't log on. Our twitter campaign managed to get a new exchange very recently, thank you for all of your help with that.

You are now able to get back online on Cryptorush by the looks of things and remove your coins if you wish. You were responding to hype and in so doing damaging my work, and that of the rest of the community who actually contribute. I was completely within my rights to respond the way that I did, as you would be to defend yourself if you had acted with sense.

You will notice that lots of developers on this forum use pseudonyms, this is nothing new. This particular message is not supportive of my efforts in any way. You could have spent the time trying to achieve something material for the community. If I choose to remain anonymous here that is my business. You could be lying about your "real" name, just so you know.

I have had to handle some pretty massive objections and accusations on this thread (many of which have fallen silent once they realised the truth was on my side) since I launched with the carbon offsetting campaign (and was taken pretty close to giving up by these at times).

I reduced my holdings at Cryptorush because the exchange was in difficulty, I perceived risk and acted sensibly, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Incidentally I perceived no threat to carboncoin so left those pretty much as is.

What possible advantage do you think I could have gained by attempting to stop others from withdrawing their funds? At the time I posted "It is online?", it was online. If you interpret that as explicit advice to keep your funds there, and then accuse me of some ill-considered not-even-possible foul play for personal gain then frankly you should GFY (? - not really up on my acronyms), or failing that you might apologise. To think I was actually genuinely sympathetic about your possible loss...

Now with regards to your actual question: we are not double counting our carbon offset (claiming offset against more than one scheme at a time), which would be lying and not to mention bad for the environment, which my objective here is to try to help. The 2300 tress we have devoted to offsetting Carboncoin are devoted to that and nothing else, for that matter not one member of the community has actually expressed any gratitude for that investment.

We are not claiming carbon credits back for our own independent carbon offsetting project, we will be offering carbon offsetting as a service and having nothing to do with the existing channels, neither do we want any. I have no interest in contributing to the projects of the establishment, I am very happy to leave them to it and wish them every success.

The landowners get the trees planted on condition that the forestry is maintained as permanent, and we neither have to pay to purchase the land, nor for the planning already exists - a major advantage in terms of both time and money. I have disclosed the whereabouts of the site, I have disclosed the complete cost to planting of a sapling, including the necessary care they require and all things like grow tubes etc. This offsetting project is coming in significantly cheaper than other carbon offsetting schemes because, besides other things, there are no middlemen.

I am taking crypto donations all the proceeds of which will be going to planting saplings. Some forestry commissions will offer sponsorship to forestry projects, and every step will be taken to ensure that any such schemes directly enable us to plant more trees. I will be broadcasting how many trees we manage to plant with the funding far and wide - the higher this number the happier I will be. My immediate objective is planting enough trees to offset the whole of cryptocurrencies, after that any excess funds will be used to support other projects to directly help the planet and the atmosphere.

Transparency is my absolute goal as I have stated several times.

I am not trying to be the school teacher telling everyone what to do. However I have led, and am leading the efforts with this coin and if you want to help, great; if not, then you know what to do.

There are people actually participating in things like writing to exchanges and the like, there are people helping with websites, there are people retweeting things on twitter - this is adding material value to what we are doing. The only thing the above message has achieved is making me late for the first social engagement I have been able to attend for a substantial amount of time, because of working on Carboncoin of all things.

Sent email, please check out Carboncoin and look into listing us. Thank you kindly

Hi Steve and anyone else who wants to help please join me in contacting the owner of poloniex, busoni, either directly or on the poloniex thread to request that he add Carboncoin for the work we are doing to help the environment. Anyone wishing to go above and beyond the call of duty can also email poloniex@gmail.com, which is how they suggest you go about getting a coin listed, on their home page.

Anyone who can provide evidence of direct contact with them, via email, pm or otherwise will stand in good stead of being added to the honours roll.

Mac wallet compiled but w 2 errors. We are nearly ready to hit the mainstream!

Great stuff, added to thread! Welcome!

Hi Mark,

I am very sorry if you have suffered a BTC loss. I myself managed to most of my altcoins off there yesterday and today, and never held any BTC there. I dont think your CARB are in any danger.

I have had access intermittantly today, but now looks like they are upgrading so might be a while before they are back up again.

They have been being DDoS'd viciously for days now, the fuckers who are responsible dont realise they just hurt everyone in the community by doing this.

I hope you do not lose a lot.

Best

Don't quit your day job chief 

We have been tweeting at them for some time. Coinedup to the rescue!

Yes they have! For goodness sake don't stack up sell orders. If you think that is a good idea you need to take a long hard look at yourself

It is online? Of course nothing has happened to the coin itself. Do you understand how damaging it is having an open question such as this left here for any length of time? Perhaps worth contacting me with a private message for such questions in the future. The network and coin are fine. If anyone has a Mac and would like me to put their coins into storage in a separate wallet until we get a Mac wallet developed you are welcome to contact me for that too.

If anyone would like to get a secure online wallet service off the ground that would be a great idea for when we start going after publicity too.
