Today we are expecting guests from IGDE Global.

All are welcome. The hangout will be open for several, 3 at least, hours. Please feel welcome to stop by when convenient.

See you there! If not, and I can't tell you in person, have a great weekend!

This is not a self-moderated thread. I cannot delete other's posts. Which, in regards to transparency and accountability, is preferred.

People can make any post, comment, and even critique or criticize without my ability to delete and squash their opinion from being read by others. Rather I must, and always will, field all posts it in a respectful, professional, and honest manner. True, I can report posts to the moderators just like anyone else can. However; out of respect for the moderators' time, I only reserve that for blatant spam and community members usually report those posts just as fast as I.

Yes, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2057319.msg42881843#msg42881843

While some skills are occasionally outsourced when needed, for the most part, everyone contributing does so voluntarily.

You're welcome.

We have no advisors per se, only community. Of which many are early backers, yes.

We do have legal counsel on retainer for their legal advice and representation when needed. Formation of the incorporation was done under guidance of an advisor with expertise in public charities.

We have partnered with Increased Economic Opportunities, Inc. previously and are in the process of building a partnership with IGDE Global, but that is in its very early stages.

We are not actively seeking partnerships with anyone, though we would be open to discussions.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the continued support!

Here is the link to today's meeting, https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/l7stuxsbwfa3fd3hwo2wqoe4gqe

All are welcome. It will be open for a few hours. Please feel free to drop by at your convenience.

See you there!

The water well in India has been paid for as of today, August 24th, 2018.

Thank you so very much for the continued support that is enabling EverGreenCoin to do these amazing efforts and bring good, beyond just financial gains for some, to the cryptocurrency industry.

I look very much forward to our next endeavors!

I am pleased to announce, The EverGreenCoin Foundation, Inc. has been approved for charity status by PayPal and we are now enrolled in PayPal Giving Fund.

PayPal Giving Fund is a very large platform, connecting us to 100+ million potential donors and sets of eyes! By being enrolled in PayPal Giving Fund we are automatically added to other sites as a charity such as eBay for Charity, Givey, StubbHub, GoFundMe, Zakatify, and Humble Bundle.

Using funds donated via these methods will help to ensure EverGreenCoin can continue to do great things for our environment and world. All while increasing exposure of EverGreenCoin and in a very favorable light!

Any funds collected from donations will always be disclosed, as will any use of them. Use of any donated funds would always be presented to the community prior. Policies are being enacted for this procedure. The foundation does now, once again thanks to jp morgan's inexplicable account closure, have its own business banking account. This will help in separating the foundation's finances from my own and was prerequisite to application for PayPal Giving Fund's platform.

Please do not forget to mention EverGreenCoin as a charitable option for the mentioned sites to your friends and family that may frequent them! Thank you for the continued support!

Yes. At the same price level, Nepal and Pakistan are options we can pursue in the future also. Sir Lanka was added as an option when paying with British pounds, but not yet as an option for when paying with US dollars. To avoid conversion fees, paying with US dollars is optimal and preferred, but is not a requirement. But we certainly will explore all options in the future for additional wells.

In regards to the 2nd water well, myself and other community members in our Discord have been discussing having this 2nd well built in India, rather than Bangladesh.  

The reasons being:

• Cost - The cost is the same.
• Repetition - We already paid for building one well in Bangladesh. We should spread the love. This would also give us a new pushpin location on our wiki project map.  
• Community presence - We do have community members in India. Long-standing community members will remember the hardships they experienced at the hand of a pump and dumper countrymen of theirs. Some to the tune of many, many thousands of dollars. I do feel this would be a good gesture to those community members.  
• Timeline - As you may remember, we did experience longer than expected turnaround for completion of the 1st well in Bangladesh. I did ask a Penny Appeal representative and they did say to expect those same delays again in Bangladesh. "We are having issues with Bangladesh at the moment so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend anyone to donate a water well there...", I was told earlier today. I was advised these delays would not be present with a well in India.

For the reasons listed above, I suggest we build the 2nd water well in India. The resounding response in Discord was, "Location does not matter much. As long as we were helping those in need."

If no one has any objections to this, we will pay for the well in India this week. Please feel free to express any opinion.

Thank you for the continued support that has made this possible.

Absolutely to the treetop! 

Absolutely. 


To the treetop! =)

All are welcome. We are expecting attendees from Kakuma today. I may try to record segments and/or capture screenshots. This is only to record the interaction with refugees and I certainly would stop recording / capturing at request and make it clearly known when I am recording / capturing. Any recording / capturing will not be published in entirety, but I may cut / splice selected sections for promotional purpose of our support and aid to refugees. 

See you there!

This is the true profits we seek. That is not to say 'profit' profits are not part of the equation.


EverGreenCoin is a community-driven project. Whenever there is sufficient community interest, expertise, demand, and / or willingness to contribute, we certainly would be happy to grow in that direction also. We are small and must be careful not to spread ourselves too thin, but as we grow in hands and minds we certainly have and will expand into new areas of focus. Those new areas would have the resources and support of existing areas of focus and fundraising mechanisms like crowdfunds and Staking for Charity. All with the 'instant' exposure to the preexisting, generous, and like-minded community.

Community members that have interest or expertise in areas are invited to make that known, if even privately and via any preferred method. This way we can know if and how much support, knowledge, and willingness may exist for a potentially new and to-be-emerging area of focus. (aka 'A Branch of EverGreenCoin')

Thank you!

If you consider the refusal for a dock time and acceptance of deliver by a food bank as me "backing out", yes. There was no multiple times as this was aimed to be done when I would be nearby in Michigan attending a funeral and could take pictures to use for promotion. This is documented.


I have never mocked Mike DeCarlo nor any community member. The last time I spoke to him was in effort to learn if you were ok after I could not track you down and you refused to answer or return phone calls and emails. He told me he had not heard from you also. I assumed you may have gone off the grid completely or even worse. This was relayed to the community at that time.


This would be called misappropriation of funds, Bow. The Google Ads were paid for with the Google Ads money and during the holiday season. This was prior to you leaving and is documented.


Again, if you can remember, we were refused a dock time. I could not organize a dock time they would not give me. They suggested we "just send the money" but it would not be used for water. We declined to do so. You were present for this decision making. This is also documented.


I nor the foundation never touched the money in question and trusted the treasurer. Myself, the current treasurer, and knowledgeable community members are working on policies to prevent similar mishaps.

Myself and many in the community are glad to hear you're alive, Bow. We were conserned and I have gone through lengths to contact you to no avail.

No jabs, only facts that I am under the legal obligation to disclose.

If you remember, we agreed to wait for the 1st well to come to fruition before spending on the 2nd. Those funds are reserved and will be dispersed in this fiscal year as planned and intended. You and Mike DeCarlo were not the only funders, but the largest, yes.

It has been a turbulent year and for many reasons other than your departure. But all EverGreenCoin's courses and plans do persist, as mentioned in the post you partially quoted. That was the sentiment of that statement.

You have or did have the the money reserved for Flint when you abruptly left. Not I. I do not deny other hurdles and setbacks but, my statement is correct. The foundation is accountable for those expectations and explaination for the absent funding. No one ever denied you were a tremendous asset to EverGreenCoin, but you are incorrect to say you abandoned without funding. You in fact did, but that does not offset your many contributions and I do not aim to diminish them at all.

As a public charity, I would be libel for not publishing it. I must not only publish it, but make reasonable effort to contact donors effected. I do so now only to fulfill my legal obligations. Regular attendees of meetings and long-standing community members in Discord know I have prolonged out of respect to you and hopes of your return. They also know my legal obligation. I accept no fault in doing my responsibility to move EverGreenCoin forward and maintain accountability.

I apologize if my delivery of this information was not perfect. Bow, please do not misinterprete my intent and you are always very well-respected by myself and the community. You have always been welcome to return, but ignoring my phone calls and voicemails tells me you decline.

I hope you and yours are well.
