Great campaign! I recently wondered why Poloniex has not yet added Emercoin after a lot of coins have been delisted because of low volumes and software problems. I have already participated and posed my coin add request text in the Slack channel as described in your post. I hope that Emercoin is finally added to Polo and that I am perhaps among the top 15  Thanks for the input tyz! You are the only one who has posted their submission in the #campaigns channel so far  Why is Emercoin trying really hard to get on poloniex? Bittrex is good enough.
Community members have been asking for it for years. I agree there are plenty of markets already in existence for Emercoin but it came to the point of, why not? Worst case scenario Poloniex will reject EMC changing nothing. Best case, EMC gets listed. If the listing process was based solely on the merits of the coin/project Emercoin would have been listed years ago. Now it's time to try to make a little noise. |

Hello everyone, Phase 2 of the push to Poloniex has begun. This is a chance to score yourself some serious free EMC! Please read the instructions below carefully: The top 15 most detailed/unique descriptions under the field "Please explain why you would like to see this coin added to the exchange." will win 30 EMC per person!1) Go to https://poloniex.com/coinRequest and complete the form in its entirety (complete all fields) - The field that may win you some EMC is "Please explain why you would like to see this coin added to the exchange." When completing this field please be as descriptive and unique as possible. Don't forget to submit the form to Poloniex when complete! 2) Sign up for the Official Emercoin Slack using this link: https://emercoin-slack-invite.herokuapp.com/3) On our slack channel go to the #campaigns channel, copy and paste your description of "Please explain why you would like to see this coin added to the exchange" that you used when submitting the Poloniex coin request form. Include your EMC address as the end of the description you paste in the #campaigns channel. Do NOT post anything else in the #campaigns channel. Submissions will be judged at a date TBD in the near future. Please do NOT submit your coin request more than once per person to Poloniex. Now let's get moving and let Poloniex know why YOU believe Emercoin is great and should be a part of their exchange  |

Anyone who retweets this status here: https://twitter.com/EmerCoin_EMC/status/856219736568463360 and emails Chris@emercoin.com including a link to their tweet and their EMC address will receive 1 free EMC! This will be limited to the first 250 retweets and expanded/modified if the campaign draws enough attention. Also be sure to follow @Emercoin_EMC on Twitter as well as Poloniex. Now let's get Emercoin on Poloniex! i did it and emailed but got nothing (2 days ago)  Payouts will happen every Saturday. I should have mentioned that earlier. So you can expect it later today/tomorrow. |

What are the results of the development of the external release? Please talk about the next major development focus! Thank you very much, I am a rising follower
This question will be answered shortly. Keep an eye out for more information  |

I thought the "not a super detailed response" explanation by craslovell was excellent Merge mining allows Bitcoin miners to simultaneously mine Emercoin with their mining equipment. So a 51% attacker now needs to control 51% of much larger hashing power, whereas before they would only need to control 51% of the hashing power that had been dedicated only to Emercoin. And on top of it, an attacker also needs to own a huge amount of emc, due to Proof-of-Stake. So, the combination of Proof-of-Stake with merged mined PoW should make EMC blockchain very difficult to reverse with the conventional 51% type of blockchain attacks. I like how it builds up in regards to security. Blockchain technologies are secure by design, but "secure" should develop with the technological development. I think, EMC is ahead of the current situation. That is why it could explode to the moon when environment gets mature enough to adapt it. The technology is already here on the Emer blockchain. Now with a little luck perhaps Poloniex will consider the addition of an EMC/BTC market after their announcement of 17 other coin markets being dropped. This is something fans/users of Emercoin have been requesting for a long time. It is not a necessity since there are several other reliable exchanges to trade Emercoin however I'm sure it would be warmly received by the public. |

Prior to launching the merged mining, 51% attack was impossible due to the peculiarities of PoS & Pow. But now, we can take the next steps for real decentralization, getting rid of some hereditary features of Peercoin.
Hi Fixx or any forum member, What makes a 51% attack impossible due to the peculiarities of PoS & Pow? How does PoS & PoW hybridity protect the network from a 51% attack. Could you explain in detail the peculiarities of PoS & PoW that makes a 51% attack impossible? Best regards! This is not a super detailed response but with PoW and PoS working in tandem it would essentially take someone having a minimum of both 51% of the network hashpower and at least 51% of the total coin supply in their posession. This makes a 51% attack on Emercoin a self destructive move by the attacker since they would simultaneously be damaging the network and devaluing their own massive coin holdings. In summary technically it was possible before merged mining but it would have been a fruitless move that required spending a large sum of money to perform. Only someone with several millions dollars to waste and a serious grudge against the Emer blockchain would have had the means to do it. |

PoW difficulty is now a lofty 105,000,000,000  |

I have included this very nice EmerCoin platform in my scientific research. I like the communication about EmerCoin. It is like, it has the solutions for the most important questions of the world that blockchain technologies in general have to stand up to if they would like expand.
You're absolutely correct. Now we need more people to realize just how useful Emercoin can be! |

Emercoin PoW difficulty has exceeded 53,000,000,000 with a network hashrate of over 425PH/s!
Yeah ... its making it rather difficult to find blocks :/ I see that, we aren't having any luck with BTC on the pool either  |
