28832 * 150000 = approximately 4.324.800.000 or around 27% of total supply

Yes well it exists and it's actually happening so no problem. As I said happy to talk to anyone personally before any donation is made.

We currently have 37M Carboncoin in the donation wallet!

Thank you I really hope so! Have just come up with a slightly clever thing to do on Monday to get the message out there, and also a few small additions to the websites.

Keep an eye out here and on twitter

Ah @Maardein you have given me a good idea: Anyone who donates over 10BTC or equivalent can come and be shown round our first site in the UK by myself and some of the team.

It is not much more than an hour away from London. I am also happy to have a skype conversation with anyone thinking of donating any significant amount so you can be sure this is for real.

They dont want the site disclosed because they dont want people to feel like they can just turn up and visit, I assume. This will not be an issue with some subsequent sites, but I feel finding this one to get things started has been quite a significant achievement!

My apologies about the colourisation - that was an artistic touch done by one of the team - but does not affect the accuracy of the trees or the validity of the image. The bottom one (and the one originally posted in this thread) is pretty much as shot fyi.

Now, I am going to be slightly firm with you here regarding your suggestion (insult) that the trees have been planted too close together to be able to grow and not in straight lines.

Firstly, can you let me know what experience you have of professional forestry?

It is much better for trees to be planted not in straight lines, the spacing is the key thing. Heard of up and down ploughing? Primary school geography... Same principle just bigger.

These trees have been planted in accordance with the density guidelines of the Forestry Commission by a professional in the field (yes! ).

The second thing is, how on earth can you profess to know the spacing of the trees from a photograph taken near horizontally? You absolutely can't. The trees, which I was comfortably standing amongst and walking through, are all over one metre apart. Have you something against what we are trying to do here? Strikes me with this you are being a little too skeptical.

What is it in particular you are finding hard to believe? It's good to know so that I can address this as a matter of urgency.

As a side note I would be grateful for any suggestions you may have of material ideas for helping the environment and cleaning up the atmosphere and then perhaps we can look to getting those actioned

P.S. This is a relaunch and Carboncoin to date has been produced at a very low network hashrate because of the story behind it, which you can also read on the site. It is hoped that we can really do some good addressing the issue of the emissions caused by the whole industry. If we raise enough to complete this phase of the project, the second one opening up as previously mentioned involves more than 1M trees, in Wyoming, USA and there will be many more sites. The opportunity exists here to make the entire industry carbon neutral and I very much want to see, and make, it happen.

Thank you for your questions. The estate for the first planting does not wish me to disclose the location but I can confirm it is in Hampshire in the United Kingdom. We are in a rare position where we can plant trees which will be left to live for as long as they do on the site, without having to go to the expense of purchasing land and getting planning permission to do so, which would be both costly and time consuming.

When you say the image looks photoshopped what do you mean exactly? Having taken the photograph myself a fortnight ago I am eager to understand what you have spotted.

The price I have for planting a tree is in fiat money is the price in BTC and LTC give or take some small price fluctuations. Any donations in CARB will not be sold at current price levels. The discount is to stimulate purchase and trading of Carboncoin. Carboncoin is carbon neutral already because of the saplings you can see in the image. We would prefer to receive donations in Carboncoin.

I have other images and these are posted on the websites which I would thank you to take a look at.

I hope this goes some way to addressing your concerns and appreciate your interest.

Thank you! All we need is one decent sized donor to come along and offset the carbon footprint of their favourite cryptocurrency and then we should be off to the races. Just talking to a second site in the US where there is space for over a million trees!

If people could please post to the new thread so that we see some activity there that would be great!

Hi Steve, started a new better thread:

@revgreen I agree but sadly there have been a small number of very cynical pieces of #:£!* active on this coin from the start, in it for a quick few hundred dollars, and doing absolutely nothing to help.

It is fine though, let them keep selling low - they will run out.  When this coin gets to 100s and higher they are going to feel very sorry for themselves. Right now we have received 37 million CARB at the donation address, so it is not all bad. Our contribution to the environment is growing all the time.

@Zebedee obviously you should buy lower than 1 satoshi if you can, but if you do that to immediately put a sell order in a little bit higher then you do not deserve to be here.

Anyone selling those 2s is gonna regret it!

Please don't forget to donate to our conservation project at carboncoinforest.org

Yep ok Steve can you post a link? We might get away with it here but time will tell

Have amended the front page of this one!

I think we are going to need to post a new thread. Any comments before I do so?

Carboncoin’s role is to highlight and help solve the environmental damage caused by cryptocurrencies. We are passionate about reducing the carbon footprint of Crypto, and have founded The Carboncoin Trust which will deliver projects to help all other cryptocurrencies address their carbon footprints too.

Our flagship project is The Carboncoin Forest which aims to plant as many trees as we get funding for worldwide to offset the carbon dioxide emissions created through electronically “mining” cryptocurrencies. The Carboncoin Forest and subsequent projects from the Trust will accept donations in Carboncoin. These will be sold back to the market in responsible volumes to facilitate further investment and subsequently offsetting.

There are several services which need providing to this exciting new crypto environment. If you would like to get involved please do not hesitate to contact me directly or post below.

We need donations to infrastructure as well as to our environmental projects and there are several small tasks which need doing. Anyone assisting with tasks will have the name they choose added to the Honour Roll for all to see. Anyone donating over 0.1 BTC or 3 LTC or 5M CARB will be added to the Donor Leaderboard similarly.

Carboncoin Donation Address: LFsTe6yRk1TXuGGW6kKwG8L3N4pkx5b6Do

Bitcoin Donation Address: 1PdBzzv7xW7hYfeK9mbRASfsdx8ggrQPD5

Litecoin Donation Address: LXBpsTN2VkF161nfWgVBqX63AtUrwxYAA9

If you would like to help with a donation please post your TXID, your requested pseudonym, and the cryptocurrency you would whose footprint you would like to offset as a reply to this post. We will add the amount offset to the Cryptocurrency Offset Leaderboard, which will eventually contain estimates of the total carbon footprint of all the cryptocurrencies, and then ensure that all of the trees are planted in a fully audited and transparent way.

And will someone please compile the mac wallet already

Well I am going to just reply to this one changing the title and then see what happens. If it becomes a problem then we can always relaunch with a new thread at a later stage. This should serve to get the message out there v- the only thing i can change is the title of the post, everthing else can be amended

Yep, fair play Steve (glad you're still here!). Well I will post it in 5 and then any suggested improvements to it can be made as and when. The URL zebedee just leaked from twitter is correct, that is the new site. Let me know what you think.

AM

Hey guys, I have basically finished the text for the new site. I could definitely use some help with some elements of the websites and making this thread look good! Thank you @revgreen let's have a conversation!

Firstly do we think I should start a whole new thread or just reply to this one with a new title, and then update the first page as well? Which would be better in terms of S.E.O. ?

This is all getting rather real
