Thanks!

Everyone, kindly retweet the above tweets. Thanks in advance for doing so!

EverGreenCoin v1.7.2 source has been pushed. v1.7.2 has support for the zap wallet txes (-zapwallettxes) argument to remove orphaned transactions from the wallet and also builds on the Dynamic Staking for Charity. No ETA on Windows and Mac builds as of this time but, Linux users can build from source now.

To the treetop!

Many thanks!

Hi Kyle,

The meeting was only James and I. We discussed the plans and progression for the first IEO install, slated for this month. Crippling winter weather has slowed some things and one contractor for some of the needed brackets is having delays. We have options for the brackets however. If the first contractor is unable to make them, we have a second lined up that can get them done with very little notice.

James and I discussed plans for Earth Day also. It would be nice if we grew the trees ourselves, but given the timing, that will not be an option for this year. Perhaps next year we will be able to grow and sell them ourselves. Even selling them via the marketplace with a portion (50%? 100% plus bounty?) refunded via the paid bounty when the purchaser provides pictures of the planting. But, given not all participants will live in the same region, this might not be feasible for all. This year, people will have to provide the tree they plant themselves. At this time, it sounds like $10 worth of EGC will be the bounty paid when people provide pictures. The same rules apply as last year, needing an EGC logo in the picture. The biggest difference in the rules will be limiting it to one bounty per person. We are aiming to have at least 1000 tress planted in the name of EGC this spring. These rules are not 'concrete' as of yet, but soon will be. Anyone with opinions, as always, are invited to share them.

The most exciting news, hands-down, is the partnering with Pi-Supply.com to deliver production of the EGC Solar Stakers. Mike and I are in daily communication with Pi-Supply. It is progressing quickly. Pi-Supply, as a Raspberry Pi supplier and distributor, has many resources. All of these resources are now at our disposal to deliver a finished product. As of now, I can tell you, it will be a Raspberry Pi Zero device married with Pi Juice components. It will be branded with the EGC logo on the case. The case will not be waterproof, but people could easily make it waterproof with some silicon or even some tape. A waterproof case is being developed but, that will wait for a future model. Pi-Supply.com is very eager to work with us, are very communicative, and we can not thank them enough for their expertise. They bring many advantages to the table. For example, Pi Zeros have a strict one-per-customer limit enforced by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. As a distributor, this becomes a non-issue. Mike's contributions are absolutely invaluable to this. If one person can be thanked, it should be him.

The school desk's for the refugee camp are halfway funded. The shirts are due to arrive soon. Those interested in the progression, please follow updates on https://evergreencoin.org/kakuma-refugee-camp-relief/

On to the bad news, it seems Bow would like to sever ties. Apparently he feels someone has insulted himself and his father. I of course observed no such thing or would have immediately put an end to it. No one will be insulting others or their contributions. People that do, and in-turn hold back people's progress, will be removed. People working largely as volunteer with little or no compensation does cause stress for many. To that all I can say is, not for long. Our financial outlook is changing rapidly. At any rate, at this time it does seem Bow would like to quit. Bow's contributions have been many. He has been a tremendous help and on many fronts. It is sad to see him leave when so much of our work is culminating. For that reason, the door remains and will remain open for him to return. I honestly suspect he may, but please allow me to address that on a personal level with those involved. If you can't keep it professional, keep it shut. If you don't understand delays, you most likely do not grasp the complexity or hurdles faced. No one will be allowed to hinder progress with personal attacks. I find it disgusting I even have to publicly say so, especially given the nature of the project.

2018 is going to be prosperous. From the looks of it, very prosperous! Thank you for the continued support.

I suggest checking your Internet connectivity and perhaps a reboot. Absolutely no problems here.

Thank you for sharing our concern, rather grave concern, for our environment and the world we live in.

Sorry if I misunderstand but, there are resources to help you gauge past success. We have some listed, https://evergreencoin.org/markets/market-analysis/

As with any investment, never risk more than you can afford and always make informed decisions. If you are new to investing or uncertain, start small.

You're welcome. I hope I have understood and answered your question.

It is not possible to have your wallet running, locked or unlocked, with your PC off, No. Of course not, you're correct in that.

You do not have to leave it on nor staking all year or all the time your computer is running, No. But it could sit in the background running all the time if you choose, yes. This way you are always synced and always helping the EverGreenCoin network.

It would be worth it, Yes. Depending on your balance. But so would staking once a month or less often.

Sorry if I miscommunicated any of the above.

Stake when it is convenient for you or stake all the time. Thank you for doing so, but the decision to "how often?", is yours. Your installments will adjust to gaps in time.

Hi HaeckiPeteng,

Thanks for sharing you excitement!

The 7% interest is annual, important to note. You only need to hold your EverGreenCoin in an unlocked and fully synced wallet, yes. Just like Peercoin, yes. "Mint" is synonymous with "stake". You do not need to have your PC on all the time, no. But do so at least once per month. More often will increase the frequency of installments towards your 7% annual, but they will be smaller in amount, always totaling 7% annual. Staking does help the network and that help is appreciated.

We have more information at https://evergreencoin.org/faq/ , should that be helpful.

Welcome to EverGreenCoin!

Here is the link to today's hangout, https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/lkj3rkbqg5gaxarop3jis46rlue

See you there!

Yes, you certainly can still earn PoS after encryption. But you do need to unlock the wallet to stake. You will not be staking by 'default' after encryption as soon as the software loads. Not until you unlock. You can unlock for staking only and still have protection of your OS being compromised. The password would be needed again to make any send transaction. Take note you do need to unlock for staking and spending for staking for charity to work, but the wallet now alerts you to that condition if you try.

No, you do not need to be running 24/7. At minimum, please stake for 12 hours every 30 days to be certain the 7% annual holds true. More often is recommended and would be needed for lower balances (sub 100 EGC) because 12 hours might not be enough. Anytime you are staking, you are helping the network to achieve more consistent block times. That is appreciated.

You're very welcome and thanks for staking your EverGreenCoin!!

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm!

Be sure to stake your EverGreenCoin. 7% is a generous reward, 'compensation' if you will, for helping to maintain the blockchain. In doing so you do help the EverGreenCoin network.

Of course, a big "Thank you!" to everyone staking already!

EDIT: An even bigger "Thank you!!" to everyone staking for charity!!

The project should easily be able to offset the absolute maximum of 7% annual inflation by increasing demand.

EDIT: Hello and you're welcome.

Most defiantly. I will have all that sorted soon. You will see it in your drop-down within 24 hours.

Thanks in advance! =)

EDIT (~2 hours later): EYmFGctK2vR5vLhXZtSezR6mP13QGKdSkN and it has been added to the staking for charity drop-down. Crowdfunding will follow soon.
EDIT 2: The crowdfund is live to facilitate contributions with other methods.

Good day EverGreenCoin community!

I have some great news to share! I have received confirmation we can put our skepticism to rest in regards to our Kenya relief efforts! Everything checks out legit!


This comes from an Executive Director at Solidarity & Advocacy with Vulnerable Individuals in Crisis (SAVIC) based in Washington, D.C.

I would like to offer this as proof the EGC Foundation goes through great lengths to spend any contributions wisely. This information was gathered before ever asking for a penny from the community. This and much other research went into verifying validity of claims. Let's be honest, who has not received a scam email from a refugee camp or similar? We all have.

I am so very excited to push that inherit skepticism to the side and move forward with this very honorable project and help some people that are in need! Very excited! Please do understand it took many hours of communications and research by both Bow and I to get to this point. I am so excited that was not lost time and our diligence paid off. Of course, raising funds for a scam could have been devastating to the community's trust that is greatly treasured.

I have been jotting progression notes at https://evergreencoin.org/kakuma-refugee-camp-relief/ and we have several videos posted. I apologize that it is not organized better. Now, time freed from researching and skepticism, we can move forward! The tshirts should arrive next week. We will move forward with our plans to raise the funding to employ refugee camp occupants building desks to be used by other refugee camp in their just-being-built learning center. This is very much subject to change but, I anticipate that funding target to be $600 to $1000. This comes from information gathered to seat 60 students, which was the requested number of desks by Lyama and Faulu Productions.

Have a nice day!

Many thanks for saying so! 

I almost forgot, welcome to EverGreenCoin!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the success and good news!

Thank you for sharing your excitement!

There technically is no maximum. Current supply is 13,484,343 which will never increase at a rate of 7% or more annually. Have a look: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/egc/#@inflation
