Changed to EGC solar staking to help out from the advertising crowdfund until solar staker fund reaches it's target.
Thanks for contributions to both! I am pleased and proud to see dynamic staking for charity being utilized more and more. Both funding targets are a bit 'on-going'. Community members are expressing interest in Twitter advertising, but that target has not been set as of yet. I honestly would want to at least stagger this with the Google Advertising. Both from administrative and budgeting perspective it will help. For the Solar Staker funding the target is ever-changing also. Reason being, we do not know the final costs it will take to bring plans to fruition and at many levels. For example, making custom cases for the Solar Staker's with the EGC logo. I mention that having touched on that subject today with the Raspberry Pi distributor we are in communication with. I am pleased to announce to the community, those communications are fluid and Pi-Supply.com is eager to cooperate, as are we! Details will of course be released as they unfold. I can tell you at this point we look to re-brand a Pi-Juice-style device, but no specs beyond that have been established as of this time. The re-branding with our logo will be costly, but many details need worked out before that cost can be established. Be it skill-sets, financial, or however, many thanks for all the many contributions and support! 2018 is looking better-and-better, day-by-day! Already! |

Hi EverGreenCoin community, A quick update, recapping events discussed at our previous meeting on the 30th and some that have unfolded since then. I was surprised 5 or 6 community members were able to hangout during the hustle and bustle of the holidays and thank those that did attend. - Kakuma Refugee Camp Relief - A community member did mention the lack of direct-connection with this effort and the environment. It is true this is more of a humanitarian effort that may pay in fold with some very good PR resulting, not a direct effort to the 'environment' specifically or directly. Though, 60k refugee camp occupants might disagree. We may have a chance to help some people in a very big way. That is not to say there is not skepticism, there is and I think we all feel it to a varying degree. Bow and I have been in fairly consistent communication with Lyama Amadi, the head of 'Faulu Productions' who is building this learning center. The refugee camp does have Catholic learning center already. Lyama feels they do not meet the needs of the camp's youth and wishes to build this one. A dozen (12) Tshirts were mailed to the camp, addressed to Lyama. We all will feel a little more at ease when we see the shirts in pictures. After that, we hope to launch a campaign to raise money to buy school desks. The desks will be made by other camp occupants, so if all goes as we hope it does, we will be helping refugees twice over.
- Raffles - The winners of the Tshirt and sticker were drawn. They will be mailed their prizes this week. Many thanks to all who purchased tickets.
- Google Adwords Ads - Just over 1 million impressions. 1,367 clicks. Interaction rate of 0.13%. Avg. 0.63$ / click. $861 invested thus far. Many, many thanks to the contributions that are making this possible. Please consider pitching in if you are in the position to do so and you agree it is money well invested.
- Spring tree plant / earth day celebrations - James (IEO) is being a tremendous help in planning, what we hope to be, a coordinated effort to plant 1000s of trees in 2018. GizFreak has agreed to make us a collage from 2017 pictures community members submitted. Of course we hope to use this for promotion to motivate an even bigger effort in 2018. Please keep us in mind for your spring planting! Bounties will be paid again this year. Many interesting ideas were brought up. One was selling saplings via the marketplace and 'rebating', if you will, a portion (50% maybe?) of the purchase price after planting event pictures were submitted. Taking it even a step further, another portion (25% maybe?) if 'proof of life' is submitted in 2019.
- Scheggelder Gaard Crowdfund - Gizzy Garden has been funded!!! Any community member that would like to do similar, please, do tell!
- EnergyBin.com - Did not happen. The refusal of the advertising did break the deal. Also, community members expressed they would rather see money applied towards the google advertising.
- IEO Solar Staker Installs - IEO aims to have the install completed before January 15th. An EGC Solar Staker will be installed. The install will have the advantage of being ran in a controlled environment of sorts and with a more robust energy supply. This install will actually be powered by wind turbine. The second install, shortly thereafter, will be a solar application. James is very active in the Discord. Please join us there for a closer pulse on these developments.
- Solar Staker Production - Saving the best for last and I am very excited to announce, communication has been opened with pi-supply.com, a Raspberry Pi distributor. They are very interested in our project and have been following us for some time. A bigger and better suited company, realizing the potential, would be a God-send to bringing the EGC Solar Staker to production level faster. I eagerly await the pass of the holiday for communications to continue, having stopped for the new year.
Ok, a very busy week ahead! I hope you all have a great one and a great start to 2018! |

... Gotta check if I am registered in a trade house that has them ...
Be warned, Do not use YoBit!They refused to upgrade long ago. They were contacted well in advance of a mandatory upgrade and still have never upgraded. They are knowingly selling fake EGC on an unsupported blockchain and collecting fees from unsuspecting users that will, apparently never, be able to remove them from their scammy exchange. They have done this same scam on many communities and continue to. YoBit should be boycotted by the crypto community as a whole. Please do not use them for anything. But you will not be able to buy EGC there. Even though they advertise it. tell me if the coins on YoBit are hopeless? I bought there EGC, how can I get them off the exchange? Or is it impossible? Sorry to say Alex, we are completely at their mercy to address their software. You will not be able to get them off YoBit unless they upgrade. It is impossible until then. Because they have had a ridiculously long time to upgrade, it is safe to assume and expect they never will. They have been contacted countless times, even offering to reconcile any discrepancy they may find after performing an audit. One can only deduce their motive for refusing for so long and not being communicative in any fashion. Even though it may seem futile at this point, please make a support ticket at YoBit. Thank you in advance for doing so. |

Many thanks to today's participants. We will get a summary posted or recorded for those that could not attend in the near future. Have a safe and happy New Year's, everyone! |

EverGreenCoin Advertising Crowdfund (Q4 2017)Every quarter the EverGreenCoin Foundation runs and advertising campaign. The Foundation runs ads with CoinMarketCap.com, Twitter, NewsBTC, Coin Telegraph, FaceBook, etc. We are also working with YouTube channels and commercial generators to bring new eyes and opportunities to EverGreenCoin. The more people involved with the community the more the coin will grow. EverGreenCoin strives to find new advertisers and promotion venues to grow the coin and community. Attracting the best and brightest people that care about the environment, will help us all grow with EverGreenCoin. https://evergreencoin.org/product/evergreencoin-advertising-crowdfund-q42017/ Great will put donation project in wallet again for this one! Happy bday! Many thanks for the advertising support! We have close to 100$ per day going out on google ads (added some keyword groups recently). 445k impressions and 577 clicks at the time of this writing. Interaction rate of %0.13 and a average cost of $0.71. I would be absolutely thrilled to get this crowdfund funded in 2017. Every bit of help is greatly appreciated as we look to explore new advertising in the start of 2018. Twitter, Facebook, and coinmarketcap being ones the community has expressed interest in recently. I fully understand 5k$ is a lot for most of us. I will account Frosty's, Bow's, and my (coupon included) recent contributions towards the crowdfund also in hopes of reaching the goal. I will adjust it to $3,350. Also, the foundation will buy any EGC donated (converting to the needed fiat or BTC accepted by advertisers) so they never touch any market. You could look at your EGC contribution as serving you twice: Once to help fund the advertising. Twice to increase the foundation's wallet, which is only used at the community's discretion. (Balance: ~265k EGC as of now.) But don't let that discourage anyone from donating by other means. Rest assured your contribution is being used in its entirety, wisely, and 100% as intended. 200% arguably.  I hope everyone is getting some time to spend with friends and family! Enjoy the holidays and have a nice week! |

It will be a privilege and an honor to help the Kakuma Refugee Camp. The holidays has presented an initial speed bump, despite mine and Bow's efforts. We do feel the help is needed urgently. As soon as the holidays pass and stores reopen, we will be moving this forward as fast as possible. Please watch https://evergreencoin.org/kakuma-refugee-camp-relief/ for details to be added soon and often. I received the IEO shirts from James today and I will be placing those and EGC tshirts in the mail to Kekuma ASAP. This holiday season, please be reminded how well we have it. I find it a duty to share that more equally with our fellow human beings. I only regret not acting sooner. Thanks so much for the support that makes it all, and will make much more, possible. |

Just wondering I started donating part of my stake to the EGC advertising crowdfund to help out. Any chance next wallet update stats could be added in the wallet similar to what we see in the explorer like total amount staked, date we started staking, amount donated to charity...etc
Would like to see how much I donated to charity to see if it's enough or to move the % up more.
Hi again smokim87, First, thanks for donating to the advertising crowdfund! That help is greatly appreciated. That is a very interesting idea and, yes, we certainly can look into adding it into a future release. That could be some very useful information, good idea. Related to both, we are looking to add both better crowdfund and better charity information on the website. I would like to present this information in a easier-to-digest manner for non-technical people, summarizing. Do expect this is the near future. It has been previously discussed and I apologize the time has not been found to do it yet. Thanks again for the suggestion! It has been recorded and documented in our Discord '#suggestions' channel. Thanks for taking the idea under consideration Also noticed the donations being sent from staking isn't much and the EGC crowdfund wallet doesn't have much. I've changed the % to a 100%. Donating 100% of my staking to the advertising fund indefinitely. Many thanks for the generosity! |

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, I was informed by energybin.com today that they can not allow us to advertise on their site. It seems the representative I was working with, Bill, was told by his management we could not. Bill's management felt this would be like advertising a bank (Walls Fargo was their example) to their customers and users on their energy component site.
I had spent a considerable amount of time explaining EverGreenCoin to Bill in prior days. At which time he did seem very receptive and I do think Bill is on our side. He did apologize for leading us to believe we would be able to advertise, but the decision was made by his management. Bill did say he would give us a free service directory listing. The service directory is a new feature, launched just weeks ago, that allegedly costs $1200 per year. Again, we are being asked to pay only $959. Because he mentioned a few months of free advertising previously, he did offer an additional 3 months, totaling 15 months.
I sincerely think we have been dealt a blow from FUD surrounding crypto in general. They are in for a half day tomorrow, not to return until Wednesday of next week. I will call and see if I can't talk to Bill's management and clear up any confusion. Yes the advertising was and is a big motivation for us to join. However; after much consideration, I do not think it alone should be a deal breaker. But yes, I will fight for it.
p.s. Community members that could not login earlier today, our evaluation account has been re-enabled until Saturday. You will now be able to login with the credentials I provided.
Sorry to hear that, was certainly worth trying - nothing ventured nothing gained as they say! Thanks starmman. I did call again today to push the issue. Bill did get off the phone with me to discuss it again with his management. I told them I would pay today if they would allowed it, hoping that might seal the deal and knowing the community would support that decision. Unfortunately, they did ultimately call me back to tell me they could not allow it. Their decision is not based on crypto FUD or distrust of EverGreenCoin, I stand corrected on that though I do sense crypto-uncertainty. It boils down to all of the advertising they do have is industry specific and they feel advertising something outside of that is not in the best interest of their users. Bill did ask me to ask the EverGreenCoin community to be understanding of that. We will explore this and other options during tomorrow's meeting. EDIT: I did sarcastically ask Bill if Walls Fargo is a paying customer. He did get my point and I do feel he sincerely tried. An interesting thing, the CFO seemed to be the biggest resistance among his management. |

Hi, I have been away from the forums for a while.
I just had to restore my EGC wallet from a backup, but now it looks like it's missing 60% of the coins.
It looks like they are being moved along with the staking for charity transfer. I am guessing its the change address. But why isn't it being restored along with the rest of my wallet, and how do I fix it?
Hi Kazadar, welcome back. You should not be missing any coins. Your Staking for Charity options would be resorted to what they were at the point in time when you made the backup, change address (if any) included. This information is written in the wallet.dat file. Staking for Charity can be disabled at anytime. Sorry you are having an issue. I am not sure I understand the issue completely. I will Personal Message you and help you get to the bottom of it. |
