Ummm very little movement and/or fluctuations with EGC coin among the traders on Bittrex. They look untrusted with the coin. It's sad but we need give a new impulse to the coin in some way. Any ideas?
I already shared my idea about it. First we would need a payment gateway and then an online renewable energy shop. But hey that's only my 2 EGC ey
That sounds very interesting, could we contact with gocoin or similar payment gateways? It will be great!
Yes, very interesting indeed, the beauty of which is it grows other ideas. We had previously been in contact with coinpayments.net and had a campaign to convince them to consider adding EverGreenCoin. That effort was unfruitful. I mentioned the reasons I suspect it was so in
this post. We can and will in the near future try again. As I previously mentioned, it might be wise to let the markets recover before we do so so that marketcap gives them more reason to consider. Of course we can add gocoin to the list.
I personally like the idea of dropshipping and think it is a promising idea. When I mentioned the idea to a colleague, they were of the opinion it was not wise and only offered, "it has failed for others." as an explanation and had to end the conversation. Of course that is not a strong enough argument to not pursue the idea. I will see if they are willing to elaborate on their discontent with the idea and, if so, present that point of view to the community on their behalf if they are unwilling to. But again, I like the idea but of course I am open to arguments that might prove it a path not to continue on. I have not yet heard such arguments.
Regardless of the dropshipping debate, the next step remains a payment processing gateway. I do know crypto-friendly merchants that would be happy to accept EGC once we reach this milestone. Some of them wanting to feature EGC and perhaps offer discounts for its use. Which brings up another point and idea I would like to bounce of the community members that like this idea so far: Why use EGC for a purchase as oppose to just using BTC? Know, we know the reasons that it helps EGC, creating demand. But, why would a consumer that already sees the benefit of using crypto and does want to use crypto for the purchase add the seemingly unnecessary step of converting the BTC into EGC for the purchase? This is the sticking point that I think all 'alt' coins face. So, we need an incentive. Now, when many of the environmentally supportive ideas (solar miners, solar mining farm, ecosia.org or similar, ect.) are implemented and using EGC has tangible evidence as being a currency that its use alone helps the environment, I do feel many people would then see that once unnecessary conversion step (BTC or other to EGC) as a worthwhile step. Until then, we need more I think, an incentive. Perhaps the EGC Foundation can step in to make an incentive by ways of covering a small discount or a rebate. Often times a discount of only 2% offsets shipping, it is implementing the discount that posses a problem. Now, some like-minded merchants will offer discounts and are small/agile enough, yet serve a global consumer base, to do so on a per transaction basis. The foundation matching or even covering the discount would be attractive to consumers and therefor merchants alike. To the best of my knowledge, implementing a discount at the payment processing gateway is not an option. Unless we were able to make some arrangement with said payment processing gateway, this might not be a feasible option thus making the discount incentive idea not realistic for many merchants and merchants that simply can not handle discounts on a per transaction basis for whatever reason. For this reason the rebate idea becomes more possible and promising. The foundation could rebate purchases made with EGC, therefore making an incentive for consumers. Of course, both the discount and rebate could not be a large because the funding is limited to do so but, wise consumers know it does not take much to offset shipping or sales tax (VAT).
Just an idea I have been thinking on and wanted to, like I said, share / discuss with the community members that are being helpful with these and other ideas. Thanks to those of you that are!
ill elaborate as best i can ...
faith in the company drop shipping ( unless a large established company of course ) is always a very low - and always something that leads to 'no stock' being kept on site ... which also leads to all forms of issues when stock-on-hand is non existent ...
my comment of 'it has failed for others' should have stood on its own merit steven ... especially coming from a man that has extensive retail industry experience in many areas - where i owned not only three retails stores here in australia - but also expanded into a warehouse and online shopping company with consultancy offices in three states - larger than the size of the most of the US ... drop shipping accrues more loss of faith in a company - due to their perceived inability to carry stock and thus their accountability ... its accountability that is the big issue here - and the perceived stability of the company due to lack of holdings of stock ...
yes - perceived ... we have been over this many times in private ...
i dont like coming out here and debating something that i have firm experience in ... you know that ... i would rather DO and SHOW ... like you with the amazing dev work you do ...
we need to discuss where this will lead to a cohesive system we can work from ... and inform the community and public as to what will need to happen in future with such things as shopping and ideas related ...
i agree with MANY things that have been discussed and brought forward - but dropshipping will not be one that i will back ... not unless a proven track record of the company we setup is prevalent - that will bring a solid backing from the community of BUYERS ... the only ones that actually have a say in this ... as these buyers dont exist - we can only speculate ... and as such - investing funds ( as well as time and effort - taking away from the development work that we have been discussing for many many weeks now ) into an idea that seems to be ( to me ) an unfounded sentiment of moving forward ...
an online shop - yes definitely ... to carry nothing in terms of stock of equipment - no way ... it will mean that we are no better than any other 'business' and their dog out in crypto world - that wants to start something like this ...
we are more than that - and the infrastructure will attest to that ... we will not be just an idea tying to surface ... especially when there is an infrastructure backing the idea ...
if you all feel im being too direct - then voice your opinions ... and if its still not a strong enough argument to NOT go for it ( yet ) - then we will have a lot more to discuss than just dropshipping ...
as for the payment gateway - i can only work with you on that - as skaia and i have been working on a system long before it was even mentioned here ... but your ideas seems to be relevant and logical and well placed ... more than just a dev - there are many more factors that are faced on this level - and the one thing doesnt seem to get very much mention - IS the infrastructure and beckend of ANY coin ...
whereas my whole focus has been that - which is why the development of the projects we have under our belts had to be put on hold until the infrastructure and backend was solid ...
i refuse to discuss any more ideas here with such things - and this is due to the reasons ive discussed with you personally steven ... too much is always at stake - and my reasons have been voice privately to you ...
im going back to continue working on the infrastructure and the entire backend of the ecosystem for 'theprojects' and 'theteam' ...
a few things that require attention here - and starting this week - i hope we can really start on them ...
tanx mate ...
