This is John, the original dev of Earthcoin. Since there are too many wrong rumors about me. I feel that I need to post something to let you know the facts.

I created Earthcoin back in December. To better handle the communications with community, I found Norb. With whom we launched the coin together. Norb is good at graphics, and his professional graphics certainly helped Earthcoin. He later found Wes and Zark to help him on the communications side, while I was handling all the code/tech issues and new releases. We had a good partnership but unfortunately the communications between us was always an issue. We had a very different view on what is the "teamwork". Anyway I am not going to details, but at some points this was beyond the limit, and sadly I decided to quit the team.

Now on the premine. There was a 270 mil EACs premine. Of which 70 mils are spent at various giveaways and bounties (see OP for a list of giveaways, which do not include all the giveaways, many are not in the list). I handled main giveaway thread where giveaways were distributed to close to 1000 users, small giveaways are done by community members where we handed off lump sums. The remaining 200M Norb and I each took 100M. I'll leave Norb to disclose whereabouts of his 100M. For me, I contributed 26 mils to the bounty fund we created in the team (to encourage helps for EAC), including the 10 mils granted to Wes. I also spent various amount to charities, support games/faucets etc. This left about 65 mil for myself. I am not going to disclose my wallet address, or say what I will do with the coins. All I can say is that I still hold most of them. The recent down turn is clearly a confidence issue, the amount being dumped is much more than 65 mils (remember the outstanding coins are about 1.8 billions now).

With the new team in place, I wish the Earthcoin will go back to the right track, and I wish Earthcoin the best.

PS, Norb, please change password for earthcoin account, it's still the one I set originally.

both are scamcoins

Let me clarify the speed thing. The EAC has target block time of 60 sec and 5 confirmations. This mean the average confirmation time is 5 mins. Now you can see the coins received instantly, depends on the distance between sent and receive wallets, but you need time to confirm it. And confirmation time depends on the (actual) block time. So you can get confirmation in 10 sec, or you can get it in 6 mins. But average will be 5 mins. Do a few tries at different times, you will see what i mean.

Also, please understand that 5 confirmations is really an artificial indicator, it is for user interface only (Qt-client). It is the visual confirmations before the green tick occurs. Some coin set it to 2, some set to 3, some set to 5 (earthcoin), some set to 6 (bitcoin). It doesn't mean much, just a visual indicator. Usually after 5-6 confirmations we are pretty sure that the block will not be revoked, but there could always be exceptions. For this reason, some exchanges or services (such as CoinPayments.net) require more confirmations as many as 20.

when earthcoin will be added?

when do you plan to add support to earthcoin?

Yes you are right. This was the code from another member for the mining pool. I fixed it and checked in github. Thanks for the info!

No, there's a limit how each block the diff can be varied, both upside and downside. It's about at double or half and not beyond it. Otherwise the coin is subject to easy attack, that people will make the diff oscillate wildly. For now if the diff is 10, say, and most people stop mining, the next will be around 5, then 2.5, then 1.3 etc, until it hits a balance (determine by the actual block time).

Yes the link is broken, Wolf Rainer can you please fix it?

Thanks. These are residues for windows compile. We removed them and updated the source in github. Tips sent to you.

All requests processed. Thanks all for participating the giveaways.We will do many more after the Christmas. Happy Holidays to all!

Merry Christmas everyone!

All above requests are processed. Most should get their giveaways. If you did not get it, please check OP for conditions and what you can do. If in a rare case I missed you, re-post stating your reason. 

I am not sure you qualify, your account is main for all sorts of giveaways, moreover I did not see you showed any interests in EAC except for the giveaway.

I sent you the giveaway anyway. This kind of accounts are usually on the decline list.



Merry Christmas to you too. Please check OP on how to qualify.

request only once pls
