Hi Craslovell,

I guess I'll start right away . For me, it was amazing to see how fast and steadily Emer developed. The development, that started druing the Altcoin bullmarket 2 years ago was something I looked at and thought"Well looks like another Bitcoin derivate". Well I was utterly wrong. In those past 27 months, the developer achieved amazing things. There are 8 new services I know about:

1. EMC/SSH – Secure Shell Management System especially for administrators
2. EMC/DNS – Uncensored Domain Name System (peering with OpenNIC)
3. EMC/LNX– Decentralised Pay-per-click network for advertising
4. EMC/SSL – System for password free internet authorisation
5. Info/Card – Saving of electronic business card with EMCSSL
6. EMC/TTS – Saving of digital timestamps directly in the blockchain
7. MAGNET – Distributed Torrent Tracker for Internet-File-Sharing
8. EMC/DPO – Digital Proof of Ownership for physical and digital goods and services

There is a whole kaleidoscope of altcoins that offer interesting services, but there is hardly any that can hold its promises when it comes to practical use. In my eyes, this is the USP EMER has. The BAAS - Blockchain as a Service colaboration with Microsoft has been a milestone achievement and will not only boost Emers reputation but also its credibility which will give it the amount of trust required to survive in this shark tank of blockchain/crpytocurrency projects.

With First Bitcoin Capital advertising for Emer, it is only a question of time until additional business customers can be won. Additionally, Emer contains a transaction optimiser, which means that the block size is about 5 to 10 percent smaller than without it. We need this Emer spirit, especially in times of the everlasting btc debate.

To wrap up: I think Emer looks very promising. I think it could easily be reinforced by having a bigger community as the substructure might be strained by the pressure of the increasing market trend. As soon as EMER is listed on Poloniex, it will skyrocket like we haven't seen with many coins before. In a few years time, it might be one of few altcoins from nowadays to still be there.

To the team I say: Keep up the good work! What you do is exactly the vigorous spirit this technology/community needs. Thank you!

Cheers,
Cryptobabe

Oleg Khovayko, Emercoin CTO, told ForkLog the project’s assumed rivals were trying to undermine the company’s reputation with spam in Slack channel.
According to Khovaiko, the attacks are growing more sophisticated as the spammers mimic Emercoin’s official newsletters, and use a popular corporate messenger app for that purpose.
Thus, a user named buycoin sends out ads of the company’s solution based on outdated software to users having some relation to cryptocurrencies.
