Errr, he is a laughing stock, only recently he was described as a "mad conspiracy theorist" in the Telegraph.

You need to remember that the vast majority of the UK gets it's news from the main stream media and nowhere else. They haven't had their eyes opened at all, when they hear Icke mentioned all they think of is "son of godhead" and reptilian royals, then they have a good giggle.

It's not about trolling, most EAC users will never visit this site, it's about being taken seriously.

My suggestion?

If this is the way ahead, just don't ever mention Icke's name, always refer to People's TV.

Well, the UK, I don't get your question.

I agree, he does have some interesting stuff to say in amongst the completely barking stuff, but the merest mention of Icke in the UK tends to destroy your credibility.

Are we sure we want to be associated with David Icke?

Icke was a TV sports presenter and pro-footballer here in the UK when, in the nineties, he gave an interview and pronounced himself the "son of godhead" - he is a national laughing stock, no-one takes him seriously.

Is it not the case that being associated with him will give the general public an easy stick with which to beat EAC, make us look like we also believe in a reptilian royal family?

I'm not sure they are the kind of connotations we want for EAC.

Some probably won't bother, I mined about 65% of the coins I got the days either side of the x2 day - indeed, the net hash rate fell significantly after 5 or 6 hours of X2 mining, so many gave-up early.

X5 might well be a different kettle of fish.

He's probably had enough coke............ he's a little hyper......

I thought we'd said goodbye...... several times......

Will you always be back, like a shit terminator?

You have 500mh/s and don't know if you should solo or not?

You need to make your mind up, is it dying or going to take-off?

Your arguments are contradictory, you sound desperate to dump, just as BV would were someone to be daft enough to bribe him (and he be stupid enough to take it).

One of the real goals is to make it so that BV cannot ignore the coin, so that he has no choice but to list EAC.

One more point, I know this is ancient history, but no coin has been added to Cryptsy since 29th December and EAC was launched only a few days before Christmas. Taking into account festive celebrations, the new year and the fact that BV is probably driving his new Ferrari, are you genuinely surprised EAC is not on Cryptsy yet?

I've no idea, that's a question for the devs.

I've never been asked that before 

I should add that you can plant some trees, help the big cats or just save the earth on the foundation page, here:

Not bad for a Sunday.

Indeed, let's prove that money can grow on trees!!!

(How brilliant was that?   )

Re: All these arguments.

What is all this, sexual tension?

For all the people screaming about tree-huggers, hippies and low values:

The EAC forest campaign is not the the be-all- and-end-all of Earthcoin,  it's not it's sole purpose. It is part of the promotion of the coin. We already have contributions towards the trees (thanks to those who did!!!   ), jaguars, hungry people in Australia and Spanish greyhounds. Once the trees start getting planted, Earthcoin will receive valuable and hard to get publicity across the world in non-geek publications, it will bring in new users to crypto, it will provide a talking point (well, it already has!).

I'm not sure why some here seem to think that this coin should have made them rich within three-weeks without any effort on their part, I can't tell you why they feel it is owed to them except to say their attitudes display a remarkable ignorance of business, promotion and opportunity - they would appear to be gamblers rather than investors. I recommend that they frequent forums more suited to their attitudes, you know, those ones that yell "To the moon!" repeatedly, as though this incantation will make gold rain from the sky.

Earthcoin is already reaching out to to a new demographic and generating publicity that is not just about volatility and people losing millions of BTC on their hard drives. It is generating good, worthwhile and not-at-all-scary  coverage. This will separate it from the hundreds of dead-end, p&d coins out there that will just disappear after making the devs a bit of cash. Many of these other coins would be considered a fraud in a regulated market.

In the coming weeks we will be planting our first trees. Websites, newspapers, radio and maybe TV will follow it up and EAC will begin to have significance beyond these rather incestuous, geeky and specialist forums.

EAC will begin to have genuine real-world value.

That was six days ago 

Anyway, we guess 13th January, 2014, 8pm UTC

It's calculated on block number, not date, dates are approximate.

That's a lovely idea, but it's not really what we do.

We don't buy the land for re-forestation. More often than not it is land designated for this purpose by the local authorities of that country, sometimes the UN and sometimes land given-over for this purpose by the owners, although they retain the deeds to ,the land and just enter into an agreement to use the land for the project and nothing else.

I would like to make this clear, ownership of the land used for these projects stays with the original owners, we certainly are not buying it up. Sometimes there are financial advantages for the land owners to take part in these projects such as lowering of rates or tax, but all of this is out of our hands, it's all organised by the local governments.

 

Allow me to introduce myself, I am sussex and I represent the Green Organisation - we are collaborating with Earthcoin to grow an Earthcoin forest as part of our re-forestation projects.

We approached Earthcoin at the beginning of the week and have thrashed out an idea which, we think, will give EAC a unique selling point and a prominence that no other coin has been able to achieve, even BTC hasn't grown a forest! Coupled with the fast transaction times, honest and dedicated devs and this interested, intelligent and pro-active community, we think we're onto something. We're not sure what, but definitely something.

Look at what has been achieved by this coin even before it hits a big exchange - this is different.

So, what can I tell you?

We don't have a location for the forest yet, there are locations available worldwide. At the moment, Haiti is in dire need of help and is certainly on the list, but it could be anywhere.

We don't just plant trees for the environment, we also take into consideration the needs of locals and will plant varieties that can be used for sustainable logging, or maybe fruit trees. This ensures that the local populations are interested and open to our ideas. We also plant trees to prevent soil erosion, flooding, drought, all sorts of things. We are well into a tree planting project after the tsunamis which helps to re-instate the land and make it safe, usable and a bit more tsunami proof should the catastrophe hit them again

We are absolutely non-activist and non-political. We don't believe embarrassing people into action is always the best way. Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey. We've been operating for around twenty years, internationally.

We are not a charity. We are non-profit.

We work with many, many organisations across the world, big and very small. Perhaps the biggest feather in our cap is our connections to the United Nations, with whom we work on the tree planting projects, amongst others.

We also have very good political contacts in the UK government and will be espousing the brilliance of EAC to them at every opportunity, we are going to push this as hard as we can.

The director of the Green Organisation has many years experience in journalism and one of his staff is also ex- Fleet Street, we understand how the media works.

I know that Earthcoin is snowed under, he has been taken aback by the speed of events, so if you have any questions about this specific project or our involvement, feel free to direct them to me.

We will run this project transparently. We will provide monthly accounts and anyone can see our wallet on the blockchain, when we get it sorted.

Finally, we want the community to be involved too. We will be coming to you for your thoughts, but don't wait to be solicited, we are happy to hear anything you have to say, good or bad.

Lets grow some trees.

Ahhhh, right, Big Vern, who has nothing else to do and who really needs the money......  

Come on then Holmes, give us a name......
