Do you guys realize that the little power fight you are having right now is doing more harm than good to this coin you care about?? Why don't you realize that the more you'll be doing this the closer you'll bring this coin to his death. The second foundation was created to bring solutions to a sinking coin that we want to succeed. Why can't both foundation work on their side but still talk to each other to find the best way to put emc2 back on it's feet?. It looks like 12yrs old arguing. Nothing good for the coin.

Anyone is welcomed to bring solutions to help the coin. If you can't grow up and show some maturity, you'll be the reason why emc2 will die. You got 2 options. It can happen to disagree with others on a lot of things but right now we have to put this aside and work together.

So are we starting to work on the revival of emc2 or we let it die from internal fights?

Rename idea: emc2 board.

hell yeah i'm ready 

With the situation we have right now, we need to act fast if we don't want that coin to die. The time lapse was short, it's true. Give us the chance to put emc2 in the right path. An other election will be called after the first steps are made. With the result given by the actions done by the team in place, we'll try to give more time for any member to nominate who they think is worth the seats. You are welcome to help us with the continuation of the plan in place.

As the open nomination period is over, we have :

armis as President & Board Member
mdtspain   as Treasurer & Board Member
djnocide    as  Secretary & Board Member
Oldminer    as   Board Member
Vice president and one Board Member seat still empty.

Since only one nomination was made per seat and officer position, we don't need elections.
We still need to find someone to fill the vice-president position and someone for the fifth Board Member seat.

i'll go for the secretary and board member

nominate:
armis as president/ board member
ottobene as vice-president/ board member
mdtspain as treasurer/ board member
Oldminer as board member

June 12, Vote For Team EMC2

Team EMC2's action plan will strengthen EMC2 and result in higher more stable market values.   Specifically, we will responsibly and expeditiously address all of the issues brought up by the community, including but not limited to: POS, merge mining, limited exchanges, retail usage, leadership progress reports, official valuations, etc ...

In addition, we we will reach out to other CC communities for intelligence and assistance, and reach out beyond the CC industry for support as well; we will grow EMC2 in such a way that will make the community proud.

Vote for Team EMC2 we are committed to excellence, accountability, and value. 


Volunteers wanted, please send me PM.

Right now i think that being removed from a site is a good thing. Let's build the volume on the other sites(let's do this on 3-4 sites max) before spreading around all the exchanges. 5 btc volume total on 10 exchanges is not interesting, we need to focus on increasing volume on key exchanges.

1+ ECAP

People are looking for the quickest way to get rich, right now the big hype are those kind of coin. EMC2 is not a scheme to get rich, people have to keep that in mind. All ideas are welcome and i like to read what people that invested in emc2 want and think what is the best for the future. Let's not forget what the goal of this coin is.

plx at 800 satoshi, was at 100 less than 12hours ago. MON being pump soon? 

To give some informations about merge mining since there's a lot of speculation on what could happen.
Here's what i found on merge mining with an other coin:

For a simple explanation of merge mining: (info found on http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/273/how-does-merged-mining-work ) change the bitcoin and namecoin names for emc2 and the other coin we could merge mine with.

First, the miner must assemble a transaction set for both block chains. He then assembles the final Namecoin block and hashes it. He then creates a transaction containing this hash that is valid in the Bitcoin chain and inserts it in the Bitcoin transaction set at the tip of the tree. He then assembles the final Bitcoin header with this transaction in it and sends out the work units.

If a miner solves the hash at the Bitcoin difficulty level, the Bitcoin block is assembled and sent to the Bitcoin network. The Namecoin hash does nothing and the Bitcoin network ignores it.

If a miner solves the hash at the Namecoin difficulty level, the Namecoin block is assembled. It includes the Namecoin transaction set, the Namecoin block header, the Bitcoin block header, and the hash of the rest of the transactions in the Bitcoin block. This entire "mess" is then submitted to the Namecoin system. The Namecoin system, supporting merged mining, accepts this as proof of work because it contains work that must have been done after the block header and Namecoin transaction set was built. (Because you can't build the Bitcoin transaction set containing that hash, and therefore the Bitcoin header that secures it, without that information. So it proves the work was done.)


Pros:
-Technicality of both coins stays the same (block time, difficulty retarget option, total amount of coins)
-51% attacks protection increased with th hashrate of both network combined
-For the same hashrate you use to mine one coin, you get coins from the other network

cons:
- needs a hard fork for the implementation
- No one knows what the miners of both networks will do with the extra coins they get
- If the community decide they don't want to merge mine anymore, an other hard fork is needed
- Pools operator have to setup their pools properly for merge mining, which mean that there's a chance that not all pools switch

The smaller coin do the hard fork for the merge mine, the bigger coin don't need to do any changes. It's an option we have to keep in mind since the goal of emc2 is for people to mine it, bigger the network, bigger are the donations.

If we choose this options we need to decide if we want to merge mine with a bigger coin (ltc, doge, etc.) or we find 2-3 small coins, that have been around for some times and proved they weren't just a Pump and dump scheme, to create a bigger network for those coins.

We need to choose carefully and wisely because the merge mine will have an impact on the image of the coins involved. You can't choose any coins and you can't do it just because it looks great.

I hope this clarify merge mining as an option to help emc2 survive this rough time.

Let's see who want to see the merge mine happening, if the community wants it. We'll have to look for the potential coins to merge with after.

The website is a step in the right direction, we have to do what we can to help emc2 grow.

+1

The value will rise if we choose the right coin to merge mine with. We can't choose any coins and do it. We have to find one that will make the merge mine beneficial for both. Don't know if a coin like that exist right now. We can't really take merge mining lightly right now with the position emc2 is at. It's an option we have to consider. Only merge mine won't save emc2, it's the actions made after that, that will save emc2 if we do it.

What i would do:
#1 no algo change, right now we couldn't please everyone is this community.

#2 merge mine  with 1 or 2 small coin with potential (not p&d) (digibyte, noblecoin or any coin that have proven what it's worth). why merge mine with a small coin? Because it would help both if we merge mine with a bigger, more establish coin it will look like we are his little pet. Emc2 is worth much more than that. With a small coin, both community can work to make things work for both coin. Since a lot of small coin have difficulty right, it would be the best time to do it. We would have to make a list of potential coin to merge mine with, let's see which coin the community think is worth it.

#3 No PR campaign until everything is done. it would take some times for the community to find the right coin and one that want to merge mine too.

#4 when it's done, it's show time, ads, video and everything to let the net knows what happened. In the same time, working on expanding the usefulness of both coins (trying to find as many vendors as we can to accept both coins). Not necessarily any vendors but maybe focusing on vendors related to the goal of each coin.

#5 Going back to the exchanges.


i hope you like this answer better 


           

wait to see what the foundation is planning, right a lot of people are dumping. Too many coins on the market for a coin that we don't know the future (no clear path). Sometimes you need to takes chances, might turn good, might be bad. You have to believe in the choices you make

if everybody know you'll pump a coin it won't work

or we could find 1 or 2 coins with KGW and digishield willing to merge mine. it's an other option we have to consider, not as big as LTC but could be profitable too.
