The hangout will be recorded, you can view it later if you wish. I just did a reinstall on the machine I will be streaming the hangout from, so I might start them both a bit early in hopes of resolving any issues prior to 17:00 GMT (1 pm EST). The meeting itself should only be about an hour, but we will go as long as need be. Of course, links will be posted here and tweeted at the start.

Enjoy your time with your loved ones!

So the community is aware, we will not be replacing the existing website with the new website tomorrow. Yes, we will be making the new website publicly accessible in its current form for the community to review where the development will continue, but not replacing the existing evergreencoin.org until it is in a more complete state.

I do not want the first impression new-comers see to be something that is incomplete and I regret to inform the community, it is much further from complete then we all had hoped. David of Sci Fi Domain cited problematic migration of certain modules from his staff's development servers to the EGC servers as a big loss of time. This loss of time has translated into less development time. David also cited that migrating a client's website prior to completion is not normal operation, though we had agreed on this approach previously and I had upgraded and provided access to the appropriate servers long ago.

In David's defense, and as I have previously stated, we did spend much time discussing the technical advantages and underlining motives of EGC. Communicating this clearly and fully to David did give him, and myself even after verbalizing, a better idea of the presentation we sought in our aim to make something more inviting to non-technical people. Though communication was 'reset' a few times due to communication gaps resulting from issues, both professional and personal, on both mine and David's end. I do have to accept blame for letting this phase drag out much longer than I should have in hindsight and not taken a hard-line approach to the timeline, certainly after the original contracted date estimation passed. The enormous time difference was also a hindrance to communications that needed to be verbal. Written communication would never have sufficed.

To be perfectly honest, and many of you that have talked with me might already know, it would seem my kind-hardheartedness has failed me to be able to play the hard-line role strong enough. I apologize for that, but it is my nature. My only defense, I still can't find "hard-line" in the contract. At any rate, the community will be able to view the new website tomorrow as promised but again, its form at that time might be less than the expectations I have raised. I did not intend to mislead. I only made pertaining post after communicating with Sci Fi Domains. Nothing I ever said in any posts, including this one, came as a surprise to them. The new site will not replace evergreencoin.org until it is all that myself, the community, and David have imagined.

Yes, it is coming together nicely and work is being done diligently. The plan is to launch it prior to the community hangout that is scheduled for the 29th at 17:00 GMT.

Hope to see you there!

I do not think the intent was to spam our thread. Rather efforts to promote by individuals that may not be as familiar with BCT or forums in general. I do think they thought it was more like a retweet or a personal invitation in some way. There are individuals in this group from India and surrounding areas that put forth honest efforts of promotion on social media. Not all of them speak English so, bear that in mind also. There could have copy and pasted what they were told is a valid English translation. That said, I have learned greed knows no language barriers, as the group was internally betrayed previously and yes, that was a source of much dumping on the market previously. I do hope the group has rid itself of those individuals. I do know they have removed a lot of people.

I have been contacted by some EGC holders on the other side of our mother earth that are having difficulties accessing the block explorer. There is nothing wrong with the block explorer itself. We recently had to make some DNS changes that, because of the global DNS problems the past days, have been slow to propagate completely across the Internet.

I had made an error in my first attempt to change the DNS zone file and I do accept that responsibility. Fortunately, with the help of a couple of the amazing minds in the Slack/IRC, it was quickly diagnosed and resolved. Because of this, propagation did have to start over and I do apologize for my error and the inconvenience it may, even still apparently and unfortunately, be causing members of the community globally.

If you are unable to access the block explorer via the fully qualified domain name (http://transactions.evergreencoin.org), you can subvert DNS resolution and access it by IP directly at http://158.69.205.238:3001/ during this time. It certainly should be propagated globally within 24 hours and chances are, it has already propagated for you. 

It seems we did pick an unfortunate time to start the needed changes but, once it was started, there was no turning back. They had to be completed, even in lieu of the global DNS issues.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Yes, the vast majority of EGC trading takes place on Bittrex.

If history is any indicator, the action you seek will not be far off.

Hazelnut. Sorry, it is a hazelnut.

Chestnuts. The beauty of nature is amazing. Original resolution.

Welcome all! It is great to see people from all around mother earth gravitate to EverGreenCoin, a cryptocurrency designed from the ground-up to cultivate and nurture Environmental Green Causes in all its many forms. This common bound unites us all beyond borders and languages and is beautiful to see and share with you all.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

I have noticed a low connection count on the seednodes, which could be indicative of a fork on the network.

Please check the block hash of your EGC wallet against the official block explorer (http://transactions.evergreencoin.org) which does concur with the seednodes. If you do not know how to do this, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1272091.msg15228771;topicseen#msg15228771

If you find your wallet does not concur with the block explorer, please close your wallet promptly. Do not open it again until you have time to re-synchronize with the network. A snapshot and instructions are available, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1378653.msg15797264#msg15797264, that will speed re-syncing.

Please do not move EGC to or from any exchange until they have been confirmed to be on the correct blockchain.

I apologize for this inconvenience.

EDIT: Bittrex has been confirmed to be on the correct blockchain.
EDIT 2: YoBit has been confirmed to be on the correct blockchain.
EDIT 3: Cryptopia has been confirmed to be on the correct blockchain.
EDIT 4: Ccex may be on an incorrect blockchain. I have contacted them via Skype to verify their chain. They are usually very quick to act.
EDIT 5: Ccex is resyncing as of 09:45 EST

I have now just concluded the 2 hour-long meeting with David and our discussion on the timeline specifically. The meeting was only David and I and did not included his staff, which did make expressing realities of the timeline at present easier as David and I could talk businessman-to-businessman as well as friend-to-friend. There was no need for softening the delivery of facts, on David's side nor mine, as would have been the case in a larger meeting consisting of participants that may not have a complete understanding of the business relation. David and I have got to know and respect each other a lot over the course of this project. I do see him as being a very valuable asset to EGC beyond the build of this new website and into the future.

Now to the timeline. I did present David with a deadline of the 29th of this month. The 29th will be the next community hangout and will be a perfect time for exploration and discussion of the new site together. Some of his staff might not be perfectly happy with a deadline but David and I do feel comfortable in it. We also did discuss elements that could be postponed in a crunch for time. For example, we had planned on re-doing the faucet. But if need be, the present faucet could easily be used and plugged into the new framework to buy the time to focus on bigger components.

Being that the marketplace specifically does need much more attention in both business logic and development and actually was not listed as a requirement when we agreed upon payment, we did agree to remove that from the criteria for the 29th deadline. That said, please do not think you have any reason to not be excited about the launch. The portal will still consist of a business directory, a forum for individual or business profiles, unified login, and live chat all with mobile and desktop versions. Also, and this had been unannounced until now, we are leverage some existing code SciFi has built to facilitate crowdfunding within the portal.

David, any willing community members, and I will evaluate the marketplace as we do have options, all of which will have the under-lining foundations (carts, merchant profiles, product profiles) in place to support on the 29th. I will devote some time during the community hangout to discuss these options, giving the community time to digest and later provide much appreciated feedback on the direction the marketplace will take.

The removal of the marketplace as a requirement for the 29th should not remove the excitement. I know it does not for me. This is not a "website" but a portal for a truly green ecosystem. The minds EverGreenCoin has attracted here on BCT are amazing. When we tap that same potential from the general public through this portal, a friendly, more robust, and focused environment, the results will be of an endless potential. Please do know David and I have put much strategic thought and planning into this portal to meet EGC's goal of being a fungible and low (zero in the future) carbon footprint cryptocurrency while cultivating green businesses, an entire green ecosystem, and the green movement in all its many forms.

EverGreenCoin and the green movement start a new chapter on October 29th. I can't wait to see you there.

Because of the prolonged delay completing and launching the new site, David and I have agreed that providing a glimpse of the direction we are working towards would be appropriate at this time. I did mask out a few things for strategical purposes. I had originally intended to only share this with the Slack channel participates and did so yesterday but, in all fairness, I do feel obligated to sharing with the community members here on BCT also.

This was the last RTM, it is not a screenshot of the current development stage but this is, in large part, the end goal we are working towards. We exploring the idea of adding some 'advertising' spots to promote exceptional marketplace participants and/or green businesses. These will not be paid advertising, but rather a show case more so.

As far as the progress of the work, the marketplace is still the bulk of the remaining work. You see, we wish to link marketplace accounts to forum accounts. We feel this will not only make a degree of accountability for marketplace merchants, but also will give would be customers a good way to research the marketplace merchant and see past customers experiences, reviews, and hopefully more so, accolades. This will also give marketplace merchants the ability to interact, field questions, dispute claims, and promote their goods or services. Marketplace merchants will not need to be businesses, they can be individuals also.

We are also working on the logic of the marketplace. There will be no escrow, buying and selling will be between the buyer and seller only. Escrow may occur in the future but, at this time, that would be the distant future. I do want to make it clear to users, the simple acceptance of a merchant to the marketplace and the granting of permission to list items is not an official endorsement by myself, EGC, or the EGC Foundation. But certainly those endorsements would come in time when the merchant has proved to be conducting honest business. At that time, they would also be added to rotation in the previously mentioned advertising spots and other promotions on social media, making every effort to bloom the marketplace. We are very aware of the risks involved for consumers in an online marketplace such as this, especially in this industry. We will make every effort to protect buyers, but will not be accountable in the unfortunate event a scammer manages to slip through, though, I would make every effort to assist. But my ambition is to never be put in that position. You can be certain myself and other community members will be thoroughly on the look-out and investigative. We will be VERY proactive in this regard. All this work is not going forward so some scammer can ruin the marketplace's reputation or the reputation associated with EverGreenCoin or myself. I want people to have confidence when shopping in the marketplace and I will hold the bar very high to ensure that, if need be. When I say that, please do not think it will be difficult to get an items added. Long standing merchants or individuals that have already established a reputation of honesty of course would not face the same scrutiny. Please understand this scrutiny is necessary as some people will undoubtedly want to hold me personally accountable.

Please do feel free to voice any feedback. David and I will of course take any opinions, ideas, and feedback in heavy consideration.

In closing and again, I am fully aware of the eagerness to see results already. The community has been more than understanding of the numerous delays and I personally, and on David's behalf, thank you for that. I plan a detailed discussion of the timeline tonight (David's morning) with David and his staff. You can expect a report from me summarizing that discussion within the next 8 hours.

Thank you, earningwinner and starmman. We are all very anxious, and with good reason. It certainly will be an attractive portal for investors, end-users, and newcomers alike.

We are not ready for outside testing as of now. If David and I agree we are in the very near future, I will follow-up with you starmman. Many thanks for the offer! All the help from the community moving EverGreenCoin forward and the willingness to help is greatly appreciated.

We have started a Telegram group for EverGreenCoin and all are welcome. https://telegram.me/EverGreenCoin if you wish to join.

Hi everyone!

Been a bit quiet here. Please do not misinterpret this silence as a lack of progress for EverGreenCoin. Quite the contrary is true.

Just some quick updates on the current status of things...

• Android wallet - The previously mentioned developer that can deliver the non-staking wallet fell out of communication with me for a few weeks due to his own circumstances. Communication has been re-established however and he does now have time to devote. During the time that communication had been lost, I had entered into negotiations with another group of developers in India. This being the 5th I have been in communication with, if I have not lost count. They wanted paid in 4 parts totaling 3000 dollars and a 2 month lead time. Given that they could offer me zero proof of being able to deliver an android wallet, I have ended those talks. Unfortunately it did cost time. I only mention this so the community knows I am pursuing many avenues.
  
  Back to the android developer that is proven. The way he plans on building the EGC android wallet, and has built for other coins, relies on an ABE block explorer. Myself and my good friend and colleague Brooks, a longtime supporter that has helped me with testing of EGC dating back to prior to launch, are working on getting ABE to work with EGC. Out-of-the-box ABE does not read the blocks correctly. From what the android developer tells me, this has been a large and insurmountable hurdle for many coins that have wished to contract him to develop an android wallet. Brooks and I do feel very confident we can get it working, but it is requiring a large amount of modification to the ABE code. Due to time constrictions on both my own and Brooks side, this has been slowed but it is progressing. We need to get this completed before the android developer can begin. We do have the budget sitting ready to pay him once we have the ABE working.
  
  
• New website - SciFi Domains staff continues to progress. I have started to apply a small amount of urgency on them, but as stated, I do want them to freely exercise their creativity. I am fully aware of everyone's eagerness to get this launched, for I am reminded daily via messages on Slack, Skype, Facebook, and WhatsApp. For a large part people have been patient and understanding so long as I remain communicative and reassuring that progress is being made. I am thankful for that but do understand it may be wearing thin. Again, it will be well-worth the wait. On that note, David has also been very valuable from a business/marketing perspective. Even our 'quick chats' turn into 3+ hour long discussions of how we can easily and understandably present EverGreenCoin. I think you will appreciate all the thought that we put into the website and our presentation and explaination of EverGreenCoin. To be honest, the presentation is quite clever and unique to crypto. This is why I have provided only limited glimpses though I have, unintentionally, let a bit slip during community meetings. My excitment delutes my judgement and 'secrets' are not really my forte.
  
  
• Solar staker/miner - I am very excited that my CHIP is almost ready for shipment. Yesterday I got an email to verify my shipping address and letting me know shipping will occur before the end of the month. In the meantime, I have been making some scripts to run on the CHIP to make sure the device can and will operate properly without human intervention. This includes periodical snap shot backups, verify the local blockchain, and re-snap shotting if need be as resyncing over the network would be far too power consuming. Also I am building mechanisms to alert the end user of needed upgrades, possibly advising them to plug in the device before they launch the upgrade (yes, we are now planning to provide the option of running the device from a wall outlet), and potentially notifying them of recalls in the unfortunate event it is needed. Remember we intend to sell the production models to the general public. These automated steps will need to be in-place and well-tested during the beta phase. The community has been invaluable in helping me explore all the possible scenarios and proper resolutions in the Slack/IRC. The project is really picking up steam, in large part, thanks to Mike's expertise and professionalism.
  

Ok, I think I have touched on everything. Please join us on Slack/IRC if you wish to contribute or participate in these conversations. Even if you only wish to observe discussions, you are more than welcome!

The one that starts with "EverGreenCoin"

Nodes is not your problem. It is more probable you need to resync your wallet.

Follow these steps:

1, Close your EverGreenCoin wallet.
2, Navigate to %appdata%/EverGreenCoin within Windows Explorer. (otherwise stated, C:\Users\<Windows User>\AppData\Roaming\EverGreenCoin)
3, Delete everything in that folder except your wallet.dat file.
4 (optional), follow: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1378653.msg15797264#msg15797264 to load a snapshot. This might be faster than snycing over the network.
5, Launch the wallet.
