You do not need nodes. The 7 seednodes are hardcoded into the wallet, discovering peers via the seednodes is best. Are you running version 1.3?

The vast majority of volume is at Bittrex, yes. I would venture to say Bittrex is better and a more trusted exchange and certainly more so than YoBit. YoBit has a bit of a history, even specifically with EverGreenCoin, as slow to help resolve issues. Of all the exchanges EGC is presently listed on, YoBit is the slowest to help resolve even urgent issues.

I guess I have more forgiveness than most. I do like Gabi, he has interesting ideas, and has been helpful to EverGreenCoin. Perhaps he did not realize the homework that was necessary to bring those ideas alive. Perhaps he was consumed with his newly forming family. I can see that.

That said, I too do feel betrayal by taking the strato project to another coin and community. No one can deny, that was flat-out wrong. No excuse can be made for that. But if Gabi is willing to admit and accept that, swallow his pride and be open to input from knowledgeable community members that are trying to help, and do as promised or modified only after modifications are agreed upon, I see no reason why we can't go forward with the EGC strato project.

I don't see how a second chance can do any further damage. Honestly, the ball is in your court, Gabi. 

Sorry for the slow response, Wosterlee. I was combining soybeans most of the day and most of my night has been dealing with this:



That wheel should be straight.   

As far as the new website, I discussed a hard ETA with David on Monday. At that time he told me his staff did not feel comfortable establishing a hard ETA because they work on this project after-hours and on weekends. Because the contract was agreed upon at such a low rate, 'bread and butter' clients have a higher priority and get all the attention during business hours. I understand the disappointment this may initially cause the community but I do not want to rush David's staff. David and I have come up with a tall order for his staff and I do not want them to feel the need to cut corners to meet a deadline. I want them to have time to use their skills artistically. I promise you, it will be well worth the wait if we allow it. SciFi Domains has made some amazing sites and this site has many "moving parts" or components to be integrated. As it nears completion, it will be easier to pinpoint the launch date and I will of course relay that information to the community.

Off the record and only an estimation based on my observations of the rate of progress, we are still looking at a week to two weeks before it is polished and all the content is finished. Please do not think that is because work has not been on-going. David and I have brain stormed on the design much. Many, many hours during which David and I have discussed in great detail many aspects of EverGreenCoin, not only the website. He is really an interesting individual to talk to, as are many of the community. His better understanding of my ambitions with EverGreenCoin from these discussions do help him understand and collectively determine the flow and presentation we want for the end users experience on the new website. We have come up with some very interesting ideas and angles. I do want his staff to have time to bring those ideas freely to fruition.

Again, my apologies for the slow response and my less-than-average rate of communication recently. This time of year can be very hectic and, as you can see, very unpredictable.

Gabi,

1st - Taking money from people in exchange for doing something, and then not doing what you took their money for is a scam. The community has been more than understanding of failed attempts to launch and even the launch that failed. They have been understanding of that because honest explanations were provided. But I can not provide an honest explanation to the EGC community if you refuse to communicate with me. I can only honestly tell them what has honestly happened.

2nd - If you entered yourself and/or the strato project into something that conflicts, EGC is not the conflict. What you entered is the conflict. You should remove that conflict if your better judgement failed you initially. Not doing so now that you have acknowledged a conflict, again, is a scam.

3rd - The paper wallet "solution" is anything but awesome. Quite honestly, presenting that as an equivalent or even suggesting it as superior to what people have paid for is a scam. People paid for a "strato transaction" which is a transaction that occurs in the stratosphere. Not for paper wallets to float around Romania's airspace and a transaction that is no different than any other transaction to occur here on land.

4th - Don't call it a donation. People, myself included, paid. If people donated on top of that, you have another obligation.

There are 4 ways this can proceed:

1) You fulfill the obligation and do so as arranged and promised.
2) You don't/can't and provide a refund. Of course, an explanation to why the arrangement could not be meet would be proper. I can, as I have in the past, communicate that for you.
3) For whatever reason you run into some hurdle that you find insurmountable, we present that hurdle and a proposed resolution and if, and only if, the people that have already paid find that resolution acceptable we proceed with the resolution.
4) Scam. Something your name, not mine, will be tied to. I will make facts public and documented so there is no doubt.

Since you gave me and the community zero indication that options 1, 2, or 3 would be happening and in fact ignored me when I know you are online and see my messages, you are off work and could respond if you choose to, and fully know I am trying to get information for the community, you can not blame me nor accuse me of being wrong for drawing the only remaining conclusion. Seeing you advertise the strato project with another coin only reaffirmed option 4 must be the case.

Please work with me, and yes communicate, so that we can do right with the EGC strato project. Myself and the community would still like to see it happen and I would be glad to help you disprove my drawn conclusion.


p.s. You can ship the solar panels and components I purchased to me when you ship me my 3D printed name. Hopefully after the successful EGC strato launch. They were not a donation either.

The EverGreenCoin slack channel and the EverGreenCoin IRC channel are now connected.  

Messages from one are relayed onto the other.

The OP has been overhauled. Many thanks to the community members that have helped with this!


EDIT: Note that the PoSWallet image is not erroneous. It appears their website is down and I have tweeted at them.

So the community is aware, I have imported all the private keys from the paper wallets that were prepared for the strato launch event and returned the coins that remain to the EverGreenCoin Foundation. This comes after months of unanswered messages to Gabi Dumitriu on skype, facebook, and email.

It is clear he has no intent to refund community members nor follow through with his word and intends to just run with the communities coins. He has moved his scam onto another community. While myself and the foundation are not responsible for his lies and theft of coins, I will gladly refund any EverGreenCoin to community members that fell prey. Please PM me if you would like to arrange a refund.

Thank you for the kind words!

EDIT: Just crossed 6000 sat. Now 66% gain!

No traditional banking system can give you that!

Yes, this is why we feel making the meeting monthly will be better. Weekly meetings are having the same talking points basically and the previous notes stll seem applicable.

The hangout has now ended. I recorded this hangout, https://youtu.be/g-LPokjjUH4

It was my first time using youtube live (the replacement of hangouts on air) and the streaming software so, my apologies if the quality is not perfect. I need to find a balance of the you tube live stream that does not kill my google hangout session but, all-in-all, it went well.

In the future, the community hangout will be only once a month. Having it every week is too often. So it will be the last Saturday of every month at 17:00 GMT (1 pm EST).

We will have developer / brainstorming hangouts and such more often of course. If you would like to attend those, please join our slack as they will not be announced but as needed. PM me an email address you would like the slack invite sent to. All are welcome there as well!

Thanks to those who attended and participated!

The hangout has started! All are welcome!

Hi EverGreenCoin community,

In 12 hours from the time of this writing we will be having our community hangout / meeting at 17:00 GMT (1 pm EST). I will post a link just prior.

All are welcome to attend! Hope to see you there!

Thank you, both of you. EverGreenCoin has a clear path to achieving its objectives of having a positive impact on our environment and doing so while being a profitable investment for holders via staking.

Yes, EverGreenCoin is certainly different tree in the forest, if you will. We are commonly grouped into the classification of a 'cause coin'. What sets us apart from even that honorable pack is the cause is in support of all our environment and the many ways it can be improved. The scope of that can be very big, and it should be. As the newly forming branches grow and new ones emerge, our impact will be broader and more widespread giving EverGreenCoin more and more exposure. This new exposure has and will continue to bring new minds and hands into the community. I like this analogy, if the divisions are branches and the foundation is the trunk, the community is our root-system. That growth there will nourish the many budding blossoms of the branches. The cycle repeats.

Fueled by the need for environmental change in all its various forms, a fuel that will surly only increase in octane, EverGreenCoin will flourish in its causes and its profitability while doing so.

Thanks again for the kind words!
