^^ahh my mistake, im always a day late and a dollar short, especially with technology. the solar staking reminds me of solar coin, not to hijack the thread, but is there any communication with the solar coin group? perhaps a partnership in the future? cross promotion maybe at the very least could be advantageous to both coins/groups. just a thought.
There has been parallels and comparisons made in the past. Actually, I was just in a meeting where SolarCoin was brought up by a meeting participant that had a less-than-desirable experience working with that project. I myself have never had any direct communication with them but, of course respect them for their like-minded project and the great progress they have made with it. I personally feel that one of the many advantages EverGreenCoin has is the intent to serve a much broader spectrum, and not a specific niche of 'green'. It might come as a surprise to many of you, because I have never publicly explained, that this is where the name of EverGreenCoin actually came from, Ever[thing]Green. You may notice anytime I spell out Ever GreenCoin, I always do so with a capitol 'G'. I never call it Ever greenCoin as it is often mistakenly refereed to as. It also draws attention to and emphasizes the EGC trade symbol. Actually it is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I do agree that it might be advantageous for both projects as I think both projects potentially stand to gain from some cooperation. I will approach them in the future and see if their is any possibility of that from their perspective. And no, you're not hijacking the thread at all. Most any discussion is welcome. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! |

 Our good friend GrumpyTiger is experimenting with a solar-powered Pine64 staking EverGreenCoin. He is wrapped up with some personal matters, but he said I could share his picture with the community. That looks awesome - I need to get myself one of those =) I'd probably need some backup power over here in the UK as we don't often get sunlight =) I live in Ohio where we have much overcast most all of the year from the great lakes. In the winter when we have very few daylight hours, it seams like we don't see the sun for days. I have never had the pleasure of visiting the UK but, I did have a once in a lifetime journey to Ireland, thanks to my crypto involvement. We are planning for areas like yours and mine, starmman, and designing a way more panels/batteries can be added. We also, as of Monday, are adding the ability for the EGC solar staker/miner to be plugged into a wall outlet for those that live in a flat/apartment that may have little or no daylight inside nor the ability to place a device outside. The pictures device is not the device we are presently designing the EGC solar staker/miner around. Because we are aiming for a price under 100 USD we need to focus more of that cost on panels and batteries, we are designing around a CHIP. The Pine64 is an interesting device and so are the solar packs GrumpyTiger has pictured. But the Pine64 seems to be an overkill that would need even more panels and more batteries to run, pushing costs far above the target. The EGC solar staker/miner will also not have a keyboard nor a mouse as it will be accessible via a web browser on the same attached local network. We also are experimenting with a small LCD, which may be an optional add-on. We are doing our very best to design the EGC solar staker/miner as a product that can be used in as many geographical locations as possible. Community ideas or comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you all! |

I've been doing a bit more work on a possible solar staker setup using a C.H.I.P. small computer. This is a low powered Linux computer (similar to the original Raspberry Pi in performance) but comes with built in storage, wifi, bluetooth and battery controller. I've been running a wallet on this device for just over a month and it seems to have been working well and generating some coins through staking. It's also coped with going offline and loosing power a few times as the battery gets drained.
Obviously to be useful as a solar staker it needs to be able to run from solar power, and keep running from a battery when there's not enough solar energy. I've started some work on this by testing a couple of different lipo cells. With one battery I've tested I'm able to get around 16 hours of runtime and it took around half the time to re-charge. I've got some more tests to do about recharge rates to see if it can be charged faster if given enough power. I'm currently waiting on a couple of small solar panels and hope to get some idea of what might be required once those arrive. Obviously solar output will depend on time of year and location so won't be the same for everyone.
There's also some talks happening behind the scenes about how it should be possible to use this solar staker with some ideas for providing a local web interface as well as the possibility for a small LCD screen. I've also been looking at how things like battery state can be queried from code and as I get anything useful I'll try and integrate that into the IRC bot that runs on this same CHIP.
how did you get a C.H.I.P computer when they say they aren't shipping until october? just going off their website, maybe they are sold elsewhere? im very interested in this computer and your idea of using it for solar staking The device originally started on kickstarter sometime in 2015, to the best of my knowledge. All those had been shipped as of January this year. They have been selling them in batches of preorders since. https://bbs.nextthing.co/t/pre-order-shipping-updates-scaling-up-c-h-i-p-production/7282 |

I am very excited about CHIP and that my CHIP will ship next week. I have opened communication with the manufacturer of CHIP in regards to a possible bulk order in the near future. |

Devs said that he is waiting until the new website is ready to do some promotions.
Once we get some of the projects ready we should see some growth.
It might take some months but personally I am fine with that. Things take time to build, especially when we dont have one of those big ICO budgets.
Yes, we have advertising paid for and waiting to launch after the new website is launched. We want to put our best foot forward for the new eyes that the advertising will bring in. |

I have upgraded the web server in preparation for the new website. I have also built a staging environment to stage the new website on during final development. The stage will not be public but allows for developmet and testing on what will be the production environment. This way the migration will be as seamless as possible.
David and the plans are progressing nicely. We have big aspersions for the new website as you know and there are many logistical and 'moving parts' to be implement and orchestrate. No projected ETA on the launch of the new website at this time but, David and I have a meeting scheduled for later today and I will see if we can formulate an estimation that we both are comfortable with.
EDIT: I needed to postpone the meeting til tomorrow, but will get the ETA delivered asap.

To the community members that may have EGC residing in their EGC IRC tip bot wallet, the tip bot will be re-enabled during the entire month of September so users can withdraw any balance. The creator of the tip bot, Drew, is doing some major overhauls to his network of tip bots. Many thanks to VashTheStampede, Drew has agreed to run the old tip bot for a month so users can recover any balance.
Thanks again, Vash and Drew!

Do you have a PM to the polo to add EGC  We have been going about the coin addition request process as outlined in https://poloniex.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/1000229325-how-can-i-get-a-coin-listed-on-poloniex- We do meet, and in my opinion exceed, all the criteria outlined there. Of course the biggest factor polo looks at is volume. That is understandable because that is how they make their profit and operating costs. EGC's volume is and has been very impressive by anyone's measure. There is no reason they should not add EverGreenCoin but, it is their choice when and if they do so. Thank you all for your help in this effort. If you have yet to do so, please submit a polo coin request form and log into your twitter account and compose a thoughtful and courteous tweet at @Poloniex expressing your interest in having @EverGreenCoin_ added at their exchange. Again, many thanks! If you are reading this, chances are you stand much to gain by polo adding Evergreencoin (EGC). From my side, i won't add the Poloniex Exchange to my Cryptocurrency Tracker Project until EGC coin will be added to the Exchange. Together we will be more stronger. Regards. Of course. No one would expect you to invest your time until listed was a certainty. I can see you have much time invested already in your project, and I thank you for that. Thanks to you for you inspiring green project. This decission -not to add Poloniex to the project until EGC listed- is a little way to somehow contribute to Poloniex listed the EGC coin in its exchange too. I want to support the EGC project as far as i can do it. But i'm satisfied with Bittrex Exchange by now. Yes, I saw your tweet and the underlying motive. Well played. Thank you for your support and yes, like all community members contributing, the support is returned and reciprocal. |

 Make no mistake about it, the new EGC website is going to knock your socks off. David, his co-workers, and I are pulling out all the stops to make the new site an amazing web experience for newcomers, investors, and community members. 'Big dog' website for a 'big dog' coin. The benchmark is about to be raised and your expectations, shattered. Development is in full swing but no tentative launch date of the new site at this time. Of course, I will keep you posted. |

I see a few pure profit orientated people around here, that measure a decent project like this only by the money to be made.
If you're only into this for your own profit, then you are missing the whole point that Evergreen stands for.
I care for our environment and so should you. If that is not the motivation for you to support EGC, then please hop over to another coin.
I won't miss you for sure.
I only wish they could see how much more profitable the profits we seek will be. Sure, investors want to see monetary profits. I and the project do as well because it provides the means to accomplish our endeavors. That pleasant side effect of monetary profits will continue to be delivered as we achieve our primary goals. Certainly a wise investor can look beyond a candlestick chart. Much less, a few days of one. I think there was a Evergreen price speculation thread open once. Can you please inform the people to not spam here what they think the price will be? And to all new guys here welcome and don't hear on the speculations guys here that are only for fast profit here. We had people like that before and they all jumped away from EGC after they saw that the real longtime investors made a good profit, they are all coming like small ants and think they could make a fast profit here. They know very well their Nostradamus-wanna-be price guesses are unwelcome and obvious troll attempts. If they had any real knowledge or any investment advise that was worthwhile, would they need to force it on people for free? Their poor grammar and inability to construct complete sentences is the first clue they have nothing important to say. It is best not to stoop to their level, chuckle at the ignorance, and scroll past to find actual intellectual conversation. History will repeat and they will be proven the fools again. |
