I have heard they grow fast. But this just can't be, Gabi.

 

p.s. thanks for the article!

EDIT: Don't think my baby doesn't keep me and wake me up at night also!

Thanks for the well wishes TheTribesman! It is good to know the love of our planet is universal. I am following your thread and social media now and will fully support Kobocoin.

Best wishes in return!

I had been in the trollbox, more than I wish to be in one, urging attention the past few days also. Of course, my tickets are still open and unanswered.

Thanks for helping to keep the pressure on them.

Your purchase might slightly offset but, no, not cancel out. Please recycle your old tires through proper channels. Most communities and cities do offer tire recycling. Tire merchants also will recycle your old tires at a minimal charge. The profit you gain from your EGC would easily cover that expense.

I doubt your motorcycle would burn much coal.

Thank you for taking the time to reporting that, frostminer!

Thank you so very much for the kind words tinaken_v. I for one certainly remember that post, as I do every post. I can, more times than not, know who even deletes a post and what post they removed when one has been removed. I take communication to the community very seriously. I know there are fellow humans here that have invested in this project, and in many ways, invested in my word. I take that obligation seriously, personally, and am so proud when people learn I honor it.

EverGreenCoin is not only "a coin", but rather an encapsulation of the full-hearted commitment to our environment and everything within it, ourselves and our best interests included. I am so happy to see branches already starting to form on the sapling that is EverGreenCoin I planted just several months ago. After all, we are still in the first season of growth. At present rate, EverGreenCoin is going to be a towering giant in the forest before year 1 by many measures, price included, but more importantly the positive impact on our world. That is the value I strive for, price is a pleasant side effect that further enables those efforts. That cycle of self feeding is building great energy now.

My strategy has been quite simple: 1) Work hard. I eat, sleep, and live EGC the vast majority of my days, like a parent to a child must. Don't stop learning ways to work more efficiently. 2) Be honest in all ways, including plans, the progress, and the unfortunate pitfalls. True, somethings demand secrecy but, like a gift on Christmas morning, the secrecy is in the best intentions. 3) Treat everyone and everything as I would treat myself. 4) Persistence. Forward. Always.

In this project I have done my very best to convey my personal convictions. My heart warms when I hear accolades like a parent's must at an award ceremony. I guess I would make a demanding parent, as my ambitions only see how far this can go.

Thank you all! Again with the child analogy, it takes a tribe to raise one!

An update for the community on the new website being developed. David is actively working on it. We had a 2 hour-long meeting yesterday to discuss it, set its primary objectives of the first roll-out, site navigation, integration of the explorer/faucet/support, discuss implementation and domains, some forthcoming advertising that we are waiting to do after the new site launches, and discuss some of the business and legal sides of EGC. Based on the legal side discussion, I am actively seeking legal advice on whether I should incorporate or form a non-profit. It is evident EGC is about to go through some serious growth. I want to be sure both myself, EGC, the EGC Foundation, and other parties are protected and nothing sneaks up on the project to hinder it. If anyone in the community has any legal insight on that, please PM me.

Both my absence of a week to Philadelphia and personal issues of David's had slowed the progress by a large gap without meetings but things are in full swing now. Below is just a few of the many images David has done, none of which are final by any means. I only wish to show the community actual work has begun and we are beyond the "only discussion" phase.

Hi spartak_t,

We had to change the VPS for the block explorer early on. It took some time to both do that and then get coinmarketcap to update to pull accurate coin supply. I do not think that data is 100% accurate, but be that as it may, March would have only been half way through the 6 month PoW which only recently ended about a month ago. So constant selling from miners only recently stopped.

We also had to hard fork because of some unintentional forks forming on the network a week before the end of PoW which, some large holders decided to sell during that turbulent time. Perhaps many did, unfortunately. Fortunately many are now coming back after the coin did prove to endure.

I understand it may look like a pump. This is a really exciting time for the project and we have many active endeavors soon to be released: new website including support tickets, android wallet, hopefully polo soon, sponsorships of a cannabis festival (a new branch only just forming of EGC), all within the next 30 days and that is only the stuff publically announced. The project has many new investors across the globe and we are planning, as of tonight, to expand that into China also. (the community will just now be learning of this)

I am not "disagreeing" with anything you have said spartak_t. Only explaining some things that a brief observation of the project might not see. I am glad you agree the 7% is not low and I hope you do not think it is too high. At the time I set the specs, 5% seemed to be an accepted norm and I hoped to raise the holding incentive some.

Thank for sharing your observations spartak_t and thank you for taking the time to read my response.

Thank you for taking the initiative to do this kiklo. I am very curious to see what responses and opinions are posted.

The value EGC seeks to gain is only helping their tree planting efforts in anyway.

On ecosia's side, I thought it would be helpful to them by rewarding searches with, not only the satisfaction of helping the tree planting efforts, but also a (very) small amount of EGC. Of course, this idea would involve much work as some sort of registration would need to happen to associate searches with an EGC address to send the "compensation", if you will, to. After the one time registration on the search engine, a cookie could remain persistent on the device so as to not slow future searches and still maintain the rewarding of the search.

I feel people would and do use ecosia for the feel good of helping the efforts. But, like you said, might quickly jump to a larger search engine once that feeling is established. I would argue that not only might this bring added traffic that will give them more funding for development to enrich the experience but it expands this good feeling to not only include helping tree planting efforts, but helping one's self. This helping of one's self would keep traffic returning.

The fact is, it would take development time and resources on ecosia's end. Of course, EGC is willing to donate the EGC to supply this and help with development in any way ecosia staff would permit or request. Again, the only thing EGC seeks is the pride, and yes, exposure of helping their efforts.

I also share this passion, Joe. Watching fruits/veggies and field crops grow is amazingly intriguing to me. As cheesy as it may sound, it is like witnessing miracles everyday when I observe progress.

When we do get EGC accepted for seeds, I hope it's non-GMO seeds. That is, if our backwards government here in the states doesn't remove GMO labeling from seeds also.

It would be amazing if you could help, starmman. Yes, as Gabi said, ecosia caught our attention early after launch.

It is very much on topic, no need to apologize. EGC would be very proud to be involved with ecosia.

In case any faucet goers are curious to why the reduction in payment, with all the attention EGC has been getting, the faucet has been very busy. I do inspect the entries before launching the script that sends payments for anomalies that deem removal. After that, I use the number of what now are presumed to be valid entries to determine the individual payout amount. I do use the foundation's coins for faucet payouts and I do not want to greatly deplete the foundation's funding ever 24 hours. Even at the lowest payout amounts, the faucet is still covering many future tx fees for visitors. I hope the community does view that as fair and reasonable as I do.

Many thanks! Your payment is en route!

बहुत धन्यवाद

A friendly reminder, if you wish to have one of these shirts shipped to you outside of the United States, please do contact me soon so we can make arrangements. I do want to make only one order and help as many people as possible to get these shirts. These shirts can be further customized (front, back, and sleeves) via customink at additional costs.

I will be placing my order, including the already arranged international orders, mid-week this coming week.

So the community is aware and to underline my willingness to help community members in all ways possible, Bigs has brought and continued this conversation privately with me and I am doing everything within my power to get his coins where they rightfully belong, in his wallet and control.

Lots of these posters hit the mail today, sporting our well-placed EGC logo.

EGCC (EverGreenCoinCannabis) is also in the process of planning to attend, sponsor, and rent booths at other cannabis events. Details to follow. We also have other, yet to be public, strategic inroads to this industry. I promise you, in a short time, all of the cannabis industry will be learning of EverGreenCoin and in ways that will surprise you.

Please like EGCC on facebook and feel free to contribute. The page is already filling with interesting, truthful, and educational information.

Thank you Zollkron and welcome back!
