Yes, May 21st was a log time ago. We had a hardfork since then. You do need to upgrade to version 1.3, as kiklo stated. After you upgrade to version 1.3 you can follow his well-documented steps to get up and running fast with his snapshot of the EGC blockchain.

Sorry to learn you missed the news of the mandatory upgrade to version 1.3 weeks ago.

Many thanks!

Thank you kindly, kiklo!

You are right, I don't want EGC in the limelight. I want EGC famous. In this set to explode industry as well. Which is one of the fastest growing industries and is perfect for crypto because banks and traditional financial institutions refuse to get with the times. Even in my slow-moving state of Ohio legislation is passing. We are very much on our way to decriminalizing and it is time for people to realize and accept that. With that will come safer production without the use of chemicals that may be harmful, for which the plant unjustly gets the blame of causing negative side effects.

The only thing I said, in what I presumed a private conversation mind you, was I did not want EverGreenCoin labeled 'another' 420/pot/cannabis/weedcoin. Something that I have been fighting since day 1 of this thread. EGC is for all things environmental and yes, a plant does fit that bill. I wanted to establish very well that EGC is not a scam nor fly-by-night nor another 'weedcoin' project. I feel I have done that and the time has come.

These efforts come from me and an investor and a very pivotal one at that. We have much more in the pipeline on this front. Some of which have never been done by another coin. All of which will bring new people and utility to EGC. Some of which is helping the project on other fronts also. No, I am not changing my focus or EGC's focus. This will be a separate 'branch' of EGC and managed by someone else day-to-day and reporting to and supervised by me. We are growing by leaps and bounds daily, not only in regards to the price but in the number of people involved as well. Our scope is and remains the environment. I am gaining the resources to serve all avenues of that scope.

No, I do not partake myself and this is not a personal endorsement but that does not mean I am blind enough to overlook the mounting medical evidence of the benefits nor the forthcoming markets and potential.

I feel the placement and timing of this are perfect for EverGreenCoin.

Shipping only to the USA. We are working on a resolution to that but, did want these in time for the Montana festival.

Another 'under the surface' task myself and contributing community members have been working on. This is only the tip of the iceberg of things to come on this front as we plan to, and will, shake the cannabis and medicinal marijuana industries in the coming months. This is just the first step of our inroads. More information and details to come.

Some EverGreenCoin investors and holders recently asked me to attend a meeting, which of course I was happy to do so. At the time I was not aware it would be recorded and published, but it has been. I had no idea of the questions and no notes prepared so, I apologize if my answers seem unprepared. Since they have published it, I see no reason why it can not be shared with the community. There is a small language barrier from accents with myself and some of the participants but, for the most part, the conversation is fluid. It is about half an hour long and might serve as some insight to all of you.

25W for Quark versus 40W for X11, perhaps that explains the hash rate staying consistent.

I did contact the seller of this device on skype (skype account baikalminer) and he did claim all the information displayed is accurate. No typos. Also, I did speak to someone that rented one of these devices and it did deliver the hash. Perhaps we may have jumped to a false accusation. But in this industry, it is wise to be careful.

Baikalminer, the seller, seemed very open and communicative if anyone wishes to discuss his product. Please do research on your own thoroughly before purchasing.

You are absolutely correct about disabling staking (staking=0) in the .conf and their response not making complete sense.

I advise all the community to not leave coins at any exchange. They are not your bank and your coins are exposed to far fewer risks by holding them yourself and in your own wallet(s). Just be smart, backup your wallet.dat file(s) and use common sense when choosing what software you install.

Sorry you got banned. Thank you for reporting this here, looking out for fellow traders/buyers, and your wishes of luck.

Yes, I wondered the same. Even with +/- 10% that looks suspicious. The physical size raises my eyebrow also. Seems very small to make anywhere near that hash. 12V 5A? hmmm

Maybe all that lines up if they did intend KH/S but, 150 KH/S is not worth $500 by a long shot.

I knew they would be coming soon. Yes, it is great our PoW was not centralized by such devices.

This is not Ohio, your view of our home may be different also but, sure the point is understood.

I kindly ask you all to submit a coin addition request for EGC to polo, if you have yet to do so.

Thank you in advance!

Hi adz4life, pleased to meet you.

The basic concept of EGC is to promote and support environmental causes and efforts and to be a global currency that does so. Cryptocurrencies have long robbed resources, we wish to pay that back. Ultimately, I do wish to have all our servers powered by solar and many of the wallets. We have the technology for a global interest bearing store of value and payment system that could use near zero finite resources. That is part of the vision but also solar mining farms. PoW mining other coins and the income use to support and promote environmental initiatives, we will leverage other coins and make them, in a round-about way, as green as EverGreenCoin. Which to the community members that have been around awhile, yes developments on that front have been transpiring and is one of my previously mentioned "below the surface" activities.

There are enormous pushes for clean energy and all things 'green' all around the globe, and rightfully so. There needs to be while there is time to alter our course. EGC is purposed and positioned to not only be a part of that but be an integral part of that.


Presently, where we are taking the project, which is only 6 months old now. Solar staking, solar mining farms, 'green' merchants, cannabis, deforestation repair, carbon, any environmental cause. Demand will also come when it is an accepted currency, see my response to your question #3.


Simply put and at this time, because it is evident we will not stop with the project. It is not a fly-by-night scam. It is a project with very serious commitments to long-term objectives. Some objectives that will never be fully achieved, because the environment will always need projects like EGC, pushing environmental causes further and harder.


No 'real world' usage as of yet but, our plan is to get on coinpayments.net. I have already introduced the project to many green merchants that eagerly await its addition. Prior to this step, we are trying to get added to polo. Addition to polo will certainly drive the price even higher. When coinpayments.net assesses the coin, we want market cap impressive. You can help right now by retweeting @polo. Thank you in advance if you do so.


We have amazing community members that are fully behind the coin, fully support new users, and bring to the table innovative ideas and many skills. The length of the thread does demonstrate how much community involvement EGC has. It is only 6 months old and twice as long as some projects that are years old. To answer, "how big?" might take some guess work which I would rather not make approximations but I can tell you it is growing very fast now. I just earlier ended a meeting with 58 investors that are going to take this coin very, very far. We are growing in leaps and bounds now and will only grow at a faster rate while the price climbs, services are added, and we make EGC famous. (Not make myself, I am actually quite shy.)


I sleep and eat occasionally but, I am very committed to this project and everything it stands for. Even during my 'day job' as an IT consultant, I am available for EGC and the EGC community. I am an environmental activist and a farmer and I do exercise that same needed devotion I have learned in those activities for EGC. My name is Steven Saxton, I live in Newton Falls, Ohio, USA. My skype is steven.saxton and you or anyone else is welcome to look me up anytime you wish there or any social media. I am very honest, open, accountable, and transparent. I am very proud of EGC and excited of where it is going. I did not start this project to get rich or even make income but rather to make a positive impact on both crypto and our planet.


I encourage you to read through this thread and our social media if you wish. You will find nothing but reiterations and examples of what I have presented to you. I do hope I answered your questions sufficiently. Do not hesitate to ask if you would like any elaboration.

Thank you for your questions and welcome to EverGreenCoin.

May I please get some retweets going at polo? https://twitter.com/EverGreenCoin_/status/759845153070866432
The louder we are, the more inclined they are to listen.

Many thanks!

Many thanks for your kind words and trust!

I just completed a meeting with a large group of investors who wanted to create a facebook group.
I invite you all to join if you wish, https://www.facebook.com/groups/evergreencoincurrency/

See you there!

Thanks abyaby, I am honored to have yours and others trust. It is certainly not misplaced.

You are correct, new investors have been coming, and in big ways. Some of these investors are in contact with me on a daily basis. They have big plans for EGC that are just starting. I keep trying to drop hints but of course, I do not want to coerce people with their investments and I am not a 'pushy' person by nature. It is still early dawn, let's call that a strong suggestion, not investment advice.

The EGC community is EGC's greatest asset and how EGC will truly blossom. Many ideas and contributions have come forward. Some of which are not yet public. Like I have said before, there are exciting things going on below the surface. Remember, I aim to make EGC famous, not popular. That said, I exercise much caution to not make promises until I know the goal can and will be archived. In some cases, other parties involved have asked for public nondisclosure. You are aware of the new website, David has big plans there. Please do not think we intend to have 'just a website.' In the weeks to come, EGC is going to have an amazingly robust web presence. Marketplace, support tickets, FAQ, to name a few. You are also aware of the solar miner. I understand and do share the desire to see that moving at a much faster rate. I am eagerly awaiting my CHIP so I can start testing and ultimately make a parts list and design the enclosure. I have opened communications with metal fabrication, plastic molding, and powder coating companies even a value added electronics distributor that will help me with soldering and assembly should production levels deem that necessary. They are all very willing to help me produce the product. My budget is small but I do personally know these business owners/managers and they are willing to work with me and extend me credit. Some have even committed to donating their service to help. Even with the limited budget, which mind you has to keep EGC's servers on and it undoubtedly will, I have a solid plan for the production phase once we overcome the design phase.

New ideas and new contributors are always very welcome. I do my very best to make everyone feel welcome so they will feel comfortable with both me and the community to present ideas, should they have any. Several members of the community are extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, for which I cannot thank enough. Together we will cultivate these ideas to fruition and have a positive impact on our planet and stand to make much profit while doing so.

As far as the strato project, I understand very well everyone may have a bit of a 'bad after taste' from failed launches. The project is a brilliant idea of Gabi's and because he is measuring the environment at altitude, is a very nice fit with EGC. We will have to bear with him and support him as we pay the prerequisite to success, failures. But you are correct, it should not impede other projects from sprouting and taking root.

As the price rises, the community will flourish bringing more and more hands, minds, and intentions. EGC is just a young sapling in the forest of coins. True, we have endured though much that many other coins have withered as a result, but our biggest growth spurts lay before us. But very much in sight.

We are all in, and very much a part of, this together and I thank you all for that.

No, I did not have an EGC sign. I did however get the chance to talk to a small group after the march about EGC. 2 people involved in making the march took my contact info and I theirs.

In regards to the price explosion, this is still just the dawn.
