There really is no max supply per se because of staking. True, 13 million EGC were generated from PoW mining. Now the only new EGC come from PoS of 7%. But this will continue forever. Mathematically, this COULD calculate to 910000 in the first year (7% of 13 mil) from this point but that will not happen as that would only happen if the 13 million sat completely unmoved and staking the entire year. The actual number the supply will increase has many variables and each of your wallets/coins play into those variables across the network. Every time coins are moved this equation is effected. Every time a wallet starts or stops staking effects the equation. To project the supply growth now would involve making some serious assumptions, flat out guesses perhaps, and can not be precisely done. But it would be far less than 910000 per year for many years to come. But the total supply will always increase by a maximum of 7%, but certainly less. Some year in the very distant future, it will top 910000 per year, but still will not be more than 7%, as this is cumulative.

It is really quite fascinating when you think about it. To answer the original question, yes the EGC supply at present (~13 million) is less than BTC supply at present (~15.2 million as of February).

There, now PoW is over! Thank you miners and pool operators!   

Technically, this is the last PoW block.

You are right GizFreak, they are finally in motion!! They responded to one of my four open tickets on this matter as well!



Promising news!

Many thanks bitdragon! It was a good read and a good introduction to and overview of EverGreenCoin. I hope many people gain insight to EGC via your blog and become treetopers themselves.

Nice work!

Yes joinfree, your artwork is always greatly appreciated. Good job! Many thanks! Once again!

Under 24 hours of PoW remain, ~20 hours at the time of this writing.

I just did some quick math and made some estimations. Looks like total PoW supply will be just over 13 million. 13019651.33... is the figure I came up with.

True, GAME does appear to have a robust ecosystem and is farther ahead in that regard, as you state. However; upon review of their thread, I am finding a lot of broken links so one would question how maintained the project is. Vital links; such as wallets (android) and block explorer to name two, though I suspect I could find more. Perhaps also the allure of gaming is one the present crypto audience finds more attractive and arguably an easier niche to gain support, involvement, and even funding in. It is scrypt algo also. But, again, it does appear to be robust and mature, hats off to the devs and community. I wish them luck, but I am not a gamer myself. Though I will see if my scrypt asic can turn a quick GAME-buck this day, once their wallet compiles.

Yes, sometimes I feel price is the only yardstick a lot measure with. We all know, and have seen even with EGC to some degree, how fast that can change. With that in mind, maybe we give it more weight then in deserves. But perhaps the present crypto audience, with all due respect, has some tunnel vision in that regard. That said, I too am guilty of dreaming I will sell a few million dollar pizzas some day.

Correct, no present real world utility as of yet. The strato EGC and some un-developed similar arrangements are efforts to drive some demand. But as you know, these are just drops in the demand-bucket that a payment processing gateway could quicker fill. An important thing to note is EGC has come this far, and certainly will go farther, without having the luxury of simply being able to buy their way to such services. If our past persistence is any indicator, we will get there with or without the shortcuts.

Yes, thank you Port. In fact, any of the older wallets will not work for they cannot communicate with the proper blockchain any longer. They have been locked out.

If you are running any version besides v1.3 you must upgrade! Your earlier version wallets are obsolete and can not communicate with the real EGC blockchain any longer. If you have already upgraded, please be sure to delete your old versions so you do not mistakenly launch any of these older versions.

If you are on YoBit please assist me and EverGreenCoin by urging them to upgrade. Often times with these matters, the more complaints they hear the greater the likelihood they will act. Thank you very much for your help with this.

On a different note, I have been in contact with Staisybit today to let them know the hard fork has passed and the network is reliable. I am still waiting for the response but, EGC will be added in the near future. Certainly I will formally announce that when it does happen.

On a different and even better note, Cryptopia is confirmed to be on the proper blockchain. I do not know when they did this as they have not communicated to me but, I just did a test and all is well!

Cheers!

Yes, that is absolutely correct. When PoW ends the only new generated EGC that will come into circulation will be from peoples' PoS rewards of 7% APR.

As of the time of this writing, we have 2.68190128 days left of PoW based on the past 24 hours (2732 blocks).

Chrome does prevent a lot of downloads. I use Internet Explorer to download these files as it does not complain and prevent the download. It is the only reason I ever use IE other than just testing things to work cross browsers.

For Windows Defender on Windows 10, you can just press the start button, type "Windows Defender", wait for it to find it, then click it. Or it can be found Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Defender. Then on that screen, scroll down a bit and you will see "Exclusions". Select that and you will see how you can add a file and/or folder to be excluded. Alternatively, you could just turn Windows Defender off completely and let common sense be your anti-virus.

If your machine abruptly stops, hard reboot or power outage, while the wallet was running it could corrupt the copy of the blockchain. This may happen if it is writing a block at the time of the power loss. A resync is needed after this. It does not seem that was your situation, you killed the power when it was not writing a block. I just mention it so you and others are aware.

Sorry to learn your having a rough go of it. Don't worry, we have all been there or soon will. Don't let it get you frustrated. Soon you will be enjoying your new machine, once you get the wrinkles ironed out and learn your way around Windows 10.

Best of luck and I hope my tips are found helpful!

Hi bitdragon2016,

That is great and kind of you to do. I will PM you so we can discuss details.

Many thanks!

Yes. Close the wallet. Replace the peers.dat in the data directory with this one: http://evergreencoin.org/peers.dat
Relaunch the wallet and allow it to run its course.

I see nothing suspicious on the seednodes' log files.

I have posted a copy of my peers.dat from my local machine with 42 connections (yes, I have picked up another connection since my last post) at http://EverGreenCoin.org/peers.dat if you wish to try that.

I just now tested one of my VM wallets that has not been synced in many days and it synced fine and already found 14 connections from the seednodes. It should really find connections from the DNS seednodes if no .conf file connects or addnodes are present.

Interesting. Hmmm, I have 41 connections and just rebooted my machine and restarted my wallet last night before I went to sleep.



I will do some investigating of log files on the seednodes now. At first glance they look fine as well, 45 and 47 connections on the two evergreencoin seednodes. I have asked Crysx to glance at the Granite ones although we suspect they will be operating fine as well.

As of now, I suggest leaving your wallet open.

EDIT: Granite seednodes look fine as well, 36 to 39 connections on Crysx's end.

Thanks for the kind words Joe! I do not want the EGC Foundation negatively impacted from these recent issues and I will sooner absorb any costs myself. The EGC Foundation's coins will be used for much more suited purposes such as promotions such as paper wallet giveaways and others, loading solar miners, and possibly rebating and/or discounting purchases in the near future.

Truth be told, everything I mine has and will continue to go towards supporting EGC, the EGC Foundation, and our environmental objectives. Never personal gain.

I am very public in all that I do and could never abandon my fellow community members. Not hiding behind an alias, which I do understand there are personal reasons some people must, is one way I try to prove accountability and establish trust. I hope time has proven and will continue to prove that this trust is not misplaced. Of course people will be skeptical in this industry and I can not say I blame them given all the wrong that takes place. Time will sift out the scam artists and reveal peoples true intentions.

I am very glad of my choice to greet all community members with open arms. For you Joe especially, this choice has been a wise one as you and others have proved to be amazing resources and contributors. A developer is nothing without a community. A community can still thrive without a developer. For that reason I believe, "community greater than dev." In many ways I view the community as my boss.

There is so much to be gained from this technology beyond trading tokens. We are only at the infancy and perhaps we just need to make it through these growth pains. I am personally more interested in the social impacts this can have on this world. I will do my small part to make certain those impacts are positive ones.

Thanks for holding and being a valuable resource to EverGreenCoin, Joe!

So the community is aware and to maintain the Foundation's transparency, these coins were refunded from my own personal mined EGC and not by the EGC Foundation. The Foundation still has not had to cover any coins but is in the position to if need be when exchanges' (yobit and cryptopia) conduct internal audits if discrepancies are found.

I am sorry to see any community member leave, and presumably dump their holdings, as a result of the network's recent woes. But of course I respect their right to do so and will make every effort to get coins where they rightfully belong. The que of these issues is clear at present. If you feel you have an issue that needs my attention, please do not hesitate to PM me with the details and I will work with you to find the appropriate resolution. Far more times than not, these issues have been resolved by a resync to the proper blockchain and/or a simple 'repairwallet' command.

Thank you for your interest and welcome to the EverGreenCoin community!
