Good day Ladies (
and Gents)
It has been a while since my last update. I hope all of you are doing well.
Here is a quick update about some things that are on my plate:
Canada eCoin Community Business and Bounty DirectoryI would like to offer a sneak peek of our Canada eCoin Community Business and Bounty Directory. Canadians can find local places to buy/sell/spend/earn crypto currencies as well as earn some eCoins by completing bounties and/or submitting resturants/stores that accept crypto or by enhancing our dataset by uploading pictures and reviews.
This webapp is currently pre-beta and has only yet been populated with a small selection of ATM machines across Canada. We are looking for testers to try it out give feedback and suggestions on the front end as well as a couple node/meteor devs that might want to join in and help us continue to develop it out.
In a nutshell, the directory is not only a place to search through public data (like ATM machines, exchanges, events, merchants and such), but will also be a hub for digital introductions where the participants as individuals can come together to create their own adhoc (personal and private) networks of trusted peers; based on their own connections/resources.
This directory is a single example instance/component to a larger (self-hosted/self-centralized) methodology where peers buy/sell/ask/bid on any asset, product and service available from within their own trusted network of peers.
The longterm goal here is to create a downloadable dapp where any person can seed any number of their own digital groups or communities, public or private. Members of these decentralized communities can join, publish bounties and business listings to the public directory; then, during their interaction with respondants (if they have been suitabily introduced to one another), can swap keys and carry on doing business outside of the central directories and inside of any anhoc p2p/chatter/chain that best fits their needs.
Remember, it is impossible to delete cloud data with any kind of confidence, and your host may already be compromised. Taking on a self-hosted/self-centralized methodology in regards to your personal data and digital interactions is imperative.
https://canadaecoin.directoryThe Canada eCoin Community Foundation / Fondation de la communauté du Canada eCoin As we move forward into the future, we are excited to establish a non-profit organisation to be the overseer of the community based apps/sites that we produce. The Canada eCoin Community Foundation will be responsible for maintaining consensus within the community and create structure which will allow us to establish a chain-of-command in regards to ownership/responsibility of our resources.
https://canadaecoin.foundationOur YouTube Channel We have created a new youtube channel for posting content about our community and crypto education in general. I have posted 1 video response to our reddit AMA and am getting ready to post video explainers about crypto in general. Once we get the process down to a science, we will be posting weekly videos. ( animators: we need you )
youtube.com/channel/UCrb_30cLYDvuWjOuNLTwTLQWhy Canada eCoin? I recently posted a blog post on canadaecoin.site about why I think you should care about the Canada eCoin project. Please give it a read thru when you get a minute. The post is available at
why.ourcoin.caWill you join us?Whether or not your are Canadian, please consider supporting our work. As we focus our time and efforts onto solving crpyto related problems at our national level, we create solutions that don't apply to a global audience; but any progress we make here at the Canada eCoin project can (and should) be applied to _your_ own national coin, join us in our discord channel and let us know you are on board. A list of National Coins is available at

discord.gg/whZ8gB5 Ask for Canada eCoin at your favourite exchangeAs you might be aware, Cryptopia has been disabled and they were hosting our main markets. This has affected our Coin Market Cap listing which was recently disabled. In order to fix this, we need to find some more exchanges for CDN. If you think The Canada eCoin would be a good fit on your favourite exchange, please ask them to list us. If you would rather we reach out to your favourite exchange, please let me or another eCoiner know, either here or in our discord channels.
Until next time, stay safe and have fun,
Peace and Love
