ANN-EMC2 Einsteinium FUNDING THE FUTURE WITH THE FUTURE OF CURRENCY KMD-dPoW

[matauc12]

What kind of projects/funding for scientist are in mind?

I am not gonna spill the beans, but I feel it's been   a while since people heard about funding.

From what I understand, the goal is the advancement through science. So essentially any science project that demonstrate that getting funding will help the world move forward from either fixing a problem or finding something new.

I believe the goal is also to funds areas in need. Making a donation to a pharmaceutical company to develop a magic pill for cancer, as great as it would sound, is probably not the best investment because its an area where funding isn't the problem.

There is an excellent project currently in the pipelines, and I believe you won't have to wait much longer to hear about it. Personally, I'm thrilled to see Emc2 reaching for its goals once again.

funding for a good cause is a great thing.

[Armis]

Inkha and MadGhost you are both invited to help us find worthy scientific causes to fund.  It could be as small as sponsorship of a youtube channel that focuses on science, or science fairs, or cutting-edge science research.  

If you think someone is deserving, tell them to contact us, or you give us their info and we'll contact them.

The following was written to the Opal community, it may also pertain to members of our community and many other communities: 


"ATTENTION PLEASE READ ASAP

We found that a user (diabanhxeo ID# 210031) posted a malicious post which included links to a hacked version of our wallet. This wallet installed a backdoor on some users computers which in turn stole their wallet.dat files from multiple coins. Through checking him out, we see he has posted many links to other coins's wallets, which we assume are also malicious.

If you downloaded the latest windows wallet from this thread, that was part of a reply and not our original post. Please scan your computer now for malware. Only download the wallet from our website opal-coin.com and not any other links in the thread. The source of the wallet should only be from "wallets.opal-coin.com" and no other domain.

We apologize for any inconvenience. We are dedicated to our community.

Thanks,

On Nov. 20th The Einsteinium Foundation was presented with an opportunity to fund the following science research project:

http://www.neuroscientistnews.com/research-news/memory-problems-caused-sleep-deprivation-prevented
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/grv2is4anmajn4d/AAAu-6uCJ4QanyQL89mq4Q5ca?dl=0

After a cursory examination of the facts I commissioned a Vetting Committee to determine if the project was a good fit for the foundation.

Yesterday the board received a favorable recommendation from the chairman of the committee, recommendation indicated in part:

"After much deliberation and research into our potential science project funding, I am officially recommending the following:

R.Havekes, Ph.D.
University of Pennsylvania
Department of Biology
Research Associate, Ted Abel laboratory
Smilow Center for Translational Research 10th Floor, Room 171
3400 Civic Center Blvd Bldg 421
Philadelphia, PA 19104-5158

... Some of Robbert's work:http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/news/penn-led-team-prevents-memory-problems-caused-sleep-deprivation"


The matter is now before the board for final consideration, we will address the following:

1)  Does the project received board approval?

2)  If so, what is the minimum amount of the award?

and

3)  Do we offer crowd funding resources?


Not up for consideration:

1)  if the project is approved, and if crowd funding is not selected, the grant will be paid with EMC2 currency,
and
2)  if the project is approved, no request will be made to the EMC2 community for additional funds of any kind,


Crowd Funding
I believe crowd funding is a great resource for EMC2, and I believe it can make the difference between a good grant and a great grant however I also know how much work goes into a good campaign.  If the board approves the project and authorizes crowd funding, and if the applicant agrees with the terms of the crowd funding campaign the project stands a great chance of receiving more funds than the applicant targeted, as well as more funds than we otherwise could afford.

If we crowd fund projects it will provide a great level of exposure (with positive impressions) for EMC2, the project, and the applicant as well.   I know how difficult it is to get volunteers so I will create reasonable and responsible financial incentives that will kick-in at specific success levels of campaign.

Ok, the next step will be to look at port forwarding http://portforward.com/

Essentially, you will need to assign a static (local) IP to your PC and forward the client port (41878) in your routing tables, to the machine.

p.s. I'm assuming you have looked at the obvious causes of this issue such as Antivirus & Firewalls?

[Armis]

Oh, wow, I just noticed that Cryptsy increased their rates.  When did that start?

[edit] whooooooooah, the pricing structure is a "minimum" of .25% if the coin is a low volume coin the rate could go as high as .33%

see info at: https://www.cryptsy.com/pages/fees

Fees as of 12/15/2014

Base Market Fees

These are the base market fees for buy and sell orders on our markets. Fees vary depending on the Average Day Volume over the last 14 days of a market (in BTC). Markets newer than 14 days will automatically be given best fee rates. Higher fees on lower volume markets will help us maintain them longer without risk of delisting.

Avg Daily Volume   Fee (Buy & Sell)
0.0 - 0.5 BTC   0.33%
0.5 - 1.0 BTC   0.31%
1.0 - 5.0 BTC   0.29%
5.0 - 20.0 BTC   0.27%
20.0+ BTC   0.25%

User Trade Fee Discounts by Trade Volume

These are the discounts given to individual users based on their total trade volume of the previous 14 days. Discounts increase as trade volume increases. For example: A verified user with a 14 day total trade volume of over 1000 BTC in a market with an average daily volume of over 20 BTC will pay only 0.10% trade fees (0.25% - 0.15% = 0.10%)

14 Day Trade Volume   Verified User Discount   Unverified User Discount
0 - 2 BTC   0.005%   No discount
2 - 10 BTC   0.010%   0.005%
10 - 100 BTC   0.020%   0.010%
100 - 300 BTC   0.050%   0.025%
300 - 1000 BTC   0.100%   0.050%
1000+ BTC   0.150%   0.075%

Market Maker Rebates

Cryptsy has changed the way we classify a market maker. Market maker rebates are no longer automatic. Users who wish to be classified as market makers can contact our support team. We will evaluate requests on a case-by-case basis.


Balance Rebates

Balance rebates are offered to our verified users only. If you are a verified user, then you are automatically enrolled.

What Are Balance Rebates?

Balance rebates are a cut of our collected trade fees for users who hold balances in certain currencies on our exchange. Currently the currencies we collect fees on are BTC, LTC, XRP, and USD. Verified users who have a balance in these currencies will be included in the pool of users who get a daily rebate in the same currency.

How Much Will I Earn in Balance Rebates?

We pay a 2% rebate. Balance calculations include available and held for order balances. So even if all your funds are held for open orders, they are included in the calculation.

So for example: We collect 10 BTC in trade fees in a day. This leaves 0.2 BTC available for rebates (2%). If you had 100 BTC on account and between all users the sum of all balances of verified users was 5,000 BTC, then you would receive 2% of the total rebate for that day. In this case that would be a 0.004 BTC daily rebate. Balances and rebates are calculated and distributed separately for each of the BTC, LTC, XRP, and USD currencies.

Greeting Einsteinium Community,

It is with great joy that the Einsteinium Foundation announce its newest science research grant winner: Dr. Robbert Havekes, Ph.D

Dr. Havekes is a scientist associated with the University of Pennsylvania.  His science research project is focused on "trying to figure out how sleep loss causes cognitive problems and, importantly, how to prevent the problems".   His work on this particular project is featured here: http://www.neuroscientistnews.com/research-news/memory-problems-caused-sleep-deprivation-prevented

Here is his video application: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/grv2is4anmajn4d/AAAu-6uCJ4QanyQL89mq4Q5ca?dl=0

After the Vetting Committee chaired by Varvarin determined that Dr. Havekes and this science research project was a good fit for the Einsteinium foundation, the board voted.    The board unanimously determined the following:

1) to approve the project for an Einsteinium Foundation grant,
2) to fix a sum of one million EMC2 to that grant award,
and
3) to offer Dr. Havekes the option to allow us to spearhead a
public crowd funding campaign that would likely provide greater
exposure for his project, himself, our cause, and our currency.

Dr. Havekes was appreciative of the award and welcomed the opportunity for us to organize a crowd funding campaign on his behalf.

Crowd funding details will follow shortly.

[Varvarin]

Congratulations to Dr. Havekes and his lab.

EMC2 Community wishes the research and the campaign a great deal of success. Spread the word, get involved, involve your friends, post ideas, comment .. and so on 

[djnocide]

It's been a long time since the community had a project to fund. Let's make this a success

[einsteinium]

Einsteinium was created with 3 critical missions in mind:  

1) Goodwill Mission
2) Increase Valuation Mission
and
3) The Philanthropic Mission

Our Goodwill Mission is to tell everyone in the cryptocurrency world, the scientific world, and the charity world that we are here.   Our Increase Valuation Mission is to preserve and increase the public market value of our currency such as to make it an attractive investment opportunity.  And, our Philanthropic Mission is to, in some small way, fund scientific research.  

This project -- The Havekes Project (named after Dr Havekes), will benefit the grant recipient, but it will also help in the redevelopment of Einsteinium (the coin, foundation, and community).

In an effort to maximize community participation and performance Dr. Havekes has authorized the following graduated incentives:

The foundation guaranteed a minimum of $1M EMC2 equal to ~$500.   If the crowd funding campaign received more than 1M EMC2 (~$500) from outside of foundation resource the foundation would be reimbursed for initial deposits.  The financial incentives are activated when the campaign reaches $1000:

At level 1 the goal is $1,000  up to $1999, at this level EMC2 will receive 10% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

At level 2 the goal is $2,000  up to $4999, at this level EMC2 will receive 15% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

At level 3 the goal is $5,000  up to $9999, at this level EMC2 will receive 20% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

At level 4 the goal is $10,000  up to $49,999, at this level EMC2 will receive 22% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

At level 5 the goal is $50,000  or more EMC2 will receive 25% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

The campaign staff for the Havekes project are:

- The Fundraising Committee - to generate funds for the campaign  
- The Communications Committee - to keep the media well informed  
- The Marketing Committee - to tell everyone else to support the effort  
- The Finance committee - to oversee the finances  

The amount paid to EMC2 above any reimbursement, site fees, paypal fees, and perks not covered by sponsors, will be allocated as follows:
20% to the chairman of the fundraising committee, 20% to the top producer, 18% to the runner-up, and the balance of incentive funds will be shared equally between the remaining registered paid campaign workers (the remaining members of the Fundraising Committee, the Communications Committee chair, the Marketing Committee chair, and the Treasurer).

The President will oversee all operations and be acting Treasurer, he will appoint the Fundraising Committee Chair, Communications Committee Chair, and the Marketing Committee Chair.   All other members of the Fundraising Committee are self-appointed, the roll is open until the close of appointments.   Once we start the campaign no new names will be added to the list of paid campaign associates.

Please indicate if you would like to be involved with the campaign and to what extent, everyone will be considered.

Job descriptions will be detailed shortly.

Varvarin,
Thanks for your help! I did all what you suggested. It's not just I am only EMC2 wallet; but I have other wallets too and was able to eventually fix the sync problem.

In this case, I give up now. I cannot get EMC2 sync.
