I just wanted to clear something up
You criticized me for alerting others there was something wrong with Cryptorush. These are your own words
"It is online? Of course nothing has happened to the coin itself. Do you understand how damaging it is having an open question such as this left here for any length of time? Perhaps worth contacting me with a private message for such questions in the future. The network and coin are fine."
The you follow up with
"I am very sorry if you have suffered a BTC loss. I myself managed to most of my altcoins off there yesterday and today, and never held any BTC there. I dont think your CARB are in any danger. I have had access intermittantly today, but now looks like they are upgrading so might be a while before they are back up again."
To me this is highly irregular and unethical to be attacking those who were trying to alert others of any potential problems, yet your are secretly draining your accounts there. WTF
We are all supportive of your efforts, but you are not the school teacher telling a class full of student what to do.
You also have not answered fully my question that the land owner will most likely be eligible to claim carbon credits or money for all the trees we are paying to plant through donations. So he gets the trees planted fro free and keeps all the income. Should a proportion of that income be used to plant more trees or support Carbon Coin itself.
Like I said many of are supportive of what you are doing, however act with a bit of maturity and most of all transparency.
Kind Regards

Yeah thanks for this. If my response verges on rude at any point please excuse me, these accusations have actually got under my skin.
I am working
full time at this to actually try to turn it into something, and someone fecklessly banding questions about whether or not the coin is still functional on the grounds that an exchange is having difficulties, is not something that I am prepared to entertain.
It is a quantum leap to jump from an exchange issue to a coin issue, and the community needed to be put right on what you had said while at the height of worrying about loss, which I am fully aware is a painful experience.
Well done for alerting people to the problems with our then only exchange, which were very public. You'd have thought anyone in the community wishing to access their account on cryptorush might have noticed that they couldn't log on. Our twitter campaign managed to get a new exchange very recently, thank you for all of your help with that.
You are now able to get back online on Cryptorush by the looks of things and remove your coins if you wish. You were responding to hype and in so doing damaging my work, and that of the rest of the community who actually contribute. I was completely within my rights to respond the way that I did, as you would be to defend yourself if you had acted with sense.
You will notice that lots of developers on this forum use pseudonyms, this is nothing new. This particular message is not supportive of my efforts in any way. You could have spent the time trying to achieve something material for the community. If I choose to remain anonymous here that is my business. You could be lying about your "real" name, just so you know.
I have had to handle some pretty massive objections and accusations on this thread (many of which have fallen silent once they realised the truth was on my side) since I launched with the carbon offsetting campaign (and was taken pretty close to giving up by these at times).
I reduced my holdings at Cryptorush because the exchange was in difficulty, I perceived risk and acted sensibly, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Incidentally I perceived no threat to carboncoin so left those pretty much as is.
What possible advantage do you think I could have gained by attempting to stop others from withdrawing their funds? At the time I posted "It is online?",
it was online. If you interpret that as explicit advice to keep your funds there, and then accuse me of some ill-considered not-even-possible foul play for personal gain then frankly you should GFY (? - not really up on my acronyms), or failing that you might apologise. To think I was actually genuinely sympathetic about your possible loss...
Now with regards to your actual question: we are not double counting our carbon offset (claiming offset against more than one scheme at a time), which would be lying and not to mention bad for the environment, which my objective here is to try to help. The 2300 tress we have devoted to offsetting Carboncoin are devoted to that and nothing else, for that matter not one member of the community has actually expressed any gratitude for that investment.
We are not claiming carbon credits back for our own independent carbon offsetting project, we will be offering carbon offsetting as a service and having nothing to do with the existing channels, neither do we want any. I have no interest in contributing to the projects of the establishment, I am very happy to leave them to it and wish them every success.
The landowners get the trees planted on condition that the forestry is
maintained as permanent, and we neither have to pay to purchase the land, nor for the planning already exists - a major advantage in terms of both time and money. I have disclosed the whereabouts of the site, I have disclosed the complete cost to planting of a sapling, including the necessary care they require and all things like grow tubes etc. This offsetting project is coming in significantly cheaper than other carbon offsetting schemes because, besides other things, there are no middlemen.
I am taking crypto donations
all the proceeds of which will be going to planting saplings. Some forestry commissions will offer sponsorship to forestry projects, and every step will be taken to ensure that any such schemes directly enable us to plant more trees. I will be broadcasting how many trees we manage to plant with the funding far and wide - the higher this number the happier I will be. My immediate objective is planting enough trees to offset the whole of cryptocurrencies, after that any excess funds will be used to support other projects to directly help the planet and the atmosphere.
Transparency is my absolute goal as I have stated several times.
I am not trying to be the school teacher telling everyone what to do. However I have led, and am leading the efforts with this coin and if you want to help, great; if not, then you know what to do.
There are people actually participating in things like writing to exchanges and the like, there are people helping with websites, there are people retweeting things on twitter - this is adding material value to what we are doing. The only thing the above message has achieved is making me late for the first social engagement I have been able to attend for a substantial amount of time, because of working on Carboncoin of all things.
