[ANN][GRE] GreenCoin | On Bittrex now!

[allcoinminer]

Any updates to the discussions with exchanges Bittrex and Cryptsy?

[iHashFury]

Allcoinminer, iHashFury - you can be the first two 0.1 BTC recipients. Per the rules I will send once you have five readings (which takes a minimum of five days). I will need a BTC addy for iHashFury.

Best miner I will ever have https://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/pv/public_systems/SMDV162758 

It even makes electric!

How's it looking for being listed on Bittrex?

Working on this. Discussed a payment for this in the past, so now it's just a matter of seeing what they say.

Right on! Keep up the great work!

We are considering initiating an affiliate program to help GreenCoin expand and grow. Currently how GreenCoin works:

A block award is split between the Foundation and the winning miner 50%/50%. All of the Foundation's 50% awarded coins are given to Producers daily based on their net carbon offset as calculated by the foundation (currently 0.481 kg CO2 per kWh solar electricity and 7.167 kg CO2 per gallon pure biofuel).

The affiliate program would work as follows:
- The 50% split for miner/Foundation remains the same (this is hard coded into the coin)
- The Foundation would award 90% of the coin directly to Producers as is done now, and 10% to Affiliates in a 3 Tiered system. A direct referral (Tier 1) receives 6% of their referred's production coins, a secondary referral (the referred of your referred) you would receive 3% of their Production coins, and 1% for Tier 3.
- All Producers will become Affiliates by default, however, an Affiliate-Only is a new type of user that can receive coins. This is the first type of user that is not a miner or Producer that can receive coins. However, we feel that incentivizing Affiliates to expand the network is a very good use of coins.

We welcome feedback. Given the community is still rather small I think we can come to an accord on whether this is a good idea and good use of future coins, and can move forward based on that feedback. We have 16 producers so a majority of 9 votes is needed to implement the system. The Foundation officially recommends implementing the new system. There will be a cost involved however, and I am currently looking into the costs (so what I am saying here is even if the system gets voted in, I might not be able to afford it but I'm trying my best. GRE has already cost me >$20k.)

Having an affiliate program sounds like a good idea to me!  I think that having incentive payments for anything that helps improve the environment, reduce pollution, and promote the shift to clean sustainable energy fits.

I have been working out of my house and biking as much as possible to try to reduce my carbon footprint – I'm not sure if that counts towards the type of things that might qualify for affiliate payments but I might be interested if the program is started.

I'm trying to promote alt coins in general by getting involved in the communities and trying things like proof of biking (PoB).  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=820255 The ideas was to get a donation pot of coins together that bike riders could earn.  I think the next step might be to develop an android application that adds coin weight to coin blocks based on the time a person spends riding a bike or hiking.  I'm not sure of how exactly this would work but I'm just throwing it out there for ideas.   Perhaps affiliate payments could be based partially on PoB block rewards – is an android wallet still in the plans?

To be really “green” I think that if we look at cryptocoins as a whole if we can do more to promote and build value in existing coins, we can prevent wasted energy and effort.  To me, community building and affiliate programs are very important, when you think about it there is really no scarcity in cryptocoins but finding and maintaining good communities that build real lasting value in them is difficult.

One other issue – I haven't been able to synch for the last seven hours, everything was working well before.  (For the past three days – I'm new to this coin)  I'm connecting to a single node 168.63.241.137 that drops me intermittently – any ideas? I've tried deleting the block chain, peers.dat, and have the listed nodes in the config file. I built the wallet from the current source code and run it under Ubuntu 14.04.

Thank you! Got it synchronizing from the peer information that you posted.

Absolutely. Feel free to either post here, skype me at lorenzowalz, or pm me on here if you run into any more issues.

Does/did this article have any relation to this coin?

no that is something else

It may be worthwhile to note that the coin referenced in that article either didn't exist or no longer exists. I remember reading that they messed up their launch, etc.

[allcoinminer]

Allcoinminer, iHashFury - you can be the first two 0.1 BTC recipients. Per the rules I will send once you have five readings (which takes a minimum of five days). I will need a BTC addy for iHashFury.

Hope its time for this reward.
Thanks in advance. Value of GRE lowered to 4 Sat. Hope it will jump up soon.

[ncsupanda]

Happy to say that Bittrex is being finalized and worked on as we speak. Thanks all for giving us time.

Will respond back with more details as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help but how do I do that?
To download Greencoin I had to register to mega then download; I downloaded the new version to update the last one but it is still written "no block source available"

Try this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=636548.msg9168137#msg9168137

And if it doesn't work let me know. We are working on compiling a version of the windows wallet that does not require the conf file and will report back once it is ready.
