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

[allcoinminer]

So, you are putting composting to the Green Coin.
When will it be started? My compost yard is on the making for my farm.

we could start it fairly soon but I definitely want some feedback on the methodology and such.

As for you, how much compost do you think you make in a year?

Around 800 to 1000Kg. Unit is on setup work.
Another large scale is on the channel and will start from Jan 2015.
Large scale one is not yet finalised.

Was away for the last few days traveling for Thanksgiving.

Am back now - I'll read through the above discussion and list opinions later tonight/tomorrow.

hi, just been reading through some of the info, a lot to read but far too much FUD and change the algo chat. well done getting through to this stage of development with the additions of other CO2 reduction incentives.
home composting is great idea to read.

wondering if there are any pools other than the ones listed in the OP and if anyone has a mining profitability calculator as not listed in coinwarz.

I think it is a great idea to target individuals and add composting and perhaps even home gardening to the mix of technologies supported by GreenCoin.  There are some intangible benefits to thinking along the lines of “waste is food” that composting supports, kind of like the “cradle to cradle” design initiative.  These things feel good to me.

We are just a family of three so there is not that much compost being produced but it keeps the amount of garbage down and helps us grow organic food.  Much of the compost washes down into the berry patch from the rain so it is difficult to measure it.  We get many jars of blackberry preserves, raspberries, blueberries, and potatoes as well as other garden veggies from our yard – it would be easier to measure how much of this we produce. 

Producing yourself or buying locally helps to reduce the carbon footprint made from shipping goods long distances by large container ships.  Keeping trash out out the landfills reduces the amount of work needed to transport and bury this trash and I think it reduces the amount of methane produced when things decompose without enough oxygen.

I have know idea how to measure this but maybe some value based on number of family members and how the compost is used as well as if additional materials are gathered from the neighbours.  I've occasionally composted the neighbours leaves, branches and horse manurer to get the pile heating up more.  There must be some data on how much compostable garbage a typical family makes and maybe some figures on how much carbon it takes to ship food many miles to the table.

One other reminder - the week long PoB GreenCoin campaign starts tomorrow so please sign up if you want to ride for the coins!

are these the same coins? the subject of this thread seems to be a lot different to what is outlined in the link that has been shared above?

it's a different thing entirely

i thought so, thanks for the clarification ...

But the main problem in widening the scope of this carbon offsetting is with the verification of this on the individual basis.
Anyone can fake a composting setup, unlike solar power system setup.
One solution for this is to appoint a central agency or person in each locality to identify and verify each nodes.
This kind of personal verification will help to nullify fake and duplicate nodes.

WoW! This is an excellent push for Green Coin.
Possible crowd pulling in exchange markets are possible.
Also, the coin may get listed in all major exchanges just because of this.
On the other side, can't resist a coin value appreciation to a higher degree.

That Article is from back in June and isnt related to GreenCoin in any way. They tried to create a cryptocurrency, it crashed, but they had already created a number of articles to make it seem valuable. Pretty straightforward stuff, but it's irrelevant.

In my opinion having a person or central agency verify an individual compost producer or gardener could be a bit much.  Perhaps we could take a simpler route and have some visual record like a picture of the garden or compost pile be posted monthly for payments.  While it is true that these things can be easily faked, I think that it is better to trust people.  I don't think we are talking about major amounts of value for the individual compost producer and if it does turn into that in the future it would be a winning solution for the entire GreenCoin community so I doubt anyone would complain too vehemently.

In fact this type of thing is what we need to improve the earths ability to sustain us, which when you think about it is really the only value that any monetary system has as the bottom line anyway.

I hope that it will become easier for people to play along with the game rather than against it because verification will only go so far towards making real change.  Really the best progress comes from within by personal choice rather than by being forced outwardly by some system imho.

There even was an other Greencoin before if I am not mistaken.

The price is quite stable at 10satoshis

Thinking about making a GreenCoin physical coin. Thoughts on what it should say / what it should look like?

Are you thinking of doing 3D printed design?  I made a 3D printed coin on Shapeways you can see here: https://www.shapeways.com/model/1163350/rwbb-coin.html?materialId=26  I would change it to have more rounded contours if I did it again and maybe make it larger.

The initial design for the GreenCoin would be fun to do in full color sandstone with the leaf raised up and maybe with some veins showing in it.  Sandstone is very light and fragile though.  Brass or polished silver would be better for a coin, but too pricey for me.    They have all kinds of other materials too.

I like the idea of a custom minted coin: http://custom.nwtmint.com/process_coinideas.php

Just wanted to remind everyone you can mine at http://www.simplemulti.com/ and use a GRE address as your username.... they merge mine a lot of different scrypt coins at the same time and will convert all to GRE automatically...  they do this at Bittrex... This will keep buying pressure and volume on GRE up.... @ Bittrex...

This is a good thing...

I did a week of riding for GreenCoin and made a video with some highlights.  It was great to be out riding my bike for coins.  I hope you enjoy the video. http://youtu.be/g15nUDSJS4Y
