Announcing the GreenCoin PoB holiday season ride. Date: from Monday December 1 to Sunday December 7. Please sign up or pledge donations by posting to this forum or sending me a personal message. Biodieselchris has pledged 500,000 GRE additionally, I'll pledge an additional 55,555 GRE bringing the current total pot to 555,555 GRE. We are the first riders/runners to sign up so far. GreenCoin is a free system for assigning carbon emission offset credits to producers of renewable energy - what better reward for riding your bike or running!
Per forum guidelines coin address should not be posted here so please send this info by PM prior to the end of the campaign so you can get paid.
I've thought a lot about how to structure the “proof” for earning part of the donation pot. This time of year the weather can be very tough and setting any type of quantifiable goal can not adequately deal with the different levels of abilities of people. We don't want to encourage someone in their 90's to go out and ride 20 miles in a blizzard. So do whatever level of commitment feels right for you and your situation. Really this is more about getting the word out.
Please post the results of anything you decided to do. You can share stories, goals, pictures, videos, go shopping by bike, tell your friends on social media, run or walk in the woods, additional things I've not thought of, etc... I hope those in group with be able to encourage participation through some friendly postings, however, if enough people in the group decide that there has not been enough PoB for your share, I reserve the right as acting benevolent dictator not to disperse your coins. You are earning your coins by participation, cooperation and through encouraging each other.
Short metaphor: Some may view the efforts of a small hummingbird carrying one mouth full of water at at time back and forth to put out a forest fire as a futile waste of effort, while others may rally in support and purchase a C-130 to put it out a pond of water at a time.
