Still sick, promised I wouldn't post, can't help it need to write a few things.
1. The instant-wallet/online wallet issue: From the start of this thread you'll see me say we're shying away from online wallets due to risk/security. I got PM'd by the guy that did this and he seemed serious/professional, I'm still not even sure that this is/isn't a scam as way too many points of contact and info are coming in to do a proper audit so I simply removed it from the website.
***I'm personally going to take responsibility for this, it's nobody elses fault but mine, nobody else on the team really even see's or knows how many assets are flung at me to package, link to, verify, etc. So I'm going to go digging tomorrow and get to the bottom of the online wallet. If I find that it is a scam, and is provable beyond a doubt, and the developer of it is mia and refuses to work things through = I will personally refund your eac.
2. Treehugging is allowed, not expected. We're trying a few things differently, and appealing to the masses and good causes, so what?
Does that mean we hate profit? No.
I'm not doing this just to get sick from working my ass off on it for no return yet, but feel good that a tree is at least being planted and food is reaching the homeless while half of you freak out on us (well shit, I do feel really good about the trees and helping the homeless though, don't take that away from me!), but this effort and all the others are but one branch on our tree. The name lends itself to a lot, including having good things backfire re "no good deed goes unpunished". It's been quite reactive for us and we're taking in everyone's suggestions as realistically as we can. Go through the thread you'll see the foundation be suggested by you guys. You'll see good efforts being suggested by you guys, we're enablers but it's a collective thing overall.
****Do I want the family to hold hands and sing kumbaya? Not exactly.
DO I expect a muslim and an american to hold hands and get along? Well maybe not hold hands but yes I do see room to let everyone get along and not be divided or indoctrinated by your side of the worlds storytellers/media/religions/etc. It's not going to solve every problem in the world but the last thing we want is overly patriotic people thinking they are #1, better than anyone, or 'right' because their gov/media told them one side of a story. Think for yourselves, no muslim has done me any wrong, I live in an extremely diverse area of the world that doesn't cater to racism or terrorist calling cards, it's multicultural and I can eat Chinese food at lunch, while walking past a mosque to get there, and take a taxi back with a cool native or afghani taxi driver to get home where a handful of nationalities greet me in my lobby as the concierge change shifts. You think you'd get away with saying some of the things you read here you'd be ostracized pretty damn quick and you'd be targeted by all in turn.
3. The team is spread out across the Western part of the world - we're doing an interview soon and you'll learn a little more about us and how this project got started in the near future.
4. We're being integrated on CoinPayments, and we are also releasing our own mini payment gateway soon so merchants can utilize our system easier. This also means a merchant page is coming and it also means we'll be fleshing out an inventory page like nothing you've seen yet
.
5. The exchange, I'd appreciate if we could just leave that alone, it's months away, no need to speculate. The beta testers signed up to the email list will get invites when ready. Fiat probably won't happen until phase two we will be legit from every angle legally not doing some underground quick cheap three day build but a real inc etc.
6. Thank you to the senior long term visionaries, adults, intellectuals, and enlightened folks who are sticking up for the brand and the team.
7. It's Saturday night - hope you guys are enjoying it.
Thank you!
Forgot a few things:
9. We are in talks and review with BTC38, they have a detailed breakdown of our premine initiatives and up to date efforts and some future efforts, all hope is not lost. It does suck that we got removed, however like any good debate, this has caused a lot of good attention in the Chinese markets re how quality control is handled and how adding/removing based on a few 'complaints' (by design or by real folks) can mess with a coin/brand. We even have an apology from the main editor for disclosing some info we wanted to be used for their internal team. All in all it's been a bit confusing for us but we're handling it and you may well see us not only back on there on a listing but actually being traded.
10. volume: I said this in the IRC channel earlier today. Right now isn't the most ideal time to point it out as it has lowered, however in retrospect it may be even more ideal as it's still wayyyyyy bigger than any coin. Go to Coinex, look at our 24hr volume, it's been as high as 50-60btc. Now go to literally all other coins one at a time, look at theirs. We've been their go to coin since showing up there and they had to upgrade (I can only assume it was due to our volume, I am not sure, but taking a good guess) their system due to growth for eac showing up there. Coinedup is a bit of a different setup and they are just experiencing the joys of adding coins so it's gone rampant/tons of coins added lately, some removed/being removed already. I'm willing to guess we still contributed to their growth to some degree too as they listed us first.
11. value: Yes, it was as high as 8-9 for a short while and had to find its real value. I was in absolute shock watching it hit those numbers and knew it wouldn't last, and kinda wish it didn't do that as it gave everyone a false hope of a continuous incline for a few folds and some of you bought really high and now are nervous/pissed/waiting to exit or at least take half. I've been in your shoes, I've gotten absolutely spanked and was stupid enough to take a 50% cut just to get out of that position and to keep trying to make back my profit elsewhere instead of being idle in a slow growth or decline and freaking out. Most recently when Bitcoin was at 300-400 in November, I took a vacation for a week. Just before leaving I was going to cashout my btc to be safe as it was tumbling and I wanted to buy in on a new low hopefully - instead I took a shot and went on vacation leaving everything in btc. I came back to 800+/btc and my associates all freaking out, China was just making it rain and I was on a beach, clueless, instead of here watching charts worrying about exit/enter/timing/news/etc. It may sound like I'm preaching but I'm just sharing a story of how time shifts everything, you may be right be leaving and trying to make back profit faster elsewhere, but you may hate yourself if the few catalysts that are coming up happen shortly after you bounce.
12. Yes.it's.only.20.days.old. We're not a meme, we're not a full blown agency campaign, we're the most real grass roots movement I've ever witnessed by a collective viral force but we're still TINY compared to the top 5. Still - in 20 days, we've created a world, we've developed more assets than any agency could take on, offshore/outsourcing included. We've come farther in 20 days as far as big picture goes than I think any coin has sans Doge, I have nothing but respect for the marketing/genius and 'bait into crypto' of doge.
13. Wait 13 is unlucky, I'll save my thoughts for Monday (or tomorrow if the trolls and baiters get to me).
Night!
If your ignorant argumentive self says no. then read earthcoin's post if you don't believe me. YOUR THE AMATEUR!
