At the moment EGC is just an altcoin like the rest for me, but what it makes it stand apart from the others is the transparant way of dealing with the community.
I feel that the dev's aim is sincere and that the goals set, are not ment as false promises to attract people to scam them all over.
I'm looking forward to the development of a solar miner, as I'm attracted to the idea of being able to mine without the electricity costs that normally go with that.
The gigantic amount of electricity that nowadays is being used for mining bitcoin alone, is a thing that Satoshi Nakamoto and early bitcoin adopters have never forseen.
Until that day I'll be staking EGC with the use of a 10 Watt consuming Windows 10 device and if things turn out like I've planned, I'll be staking just by the use of solar power in a few weeks.
Keep up the good work and I'll be an evergreenie for a long long time.
Thank you very much for the kind words Gizfreak!
Yes, the amount of electricity being consumed, largely produced by burning finite resources, puts us on a certain and unfortunate track. No one can argue that is not true, even if one chooses to deny the impact of greenhouse gasses. The fact that fossil fuels are limited alone demands us to seek better ways to both supply and conservatively use electricity. Not to mention all the terrible side effects.
The impact of sometimes flat-out wasteful uses of electricity stretches beyond the miner's budget. The more electricity is demanded, the more they can charge for it. I do feel this has detrimental effects on everyone. People that have nothing to do with mining and only want to power their refrigerator must pay more and more for that electricity. That electricity price is expected to quadruple in coming years. According to some people I personally know in the electrical power distribution industry, the number of those years is few.
As we demand more and more electricity, producers of the electricity also cut more and more corners. Fukushima.
Our environment containing our food, water, and air, and also our financial futures demand us to think wisely now while we still have time to alter our course.
