Hi everyone, I just got done talking with Gabi and we have agreed on a few things that will make participating in the strato project both more enticing and easier.
First, we will be making laminated EGC paper wallets to be distributed at the event. These will be loaded with 10 EGC by the EverGreenCoin Foundation. We have yet to decide on how many we will be making but, the launch event has 700 people set as going on Facebook so that number will be in the hundreds. We feel this will be a great way for the community to grow, bringing more like minded individuals and their ideas.
Second, to entice people to participate in the project at the 3D printed name level, all receivers of the 3D printed name will also be mailed one of these laminated EGC paper wallets along with their 3D printed name that traveled into near space.
Lastly and most importantly, in an effort to make participating easier, we have agreed on static EGC pricing for both the "strato transaction only" level and the "strato transaction and 3D printed name (and now laminated EGC paper wallet)" level. The static prices are set at 2500 EGC and 9400 EGC respectively. The conversion process from USD, to BTC, to EGC has caused some confusion as using different exchanges along that process can cause much discrepancy. Also, the process is very confusing for people less familiar with crypto and we feel this might be discouraging involvement from people that otherwise would like to participate. The website will be updated to reflect this change in the very near future.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here in the thread or Personal Message myself and I will be glad to answer or elaborate in any way.

Very wise decision to also accept EGC as a payment option.
How are those paper wallets spread btw? It would be a mighty idea imo to airdrop them at a certain height, but I guess that will be hard to accomplish.
So maybe something for the future, where we could do droppings with the use of a drone above places where many people meet like markets, festivals aso.
Makes me think of a former idea I had with a weather balloon and a big printed Qr code
Thanks Gizfreak. The paper wallets will be handed out. By hand.
But, we are planning a second launch for late summer. Anything is possible.
Your weather balloon with QR code is an interesting idea, as I have done a few airdrops for projects and that is an idea I have never thought of. But, the only way that could work is for it to display a QR code of a private key. Then, somehow, change the private key, on what would have to be a digital display, after every private key was read or scanned. Hmmm, we are going to need more innovation before we can do this I think. Unless you are thinking it is only a QR code containing a string, rather than a private key. That string could be redeemed for an airdrop entry. But, unfortunatly, that string would quickly become shared and everyone would have it. Ok, sorry. Not trying to shoot down your idea, just thinking out loud.
