to the roof
Thanks! But, if I may
...
to the
roof, to the
treetop, to the stratosphere... wonder what we will top next?
It does now seem and is evident, "The sky's the limit!" is an understatement of our potential with this project and I do very sincerely thank you all for the support that has made it all possible!
Thank you all for the support!
it does brings a whole new meaning to the word air drop. maybe the the next one will be from totally in space or from the moon what would it be called then? space drop, beam down lol. possibilities are endless. i am curious on how transaction times will be.
It is funny you mention spacedrop. Myself and some of my colleagues did that for Sterlingcoin. It was an airdrop without geographic restrictions hence, spacedrop.
Just to make sure there is no confusion, there never was an airdrop for EverGreenCoin. The foundation model it follows did not provide for the funds to do so at launch, there was no instamine or premine. Everyone started with 0 EGC. I like to think of the foundation model as an "installment plan" instamine. If you are new to the EGC community as I know some of you are, the EGC Foundation receives 2% (1 EGC) every PoW block and is visible via the
block explorer richlist. When designing EGC, I wanted people to feel confident the coin would not be another scam but yet, still provide it with funding to pay bounties, supply a faucet, and other promotional efforts. The foundation model gave both me the funding in a stream to do these things and I felt provided a reasonable layer of protection against the all to common scenario of a developer stealing pre/instamined coins and disappearing. I do my very best to be a public, transparent, and accountable developer but, I knew that was not enough in this industry and, perhaps rightfully so, some people would still be skeptical.
This is not to say EGC does not have plans for a large distribution similar to an airdrop because it does. But that distribution is going to be in different and very unique forms. For example, pre-loading people's solar miners with an amount of EGC so when they receive it, all they will need to do is add sunshine to start collecting the 7%. The coins to make that possible will come from the EGC Foundation's wallet. The beauty of this is beyond just pre-loading the solar miners. It is a way to know with the greatest amount of certainty possible, the distributed coins will not be dumped as people will be vested in the cost, and cost only, to produce the solar miner. Airdrops far to often are robed and coins intended to get into the hands of interested parties unfortunatly end up in the hands of people that only dump and do not care at what price because, in their eyes, it is all profit for them. I promise you, I have put great amounts of thought into the design, distribution, and eco-system of EGC to protect everyone involved and make something far beyond just another altcoin.
Thank you for bringing this up Joe (grumpytiger211)!
