Hello everyone!

Today I made new investments in EGC from the C-CEX.

Soon, I will make other investments in EGC.

Good choice and timing in my opinion - I think the price of EGC is pretty favourable right now. BTC price is down but the EGC price hasn't reacted much yet...

Yes, precisly. It will always work out to 7% annual. Regardless of if you can tune more frequent installments. Those more frequent installments will be smaller in amount than the less frequent installments that would be larger in amount.
Great, I'm only staking about 1000 EGC so far - most of my EGC is accumulating on exchanges - but have now started siphoning off into a wallet. I'll get used to the maturation of the staked coins, its working slightly differently to the way XMG works with PoS.

Shame I didn't manage to mine any =)

"Buying real life items with EGC."


So!
On the EverGreenCoin webpage i found https://evergreencoin.org/directory/

There i found a shop selling chili products. https://www.pexpeppers.com/
So i thought "cool, why not try this out"



Long story short!

By using EGC as pay, i got 10% discount using a code.
I ordered 1 sauce, Over the Moon  Cool (http://imgur.com/a/NPQlv )
and 3 kinds of chili seeds. (ghost peppers as one of them)

The only personal information i had to give out to get this product from the "other side of the world" was my postal adress to pexpeppers.
But i never had to register anywhere or give any personal information for the economic transactions of EGC.
THIS MAKES ME HAPPY!


Package arrived
Well.. first i did the mistake of "oh i need to taste this, NOW" and squirted a dash on my tounge.
IS HOT!

Used later for some hot chicken wings... so great.



THANKS EGC!
THANKS PEXPEPPERS!

Awesome stuff - I might take a look at that once I've acquired a few more coins.

I now have enough EGC to start staking - are there any recommended sizes for the number of coins per block to maximise the staking amount, or does it not matter with EGC?

I dont think it matters much.
If you stake regulary, you will end up with the apx 7% anyhow.

I have already refilled my EGC spent on chili.
Thinking of looking of other cool stuff to buy  Grin

Looking forward to next time im making tacos Cheesy

The biggest factor is coin age. Often times people juggle coins around to try and get some optimal staking frequency and defeat themselves by resetting the coin age. Usually, your best option is to leave them be and retain all the age they have already accumulated.

I know some of the community are in disagreement with EverGreenCoin's stance, specifically EverGreenCoin Cannabis's stance, on marijuana both in recreation form and medicinal form. I have had private conversations with community members on the topic and fully understand the negative implications.

I do personally think those implications are amplified by the prohibition and the social stigma, and in some ways social glorification, of the plant. The evidence of the benefits of the plant is overwhelming and I don't think fully realized and will not be until social stigmas are diluted with time or, in a better scenario, disproved and removed with understanding. Of course, one can not dispute the many other benefits we could be yielding from the plant in textiles, paper, disposables, fuel, etc.

Bow has done a great job maintaining the EverGreenCoin Cannabis facebook page with evidence. https://facebook.com/EverGreenCoin420 and that has been bringing new eyes to EverGreenCoin as I only recently have started sharing those posts in other anti-prohibition groups. If you are active on facebook, I ask you to do the same.

Bow has also purchased some stock of EverGreenCoin Cannabis T-shirts that are now for sale in the EverGreenCoin marketplace. 20% of the proceeds go directly to the EverGreenCoin Foundation. They can be purchased with Credit Cards, PayPal, or hundreds of coins or receive a $5 discount if purchased with EverGreenCoin. Shipping is included but I do ask for an additional $5 for international shipping out of the United States to help me absorb that additional cost.

https://evergreencoin.org/product/evergreencoin-cannabis-t-shirt/

https://evergreencoin.org/product/evergreencoin-cannabis-t-shirt-egc-only/

The stock will not be received, by me as I will be shipping them, until the 20th but I will make certain any orders received by then will go out on that day. I will also cover expedited shipping on that day, if it is available to the destination.

For the record, I do not personally partake but I have first hand seen the medicinal benefits.

To be honest - the reason I didn't join the community at launch was due to the references to Cannabis in the OP, as soon as I read the word, I stopped reading the post thinking "this coin must be a bit shady", and I understand the importance of hemp cultivation more than most (especially is carbon sequestration abilities). I think branching it out was a very good decision.
The following article is pretty interesting http://www.kinemagazine.com/9-ways-industrial-hemp-can-save-the-world/

To update the EverGreenCoin community on the EverGreenCoin Android wallet, the Android developer does have an EverGreenCoin wallet running on an Android device and connected to the EverGreenCoin network. He is now working on the actual communication of the Android wallet with the network via an EverGreenCoin ABE block explorer.

While I do fully understand the Android wallet is behind schedule and was roadmapped for Q4 of 2016, because of all the 'administration nightmares' (SciFi Domain scam, UniqueBTC drama) securing an Android developer, of which I talked with five in total, in mid-to-late Q4 2016 was hampered and thus pushing the timeframe already. Then in early December the Android developer had to do some unplanned traveling for his job that allowed him no time to devote to the task. But now everything is back to full swing.

At any rate, I do apologize and accept responsibility for missing the roadmapped quarter of the EverGreenCoin Android wallet. That said, I am pleased to announce, it will not be missed by much. Not much at all. I, of course, will keep you all posted as to any dates as soon as I feel confident in them. Do expect those details in the very near future.

John of the Vindyne Group Promotions has started tweeting some EverGreenCoin tweets tonight. The actual promotion and the clock on our one month of promotion will start January 5th.

Please follow @vindye8 on twitter and retweet and like his, what I am sure will be many, EverGreenCoin tweets over the month.

Again, many thanks to all who contributed through the crowdfunding on our website to make this possible.
Lets see how much of an impact this has - fingers crossed it'll get us much more exposure. Unfortunately, I don't have a twitter account.

We in the slack/IRC have collected metrics that we feel will serve as good measures to gauge the success of this promotion.

Metrics being:
100K EGC "right now" is worth 1139.89 * 100000 * 0.00001454 = 1657.4 (~3 hours ago)
80 - 300 organic hits to the website per day (already having 50 hits since the first @vindyne8 tweet, ~3 hours ago)
Twitter @EverGreenCoin_ followers = 2356
Max peers observed at one time and at one node = 73

EDIT: forgot to mention, 35 registered users on the website prior to the start of the promotion.
Well, let's see how effective that is. I am quite sceptical about such promotions, but maybe I am wrong.
I will help with retweeting, let's see at the end of the month where EGC is.
One extremely important factor to take into account is the BTC price that was at the absolute top (EGC price of 1454 sat is one of the lowest levels in the last three months at least), when the social media campaign started.

Yes, the yardstick was elongated while the unit being measured was contacted. I certainly hope that the ending comparison is so glaring that, even with double skewing of the price measure, supporters of this promotion will be very happy with their investments that made it possible.

I do understand your skepticism. I have received some private feedback that such paid promotions (aka hype) are best for pump and dump strategies. EverGreenCoin being, or wanting to do with, nothing of the sort. While I know wholeheartedly pump and dump coins use similar promotions, perhaps even this same promotion vehicle, I feel the EverGreenCoin ecosystem is mature enough to gain new sets of eyes and, more importantly, more hands and minds. I do feel confident there are many like-minded individuals in the green industry, perhaps some already with a bad taste in their mouths from crypto, that will be not only willing to adopt EverGreenCoin, but also contribute when they see we have a long-standing community and an established record of being an honest project.

The growth of our base is the target. A price increase will be collateral damage from us hitting that target. The growth of our base will not only be more easily observed by some of the more consistent measurements to be taken but, will help sustain any price growth that may come from the hype. Also, I do feel our 'infrastructure' of the new website and the support ticket system are ready to facilitate some major growth of both price and user base, green merchants included.

I do thank you for your support by retweeting, uki. I ask all the community to please try and find some time to do likewise. This will help us maximize the investment. Not only am I too retweeting of course, I am making what I hope are opportunely timed tweets at @Poloniex, having never lost sight of that goal. Maybe the present hype-level will help gain their favorable consideration.

Again, I thank all who donated through the crowdfunding on the new website to make the Vindyne Group promotion possible. Your investment is not only greatly appreciated, but being leveraged as hard as possible.
uki

You are having much more luck than the guys at IXC, there are some people who are still running 5 year old wallets...
Probably helps that wallets earlier than 1.3 cant connect to the network.

Looking at the amount of nodes vs. the number of people active here, I am guessing a lot of them wont read the forum very often.

Still only seeing 8 EverGreenCoin v1.4.2 wallets connected.

Please upgrade to v1.4.2 from v1.3 today. v1.4.2 has many enhancements that will prevent your wallet from unintentionally forking.

Please upgrade at your earliest convenience.  https://evergreencoin.org/download/

All working good for me, I finally managed to siphon a bit of EGC from the exchanges into a wallet. Need a lot more before I get any decent staking done.

It takes ages for people to upgrade their wallets - shame there isn't an auto-update function on them =)

Reminding people seems to have had an effect. Up to 11 already! Smiley


EDIT: Now 12. I am sure a lot of people just need the weekend to upgrade also.

Personally, I won't have time to upgrade until tomorrow, but I did remind a friend who is running a wallet as well.

Thanks for help spreading the word!
