Topic: [ANN][EMC2] Einsteinium | FUNDING THE FUTURE WITH THE FUTURE OF CURRENCY - page 285. (Read 1076368 times)

Still nothing, taking off the main list for now. Please inform me when any available source is updated. Will relist then.

We need volunteers.

This is a great suggestion that should not wait for us to fund it alone we must seek strategic partners and do what we can to aid in research, awareness, and or education.   As I see it the only thing hindering us from going forward are the human resources to forward the action.  

We have already reached out to four other coins regarding this issue, as a direct result of our PM, they await our response to know if EMC2 will take the lead.  If we take the lead they of course would want to know in what capacity they would be expected to contribute.  We will want currency as well as campaign support, meaning they retweeet and use other social media (facebook, IRC, reddit, etc ...) to broadcast the ongoing message.  

In addition to the good it will do for the cause, it will also provide some positive exposure for the coins involved with the effort, we know that various media inside and outside of the cryptocurrency community will want to pick-up the story.  

If you are willing to be the EMC2 point person for this project I will give you all of the guidance you will need to make the campaign a success.  

A budget of 100,000,000 coins from each CC, and minimum $100,000. from a crowdfunding campaign with a time budget of 1 month, it can work.  

Are you ready to do this?

With EMC2 receiving a second wind I thought it would be worth suggesting organizations that are dedicated to fighting Ebola to consider. Here are a few I have found:

http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/our-work/medical-issues/ebola
http://www.samaritanspurse.org/disaster/ebola-crisis/

This of course is when the coin is prepared for it but I think it's worth discussing none the less.

I am very interested in this

EMC2 Awakening
What a difference a month makes, August saw EMC2 at its historic worse -- 10 sat with nearly non-existent volume.  September ushered in a new team, a new vision, and some brighter days: higher market values, increased volume, and some cautious optimism.   If August represented EMC2's near death experience September represented her resuscitation and rehabilitation, this was the month in which she went from 25 sat to 140 sat (a defibrillation), down to a stable daily avg of 60 sat.   Our standing at coinmarketcap.com moved from ~191 to ~171.  

In the new month, we (mgmt and volunteers) endeavor to produce higher EMC2 brand awareness, higher coin utility, higher market values, higher trade volumes, and higher market cap rankings,



EMC2 Protection
Last week's mean dip did not have to happen.  


The 30% (68 sat to 48 sat) fall is easy to see, the damage scared the coin for the rest of the week.  Folks, EMC2 just got out of a deep coma, it really hurts the coin when things like this occur.  If you see unusually low rates some seller is hurting himself, and may possibly be trying to hurt the community as well.

If the Guardian program was enlisted that massive drop would have easily been cut in half.  On that day any sales below 54 sat should have been offered to the Guardians, they likely would have offered more than what the coin actually sold for, more importantly the transaction would not have negatively effected the public market.  

When EMC2 has a combined daily avg vol of 5 btc small dips like that in isolated markets will have very little effect, but in the coin's current fragile state it is just too weak to withstand the influence.  Please don't panic sell, if you feel you must sell contact the Guardians so that the community can remain protected.



EMC2 Relationships
We recently opened an account with TitanBIT, we will do a comprehensive review.  If all is well we will present them to the community for consideration to be the official exchange of EMC2.

As you will see here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/calling-all-cause-coin-ethical-coins-and-conscious-coins-lets-work-together-791247  we are reaching out to other 'cause coins' in hopes of partnering for a purpose.   Co-sponsorship of science fairs with Gridcoin is the most promising event prospect so far.

bbs.8btc.com https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-blocked-chinese-ip-790395    is like the Chinese version of bitcointalk in china, we are presently organizing a giveaway there, the budget is 50,000 EMC2.  The official Marketing & Promotion Fund address is: EN5aZPDXRsszhxGgqQd37Jwbn3mvQsuDeT  any size donation is welcome.  

Community members who speak Mandarin and/or Cantonese please assist us with this project.



EMC2 Revenue
There is a long list of things we want to do for EMC2, much of it needs funding,  since the 2.5% mining tax does not include coin care or maintenance we must find income streams.  The first two expected income streams are: advertising revenue from emc2foundation.org the new site the community recently voted on; and the store donation of 40% of paid fees generated at einsteinium.biz.  A major source of revenue will be though crowdfunding.  We will also seek donations from others outside of our community.  



EMC2 Utility
EMC2 is a currency its strength and longevity rests in its usage -- the more it is used as a currency the stronger it will be and the longer it will last.  

Having EMC2 recognized as a currency by stores is an uphill battle, the first battle will be won when einsteinium.biz is open for 'biz', a major battle will be won when EMC2 is recognized by coinpayments.net.  

Coinpayment.net is the payment processor for hundreds of online stores, once EMC2 is on their list of currencies EMC2 can be used at hundreds of online stores.  Coinpayment.net requires community participation in order for the coin to be nominated, once nominated it requires additional community participation to have the coin voted onto the list -- they deliberately created the system in a way that requires community wide participation, low-level participation won't be sufficient.



EMC2 Volunteers
Our plan relies heavily on productive volunteers, we are asking each EMC2 owner to contributed 4 hours a week to advance some of our specific projects.  We believe sustained  growth will be visible at the point at which we have at least 10 volunteers.   With that said we are pleased to announce our first two volunteers: dan_and_shan, and BotwinBG.

Feel free to contact any one of us (Oldminer, Armis, or Djnocide) to volunteer your time.  Upon receipt of your message, we will respond with a current list of EMC2 projects, from that list we will ask you to indicate which project(s) interest you, with that we will produce a specific assignment to fit your interest and time budget.  

Einsteinium has a great need for volunteers, please offer us a few hours of your time to help the community in a meaningful way:

Ok, so its been pointed out to me that our previous POLL probably wasnt put the community as best it should, so I have started this new poll with a modification to the questions & available answers.

Please let the new EMC2 board know what you want by voting in our poll  here

Thanks for that info.  In our September 15, 2014, Report To The Community message https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8824274
it was reported: "... our Block Explorer is back - we contacted the site owner about: https://altexplorer.net/chain/Einsteinium, at the time it was not generating updated data,
we are please to report that the app has been updated and is reporting fine.  We are working on having the major typo corrected -- did you notice it? ..."

Well we still see the major typo, and yes, as you said the app is out of sync again.   We will contact the site owner again to request the update.

All of the available block explorers for EMC2 are independently owned and controlled, such is the case for many apps provided on behalf of EMC2.   When things are going fine, they are great resources, however when things go wrong we then see the value in having ownership or at least control of these tools.   For now we will continue to communicate with site owners to try to have them provide accurate info about EMC2, thanks again for your vigilance.







By popular community vote 'C' "change name a bit keep org, for example emc2foundation.org" is the winner.  

We will try to get that address, if it is not available we will target one like it.

This official site will be owned and managed by EMC2 it will step in when the Einsteinium.org site is unable to perform, until then it will
essentially shadow and mirror Einsteinium.org.   We will try to include a block explorer.

Thats exactly the one I have tried. Blocks have stopped at 20th of 09.

Correct

So officially most up to date wallet version is here: http://downloads.einsteinium.org/wallet-win (einsteinium-qt1.1)?

Einsteinium has been announced to our Chinese community on 8btc.com http://8btc.com/thread-7470-1-1.html

Please check back soon as we may also be conducting an EMC2 giveaway on the site  

p.s. If anyone from China here can check the Announcement & PM me with any spelling errors it would be most appreciated.

Hi all,

I have had discussion with Armis regards our regular reports, and its lack of reference to current EMC2 price. We have agreed there are two times when the report should include such a reference:

1. When we get some indication of some imminent radical change in the market

and

2. If a long time has passed since the last valuation was given


Our conclusion is that if we make reference to it weekly it could become a crutch for some people, and could (or will) shape the market, and not just protect it.  

However, we have also agreed the question should be put to the community.

The poll can be found here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/emc2-einsteinium-coin-weekly-reports-poll-797908

Please vote & let us know your preference.

Hi

Please PM me if you still require a wallet link. I don't have it handy but can dig it up if required.

Does anyone happen to have a working link to the 2.0 wallet source code?
I've been ninja browsing through the source code from github this past week and wouldn't mind taking a look at the 2.0 code to compare for functionality and possibly extend the limited functionality (to be brief I'm a dev just getting into crypto as well as mining  ).
I couldn't get the link previously posted by Ryan to work, although for the first time in this past week I did get einsteinium.org to load which lead to another discovery:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8xy6Sn-0UHQRjVXSHlMWWxSUHJHS2dFT0tGdDJOVXJmQjBB/edit. Figured it might be worth mentioning if it wasn't already known (way too lazy to read 250 pages worth of posts from before the community took over).

Volunteers
We are very pleased to announce the addition of our very first volunteer -- dan_and_shan.   He will be working on the youtube sponsorship initiative, trying to find a science related youtube channel that can be sponsored by EMC2.

There is a great need for volunteers, we have many projects, and many assignments in each project.  Would you kindly provide a few hours of your time each week?   The more volunteers we have the faster we will accomplish our goals

Our major responsibilities are: the security for coin  trying to protect against PND; finding income resources for the financial obligations that arise for coin care, finding contractors to maintenance the coin; finding science projects to fund; producing marketing and promotion projects for the coin; managing any mining concerns; and supervision of volunteers.   Here is a list of responsibilities that are important but secondary to the ones previously mentioned: finding places to spend EMC2; requesting media attention for all worthy events; providing ongoing outreach to schools for project and sponsorship opportunities; writing, proofreading, and editing for articles, correspondence, and reports; conducting campaigns for voting issues, crowdfunding, or social-push matters; notifications to The Guardians; lots of research on various subjects, and finding different entertainment vehicles to involve EMC2 -- get EMC2 mentioned in multiple media including TV, radio, and film.   We NEED volunteers.

We have a REAL need for some volunteers, but we want many volunteers so that we can add more value to EMC2.   All of you who have invested in EMC2 please donate a few hours of your time a week, we're not asking for much, you know that.

Good & Bad News
The Good News is, thanks to the generosity of Praxiscat (administrator emerita), and Sashorx (CTO of TitanBIT.net), plus 70K EMC2 from promotions budget the Poloniex Giveaway was a SUCCESS!
The Bad News is we tested the new EMC2 wallet gifted to the community by Ryan, here is the two-party review:

First Reviewer
Block explorer: lacks information, don't know why but it's not very useful.  You can get info on the block number (height, hash, merkle, nNonce, nBits, Timestamps, difficulty, Hashrate) or a txid (txid, value out, fees, outputs and inputs) both ouptuts and inputs return fail.  I think it's not worth it to have one like the one included in the v2.0. If we had one we should have a complete one.
Social: it link to the irc channel, lack finition. It looks like is was put together fast and no one took the time to check if it was ok. Not really worth it.
Beside the looks, the V2.0 is not really worth it, as i see it. Can we build on it later to get something better? i think so. Right now we better stay with the v1.0 and when we have time, look for someone to build a better one.
... When i say "not worth it", it means that, giving it to the community won't shows that we are serious since the addition aren't working properly.


Second Reviewer
The wallet is more visually appealing but the block explorer doesn't work. I suspect this is something Ryan didn't get to finish as when he revealed it in the forums he did say at the time it was only something he was "working on" and didn't claim at any stage that it was due for release. Also, if we are going to look at a new wallet we should perhaps look at basing it on bitcoin-qt version 9 which supports multisig functionality unlike the current wallets which are based on version 8.

 

LOL..the only red flag here is the one your waving with the words 'TROLL' missing from it...

I would love to see a 1mil transaction go down. Lets get this done on an exchange.

Bobsurplus aka CryptoGekko read the valuation reports to know exactly what the EMC2 mgmt team feels the coin is worth.

Anyone buying any amount of EMC2 for 150 sat today is likely misinformed, anyone offering such a deal is only seeking a fool for
a trading partner.  

The "red flag" you see is there to protect the community from knee-jerk trading with unscrupulous traitors.
