ryan you have to let the community know what is your plan from now on.
You have to tell us what you need help with.
And you have to understand that you can't do everything by yourself, we need to do this as a community. Only one person can't get this coin back on track. Be quick because there isn't much life left to EMC2.
We need to act now because if nothing is done, in a week, it will be dead for good.


Well, There are a few things on the hotplate right now to really get the ball rolling. We need to get a transfer over to a nice wallet with more features and PoS which will help set us on a new path while simultaneously showing the community that we care about their needs. For this, I am willing to offer 1 million EMC2 to the dev. Secondly, we should create our own "experiment.com" style website to host projects and allow people to donate EMC2 directly. That would help boost up the community again and give them a trusted tool for buying and using the coin. Once again, I can offer another 1 million coins for that task as well.

If we could get a rally going and some promotions hitting twitter, facebook, reddit, here, irc, etc. That would be great. It's time we switch the mood around and drum up support for this warrior of a coin! A few new meme's with some positive posts, supporter plans for the new website, etc. Venture on.

Who has some connections? Do you have a big following on twitter? Do you have pull in the bitcointalk community? It's time EMC2 gets some love because good things are happening.

I'd like to once again give a big THANK YOU to all of our long time supporters. We made it this far, let's see what we can do now! Hold coins and spread the word.

I agree that the community is not really where it should be for us to collect the money. Not only that, but forking a coin a changing its fundamentals usually kills it all together. The switch to PoS will not increase our value. It's taken me a bit of humility and learning, but I've come to decide that we need to change direction with this coin. What we really need is a new system for donating to science. Switching algo may be something that can come a little down the line, but at our current state it may be best to refocus on what we are really supposed to be doing with EMC2.

My goal now is for Einsteinium is to create a website much like Kickstarter or Experiment.com specifically geared for funding science projects with crypto. People will be able to create projects and receive votes / funding directly in EMC2. Above that, it's time that we rebuild our coin team from the ground up. I will update very soon.


WOW....You have become the MASTER OF DISSASTER.... You change idea like the weather, one day sun next day rain.



I'm willing to put a switch to PoS as the leading agenda, but I haven't been able to find a single developer to do it for free (or take a sizable amount of EMC2). It may be a bit cheaper to get a website created that helps us fund science using EMC2 first.  Otherwise, there will need to be some funding involved. In any case, I know the community wants PoS so hopefully I can find the right developer who's willing to take on the task for EMC2 bounty.
Let's put EMC2 on track, with a rising price and some donations maybe 1 or 2 devs will be willing to take on the switch to PoS for EMC2 payment. Right now we have to get back to more simple things like getting known!

Many people here have been waiting patiently and watching for something to happen. I don't post often but wanted to see how this all played out.  Ryan was out of the country for a long while busy with other obligations which is understandable.  I thought we would now see more that he is back but it doesn't look like that is the case. At this rate it will continue as is, maybe another poll to vote on, or maybe a re-vote via other venues who knows.

+1 ECAP.....remember that. I have had multiple conversations with Armis privately and huge supporter of what he was trying to do. It played out like I thought it would, Ryan wanting to maintain control but lacks resources like time and financing to see it through with any changes to the coin. I agree with mdtspain above.....I will not be donating any BTC to assist with a conversion because I have sort of lost faith in Ryan to see it through. If the community had full control of the coin portion with voting like what Armis was trying to get moving it could be successful along with Ryan being responsible for the things he is good at like marketing and interacting with the donation/science side of the coin through the Foundation. It is just too much for 1 person to have all of the weight on their shoulders. With 2 separate branches working together it "could" be a success. Marketing the coin in the present condition will only draw attention to how far behind the times it is compared to others and it will cause people to not want to be part of it. The concept would have been more successful if this was a multi-pool from the beginning with a portion going to science.....I have a hard time thinking of the end users of this coin using it for anything besides donation potential or investment only.

Where are all of the committee's that were setup? gone because they have no control to do anything if they wanted to. At least the sinking ship has a slow leak so it has survived this long.

dude your a dev, and cant get your hands on 3btc?!? been involved in other coins to, wheres your payments for that work.....you dont sound to committed to emc2 to put it in yourself, maybe if you said you will raise half and prove it, people may raise the rest.....not just ask the community to pay in full, and get no results months later

Being a "dev" does not mean you automatically make money. EMC2 is no premine, no IPO, and has no direct funding for the coin or its devs. I am holding IPO money for dCM but I wouldn't spend that money on EMC2 without permission from dCM investors. If I see large number of dCM investors agree for me to use that money on EMC2, I will do so.


Why would dCM investors permit IPO funds to be spent on another coin?What's in it for them??

I'll remind you of this when we get to 500K

I'll have to add you to the list though because I have about 30 people to remind.

Don't you get it, cloakcoin is the biggest innovation to crypto since btc!




Bwhahahaaaaa.


That's a good funny.

Cloak is another cut and paste ShitCoin which will be yesterday's dog in no-time.

Congrats on making some money on the big run it's having but let's keep it real.

so what is going on then?!?! hot air...........??

seems like no switch to POS since no one is willing to pay 3BTC for it to happen and energy focused on marketing and spreading the word about EMC2.
thought that was already happening?! with time and energy getting devoted back to emc2, sure that was said weeks ago before voting.......

let see what happen this time.

"The only real valuable thing is intuition."
To further add on my post,  because I feel I threw an alternative that wouldn't be realizable. I'm currently one of the top 3 holders of emc2, if I were to make a sizable donation based on what I own, it would still be quite a bit less than the amount needed. So,  at the current market value, it's a great amount to raise,  what I own right now used to be worth about 20k, I think everyone here is in a similar boat, further investment from current holders has incentive, but at another risk for a more than comfortable chuck of what their investment is currently worth. It's not that 3btc is a big fee,  it's just a fee the community isn't really able to absorb at the current market value.

So here's my suggestion. Why not make the new Dev the recipient of the next (or 2) wormholes? It gives him incentive to do a good job, it potentially gives him more money than the flat 3btc fee,  and it's actually realizable. And it also goes towards "helping science"  if it's funding a system TO fun science.

The reason we chose BTC instead of a EMC2 donation is because of current market value. The developer needs money right now in order to pay for the time it will take to begin to implement the changes. Upon payment receipt, it will be the his decision to buy back into the coin while prices are still cheap. Otherwise, the rest he can cash out to pay his bills. If we pay him 3btc in EMC2 directly, it would take a sizable portion from myself or from holders and it's just not a very reasonable decision at current market rates.
It's not only not a reasonable decision for you OR anyone else at current market rate. You have to ask yourself,  why would someone take a risk and pay BTC  to make their past investment worth a little more when they've already lost so much.  It's 1 thing to Baghold until now, it's another thing to Baghold until now AND further pay. Besides, I'm not sure emc2 community currently has the confidence to send 3btc blindly. I'm not coming at you or anything, but things went sideways here, some things were planned and never ended happening and you were recently associated with a potential scam (like I said, I'm not coming at you, I think I actually like you). But I'm stating the current facts. 3btc collected just isn't happening.  It has nothing to do with how strong this community is or not, this community just isn't in a state where it can do that.

Your most loyal community members and biggest pockets already your post,  I think it has been established  that for no one thinks it's worth the risk / reward.

So used your time wisely and don't waste it waiting on that 3btc filled and come up with another proposition.  Maybe try to make my suggestion or something of the sort work out,  or come up with something entirely different,  or a Dev  that would accept such a position without cash up front.

And beyond the scope of the rest of my post,  usually someone gets paid after the work is done, I'm not exactly sure why we're hanged by the balls and that it should be any different especially in a bitcoin world known for scams and jobs unfinished.

We should create a ''how-to'' to give with the EMC2, to help those that are not familiar with CC.
Good decision, not let focus on reaching the scientific community. This coin is for them, so let them know we exist.

Also, does someone still have access to the twitter account?  Might be a good time to start sending tweets to remind the community that we are still here!

Yes I do and I've began to tweet / retweet more lately. I would like to hire someone from the community to handle our Twitter account exclusively + tip bot. I will create a bounty post for that after work today.

It's not that 3btc is a big fee,  it's just a fee the community isn't really able to absorb at the current market value.

So here's my suggestion. Why not make the new Dev the recipient of the next (or 2) wormholes? It gives him incentive to do a good job, it potentially gives him more money than the flat 3btc fee,  and it's actually realizable. And it also goes towards "helping science"  if it's funding a system TO fun science.

The reason we chose BTC instead of a EMC2 donation is because of current market value. The developer needs money right now in order to pay for the time it will take to begin to implement the changes. Upon payment receipt, it will be the his decision to buy back into the coin while prices are still cheap. Otherwise, the rest he can cash out to pay his bills. If we pay him 3btc in EMC2 directly, it would take a sizable portion from myself or from holders and it's just not a very reasonable decision at current market rates.
It's not only not a reasonable decision for you OR anyone else at current market rate. You have to ask yourself,  why would someone take a risk and pay BTC  to make their past investment worth a little more when they've already lost so much.  It's 1 thing to Baghold until now, it's another thing to Baghold until now AND further pay. Besides, I'm not sure emc2 community currently has the confidence to send 3btc blindly. I'm not coming at you or anything, but things went sideways here, some things were planned and never ended happening and you were recently associated with a potential scam (like I said, I'm not coming at you, I think I actually like you). But I'm stating the current facts. 3btc collected just isn't happening.  It has nothing to do with how strong this community is or not, this community just isn't in a state where it can do that.

Your most loyal community members and biggest pockets already your post,  I think it has been established  that for no one thinks it's worth the risk / reward.

So used your time wisely and don't waste it waiting on that 3btc filled and come up with another proposition.  Maybe try to make my suggestion or something of the sort work out,  or come up with something entirely different,  or a Dev  that would accept such a position without cash up front.

And beyond the scope of the rest of my post,  usually someone gets paid after the work is done, I'm not exactly sure why we're hanged by the balls and that it should be any different especially in a bitcoin world known for scams and jobs unfinished.

I agree that the community is not really where it should be for us to collect the money. Not only that, but forking a coin a changing its fundamentals usually kills it all together. The switch to PoS will not increase our value. It's taken me a bit of humility and learning, but I've come to decide that we need to change direction with this coin. What we really need is a new system for donating to science. Switching algo may be something that can come a little down the line, but at our current state it may be best to refocus on what we are really supposed to be doing with EMC2.

My goal now is for Einsteinium is to create a website much like Kickstarter or Experiment.com specifically geared for funding science projects with crypto. People will be able to create projects and receive votes / funding directly in EMC2. Above that, it's time that we rebuild our coin team from the ground up. I will update very soon.

We should create a ''how-to'' to give with the EMC2, to help those that are not familiar with CC.
Good decision, not let focus on reaching the scientific community. This coin is for them, so let them know we exist.

I'll remind you of this when we get to 500K

I'll have to add you to the list though because I have about 30 people to remind.

Don't you get it, cloakcoin is the biggest innovation to crypto since btc!



You're going to regret putting your life savings into cloak when cape gets released.
