In the absence of any other suggestions, are we thinking that we should use Ning's design? (I like it)

Or perhaps someone want to throw up a separate ANN (probably best another s-m) about the rebrand competition itself, including the bounty etc? Might be good publicity...

"Carboncoin Logo Competition - capturing the essence of carbon sequestration" Offering 1M Carboncoin to the winner, voting to commence  [some date 1 week from now]."

I wont be able to monitor this myself but happy to push the winning design out with the next version.

Thanks to additional contrib from zebedee bounty for competition winner is now 3M Carboncoin if we choose to go ahead.

Competition Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=572288.new#new

Are you listening miner's?! 

Rather than sell it for peanuts (remember that Pizza bought with BTC?), donate, participate, help the coin grow, help the environment, and allow your Carboncoin holdings to significantly increase in value in the process. The Carboncoin Forest Project is the showcase for this coin, gives it legitimacy as the first Carbon Neutral Cryto-currency, and needs your support.  Don't assume that others will do it all.

Exactly. You shouldn't just mine Carboncoin for profit, rather you can both mine it for profit AND donate to help it's goal.

Did block halving occur? Mining rewards are similar to before.

No excuse not to donate.

Delving into src code, halving occurs at block 50112 - longer than expected because there was a week long delay when former developer had launched the genesis but did no mining. About 2.5 days to go! Should significantly ease selling pressure at the 1 level.

Well done to the miner who donated 9 million Carboncoin to the fund last night. The fund is now at over 78 million, as I said on the other thread, when we reach 135 million, I will match Axismundi's initial donation and contribute another 25 million, so that they reach their goal sooner, so the devs can focus on developing the infrastructure, which will be necessary for the coin to succeed, and achieve its environmental goals.

This is a community driven project and needs your help to succeed.   

+1 great news. Doing our best.

I have been working on the fork to PoS (no small task) and also on looking into viable and cost effective forestry related certified carbon offsetting schemes out there, of which there are a big variety.


That is excellent news.  Keep up the good work!

Come on guys, if you are mining, donate!  

If we can reach 135 million soon, I'll match AxisMundi's stake and donate another 25 million, so we reach the target.

Let's see this coin succeed.

That sounds pretty awesome! Good way to encourage miners to donate Smiley

Its almost dead, it will all be over soon.

Nope, not really...we still have quite a few miners, so I don't know what brought you to this conclusion.

Even if you are a miner and you are ONLY worried about money, and not the trees, it is still more profitable for you to donate some of the coins. This will make the price of the coin go up!!!

You should be thinking about doing this for the environment, but even if your not, it makes no sense to sell them all immediately.

I have been watching this coin. I believe this is about as low as the price will get. Im about to buy some in the next few days and donate half and hold half.

Let's ALL get on the leaderboard!!

If all of you gave 1m (preferably 5m), the 1% target would be reached and the coin can begin to move into the mainstream, which is what you want right?

Exactly. If you are mining it actually makes more sense for you to donate at least a million CARB to the fund, as this will let Carboncoin gather more attention and raise the coin's price.

Sounds good. And if I ever get to a million then I will let you know. Not all of us are exactly heavy on the hashing power. Right now I am sitting at just under 170K. I will gladly donate some of that, but it's not gonna make much of a dent in the 160M goal.  Cool

Haha, the more the better however! You wouldn't get on the leaderboard with a donation of less than 5m CARB but you'll still help the goal and raise the price of all your coins Smiley

The ANN thread states that every 1M CARB, 0.015 BTC or 0.5 LTC donated to the fund will result in 1 tree being planted, which will grow for at least 100 years offsetting approximately 1000kg of Carbon Dioxide. The forum thread says this will happen once 1% of CARB (160m) reaches the fund, and that it will then slowly be dumped in increments of no more than 1m in order to raise awareness, keep the market stable, etc.

Okay, thanks.

Just donated 2,000,000 to fund address.

Also, we could do with some more hash power on Carboncoin at https://www.miningpool.co

Awesome, that's 1 step closer to the goal of 160M CARB Smiley And haha, I'll be sure to add a bit of hash power once I get my miner set up.
