Topic: CARBONCOIN: The Completely Carbon Neutral Cryptocurrency - page 47. (Read 76007 times)

Im still not basing anything on your picture as it's just a picture.  You make alot of assumptions just because people question your intent and get quite frustrated it seems.  I don't even know anything about the other coin your talking about as you can tell by the age of my account im guessing it was before I was on here.  I don't see this going anywhere as you still can't provide any evidence of anything.

If you are questioning the tree spacing you are questioning the photo, because that is the only evidence you could have of the tree spacing. Up-hill all the way with you isn't it. If you had bothered to actually keep up with this thread you'd see that I have provided evidence, including the location (just to prevent any recourse, I could not care less if you wish to dismantle this, you can find a way if you choose to - this is the real world, not the blockchain).

People on the forum put 70BTC into Stackcoin on far less information than I have provided here, but i didn't see you on there touting "scam", perhaps you were with one of your other accounts? Now, because of that, someone comes along actually having genuine positive intensions, and anyone who would otherwise have supported the project from the outset is frightened off, all because a few sorry individuals woke up on the wrong side of bed.

Until the time comes for planting saplings there is no more evidence to provide than the photographs of the site. What do you want, a soil sample? Maybe some sort of scratch and sniff? A dead twig? I know, I'll mail you an authentic Hampshire worm... just pop your address below.

In my world one's wishes are respected by one's children, because one brings them up properly. Sure, there is some possibility that some circumstance may lead to some portion of the trees not living to 100 years old and, in fact, all our calculations for offset on the website have now been reviewed and adjusted to reflect a much more realistic value for carbon offset per tree.

You are ignoring the larger objective here, this is not to be about simply planting forests, this is about funding the sequestering of carbon on as larger scale as funding will permit. All being well we will see an asset bubble in carbon sequestration - maybe finally we will see this technology bringing about an ecological answer to the industrial revolution. Nice of you to stand in the way of it, sure everyone you know is proud of you.

The defence is more to do with the fact that some utter waste of space came onto my thread and had the audacity to call me pathetic while at the same time offering no evidence of ever doing anything meaningful with his life whatsoever. That's not a cue for evidence by the way, no interest.

As I said before I'm done defending anything, and if you wouldn't mind, my time is better spent on things which are going to be of tangible benefit to the world we live in and this community. Continuing this discussion certainly isn't one of them.

We must live in different worlds.  Even if they have every intent to maintain it is good to know that they will live forever and never pass the land down to someone else with different ideas.  I never questioned your photo.  Your arguing points that I haven't even mentioned.  So much defense and yet still no evidence.

If you think carbon offsetting is bull, do you think that humanity is damaging the environment? How do you think that problem is solved? Do you even think it can be solved or have you just resigned to have no planet for your great great grand kids? That is rhetoric by the way. I'll grant you a lot of the carbon offsetting industry is bull, as is any goodwill organisation which takes 60% in administration before it does what it is supposed to, and it is for this reason I have gone down the path I have with this.

The trees exist, the land has been disclosed. The images were legitimite. The fact that even after I took the time to explain to you that you can get no sense of horizontal perspective from taking a ground-level wide-angle photograph from close up, leaves me questioning your judgement yet again.

In the world I live in trust still exists, as does family-owned maintained permanent forestry which requires funding to be expanded in so doing, sequestering thousands of tonnes of Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere.

If I even said "right whatever-your-name-is let's raise more money to buy land, plant trees and hire permanent staff to maintain it, as part of the charitable trust we are about to set up", you wouldn't come out in support and start fundraising would you, you'd just find something else and continue to be parasitic. What about if I said let's pursue other environmental projects which will sequester fully quantifiable amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? Still the same I am sure.

I have no more inclination to prove the validity of this to you, or other timewasters like you. You'll be able to catch up with us in the media before long.

Anyone wishing to come forward to make an early donation, offset some carbon footprint, offer help or otherwise add/contribute positively please send me a personal message and I will add you on skype so you have direct contact before any funds are exchanged. Early adopters, large pool/exchange admins this is directed at you.

Anyone thinking the environment is fine and the world should continue as it is, please direct your attention to the nearest wall and run at it with the same commitment you show to being an asshole, you will almost definitely have a great time. (just to be sure, that's a joke, DemetriusAstroBlack)

Carbon offsetting is bull and it's stupid to trust someone to do it for you without any evidence......Some FUD for you.  Do the trees even exist?  Who owns the land?  Can we see the contract that states the trees wont be harvested?  What does the environmental impact study say about planting all these new trees densely into one place?

So rather than FUD you are someone that creates an account to spread hate? What an advanced grasp of semantics you have...
I am sure people here would like to hear some more of your opinions, after all they are always so intelligent and carefully considered, and they just make you look fantastic. Please type away.

Im spreading hate, not FUD.  I dont think you know what FUD means.

Yet another pathetic attempt to be a human being from DemetriusAstroBlack on his account which was "not created to spread FUD".

I haven't been able to see it yet. I'm at work and attachments like that get stripped.

Your contributions have been and will continue to be most welcome! What do you think of the design above?

True. I'd say you've been handling yourself quite well with the naysayers. I'm not trying to step on your toes by butting in to the arguments or anything. I just tend to get a bit defensive of the things that I'm invested in. And it irks the hell out of me when people come in purposefully trying to spread FUD.

Thanks Steve, I am pretty confident can handle any argument he throws my way. We shall just have to see if he wants to come back and have a reasonable discussion or not. I can fully understand how frustrating a bubble of clones would be to someone around from the start, even moreso if he got scammed a couple of times, or worse if he bought a basket of alts and held them. Would make one pretty cynical before too long!

Great response, AM. But you shouldn't waste your time on him. He is a professional troll who spends his time going into just about every altcoin thread and belittling the people and screaming "scam" and "shitcoin" and does little else to actually be productive with his life. He even started a thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/why-doge-coin-is-bad-461360 about how Dogecoin is bad and is ruining the value of his precious Bitcoin. Not to mention the fact that he fancies himself an "Operation shitcoin cleanout" elitist. Best to just ignore him from here on out.

I really like this as an idea and we could easily adapt the theme on the website to reflect this - as there is a bit of a disconnection between the current coin and the project itself. Anyone else got any other suggestions/sketches/ideas? I think we could certainly put a new image to a vote in the next few days.

Like what you've done with the inverted diamond in the tree too! Clever!

Perhaps you'd find your messages were conveyed more efficiently if you used something other than punctuated fragments. There is no greenwashing going on here, there is a story backed by an enormous carbon offsetting project. Thanks for your interest though.

Do your research properly, there is no pretense. I am not responsible for the registration of that website either so maybe remove that information. Also maybe look at the original thread and try and find that developer if you are bored.

You will see that I was not responsible for making this a scrypt clone if you actually look into it.

Also I might add I am hoping to hard fork to a new sort of PoS, (a version of which I was planning to release before I got involved in this), once we have hit various sites such as marketcap and got onto some large switching mining pools - i feel it is important that we get that far before the switch though.

The other thing we are doing is quantifying the carbon footprints of all (as many as we can) other cryptocurrencies from the blockchains of those currencies using fair-to-conservative approximations, and THEN giving all of them a cost effective way in which they can start to repair the damage they have done. Raising awareness at the same time having a clear environmental conscience from the off. Rig miners are going to mine something, and that is a devil incarnated by people you probably wouldn't dream of being a prick to.

Are your development skills any more convincing than your manners because you are welcome to get in touch and help out, there are a few things in the project I am working on which could do with some coding prowess, that is if you are any more than a hobbyist... it is unclear.

Asking for donations firstly to plant trees, and then separately to get help with tasks, is not something I am going to apologise for. I was briefly tempted to spend my time trawling through all of your previous posts on this forum looking for some hint to your location to then broadcast it far and wide, but I didn't because I was suddenly bowled over by an enormous wave of indifference

great. greenwashing. that is going to fix it in the long run.

Ok, i'm fairly green focused, i care about the environment. I also love crypto so this is perfect.

I've had a go at redesigning the coin logo as i don't think what we have at the moment really encapsulates what Carboncoin has now become.

I've made it simple and clean, just like the currency. It works both large and very small. and i've given it a gloss/shine over the top so it's not too flat
