Is the GRcoin team planning a coin value recovery strategy? It appears to be in freeeeeeefall towards the dreaded single satoshi...

Do you have any e-commerce arrangements in place to exchange GRE for physical goods?

Do you have an advertising campaign for expanding the usage?

I think the trick is to grow the number of Producers and that is what I am currently working on.

I think lowering the number of coins will be a good start...

That would require a fork though. We went with a high number for "growth" purposes. E.g., if all of the world's ~35 Gigatonnes of CO2 emissions were eventually being accounted for there would still be a "meaningful amount" of coins per kg CO2: 0.00028571 GRE per 1 kg CO2 in this case. As a reference, 1 kg CO2 is the consequence of driving an average car (25 mpg) about 3 miles. Making carbon "personal" and attaching it to everyday life is one big piece of the sequestration puzzle that I think is currently missing from the overall, global solution. So this was something I advocated for. From a purely "is it a great crypto" perspective, and in reference to the slew of other altcoins out there, is it too high of an absolute number? I don't know really - it's just a number, does it really move the needle if 1M coins = $10 or 1k?

Personally I think you would get a better response from the community with a much smaller number of coins. I'll do it before you get too far along in the project...

I tend to agree now. If we need to fork to fix any coinbase transaction mining issues we would just do it then.

You all should ask Byronp from Atomic-Trade to add you.... unlike Bittrex all you have to do is convince him that your cause is just...

OK, thanks, I'll send them a message this weekend.

Hi biodieselchris, I am relatively new to Greencoin, and wondered why you started a new thread. Is Greencoin still backed by the same team? Cheers.

I was looking to add some graphics and such to the OP anyway so this was easiest to re-launch it. I continue to work on the coin I am now reaching out to solar producers via mail to solicit sign-ups. I think if the network grows in 2015 the coin can end up catching on and being successful as a carbon emission offset crediting system.

If you take the current price of GreenCoin (Bittrex / Allcoin -- currently 3 satoshi) and Bitcoin ($315), and the average amount of miles driven by Americans every year (13,460), here's a graph showing the amount of GreenCoin you could buy to completely offset your the CO2 from your vehicle per year (using the current GreenCoin/CO2 conversion):

For $800 to $1,600 per year most people could completely offset their carbon from driving.

Vehicle MPG values: USM Mine Vehicle, Prius, Dodge Ram.
