I know it's the middle of the night for at least one pool owner, but I've PMed all three to let them know they should be able to activate the pools.

Are you trying to solo mine?

We're now on block 8802, so the network should start accepting proof of work blocks now. Ready for the pools to come online.

What block is it on now? mine seems stuck at 8769?

I am also stuck at 8769, an ideas as to how we can get it moving?

UPDATE:  I loaded a different wallet and it just staked block 8770, so just 30 more to go.  It's 1:23pm here as I type this and I'll be working here all day with my eye on things to keep it moving smoothly.

Yeah I noticed the move on the chain. My miner is standing by as we speak, can't wait to see some more movement on this. I haven't seen any of the giveaway coins to my wallet but Ill make up for it by mining.

I just got caught up with sending out BitSeeds to the commenters who left their addresses in the last 15 hours, and I already sent all the ones before that, so if you were one of the people who posted their address at any point then you should just need to wait for confirmations.


Note to everyone participating in the giveaway:  please leave a comment, not just a payment address! YouTube is misinterpreting comments that only have a BitSeeds address as spam, which isn't surprising. 


Please also like the videos - this is not required for the giveaway, but the whole point of this is to help spread the word about BitSeeds and the mission of the Rainforest Foundation and viewing videos without liking them (or just leaving a payment address they view as spam without even watching) works against this.

Yeah, guys it's stuck for me at the same spot right after I opened the new thread. It was like I jinxed it by posting or something. The network has been moving pretty smoothly for months now, but has had occasional pauses like this where the wallets that are staking don't have mature enough coins to keep the network moving.

I'm currently rotating between wallets to find the one with the most mature coins so we get past this little logjam, but anyone who has a wallet with mature coins should open it and stake to help get us past the stuck point. Only 30 more blocks after that to the point where we'll have mining to keep things working.

Giveaway day 7: today's video tutorial from the crypto course covers sending BitSeeds, step-by-step for non-technical computer users...

Wait, is this a new coin or takeover?

It's actually neither.  The original dev parted ways some time ago, I was mining it and interested in the project from the first day but then ended up getting involved directly in the project after the dev left.

It's pretty much all there to see in the old thread but since the thread was posted by an account controlled by the old dev, we can't update the OP. 

Figured it was time for a new thread.

From here, block rewards will reduce very slowly and steadily at a rate of 0.025 XSEED reduction every 90 days for 400 reductions, for just under 99 years
* TX Comments
* 2MB block size

Proof of Stake
* Interest Per Year: 10%
* Minimum Stake Age: 24 hours

Network
* Coin Maturity: 120 Blocks

What Is BitSeeds?
BitSeeds is a hybrid proof of work/proof of stake cryptocurrency network with the goal of raising money to assist the Rainforest Foundation (http://rainforestfoundation.org/bitseeds) in its mission of reforesting the planet. The custodial wallet owned by the Rainforest Foundation exists for the sole purpose of staking new BitSeeds each year to contribute to the Rainforest Foundation's mission and the success of the project.

The rate of deforestation is so enormous that in order to restore balance a disruption in traditional fund raising was needed. BitSeeds provides a cryptographic ledger with unique features specifically designed for not-for-profit organizations and driving merchant adoption. Ecosystem development is an ongoing process spearheaded by the BitSeeds Foundation.

Why Is the BitSeeds Project Necessary?
BitSeeds adds ecosystem-specific remittance rails for charitable donations and a blockchain robust enough to accommodate future development. Every commercial transaction conducted within the remittance rail has the value added benefit of a charitable tax deduction, beyond the normal cost savings of cryptocurrency adoption. Individuals are then incentivized to hold and stake BitSeeds in personal wallets not simply to support the network, but support the greater mission of the Rainforest Foundation to reforest the planet.

"The simple act of holding BitSeeds makes the world a better place because you are investing in the mission of the Rainforest Foundation to reforest the planet."

What Is The BitSeeds Foundation?
The BitSeeds Foundation is a not-for-profit entity registered in the state of Nevada. More information may be found at the BitSeeds website (http://BitSeeds.org).

Why Is BitSeeds Important?
Cryptocurrencies are a means to give people hope, and that is the primary use case of BitSeeds. Beyond the stated mission, the BitSeeds Foundation is committed to furthering the partnership of cryptocurrencies and charity and offers its network and support services to any charity that wishes to implement a safe and healthy digital currency into their fundraising efforts.

Why Not Use Another Currency?
While BitSeeds could not exist without blockchain technology, other networks may not suitable for most charity organizations. BitSeeds adds ecosystem-specific remittance rails for charitable donations and a blockchain robust enough to accommodate future development. Every commercial transaction conducted within the remittance rail has the value added benefit of a charitable tax deduction, beyond the normal cost savings of cryptocurrency adoption. Individuals are then incentivized to hold and stake BitSeeds in personal wallets not simply to support the network, but support the greater mission of the Rainforest Foundation to reforest the planet.

What Makes BitSeeds Different?
While boasting a number of technological advances which make it superior to other currencies, BitSeeds has a real mission to guide its development and growth. The core mission of reforesting the planet always takes precedence over other concerns. Without distractions, the work of the Rainforest Foundation and the BitSeeds Foundation can continue with minimal outside risk.
Why Would Merchants Use BitSeeds?

Merchant adoption is driven through a custom remittance system being developed by Coin.co (http://coin.co). 1.25% of every transaction processed will be sent to the BitSeeds Custody Address. Merchants will be presented with a yearly accounting and requisite paperwork for tax purposes.

Every transaction completed through this process is a charitable tax deduction for the accepting merchant and a great incentive for adoption that goes beyond the usual savings of cryptocurrencies compared to credit cards.

How Do You Plan To Plant 1,000,000,000 Trees?
That's the best part about BitSeeds: all of the necessary experience, expertise, ingenuity, and infrastructure are already there! It's all built and ready. All the Rainforest Foundation needs is funding from the public to expand 30+ year old reforestation operations to levels never seen before. BitSeeds will provide jobs, infrastructure, and raise the standards of living for the poorest in the world. This project is already in motion. BitSeeds makes more of it happen, faster.

To make this initiative possible, each year BitSeeds will yield 10% interest to each person who holds the currency. At the launch of the currency, 100 million BitSeeds were set aside in a special wallet owned by the Rainforest Foundation that will generate interest through staking. The yearly interest income the Rainforest Foundation receives will enable them to help local communities conserve and restore forests on a scale never before possible.

With a traditional donation to a charity, a person gets something symbolic but not very useful like a tote bag or a mug as a thanks for their donation; starting soon when someone donates to the Rainforest Foundation they will receive a gift card loaded with BitSeeds, allowing them to turn around and spend some or all of the money they just donated, while still knowing they're helping the Rainforest Foundation's mission and enjoying the benefits of a tax deduction!


From the Rainforest Foundation, founding member of the BitSeeds Foundation:
“Immediately slowing or stopping the alarming rate of rainforest destruction is vital to society’s health and well-being. So we asked ourselves: how can we leverage more resources to support what we know are effective solutions? The scale of funding needed to halt or reverse rainforest destruction is so large that we can't just do what we've always done to raise funds. We need innovation. We need disruption.”
-Suzanne Pelletier, Executive Director of Rainforest Foundation US and founding member of the BitSeeds Foundation
