I don't mean to spam but if anyone has a project they believe is worthy of funding (including an independent blog) please email us right now at ethicoin@gmail.com

Cheers  

TLDR; Official Ethicoin ANN thread coming soon, ETC will enable merge mining with LTC (first crypto to do this) if you're doing something awesome get in touch!), we are currently testing LTC merge mining before creating an official ANN thread.

Peace
