So lets take a serious look at the prospects of Earthcoin. In order for this coin to survive and not be Dogefied, you guys need to let the market build. A simple pump and dump will just ruin the future of this coin, and in fact, there is a bright future. At least Earthcoin has a name like Worldcoin, and that speaks volumes. If the developers and such take a good stands, develop a foundation to support and market this coin, I believe this coin can rival Litecoin at some point.

One look at the Worldcoin ANN, and you can see what people can do when they come together. Worldcoin is one the most professionally marketed and put together coin out there in the alt coin market. I'm hoping that Earthcoin can/will do the same.

But in order for that to happen plans need to be made now so that people have confidence in the coin just past a simple pump and dump. If there is hope for the future and plans for the coin, then people will hold on to the coins and let the market mature. Let's all be honest, there was no future for DOGE coin, even though that it introduced a lot of Reddit and 4Chan people in to the mining industry, which is great because it created a medium that was fun and profitable for a lot of new folks.

So, Mr Earthcoin, what do you say? Are you willing to take on the responsibility of running a foundation for this coin? I'm sure a lot of miners and pool operators would donate to the cause if we felt the operation of the foundation was sound and there was a framework put in place to support it going in to the future.

If you do not have the experience necessary in order to take on such a project, I'm sure there would be some people that have experience with such projects and would be willing to develop the framework going forward.

At first, it doesn't have to be a "take-over-the-world" framework. But maybe just a few ads on Reddit or or Facebook. Something to get people involved with the branding of the coin. My second suggestion would be to move the logo away from the Internet Explorer symbol reference (even though it is a very well designed logo.)

So who's with me? Does any of this sound like a good plan to move forward? We've had way too many unsupported pump and dump coins, it'd finally be nice to get one we can all put our trust in going forward.

Earthcoin dev/team is already doing a lot, take a look at some of the posts he has made, for example this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=379236.msg4306701#msg4306701

PS. I love your pools as much as the next miner but god damn that spam drives me nuts. There is already a list of pools in the first post where newcomers will surely find them.
