Re: All these arguments.

What is all this, sexual tension?

For all the people screaming about tree-huggers, hippies and low values:

The EAC forest campaign is not the the be-all- and-end-all of Earthcoin,  it's not it's sole purpose. It is part of the promotion of the coin. We already have contributions towards the trees (thanks to those who did!!!   Grin), jaguars, hungry people in Australia and Spanish greyhounds. Once the trees start getting planted, Earthcoin will receive valuable and hard to get publicity across the world in non-geek publications, it will bring in new users to crypto, it will provide a talking point (well, it already has!).

I'm not sure why some here seem to think that this coin should have made them rich within three-weeks without any effort on their part, I can't tell you why they feel it is owed to them except to say their attitudes display a remarkable ignorance of business, promotion and opportunity - they would appear to be gamblers rather than investors. I recommend that they frequent forums more suited to their attitudes, you know, those ones that yell "To the moon!" repeatedly, as though this incantation will make gold rain from the sky.

Earthcoin is already reaching out to to a new demographic and generating publicity that is not just about volatility and people losing millions of BTC on their hard drives. It is generating good, worthwhile and not-at-all-scary  coverage. This will separate it from the hundreds of dead-end, p&d coins out there that will just disappear after making the devs a bit of cash. Many of these other coins would be considered a fraud in a regulated market.

In the coming weeks we will be planting our first trees. Websites, newspapers, radio and maybe TV will follow it up and EAC will begin to have significance beyond these rather incestuous, geeky and specialist forums.

EAC will begin to have genuine real-world value.
