Solar-powered rigs

saline solar steam turbines, batteries, open wrt and some standalone miners in ruggedized cases

Technology is spread by the faithful...
Back to the idea of pushing EAC forward....
Of course. A bit of humour never hurts.
Anyway, the above wasn't entirely tongue in cheek, as a rig like that could provide quite a bit of useful electricity in the third world. (I hate that term, but I got nothing better). It's the kind of project that Earthcoin could potentially fund, as that sort of generator is pretty much a DIY project anyway, and well suited to remote areas.
But first we gotta get some real world value to the coin. In that, my erstwhile nemesis a few pages back was totally correct. To be useful to charities, the coin must be profitable and useable. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of ideas on how to do that. One thing I'd like to see is some sort of peer to peer exchange system that is NOT dependent on a central or controlled exchange site. Implementing that for crypto pairs seems like it would be easy, but how would you go about it for, say, EAC to USD? I think it could be done, but I don't have a clue how.
