Hello! Does anyone know any other software for creating smart contracts? Does this project have competitors?


Smart contracts for ethereum-based tokens can be written using Solidity.

Other coins and platforms use a variety of programming languages such as Go, javascript, python.

Does that answer your question?

Will you announce another airdrop round? I think airdrops for EDU would really help to spread the word and make community bigger.


Thanks for coming by! Airdrops are a good idea and I am considering that too. Please feel free to join us at slack and give more details on what you think an airdrop should accomplish in addition to spreading coins around.

Welcome back !


I really want to trust in this project because it is necessary:
We need others way to learn and leveling world global education. Many young students leave school because of psychological problems of some teachers and the non-adaptive system of the actual education.

With a good educationnal teaching platform and teaching games, we will naturally raise the global level of consciousness of the world.
And with the "learning is earning" parameter, even greedy people will want to "learn" a lot lol


Let's help raising the new generation of genius and BTW let's moon together !  Cheesy


(Sorry for the bad english, i need to learn more grammar, plz Edumoto...)


Thank you for your comments!  What country are you from, your grammar is very good!

Any objections to requesting EduCoin join the list of currencies supported by Facebook tipping App, Multicoin Tipping?

Hi Korshan, happy new year!

I have no objections at all. I think this is a really great idea!

Good plan, Ed.

I'll look into colleges in my area.

Also, you're right. Being around for a about a year is indeed an achievement. When will Educoin have it's first birthday?

EduCoin was launched on March 11, 2014 10am EST.  So we have a ways to go.  Smiley

Hello Edumoto! Best wishes to Educoin!


Hi uyvienn! Long time no see, so glad to see you with us. I really am pleased to see you here Smiley

Thank you bags85 for the update!

POOLS - **Updated 12/15/2014**
http://edu-pool.crypto-coin.info/  


BLOCK EXPLORER -  **Updated 12/15/2014**
http://edu.crypto-coin.info

Looks good, what is needed to get this coin going again?
I can make a donation of coins to help things going.
Maybe the coin should be used to sponsor some under privileged kids
or sponsor book, pens etc in third world countries?


These are the things we need:

1. Technical development and more technical devs. Go to the git for the current source:
https://github.com/educoinfoundation/educoin-foundation

2. Coin donations. In reality, giving them to underprivileged kids is a long term idea, such as donation drives and crowdfunding for third world schools. Let's focus on our own neighborhoods. Find the school(s) where the technology curriculum is strong, and I am certain there will be open-minded teachers and educators willing to accept EduCoin to experiment with or actually use.

3. More activity in this forum. I am sure there are people who are visiting out of curiosity. Be sure to say hello.

Re: [ANN][EDU] EduCoin | 2014 Development Road Map for EDU 2.0 | New Ideas Wanted

I am a 40 something primary school teacher in England, who became interested in Bitcoin about a year and a half ago, just in time for the altcoin eruption. I guess you could say I'm an enthusiast of the technology and have had a few posts published on Let's Talk Bitcoin (http://letstalkbitcoin.com/having-a-bit-of-faith/).

I guess you could say I "get" the point of Blockchain technology, and can imagine it playing an important role in the future. Mix a knowledge of the tech with my job, my child, who needs educating, and the fact I have anarchistic tendencies and you get an interest in Educoin. I bought a bunch within a day or two of it hitting the exchanges.

The fact Educoin hasn't "gone to the moon" really doesn't bother me. In fact, if having some can help my boy gain access to quality learning content when he's at university in 15 years time, I'll be happy.

In summary, I wouldn't be able to code if my life depended on it and I ain't a whale. However, I can see Blockchain technology working in a useful, purposeful and constructive manner. Bitcoin is leading the way. Maidsafe is an interesting application. Ethereum, who knows. But at the same time Doge, RDD and several others are showing that altcoins really do have a place. So, as far as I'm concerned, Educoin belongs here too.

One other thing I can say with absolute conviction and certainty. People in the Education sector don't play with money because every penny spent can improve a young person's life chances - no money, no chances.


Thank you Korshan, reading your post is really inspiring. It's very early, and with time, I hope more people can join us. We have been here less than a year, and just surviving is in itself an achievement we can all be proud of.

Thanks Korshan for the idea.

Who are the users coming to this forum?  Very curious who believes in EduCoin and why.

Hi J,

Yes, I am here in the forum and am continuing to apply what I've learned from start-ups in San Fran to the educoin project. I am glad that there are a small group of long-term early adopters here in the forum, but what we really really need is a user base of early adopters. Let's for the time being forget the monetary exchange value, and focus on the technology and people.

- We have a good brand and organizing purpose (for instance, we are not out there to replace bitcoin but rather function as a subset or category leader), but what can we do with the technology (codebase) to give that purpose strength and utility?
- We do not have any technical people on the EduCoin project who can help us at the moment, at least any that I am aware of
- We do not have momentum. I am happy to see we are still here, but that's not a guarantee for long term success.

Edumoto

Glad to see this project is still alive

Yes, this project is alive!  

I have been thinking about the question, "What is the one thing EduCoin does well?"  In my opinion we have been funding student led hackathons, CTFs, and other school activities in a way that shows potential.  Aside from the current exchange value limiting EDU's utility, how can be broaden and build on this to make it more useful for students?  

-Edumoto

Thanks edu, though it's been a few weeks since this post. Has any progress been made?
Are einsteinium and bags on the team yet? Should we start mining this again?

Cheers,

J

We will help you to reorganize your team then revive the coin

Are you willing to be part of the reorganization team?
Yes, I will. I am ready to do web development: site, block explorer, pool, Crowdfunding site. I have a server where we can keep all this.

Thank you for your offer Bags.

Greetings from Silicon Valley, where I am currently located. I realize that EduCoin has had endured for months with questions of "What's next" and we really have not gained much traction from our peak when we appeared on Coinmarketcap in the Spring.

What I realize now as we approach month 10, is the need for technical co-founders. I would be happy to discuss this with anyone who shares the EduCoin vision and really sees that we are here to stay.

Contact me at satoshiedumoto@gmail.com to discuss.

I have set up mining pool http://edu-pool.crypto-coin.info

I'm speaking with Edumoto to see if we can host the website on a better hosting solution.

Website can be hosted on my server

Hi Bags, thank you for the offer. The educoin.cc website is back up now.

+1

Working together with coins like Einsteinium sounds like something we could support.

Please make your proposals, and let's see what the community says and most importantly does.

A group of education-centric, or ethical coins, fits our values. We need to extend bitcoin technology beyond financial instruments.

dev needs to search on sites such as below and get this coin algo switched asap.

www.freelancer.com
www.elance.com
www.odesk.com

Before algo choice is made, research the right move. Rumors of fpga mining X11 should be deterrent enough not to go in that direction.

Bargain with developer. Between everyone we should be able to pay at least 250M edu to get the job done. I pledge 50M so we are 1/5 of the way to 250M already.
Sell the potential! Jeesh, the developer could retire his entire family with 250M edu if the coin takes off. Even if it hits 1 penny this dev would be good.

Mass marketing and awareness is the next step after algo switch.

Edu Dev:

The time is now! A mass extinction of alts is coming soon and at this pace edu will disappear with all the losers and scam coins. This is not fud, this is fact!

Educoin is a genius idea! The name alone is worth millions but innovation and mass adoption must take place before the hammer drops.


I use odesk myself and 2nd everything stated. I have also donated 50

I am looking to communicate with key leaders from this community. Several have consistently appeared and offered to help, and the community here as well as myself are open to seeing plans written up publicly here. And of course it's clear we are more than ready to take EduCoin forward.

@Edumoto: I offered my help, even filled up the Google Form with the details in which area I could contribute, but i never got any feedback.

Gambel

@Gambel,  I see you as an active member of the developer's community. Like my comments to mshanthi, your participation is always appreciated and welcomed. If I missed giving you feedback it is more a result of my own real world schedule than any other reason. My apologies if you felt in any way offended. Please continue your vision for EduCoin going.
