has pre sale ended? now it's the end of 2018, has ecosmart beta portal been launched?

No, not yet. In fact, the pre sale haven't started yet. The team is working now with the appropriate regulatory boards to achieve compliance so that U.S citizens will also be eligible to participate.

The EcoSmart beta portal isn't available yet. As per roadmap, EcoSmart beta should launch sometime in December 2018.
so when did the pre sale start? I hope EcoSmart beta portal can be launched soon before the ICO starts.

We don't have the exact date yet on when we are planning to do the presale. We will announce the dates once we obtain U.S compliance.

As for the EcoSmart beta, we will announce every progress that we will achieve on our communications channel so please stay tuned. You can also join us on Telegram for live updates. https://t.me/veridiumlabs
what if you do not get U.S compliance, will you postpone the sales schedule? too long if you will wait for this compliance, because we know the crypto rules are very unfriendly at U.S

The team is confident that they will get U.S compliance. The founders of this project are also the founders of InfiniteEarth. InfiniteEARTH, is an industry pioneer, delivering the world’s first REDD (forest carbon accounting) methodology in 2009. In short, Jim and Todd are pros and pretty well known when it comes to carbon credits. (This is how they manage to get the support of IBM, Brian Kelly Capital and BlockTower Capital)

In worst scenario, if they failed to get U.S. compliance, I'm sure they will come up with something and will still proceed with their sale.

Keep carbon stored in the trees and out of our atmosphere. Forests play an important role in mitigating climate change by taking carbon out of the atmosphere and storing it, as well as providing society with a natural and renewable resource.

Naalala ko tuloy nung nag cash out ako ng almost 400K from bitstamp papunta sa union bank ko wayback in 2013. Nagtataka ako kase 2 weeks na wala pa din yung pera sa bank account ko. Tapos may nareceive ako na letter from union bank, pinapapunta ako ng general manager nila sa Madrigal branch. Naka hold pala yung pera ko. Nagkwentuhan lang kame about sa source of income ko , namention ko din yung bitcoin and blockchain. Buti na lang hindi pa ganun kahigpit that time. Nakuha ko din yung pera ko after a day. Tapos ang sabe lang nya saken, next time bago ko mag cashout, mag inform muna ko sa kanila na may papasok na pera from same source. Pero di ko na inulit, sa tao na lang ako nagbenta. Btw, banned na din pala ko sa western union. Umabot kase ng 400k yung binenta ko na bitcoins din that year. Na blacklist ako pero wala naman kasuhan na nangyare.

Muka lang ako bago pero na-hack kase yung old account ko. Eto yung luma kong account, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=138488
Ayaw ako pansinin nila Theymos e so gumawa na lang ako ng bago, no choice. XD

Check this article that I found.

"Adding 1% to all the goods and services we consume would create an Environmental Super Fund that would dwarf the total aggregate budget for all environmental NGOs worldwide (the annual budget of the world's largest environmental NGO, WWF, for example, is just $250 million)."

Source: https://www.euronews.com/2018/10/24/tying-ourselves-to-trees-won-t-solve-climate-change-view


If the environmental damages of the goods and services that I am purchasing can be neutralized by paying an extra 1%, I wouldn't mind paying the 1% extra at all. How about you guys?

I've seen many projects about this but it seems most of them are lacking on something. Carbon credit market is a billion dollar industry and applying blockchain will be good for both industry.

I am believe it will be a new industry in near future. Peoples right now already aware about environment and they want a clean energy. I am believe there is a blockchain project about carbon credit because blochchain is good technology and can applied in many thing


I hope so too. Carbon credits is one of the solutions to slow down global warming and fight climate change but it is failing due to iliquidity and lacks o transparency. I believe if there is a good blockchain project that will handle carbon credits properly, it will serve its purpose properly.

Many project ICOs doing this and one of that is Zero Carbon Project. Its UK based project with good team. Carbon is world issue and i am believe it will going good project for crypto community

I checked with them yesterday. I saw some sentences on their articles that are a bit questionable. For example, there is one article that says you can buy carbon credits through their market, but when I ask them on Telegram, they said ZCP doesn't sell carbon credits. So I stopped and maybe will just check with them again after few months.

Someone posted here about Veridium. Also a carbon credit marketplace. They sell carbon credits and the credits are verifiable through IHS Markit. Which is a good point.

A lot of good green projects recently. I hope these projects will be successful. It will be very beneficial for both blockchain and carbon trading market.

Carbon credit market is a billion dollar industry and applying blockchain will be good for both industry.

It might further questionable political agendas and help to grow crypto markets while legitimizing blockchain technology. Aside from that it won't accomplish much.

The reason carbon credits don't work is they fail to address the real factors affecting our climate. Emissions aren't the main concern. The real issue is between 20% and 80% of the world's natural forests being cut down which greatly reduces the earth's capacity to absorb carbon. Trees function as natural carbon sinks, trapping carbon and storing it for many years.

The secondary issue is: drought. Trees absorb water from their roots and evaporate it through their leaves. This evaporated water generates rainfall. Rising occurrence of drought in the world is also linked to deforestation. If you want concrete evidence of this, deforestation of the amazon rainforest in brazil is linked to their drought issues.

The ideal policies to address climate change are: afforestation. Seed bombings. Addressing desertification.

I agree that one of the biggest concern here is deforestation. I have read an article recently that saving the forests and vegetation is as urgent as reducing the global carbon emissions. This is also one of the reasons why carbon credit is important. There are groups that sells carbon credits and uses the funds to protect forests and vegetation.

Have you heard about infinite-earth? One of their projects is the Rimba Raya Reserve. The Reserve provides, preserves and protects 65,000 hectares of peat swamp forest, hundreds of at risk mammal species and providing community development programs for 16 villages. And yes, they provide offset solutions to customers in the developed world while protecting the planet and its resources.

In addition to the issues you mentioned, I will be adding a possible third one: Corruption. Carbon credits are difficult to trade and track. It lacks transparency. At the moment, the only solution I see to resolve this is by using blockchain.


The way policies like carbon credits are issued is also extremely disproportionate. America's business is punished far more severely than business in china, despite chinese business being vastly more polluting and environmentally damaging than american business. In that we could see political angles being revealed in how the establishment chooses to pursue issues relating to climate change.

I can't comment much on this since this is kind of political issues. But to what I see, America is doing way better than China in reducing carbon emissions. I heard that China launched their carbon trading market at the end of 2017. I hope that there will be a decrease on their carbon emissions.

the carbon credit market isn't helping for lowering carbon emissions.It should be banned.
We could create a new coin-CARBONCOIN and the mining of that coin should be reducing carbon emissions by using green technologies,such as solar panel and wind turbines. Grin
That's just an idea...

I have a different opinion on that. The money that was used to purchase the carbon credits are invested depending on the institution where the carbon credits are bought. Some of them uses the funds to either plant more trees, prevents deforestation, closing companies that are known carbon emitters, investing on green energy, etc. Carbon credits haven’t worked because they are illiquid, difficult to track, hard to calculate, and are not standardized. This is where blockchain will comes in. I saw an interesting project who's planning to automate the world's carbon market but I'll study more about it and share it here.

Also, I think that it is much better that no mining is involve for green tokens as it breaks the purpose.

For my country (Ukraine), the topic of carbon credits is not at all familiar. We just figured out the blockchain and mastered the cryptocurrency market. Hopefully, we will also be able to have a good project that will unite crypto and the struggle for a good ecology.

Carbon credit is a permit that allows a country or organization to produce a certain amount of carbon emissions and that can be traded if the full allowance is not used. (according to google)

This is one of the solutions that was created to reduce global carbon emissions and prevent dangerous climate change. However, carbon credits trading is complicated and difficult to track. Blockchain's being immutable and can be verified easily could create an opportunity for us to have a more liquid and more transparent trading market for carbon.

1 carbon credit represents 1 ton of real carbon.

Yes, that is a good idea. Applying Blockchain on the carbon credit market will help both of the industries. But, it is hard to predict exactly how much it will help them.

I know that carbon credits are complicated to track and trade. This is one of the area that I am seeing as an opportunity for blockchain to solve.
