Einsteinium was created with 3 critical missions in mind:  

1) Goodwill Mission
2) Increase Valuation Mission
and
3) The Philanthropic Mission

Our Goodwill Mission is to tell everyone in the cryptocurrency world, the scientific world, and the charity world that we are here.   Our Increase Valuation Mission is to preserve and increase the public market value of our currency such as to make it an attractive investment opportunity.  And, our Philanthropic Mission is to, in some small way, fund scientific research.  

This project -- The Havekes Project (named after Dr Havekes), will benefit the grant recipient, but it will also help in the redevelopment of Einsteinium (the coin, foundation, and community).

In an effort to maximize community participation and performance Dr. Havekes has authorized the following graduated incentives:

The foundation guaranteed a minimum of $1M EMC2 equal to ~$500.   If the crowd funding campaign received more than 1M EMC2 (~$500) from outside of foundation resource the foundation would be reimbursed for initial deposits.  The financial incentives are activated when the campaign reaches $1000:

At level 1 the goal is $1,000  up to $1999, at this level EMC2 will receive 10% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

At level 2 the goal is $2,000  up to $4999, at this level EMC2 will receive 15% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

At level 3 the goal is $5,000  up to $9999, at this level EMC2 will receive 20% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

At level 4 the goal is $10,000  up to $49,999, at this level EMC2 will receive 22% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

At level 5 the goal is $50,000  or more EMC2 will receive 25% of amount raised, this will be used to pay for campaign fees charged by the site and Paypal, campaign perks (if not covered by sponsors), and a stipend to campaign workers for reaching this level of success.

The campaign staff for the Havekes project are:

- The Fundraising Committee - to generate funds for the campaign  
- The Communications Committee - to keep the media well informed  
- The Marketing Committee - to tell everyone else to support the effort  
- The Finance committee - to oversee the finances  

The amount paid to EMC2 above any reimbursement, site fees, paypal fees, and perks not covered by sponsors, will be allocated as follows:
20% to the chairman of the fundraising committee, 20% to the top producer, 18% to the runner-up, and the balance of incentive funds will be shared equally between the remaining registered paid campaign workers (the remaining members of the Fundraising Committee, the Communications Committee chair, the Marketing Committee chair, and the Treasurer).

The President will oversee all operations and be acting Treasurer, he will appoint the Fundraising Committee Chair, Communications Committee Chair, and the Marketing Committee Chair.   All other members of the Fundraising Committee are self-appointed, the roll is open until the close of appointments.   Once we start the campaign no new names will be added to the list of paid campaign associates.

Please indicate if you would like to be involved with the campaign and to what extent, everyone will be considered.

Job descriptions will be detailed shortly.

I am a new investor. I bought couple of 100's EMC2 coins lately.

I need help here!!
My local windows 32 bit desktop wallet cannot sync. For example it's complaining "No Block Source Available"
Einsteinium Version: v0.87.1-unk-beta.

https://sites.google.com/site/einsteiniumbiz/_/rsrc/1415619041320/photos/emc2%20rank%20109.png

Rank is improving, from 127 to 109  in 4 days.   Did you see that Cryptsy spike worth 1M EMC2?

Please recommend Science projects to the board for grant consideration.




 

Hey,

Can anyone tell me why for the past odd week the coins I mined (Not many, ~2000) and transfered to Poloniex are sitting on 6 pending and haven't moved? I still can't use my coins, sent them on the 25th of the last month.

I want to transfer some btc onto poloniex to buy more EMC2 but a bit worried now.

Thanks for any help.

Hi all

just a reminder that we do have an EMC2 faucet located @ http://einsteinium.altcoinfaucet.net/

Please feel free to donate to the faucet if you are in a position to do so (wallet address EKUXQ9fyLypFvtAg5ELvhpcSntdxyCjogF)

I topped it up with 1000 coins from my own wallet after it ran dry a few days ago, and the balance is already back down to 564 EMC2.

ok,i did all that few times.Still no conections....My Os is 32bit.
Thanks

Hi all

We have an urgent need for a working, reliable block explorer for EMC2.  Unfortunately this is going to cost 0.05 btc for 6 months for a block explorer however it does come with search functionality & hosting is included: example http://root.explorer.ssdpool.com:9083/

A rich list can also be included for an additional 0.04 btc (for 6 months) - total = 0.09 BTC

We are open to donations to fund this much needed functionality. If any of you would like to assist with this can you please send whatever you can afford to this unique donation address - EU4P6pey6uXy8a9Xtog4ZxeeNS5PGDBx5t (as noted in our ANN post on the 1st page of this thread).

If anyone would like to sponsor this for 6 mths or more, we will place your sponsorship banner/logo/message on the site. If you are interested please let us know here or PM myself or Armis with your requirement.

Edit: Correction made to costings as above (thanks to Armis for pointing this out)

 

Yeah Armis, What's your offer?

I got about 6M emc2 as well if you want to purchase them.

WOW...this is knockout!  

Thank you so much Saso, on behalf of the new team. It's things such as this that inspire us to move ahead with our plans for EMC2 when the going is tough. I couldnt believe it when I got a PM from Armis this morning with a subject line of '50,000 donation'...just awe-inspiring...

For those people not aware, www.titanbit.net will be offering a way to buy EMC2 with fiat (check their website for more info), and as such will be one of (if not the only way) to do so.

Saso, I will add your exchange details to our ANN post together with your logo. Check back soon, and thanks again for being a partner in the new EMC2 venture

The following has been added to our original ANN post (under Press & Articles):
------------------------------------
Poloniex Giveaway! - We can do it but we need YOUR help!!
             
YOU the community have asked for it - We have provided it. As a result of your demand for change, and your support, EMC2 is now under NEW leadership. We have a great team, but we need YOUR support. To publicise EMC2 further, we are looking at the inclusion of EMC2 in the regular Poloniex exchange giveaway. To qualify, we must raise a minimum 150,000 EMC2. We are therefore looking for members of the EMC2 community to make a donation of EMC2, your time, tweets, or reposts in other forums about this cause, to help us raise these funds. Please refer to recent posts for more info & a formal donation address or send to our trust fund! - EKnqTC9XEuucZEhD3miDGnbJxBptcxhByA
-----------------------------------

More to follow...

This will be the final round of voting to decide between PoS (Proof of Stake) or PoW using some Scrypt based mining alternative. Please weigh the options carefully and make sure to vote accordingly. This new vote will be running for 2 1/2 weeks and concluded on Saturday, July 19th. Share the word and let's get as many votes as possible.

Write in votes will be considered and accepted if the member has an actual post history.

So what's it going to be, PoW or PoS? Is that your final answer?
