Hi again, James. 🙂
Yes, by running your EverGreenCoin software you are helping the network. Your software is yet another point other EverGreenCoin wallets can verify their copy with. Think of it as a power in numbers thing. Even with zero balance, every drop counts and does help!
When you have a balanace and are staking (earning interest) your EverGreenCoin, you help even more so. Because when you are staking, you are helping to process and build the EverGreenCoin blockchain. You are helping to make sure transactions happen securely on the network at that point. You are rewarded for this contribution to the EverGreenCoin network via your 7% annual interest.
It does sound like you will be a very valuable asset to the EverGreenCoin community, given your knowledge and contacts in the renewable energy sector and human rights. That’s awesome and I can’t thank you enough! 🙂
To your later question, I would say a mix of both. At this infancy of this amazing technology, no one knows where we are headed in the future. One thing is certain and already proven: We CAN and WILL do amazing things leveraging this amazing financial technology.
Do not feel ashamed about being new to this technology, few of us are not. The industry is exploding in so many directions, no single person has all the answers. Please do not hesistate to ask questions. The EverGreenCoin community is a kind-hearted group and very helpful. We have an impressive like-minded community. Some real ‘smart cookies’! 🙂 But don’t let that intimidate, we have all asked the same questions at some point or soon will.
Again, I see you as a very valuable asset! Not that each and every community are not valuable, but your knowledge sounds like you are in a unique position to make perhaps some ‘earth-shattering’ contributions. If you can make the community meeting (every Saturday at 17:00 GMT (1 pm EST daylight savings observed) it would be awesome to have you there. If more private communication is preferred or needed, please do not hesitate. I know we have spoken via facebook messenger. If that medium is preferred, that is perfectly fine also.
Thanks again! I look forward to our collaborations and discussions as we help make the world we live in a better place to live!
Great to have you aboard!
