Hi There,

Welcome to the ENRG community!

With blockchain you need always nodes 24/7 and more is better than less.
But a node for EnergyCoin can be just a RaspberryPI that consumes less then $ 5,- energy per year.
A bitcoin mining node asks huge amount of energy if they are powerfull enough to get mining rewards.

We fight against the asumption that staking coins costs also lot af energy but that is not true!
The only thing is you net a 24/7 node to get Pos-reward and we can think of Dpos but not a priority for now.
When we have our use cases in the air and we need upgrade to 5.0 technology then we do but not before we have running business.

Have a great day,

Jan

We start soon with serious marketing.
The first step was our Energy Token Platform and now we can easily build applications.
The first one is connecting the www.ring-ring.nu app for bicycle rewarding on our Energy Token Platform www.EnergyExchange.eu

In Dutch, I give a nice interview: RT https://twitter.com/ECF4U/status/960990640829018113
We working on translation and use that also in our marketing soon.
Be aware ENRG is now a bargain and maybe the last chance to get a cheap share.

Have a great day,
Jan

Can somebody answer me, what actually is the purpose of the EnergyCoin?

Email send.

Simple, we serve the Environment and the ultimate goal is beat "the energy wasting Bitcoin".
My motto 4 years ago "EnergyCoin the green Bitcoin of the future"

We have the energy token platform and that is a killer app when we launch the applications that make use of that.
All users need 1 EnergyCoin minimum to make use of the apps and that makes them shareholder of the EnergyCoin Ecosystem.
Check my personal website with examples we want to build and this we can offer worldwide!
EnergyCoin as it is now we can improve to the latest technology if needed.
Miljoens transactions per seconds if needed we can offer with future updates.
The technology we use now is from 2014 but not needed yet to use experimental technology.
If we have paid customers in the energy and environmental sector development is no problem and Foundation owns about 15% of all the ENRG.
With a projected value of € 3,- in 3 years that is about 45M but that is very conservative imo with the team that stands behind this coin!

Hope you understand that we go for #1 or nothing.

Have a great day,
Jan

For anyone who doesn't know, Bitcoin is now using more energy then is used to power the whole of Nigeria.   Thats a nation of 186 million people who are costing less then BTC to send some digits.
 Bitcoin is expensive to process and so its causing a problem some of this is evident in transaction fees.   Energycoin is way more efficient for starters [also its tons faster to use], its fairly reasonable to assume Bitcoin is going to be forced to either radically change or be replaced as its too inefficient.
  All modern capitalist markets are ultimately driven by efficiency and of course this is the nature of technology also, improvements have to be made for true growth

mr. Jan  ,

Can you give me explanation what is " So if you have coins, you get a stake. "  ?
Where i can see this stake  and what is purpose of that ?

A really big deal with proof of stake is the work to transmit transactions is done by the community of wallet holders themselves.   So there isnt the hostage type situation with miners vs actual users of the crypto currency, its a more mutual setup as any fees goes back to the holders of the coin.      It should be in the news for 2018 I think as some big networks might convert to this system from the older POW setup

Any new developments on Energy party? Will we have a new roadmap, whitepaper with timelines anytime soon?

Any plans to have masternodes? They seem to be all the rage these days attracting folks due to the passive income bit especially from established coins such as energy.
