Added my vote - fingers crossed!

As the emission protocol stands, yes. But here is a few points to consider:

• Maximum inflation could be 7% annual. It is very reasonable to think growth will, perhaps easily, offset this.
• It will only be 7% annual if ALL coins are staked ALL the time. Neither are true. We estimate it to be closer to 3% from observations and statistical data is being recorded every hour to provide an accurate number.
• Coins get lost. Given the yobit fiasco and support tickets, I would venture to guess more than 7% annual already may have been. While these coins do still technically exist, they will most likely never see the light of circulation again.

Not specifically in regards to supply but, to look at any software and think it will not evolve over many years is irrational. We know in fact it must and will. With both the consensus needed by the network and the openness of the foundation board and community, you can rest assured knowing that when it does it will always do so in the best interest of the community. Policies are being drafted to ensure this will be the way EverGreenCoin continues past any of our lives.

Yes, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure I read a great article about it a few months ago but I'm not sure where (and don't think I bookmarked it).

The real issue is if the inflation/growth is too high (as is the case with a few cryptos - there are a few at 100% or more), new coins will devalue the existing coins and only encourages people to hoard coins. If your not staking them your coins will effectively decrease in value.

With EverGreenCoin the rate of growth is relatively low (currently maximum of 7% but as already mentioned it's going to be lower overall). At a rate like that the value of each individual coin shouldn't be affected by new coins being created because the new coins created a day is relatively low.

All are welcome! See you there!

EverGreenCoin v1.8 source code has been committed, https://github.com/EverGreenCoinDev/EverGreenCoin/releases/tag/v1.8.0.0

Seednodes are being upgrade whilst I compose this. Exchanges will be contacted after all seednodes are upgraded and known to be stable.

Windows and Mac binaries will be prepared ASAP. Barring any changes needed for those builds, cosmetics if any, the mentioned code will be used. The public release of Windows and Mac binaries will be slightly delayed for marketing reasons after their compiling and final testing, but only for a day or two. Please join us in Discord if you can't stand to wait, as community members there will have early access despite the marketing wait. Please know this marketing wait is as requested and to build hype. Please retweet or tweet! Team members are exploring options for a twitter campaign. If any bounties are offered, we will surely inform here.

EverGreenCoin v1.8 is not a required upgrade. However; to benefit the many functional and aesthetic improvements, it is and will be strongly advised. It is nice! You'll be happy you did.

To the treetop!

p.s. I will get a video update for the month of September recorded ASAP. You can guess the star of that agenda! Due to time limitations, I may do that during the marketing wait window and when public release date will be known.

Woohoo - looking forward to using the new wallet =)

Maintaining various packages for various distributions would be a large and time consuming undertaking. Especially for a small team that needs to fill many roles. But perhaps in the future!

However; Fedora users wanting to build v1.8 now will find this useful: https://github.com/CryptoCanary/EverGreenCoin-boost-1.66

It did work for matteo96, but please remember to install all dependencies first.

Currently for a small number of users (I'm a Fedora user as well) it's not really worth building packages for Linux Platforms (particularly as there's such a large variety if we were to also try and do package builds for Ubuntu/Debian/Raspbian etc. Linux Packages are something I'd like to do at some point (RPM and DEB) but there are other things that are more important first.

I've taken the original wiki documentation we had for building the command line version on a variety of Linuxes (include Fedora27) and (hopefully) made it easier to read as well as updating it for different versions of the code (currently tested 1.7.3 and 1.8 QT and Command line on Fedora 27).

It looks like there might be a couple of other bits to add for Fedora 28 (seeing the discussion last night) which I'll work on and try and integrate into that documentation, (un)fortunately Fedora tends to be very close to the bleeding edge (but usually well tested) so we see the issues of updated packages before they make it through to the Debian and Ubuntu world.

The updated wiki page with all this is on https://wiki.evergreencoin.org/wiki/Software/Fedora

Mac users: Your v1.8 binary is still being worked on at this hour. It will be delivered ASAP, an announcement made, the above link updated and this post removed at that time. Thanks for your patience!

The upgrade itself does not require a resync. One only needs to run their new executable and not their old.

Glad you got it sorted.
