"Everyone needs a good hobby"
How many times have you heard it? Well for me I found in New Eden I had stumbled on one by accident.
Tritanium.
Over the years it just started to accumulate. Piles of it. Impulsive buying of it on the cheap, mining leftovers, reprocessed loot and anything else that would come along.
After a while I decided I wasnÆt simply going to sell it for quick billions, but see how far it would go. Eventually a target formed in mindÆs eye. A number so preposterous it was simply crazy. However, New Eden is a crazy place and the more I thought about it the more I thought û why the heck not?
So the target is clear.
One Trillion Tritanium or 1,000,000,000,000 Tritanium.
Through my own ongoing efforts (yes, it will take time) and through your generous donations I plan to see how far I can go to pile up a mountain of Tritanium that not unlike the EVE Gate is simply an attraction in itself.
Will I ever get there? Can it ever be done? Who really knows, but one this is clear û I canÆt do it alone. So I would like to reach out to ask my fellow Capsuleers for help.
I hope to share the progress with the community, and also have some plans to make the journey interesting for those who take part as we build a monument of one damn cool pile of shiny stuff that will sit there for all time that you know you were a part of.
So I please ask for donations at:
Jita IV û Moon 4 (hopefully other locations soon)
Just throw a few thousand (or million) units in your hold the next time you visit Jita. You can contribute with a simple item exchange contract made out to myself:
Graic Valente
Alternatively,
- Any ISK donation will be accepted to contribute to the project.
- Any material donation will be accepted for reprocessing or sale whichever contributes more to the project.
- Any single Tritanium donation of 10,000,000* or more will place the generous Capsuleer on a "list".
Thanks for reading about the Trillion Tritanium Project.
(* A single donation of Tritanium or ISK equivalent of Tritanium at sell market price only.)

Good luck!
When you reach the 1 trillion, will you dump it all on the market, or use it to build something?

I got a 10 trillion tritanium project. So obviously you should all donate to me instead.

What an indirect, and cunning plan, which essentially is a begging thread in disguise.

Why not just call it the "Hey, I've got a great idea, can everyone come together and give me 2 trillion isk" project?

I think we can be fairly sure that if Chribba was to refine all his veldspar he would get a number of tritanium in excess of what you are aiming for.. Probably far more than what you are aiming for...
This is really a *give me your money please =D"
But good luck!
P.S. If Chribba does post here, how much Veld do you have at the moment?

Well if the burden gets too great you now know who to call. ;)
Even alone I'm happy to just keep plugging away. People collect the strangest things in New Eden and I'm happy to collect about the most common thing of all.
Good luck with the other 2/3rds!
I'll be posting regular updates on The Project. Even if I simply creep along slowly it still pleases me to do so.

Haha no nvm my post, oops  I did a noob.
I have to ask why you have all that veldspar .. I mean other than you love veldspar, this makes me think you actually DO spend all day mining it? I thought it was just a funny character thing, I didn't realise you genuinely were insane.

Yes. 999,999,999 units of Veldspar refine into 3,003,003,000 units of Tritanium.
1/3 of a Trillion would be 333 billions 
edit: also 1B Veldspar??? ... you're a weirdo

I see proof that Chribba takes in the homeless and gives them a purpose on his mining ships.

Yeah that makes sense when someone else says it, goes to show that my math teacher wouldn't be proud of me today either haha
Thanks. And \o/ I'm 1/300(?) on the way instead.
