WOW........6%, lucky man:-)

January 24, 2014. It was a cold night in central New Brunswick (though not as cold as it used to be when I was a kid...). I had spent the day reading everything I could find on the internet about SolarCoin. I read a CoinDesk article the night before as I was reading my Twitter feed in my pajamas and decided I needed to check this coin out. After deciding I definitely could be excited about something like this, I then forced my head into the confusing and utterly frustrating world of solo-mining and pool mining and all that jazz, desperately trying to figure it out. I finally managed to get solo mining working on my laptop right before bed. When I woke up the next morning, my poor little laptop was straining from the heat but I solved a block!!! Yes, dammit, I did. I was so excited, looking back it really is pretty funny how excited I actually was. 
It was Block 25848. I wonder if that's my lucky number?

Great story i set my moms computer up for solo moning and by the time i looked up at the screen she had found a block.
After that it took half a day for her next block

Its great to see the board so active today.
I also remeber my first 10,000 solarcoins i was so happy lol
Now myself and family have about 6% of the total outstanding solarcoins in cold storage

And I remember how excited I was when I got to 20,000. Those were the days!! I thought at the time it would never happen that I could get to 100,000. Boy did I read that wrong!!! LMAO
Those were the days!! I thought at the time it would never happen that I could get to 100,000. Boy did I read that wrong!!! LMAOhah! I was excited when I got my first 1,000 back in January and I even almost quit mining SLR at that point, but I just wasn't interested in mining anything else.
I remember that too.
I was using my laptop and hubbies computer and cranking out about 5 SLR an hour. I though I was the bomb... 
Then I bought the 450 KHs miner and was getting about 500 a day (until it crashed and fried and burned on me, the PoS...). When it got listed, I realized it was much easier to just buy them. Still, I enjoyed those 500 SLR per day and I'd still be mining if the video card hadn't been a dud.LOL - there are some who haven't burnt out a video card or ASIC - yet....
I've been mining/accumulating for months, and have a good bundle.
While my GPUs have served their purpose, at the current hash rates, I've been using the proceeds from my KNC Bitcoin miners to steadily accumulate more solarcoins. Along with my early mining, I've been buying at many different prices over the last few months, and am not too worried about the current prices I pay, as it will mean very little in the long run...when time makes these prices look amazing

Any idea when we will have the fork details set in stone?
I have no idea. I'm not privy to those discussions. I do get some related e-mails but I don't know any significant details that Eric hasn't already shared. I had lunch with Eric this past weekend and got to meet him. We had a fantastic brunch, yapped and chatted for 3 hours.
Anyway, he is in communication with the developer we're using and is on top of the situation. Eric is very good at disseminating the details to us, so once things get nailed down, I expect we'll hear from him. I know who the developer is but I don't know if a firm timeline has been figured out yet other than "a few weeks" and that could mean anything I suppose. August 05, 2014, 08:26:21 PM

It also could have been someone buying a contract for 200 MHs and they fat fingered it and put 2 in the box instead of 0.2. I did that once. I intended to purchase 50 MHs and instead of putting 0.05 in I put 0.5. My bitcoin was half gone before I realized what I did!

39 difficulty!!! WTH?? 
Perhaps we are witnessing a grown up pump?
That seems really bizarre to me, hash power jumping to 2.4 GHS like that for just a few minutes and not coming from any pool... Given current rates at Nicehash, that kind of hash power needs a 2000 satoshi price to support it. So either someone is actively hoarding via solo-mining with a huge rig, or those display values aren't right. I did some digging and it could just be a display problem, (see here: https://github.com/MPOS/php-mpos/issues/2080) which isn't a big deal given we are switching algos soon. If it isn't a display glitch, then it is very interesting indeed!!!
Where are you seeing that difficulty posted? cryptopoolmining stats?
Yeah and you can see the last 2016 blocks here too: http://184.73.159.72/chain/SolarCoin?hi=266338
Quite a bit of power there - look at the chain.... Somebody believes in SLR

Half a million here - just a transfer account :
http://blockexplorer.solarcoin.org/address/8boeMGJXczJsouGYqS1ryqwo93qCMcCj3u
That makes me wonder how many people own at least half a million SLR.
I have just over 350k and I've been accumulating that since Allcrypt listed SLR. I imagine there are people involved with more resources than I have who likely have much more.

I just redid the math in my spreadsheet using Nicehash costs staying constant at 0.6 and the breakeven value at a 40 difficulty is around 1350 satoshis. Nobody is their right mind would mine at that rate to turn around and dump, it's a losing proposition. They must be holding for speculative reasons assuming it will go past 1350 at some point in the near future. Or it could be someone stockpiling while they can easily do so. I've been mining instead of buying for a while now, I find it more fun to watch. But I certainly can't afford to buy much past 50 MHs for a few days at a time. 2 GHs is way above my capabilities.

found it. I see what you mean. With those difficulty levels, I might as well sell my miner now.

Here is one of the blocks showing the 39.567 difficulty: http://blockexplorer.solarcoin.org/block/e0732f5f4e1bf9ad045c30ef15ed8ddbe9e641600465d555361f3dc4673b6a51
This doesn't show the hash rate though but when I saw it on cryptopoolmining, I noted the hash rate at the time.
