Where are you seeing that difficulty posted? cryptopoolmining stats?

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!!! 

39 difficulty!!! WTH?? 

no sense in jumping the gun to push up the price when miners continue to dump.

Solar was moving up nicely but it looks like the miners jumped in and dumped on the bid.

Please get this block reduction done asap

TIA

I'd say comfortably $1.00-$1.50. I have a lot of repairs that need to get done to the house before I even think about adding a system, so $1.50 would be enough. That would mean the SLR market cap would have to be $40,000,000 however. In a year I don't see that happening. In 3 years however I do see a lot of activity, especially if everything is worked out and the grant program is moving full steam ahead.

Think about when they are $1

it sure is hard to buy coins for 800 satoshis when they were just 300 satoshis 2 days ago.

I will happily help - particularly as I am looking at a similar, block chain based, application for work.  PM me - my address is in your pool details, as I would rather not discuss on open forum.

I am very glad that you are able to mine

In fact, server has enough capacity for high loads but we will see   Only disadvantage is my lack of experience, if there is anyone in the forum who wants to help, I happily accept it  

And again, if Solarcoin Board requests, I can give server admin rights and pool admin user password.

I am using very basic email service Did you check your spam folder ?

I registered but my confirmation email was never received.

 

I am not an expert about these issues maybe someone else can answer your questions

I am trying the pool with some hashpower and found 2 blocks so far  I hope it works smoothly because it belongs to the solarcoin community.

Awesome! I'll try it out when one of my contracts comes up later today.

I have a stupid question though... Is there such a thing as staking pools for PoS? And, if so, how does that work exactly?

#91 and climbing. Nice. 

Finally I managed to setup a Solarcoin Pool  

I am mining there now and testing block finds and payments. This pool is mostly for learning purposes. When the new source code available, I will update it. If the big pools refuses to upgrade, we can use this pool. If needed, I can give administrator user and passwords to the Solarcoin Board.

It uses a medium size server with 2 cores and 3.5GB ram. I can easily upgrade server later.

The SolarCoin "IPO" is almost over... Talk about hiding in plain sight, I think we've mastered it people!  

On another, more important note. I've been wondering, if you had a 10kW system on your house (which I am planning to do as soon as I can afford it) and you have had it since 2010 which is as far back as the initial grant will go, then we know that you can claim around 60 SLR from the Generator pool immediately AND you continually get grants for another 7.5 SLR every six months (as we are temporarily set up now for grants) for as long as that system generates solar electricity. My question is this (and I don't know the answer):

What value would SolarCoin need to be (in fiat) for you to take the 5 minutes to claim those coins? Keeping in mind that if you stake them in a PoS model you could also earn 1.5% on those holdings?

Next question: What value would SolarCoin need to be for you to actively go out and purchase a system to generate solar power?

I think the first question is more relevant for the next 6 months to a year let's say and should be easier to answer. The second question has more variables as the time line moves out and is more difficult to predict. So let's stick with the first question.

Is it $0.10? $0.50? $1? More? My personal opinion is north of $1 somewhere but I'm highly biased.  

Whatever that number is on average is where we need to be in the next 6-12 months to ensure the mission becomes successful.

Back into the top 100 on coinmarketcap.

Next stop 1000 and then... To the sun!!!
