     Discussion of incorporation, in which the following key points were raised:
        Generator and Genesis Pools may need to be governed by different legal entities.
        Possibility of dividing the Generator Pool to be governed by multiple legal entities in multiple countries.
        Importance of flexibility to be able to change jurisdictions if necessary.

        Need to consult with attorneys in jurisdictions of interest prior to establishing complex legal structures, e.g. multiple entities.
        Importance of establishing legal existence of the SolarCoin Foundation in a simple way as soon as possible.

YES!

Last two points important. First 3 points INCREDIBLE FREAKING IDEA!

So in short, YES!

"There is enough sunlight that falls on the Earth every hour to generate enough electricity for the planet for a year."

As long as the sun still shines on the earth, we will always have solar power.

I also want to let you all know that Nick Gogerty, the Chair of our new Economics & Monetary Policy Committee, did make his report to the Board by July 5 as stated in the minutes, and all the remaining Board members agree to pursue his plan for a gradual reduction of block reward of SolarCoin to bring down the very high inflation rate that has been keeping the price suppressed. The Board has not officially voted yet to implement the change, but unless people suddenly change their minds, it looks like it will occur in the near future.

Dear SolarCoin Community:

We are sorry to have to announce that Doug Felmann has decided to resign from the Board of Governors of the SolarCoin Foundation. His resignation was for personal reasons.

We all want to express our heartfelt thanks to Doug for the great work he has done as a volunteer and member of the Board to help the cause of SolarCoin.

We are already in the process of considering other candidates to replace Doug on the Board, and will let the community know when his replacement has been chosen.

Dear SolarCoin Community:

As stated in the minutes of our July 2 meeting, the Board of Governors of the SolarCoin Foundation has voted unanimously to approve the following draft of the SolarCoin Charter. A lot of editing has gone into this, and we'd like to hear your feedback! Please comment publicly in this thread or in the thread on the SolarCoin forum, or if you prefer you can comment privately through the contact form on our website.

The SolarCoin Mission:

Recognizing the value of renewable energy for the economy and environment, the SolarCoin Foundation strives to increase global solar electricity generation. To achieve this mission, the Foundation provides economic incentives to producers of solar energy in the form of a digital currency called SolarCoin.

Goals & Scope:

The SolarCoin Foundation grants one SolarCoin (§1) to community-verified solar electricity generators for each megawatt-hour (1 MWh) of solar electricity produced. The Foundation also grants SolarCoins each year to environmental charities, nonprofits and worthy ventures consistent with our mission. Sufficient quantities of SolarCoin are believed to have been created and are held in reserve to fulfill these goals for the next 40 years.

Community & Governance:

The SolarCoin Foundation is a global not-for-profit community of volunteers and supporters who champion the SolarCoin mission. The community is led by a 5-member Board of Governors who pledge to uphold the SolarCoin Foundation Bylaws in pursuit of the mission and goals.

The Bylaws explain the activities, roles, responsibilities and operating constraints of Foundation volunteers and personnel; criteria for membership and roles of members in governance; and procedures for selecting Governors, developing organizational policies, and amending the Bylaws and Charter.

SolarCoin Recipients, Users & Supporters:

The SolarCoin Foundation encourages individuals, businesses and organizations to consider the uses and benefits of SolarCoin. Use SolarCoin to buy, sell, invest, trade, donate, give or receive and you are contributing to the mission by generating solar-based economic activity. Thank you for embracing the vision of a better world we can create together through our voluntary economic actions.

We are taking comments during a 4-week community feedback period starting today, after which the Board will make final edits and officially ratify the Charter. We look forward to hearing and considering your input.

Thank you,

Eric Stetson

I have internet!!! But it's only at work and I'm not supposed to be posting here but figured I'd give an update in case anyone missed me the last number of days.  Kiss

Thanks to tropical storm Arthur, I have been forcibly removed from the parallel universe that is the Internet. See here: http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/canada/newbrunswick/story/1.2699549 Apparently we won't have power back until possibly Friday now. I spent Saturday and Sunday divorced from "reality" and frantic that I couldn't do my normal routine of obsessing over everthing SolarCoin. But then as I calmed down, smoked some naturally occuring substances and chilled out, I found some serious peace in the quiet. You never notice the hum of electricity in the air until it's gone. At first it makes you feel creepy and isololated but then as acceptance descends you start to gain a little perspective on this thing called life. Smiley

With that in mind, I think my soul is deserving of a break. I did a quick check this morning of the markets and the mining pools and everything seems to be humming along nicely, so it appears my presence isn't necessary. You folks seem to have things well in hand. Smiley With that in mind, I am going to continue a much needed break, focus on life without the internet and avoid the noise and confusion of life a little while longer.

*Hugs*

Any idea what the new block reward will be? 1 to 5 solarcoins every minute would really make the price go up.

The Board hasn't decided that yet, but several possibilities have been discussed. The general feeling is that if we reduce it, to do it gradually over a period of anywhere from several weeks to several months, but no consensus yet on the details. There's also the question of whether to reduce the block reward before switching to PoS or wait and do it as part of a switch to PoS. There are both economics considerations (currency valuation and attractiveness to generators) and technical considerations (security of the network).

Please be patient on this; it was the one thing the Board didn't have time to reach a decision yet in our recent meeting. It's the next thing on our list to decide about.

Let all the premine lose and then we will see the whole value.. if there is any.

But how would that incentive solar energy? Are the miners just supposed to give up their rewards for the cause? Where does that leave the first investors who believe in the currency? Where will the incentive come from? Why am I even asking you these questions? Why is the sky blue? Can turtles fly? Where do babies come from? Maybe we should ask wall street investors to just lend corporations their money in return for what? Gratitude?


The general consensus is that "premine" is evil, but that is because with most coins the premine is solely for the dev to make a quick buck. But with solarcoin, the premine is what allows for solar power grants, which will ultimately be the source of value for this coin. If you get rid of solarcoin's premine, solarcoin will die, and the entire purpose behind the project will be null and void.

The problem is that there is no way to verify where the coins are going.
He could easily claim that he paid this and that and actually dump the coins.

Besides...what are people going to do with the coin?
Nothing. They just dump it to cover cost.

Can you do something else?
By the time the distribution end we will either have thorium reactors or nuclear fussion



The main flaw in your argument is, Buck Rogers was supposed to be lost in time somewhere around 1987. Also there is a way to verify where the coins are going by following something called a "blockchain". Also Solarcoin is a currency vehicle, what can't you do with currency? Just because I don't accept Mexican Pesos doesn't mean someone else, say in Mexico doesn't.

The Bittrex circles on the top right showing the buys/sales 50 levels deep has changed dramatically in the last week. Many more buys showing up compared to offers. Keep an eye on that, it seems to be signalling a change.

Dead coin or pretty much alive and growing coin?

From an organizational development standpoint, about to become more alive than ever before.

We had our second Board meeting yesterday and minutes will hopefully be ready to publish to the community within the next few days. Some important decisions were made.

Great to hear!   Smiley
