Topic: [ANN][SLR] SolarCoin - PoW reward for solar energy | the GREEN KING of Crypto - page 42. (Read 138370 times)

This is being discussed by the Board, but we're delaying action on outreach to big businesses until after the Foundation is legally incorporated, Bylaws finalized, etc.

See this item in the recent Board meeting minutes:

I don't think that's the reason. I moved some of my bids from AllCrypt to Bittrex and some of them got filled, which was a significant chunk of the volume. Other people apparently got bids filled on Bittrex too, or bought into some of the asks, which accounted for the rest of the volume spike. Now today, a bunch of coins got dumped on Bittrex and I managed to get a bid filled in the 800s, which I consider to be a great price for a long-term investment in this coin. I hope more people will put up bids on Bittrex at these awesome prices.

Have all the solarcoin miners warmed to the thought of letting PoS complete the distribution of mined coins?  Does anyone know what the foundation thinks of this idea?  Have their thoughts been posted anywhere?

Volume is starting to diminish on allcrypt.

Coins need a steady flow of news or happenings…need to find ways to increase coin value.  I don't see why the Foundation doesn't approach the big boys in the industry for solarcoin investment $? A steady flow of investment $ could easily be converted into coin revenue…which would significantly raise the valuation.

I think the spike on bittrex was due to allcrypt being down for maintenance for a awhile (at that time).

Not sure. But we're currently ranked #81 by volume out of a total of 156 coins they list. So we're right in the middle. But that's with a 24-hour volume of 0.49 BTC, which is the highest we've been there in a while. If most SLR trading moves to Bittrex, we can hopefully keep at or above that level as our average daily volume instead of just a good day. In fact, until recently we were doing over 1 BTC per day on AllCrypt.

There are only a few cryptocurrencies that have a real purpose. SolarCoin is one of them. If you believe in renewable energy and the environment, SolarCoin is the logical currency to support, because we have a mission and plan as a charitable foundation to encourage the growth of clean renewable solar energy.

Thanks for your interest in SolarCoin.

Anyone can mine the coin. But the purpose of mining for SolarCoin is just to get some coins into the hands of supporters of the project. The SolarCoin Foundation is a charitable nonprofit which gives grants to producers of solar energy at a rate of §1 SLR per Megawatt-hour. Grants have already started on a small scale, and eventually we hope that millions of solar electricity generators -- people with panels on their roofs as well as utilities -- will claim their SolarCoin grants. Mining rewards will be significantly reduced over time, or possibly even ended with a switch to Proof of Stake, so mine them while you can.

Detailed information is available in the FAQ at SolarCoin.org.

I saw that. I can't find it on the pools either. Looks to be a solo miner.

Not sure what's up but some high hashing going on right now (800+ Mh/s)…breaking the pattern, as there's still 600+ blocks at 10+ diff?

Glad to see something with real purpose like curecoin!

Sorry, but i dont understand how this works, it appears anyone can mine this coin, so how does it know if your on solar power or not?

Yes, I just read about this last night! The said on Twitter something about only keeping 30 low volume coins listed, so I thanked them again for listing SolarCoin.

I bought some there yesterday and noticed the volume was over 30,000 SLR. I wonder what the level is that they consider "low volume"?

I tried that during my testing and it didn't work. I changed my pass phrase so there were no spaces (had read to try that) and still couldn't get it to work. So I gave up. But thankfully it does work perfectly on an unencrypted wallet, takes a minute or two though.

we all need to pitch in and dump more btc instead of selling slr put up buy walls

Hi SolarCoin investors and traders,

Recently Bittrex started de-listing coins that didn't have much trading volume. Fortunately they kept SolarCoin, even though we had very low volume on Bittrex until recently. I guess they must like our concept or believe in our potential. 

Even with the recent uptick in volume for SolarCoin on Bittrex, we are still one of their low-volume coins, so we must be on the lookout for potential de-listing and do what we can to prevent it. They announced that they will de-list more coins twice a week from now on.

Bittrex is the only large exchange with a BTC-SLR trading pair. We need to make sure we stay listed there. I'm going to do my part by doing most of my SLR trading on Bittrex from now on. I encourage you to join me, so that we can build up enough volume there to be safe from the possibility of de-listing.

To add coins from a paper wallet to a encrypted wallet i believe you just have to unlock the wallet in the debug menu for a few minutes then you can import the paper wallet.

I know this is probably pretty basic for most of you in this forum, but I did up an instruction guide on how to access SLR from a paper wallet. It's over on the SLR forums, hopefully it will be of use to someone.

You can see the coding progress for the diff adjustment here: https://github.com/solarcoin/solarcoin/network Don't ask me what any of it means, I'm not a programmer, I just thought it was a fun resource to look at.

Also, the Board reached out to Sunuser this week to see if he was still interested in helping out but he declined. It's too bad too, I was going to throw §5000 his way as thanks for the help! Not to mention what bounties may come along in the future from the Foundation for any work being done. But apparently Sunuser has moved on and is now a dev for a different coin, I don't know which one but I wish him all the best. We all have our own projects and work to attend to, so to each their own.

I just thought I would update the community so that you know we are making efforts to bring others in to help with things. While we all want everything to be done yesterday, these things DO take time to ensure things are done correctly. It's of paramount importance that there are no negative impacts to current users as a result of the change. Unfortunately we are light on volunteers with coding skills and those who might be willing to help generally start out by asking how much we're gonna pay them and are unwilling to provide any confirmation on their identity, even when it is strictly held privately by the Board. I understand the aversion to that, anonymity is a cozy and comfortable place to be and means that you never have to take responsibility for your actions, even if those actions are good. But as a board member and believer in the future of SolarCoin, I am absolutely OK with putting my real name out there. I'm willing to take that risk because I want this coin to succeed and I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people to identify themselves when it comes to certain things. If they choose not to share that information, that is their choice, no harm no foul.

As for testing, volunteers are being brought in to help with hash power. Doug and Justin are coordinating that effort so if you are interested, please post or contact them in the SLR forums or fill out a Volunteer form at solarcoin.org and mention this specifically.

I'll do my best to help keep this forum updated with how things are going!
