Topic: [ANN][SLR] SolarCoin - PoW reward for solar energy | the GREEN KING of Crypto - page 57. (Read 138370 times)

Solarcoin is not going to make it to Mintpal until it gains much more popularity in the cryptoworld. I gave up voting on Mintpal a long time ago. I'm in it for the long haul. This coin is only a few months old, so there really is no hurry to get the price to skyrocket now. A long slow climb means more stability anyway, rather than a quick spike up to $1/share, which would be followed by a quick drop back down to $0.1/share.

Ok, so I logged on to MintPal to cast my votes and they changed it!!! On the plus side, we are now showing at 23rd spot, up one. On the down side, it's just one vote an hour and it won't let me vote because it says I need more trade history. Does anyone know how much trade history you actually need to be able to vote???

They also increased the cost, 1 vote now costs 0.001 BTC. We'd need 16,365 votes to get to #1 will cost over 16 bitcoins but with the other changes, the cost hasn't really changed to buy your way in.

Still, I can't vote without a larger trade history. Does anyone know more about this?

Exciting times folks!!! 

I'm still mining exclusively Solarcoin, and I haven't sold a lick. I'm a believer

The whole cryptocurrency world itself is still new, generally speaking.  There is still a big portion of the population that have no idea on what a Bitcoin actually is or even that the term Bitcoin exists.

Over time all of this will change, as will Solarcoin's future.  Again, sleeping giant...

I agree completely. Solarcoin doesn't not need the backing of the cryptoworld because it will be the first altcoin to gain popularity in the non-cryptoworld.

This is exactly why I have been mining solarcoin. It IS the sleeping giant.

looks like you got a few thousand.

that was me eating up the ask today  

lol same here haha

Great point. I think you're right on the money with that observation.

One thing you can say about Solarcoin is that we are becoming recognized through the media.  Unfortunately we are not being recognized through the cryptoworld and becoming popular, for now.  This will all eventually turn around and EXPLODE as the Solarcoin initiative takes off.

Most coins do it the opposite way...  Get popular through the cryptoworld, then the media.  EX. Dogecoin...  We're just doing it the other way around.  Patience will pay off in the end!!!

There is that... I am also trying to grow my position, so it is nice from that perspective. Most of my friends, co-workers and relatives have small positions as well and this lack of exposure has given me time to help them with their purchases. I'm like a small time SolarCoin broker who doesn't charge a fee.

Your numbers are right. People see huge premine and blow right past. Few bother to look at the board of directors and the volunteers that are coming into the project. These aren't people living in their grandmothers attic.

Go ahead, keep on ignoring Solarcoin. I need to build up my stash.

I have to go the vote route, I don't have two bitcoins to rub together. LOL

I see BeeCoin blew past us today... WTF?  Before bed last night, we had 25,997 votes. Almost 24 hours later we have 26,040. We got 43 votes in a day and 10 of them are mine. 

Sigh... Someone please tell me I have those numbers wrong.

good stuff I see two ways to get listed we all put up some btc and get it listed or vote each hour/everyday   btw  shirts still available

I can tell you I won't be selling you any of mine but give it a few days and some miner will come along and do a big dump. You'll get filled. The bids will then fill up again. The price has been extraordinarily stable considering we aren't even on a big exchange yet. When we do get on an exchange like Cryptsy or MintPal, the supply won't change much but the demand will go up just by being listed. And that means one thing, the price will go up.

I know that I have no intention of selling any of my holdings until it reaches $1 and even then, I'll only sell enough to pay off some debts. I intend to hold the majority for the next 4-5 years and see this project through as it makes the transition to full-on grant stage. I will also use some for transaction purposes as more places become willing to accept them for payment.

If this project doesn't work, then none of it will matter because we'll end up living on a planet in 25-40 years that likely won't be worth living on anyway. The climate is passing the event horizon right now towards runaway global warming. We have to do something very, very soon to salvage it. Solar everywhere within 5 years is the only solution that is affordable and CAN be achieved. But governments and Oil & Gas have their heads shoved so far up each others asses that it won't happen if they have any say in the matter. The only way this can happen is if the people do it themselves. And they won't do it unless there is some financial incentive because that is just how people are in today's day and age. Even the minority few who buy into the climate hoax bullshit would get solar panels if they thought there was a buck in it for them.

This can work but it will only happen if we put sweat into the game. It's that important.

We need volunteers, we need exposure, we need on a bigger exchange in the short term, we need to spread the word.

Call me a raving climate lunatic all you want but I can guarantee you one thing, Mother Earth doesn't give a flying fuck about humans. And Mother Earth is approaching a singularity of her own and she's pointing that clathrate gun right at our heads and most people are so caught up in frivolous distractions that they'd rather believe a lie than face an inconvenient truth.

My apologies if I've offended anyone with my potty mouth. However, if I've offended someone because they think climate change is a "hoax" perpetrated by Al Gore, please say so publically so I can add you to my ignore list.

That is all. 

I want to say I read something about the devs interest in kimoto. There's a lot of activity going on behind the scenes it seems. They're pretty responsive to issues when they arise. The difficulty issue just hasn't been one yet I guess.

I'm still mining happily with only 1.5 mh/s even with the diff around 4~5.

Anyway, I just placed a Buy order @ allcrypt if anyone really want to sell his solar coins..

Even without multipools this is ridiculous 

Well multipools just don't seem to be interested in Solarcoin....  Not just yet anyway....
