Solarcoin is what I have been waiting for. Too many copycoins out there that have very little purpose or innovation. I think that once the community embraces this coin (after people research the coin and do not just jump to conclusions after reading the premine code) this coin will take off.

All I can say is, I hope the devs of this coin are legitimate. Since this coin has a centralized aspect the Devs have to be silent? I've only seen Nick step up and say he is a "volunteer". I see that he is only accepting donations for his time on the Solarcoin website.

Nick, what do we know about the Devs of this coin? Who is on the board that controls the majority of these coins? I'm probably missing this information so please forgive me if it's right in front of my face.

One of them is some kind of economist who wrote some sort of paper about reward systems for solar energy generation, but found that it wasn't feasible until crypto-currencies came along. From what I gather, the devs for this coin and the organization behind them is LEGIT, and to consider coins made by random pump & dumpers on the internet with no functional value beyond any other crypto as legit and not this one is just plain silly.

I think some people are weirded out by this coin because of the aforementioned lack of engagement by the devs, but I can assure you that that is not for lack of work going on behind the scenes, and I take it to be a sign that these guys aren't in it to make a quick buck off the premine like so many others are.

I realize it's hard to take it at face value, but I have high hopes that we are going to see really big things from this coin. Sleeper-coin of 2014 in my book.

spot on! Ive done my research too, before i decided to mine this coin and I can only see promising things out of solarcoin.

Are you doing it with solar energy or not? You might ruin the coin if you mine it with nuclear power produced energy.

What is this even supposed to mean??

The Mining Pool: 105 Million SolarCoins (0.1%) to be publicly mined over the next 40 years. All publicly mined SolarCoins represent historically generated and unclaimed solar electricity.
The Generator Pool: 97.5 Billion SolarCoins (99.4%) are currently stored in the OCA non-circulating generation pool account.

This equals to 99.55 premine , right?

yep 99.5%

So what you are saying is:
One person controls the accounts that contain 97.5 Billion + 500 Million Solarcoins.
There is NOTHING preventing this person from dipping into that fund or running off with it.

If solarcoin ever became worth $0.10 that would mean the dev, one man controls an account with access to $9,750,000,000.
I don't care if you are Mahatma fucking Gandhi, I'm not trusting you with that kind of money. You are also centralizing the currency which is the whole fucking reason we've turned to cryptocurrencies in the first place. At least with the fed there isnt a single point of failure. One guy can't run off with 99% of America's money.


MASSIVE FAIL. DO NOT MINE.


Might be worth 10 cents, but where will you find 10 billion dollars worth of trade? If that were to occur the market price would quickly fall to zero as there's a glut of coins on the market. The people behind this coin are some very large movers that have long term vision for this coin and this technology. Decentralization is an important part of Bitcoin but it's not it's only feature that's important. Bitcoin is a store of value pegged to decentralization. Solarcoin is a store of value pegged to energy production. If you can find a way to decentralize Solarcoin, I'd be very interested in hearing about it as would many others. I don't know how an anonymous decentralized currency is supposed verify and pay production claims.

Yes Solarcoin is different. It's very different. The market will decide it's value based on the parameters of the technology and it's performance/claims. Basing your judgement on it's weaknesses is not a good way to compare this coin's potential.
I  agree slr coin is very different  it aims for slow power I cant wait to see what the dev and oca have planned for the the future

Vires in Numeris

The supply of SLR is fully documented and comprised of the following:

  • The Mining Pool: 105 Million SolarCoins (0.1%) to be publicly mined over the next 40 years. All publicly mined SolarCoins represent historically generated and unclaimed solar electricity.
  • The Generator Pool: 97.5 Billion SolarCoins (99.4%) are currently stored in the OCA non-circulating generation pool account. These will be exchanged for “proof of work” claims of solar electricity generation submitted over the next 40 years at the rate of 1 SLR per MWh of solar energy.
  • The Genesis Pool: 500 Million SolarCoins (0.5%) are stored in the genesis pool account for environmental charities, early volunteers, advisers, builders and maintainers of SolarCoin infrastructure. Genesis pool circulation is capped so that it will never represent more than 5% of total SolarCoin in circulation.


So what you are saying is:
One person controls the accounts that contain 97.5 Billion + 500 Million Solarcoins.
There is NOTHING preventing this person from dipping into that fund or running off with it.

Is anyone else having trouble getting their wallet to sync? Downloaded and installed.. even added .conf file... will not sync.

FYI - I have plenty of experience installing and configuring wallets... this one is not being cooperative.

Worked fine for me under windows. Some addnodes from somebody would help...
