THe last few months have been great. Solarcoin is expanding at a great rate. I would be happy if the price held at this level for a few months and built a base. If it keeps going up I'm concerned about a big drop. Would rather take the slow and steady approach where new investors do not get burned.

No one will ever get burned, it will just take investing more money after the drop. They can hedge their positions all the way down to a satoshi if needed and at that point they will be able to use their coin too at merchants and maybe even for solar with this kind of bitcoin on the buy side. Of course the volume could be fake but I feel it is real and people want to change out their Bitcoin for a green alternative, and then later SolarCoin can unhook from the BTCTow truck spewing black plumes of smoke as it speeds down the highway.

Good days ahead for SolarCoin if people hedge and prepare for these distribution (I won't call them Dumps anymore) events... Hedging is the only way to recover from this and if people are serious about investing they will hedge their positions. You should too, it will just prove out participation in the end since the hedge will show the median price point and then the swings will stabilize and create liquidity simultaneously since you can not sell above and must buy below so it locks you in as an investor if you want to eventually make money off your high buy after distribution occurs.

Example... 3 BTC at .0003 and you get 10,000 SLR. The price drops to .0001 so you buy 3 more BTC for 30,000. Now the price drops further and you hedge another 3 BTC at .00005 for 60,000 SLR. You now have 100K of SLR and your new break even point is not .0003 it is .00009. But you will be buying if no one else is buying and replicate this all the way down to a satoshi and you still have a viable coin to use and it is now stable at 1 satoshi, and you can own tons to hedge and if it jumps up to 2 satoshi you can double your money. So that is the hedge and you must think long term on this one, since there will be a point where distribution happens. If large coin holders participate and don't sell it will be smooth sailing to $120 per coin easily. These holders would be silly to crash the market knowing they could have the majority of coin for quite some time.

Lets all message btc-e and request a SLR/BTC and a SLR/LTC pair Smiley Lets make this happen. I already messaged them twice over the last couple of months...   https://support.btc-e1.com/

Also is there any news regarding the addition of Solarcoin on www.uphold.com?
I was an uphold fanboy but then they changed their bank details to a bank in Portugal which makes it a SWIFT transaction for me (Im in the UK) without notification and it left a bit of a sour taste, to be fair its my fault for not checking first but dropping me a note that they had changed would have been good customer service.  I have asked them for SLR a couple of times, perhaps we should mount a little campaign...

Someone is buying solarcoins like crazy my father just sold 5000 SLR to get back his initial investment.
 
He put them on the ask and he was able to sell them in seconds.

I'm not surprised at all  Grin With the recent news about the coin, we will attract many people, who would wish to buy a ticket for the train  Cheesy I hope that more will join soon and they will be enjoying the journey that is ahead of us with a smile on their face Wink

Hi all,

I had an amazing idea while looking at a bunch of pigeons. We are building data loggers that are solar powered that can connect to the solarcoin granting API. We demonstrated this one working last week in London at the Chain-of-things event.
There is an option as we build out to MVP, this is a good idea I think to add a "mesh networking chip" instead of an internet connection chip (e.g. Huawei dongle), or a case with both.

If we have mesh-networked solar powered solarcoin nodes, we are nearly organic. This means no single point of failure (on hardware layer) and no central internet or power needed and no single point of failure on software layer (blockchain).

What's people's thoughts?

Will investigate further.

Best,

mesh architecture seems interesting for resilience redundancy architecture. then at any point a single SMS modem can act as connection point for the live blockchain.

You know what also really annoys me. Eric vorhees and his shitty shapeshift website. Does he want people to buy into all of these pumped scam coins? I have requested solarcoin on several occasions. But instead they add shit like bitcrystals digibyte etc.... I have absolutely no respect for this piece of garbage exchange. even though the idea is great

I sent uphold a message and they are only focused on VOX which they mishandled horribly. I think after Polinex add SLR other exchanges will take note. What we really need is a Chinese exchange to pick it up. Then we go past the moon into outer space.

Haha VOX makes me laugh. Its such a joke that people even buy these coins... We need to show the exchanges that we want to trade real quality cryptos like SLR. I mean come on we are still only number 27 on coinmarketcap. We deserve to be in the top 5 and everyone here knows this

I'm not too worried... I don't think new investors will get burned. It's actually still quite cheap compared to other coins with less potential. I honestly think we will see SLR trading above 1$ in the very near future ... I can tell you where people will get burned: They will be upset if they buy LISK or DASH and all of that other crap

I understand LISK, ETH and even XCP since you can write programs/smart contracts. What I don't understand is every other coin out there. Solar is unique and I think may become a commodity one day that can be traded against fiat. That is a long day in the future though.

I love how nature can bring about ideas. I don't quite understand the difference between the Internet connected nodes and the mesh ones.

Are there any unique security issues with mesh networks?
I think its a great idea and absolutely in line with the ethos.
