Lumo Press release on solarcoin and electricchain:  http://solarcoin.org/en/lumo-joins-the-electricchain-solar-energy-blockchain-project-distributor-of-the-solarcoin-digital-asset/

The only ARM wallet right now is Luke's Bitseed node. Give it time though.

Has anyone loaded the solarcoin wallet on Raspberry PI?

After importing into the new client, did you also re-scan the wallet? It's an important necessary step. You can do so now and then check your latest transactions and balance. Please let us know. Thanks!

Hi there all,

There seems to be something wrong with solar coin.When i start up the latest client, it starts syncing the blockchain as normal but when i send some coins to an exchange address, this is what happens: the coins reflect as broadcast through 4 sometimes more nodes in my wallet.But when i lookup the destination address in the online blockexplorer at cryptochain a few days later it still does not show there and also not in my exchange account. This could only mean that the transaction is not getting confirmed. But what is happening here? What is the fix for this problem.My wallet was created when solar first arrived on the scene, and I just imported it into the new client.


Thanks to all for the feedback

Thanks Nick, once you learn about flows/ panarchy and Phi(m) you tend to analyze the world very differently and a lot of things make more sense from an evolutionary perspective. SolarCoin has a lot of strong points in this new paradigm or evolutionary step.

Here is what went down in Belgium last week.  http://www.mo.be/nieuws/betrouwbaar-geld-voor-zonne-energie

Big point for Luke. He get flows/ panarchy and Phi(m)  just FYI the first academic citation for my economics book The Nature of Value, was Eric J. Chaisson astrophysicist who discovered  the Phi(M) principle of evolution which scales from cosmos to Economy and beyond.    The foundation thinks deeply....

Good blog if you're interested in this area. Even though Earth is an open-system panarchy, there are finite resources (on planet) and that drives flow through the system for faster flows in animate and inanimate objects.

A conversation with him about the constructual law of the universe and energy minimum principle in an open system panarchy- open high load node system vs. centralized high load system would be great I think. SolarCoin is following low-load open system at the moment but needs to get more nodes and become more robust and popular to transition to a high-load system. Also his opinion on where to influence automation backup parameters and anti-fragile in this future scenario would be helpful too.
Apparently we are all in a simulation also.  http://motherboard.vice.com/read/elon-musk-simulated-universe-hypothesis
 

I just set mine!

lfloorwalker Thanks for sharing!

+1 lfloorwalker.  I really appreciate all of the hard work you guys have been doing for this project.  This Coin has braved the weather over the years and I think people are really starting to see it's value.

Btw soon I will become a Full Member here on bitcointalk (I could become a Hero by now considering that my registration is from late 2013 lol ) and that will give me the opportunity to put an avatar on my profile - I was looking at that Solarcoin logo and I will put it for sure, once I have the option to do so and that gave me a thought - what do you guys think about some signature campaign for Solarcoin? I know that most of the people who use them are mostly talking all kind of crap to max out their payment by the end of the month, but maybe with some sort of signature campaign we can get more people in the community and the distribution of the coin? This is just a thought tho - I don't know if it's a good or a bad idea... So what do you guys think?

How does exporting energy to the grid imply a commodity for people to participate in? The power company and the individual are the participants and that is not a marketable item in either direction, you can buy stock in the Utility though. The public utility controls everyone involved. It is like you are saying every home owner with orange trees is now a part of the Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice Commodity yet they drink their own Juice and don't even freeze it, but they stare at their trees every day so they concentrated it. If homeowners freeze and sell their oranges they compete with the FOJC and have no bearing in the market but could still affect the market more than what Solar Coin can in any way shape or form. This is why it is a flight mile incentive and worth what people will pay for it. Not a commodity but a stock since it slides up and down the market based on nothing but pure speculation. Like I said 1 satoshi per SLR would make the coin stable and still have an 8 Billion dollar market cap. Considering there is not much to buy 8 Billion is way over the top! They could also dole out the 20 years in 1 payment at 1 satoshi and get the coin rolling.

So I agree with you on the Small amount of people holding all the coin. I had proposed ideas to no avail. It is too bad that the blockchain could not be restarted at zero and have claimers own the only coin. Then people buy the coin to own some or claim their solar and keep it to use or sell it. Then SLR can be somewhat rare depending on claims and has a purpose, mostly for the intended purpose of incentivizing solar. That is why I say roll in the 33 Mil coin at current market cap so no one loses money and then allow the claimers to jump ahead of the pack.

I am stating that ideally if you use your money to buy Solar you don't have any to buy SLR with. If you use your Bitcoin to buy Solar you don't have any to buy SLR with. It is not that no one will buy SLR on the exchanges, this will happen regardless. So the catch 22 comes down to this very simply. By claiming solar you won't have that much SLR to buy things with. Do claimers then think to themselves... I have this claim of 5 coins and I would like to buy something with their Solar Coin. What can I buy with 5 Coins? Not much, so I will sell to BitCoin and then sell to Fiat. Or would you think they would say to themselves... I will go buy Bitcoin and then Buy SLR and then go buy what I need or wait until what I need is sold in SLR? They could just go buy what they need in Fiat right now. So most likely the SLR will be sold off and not come back in as Bitcoin. If everyone moves over from BitCoin to only have SolarCoin then great swap them out and this is the only scenario that works ideally. But people will get stuck in SolarCoin when those who hold Bitcoin manipulate the market up to 10,000 a coin. Everyone left to solarcoin but now have to sell SolarCoin to Bitcoin just to be liquid. Pretty crazy huh.

It's a catch 22. So you can only hope that people who hold Bitcoin just want to switch over to SolarCoin. This is the only viable scenario, but SolarCoin is tied to BitCoin always in order to stay liquid. The 33 Million will profit since they do nothing and cost them near to nothing. Everyone else can pay what they think it is worth and get stuck in manipulated markets forcing them to take losses since you can not compete with the PoW coin at any pace. People who understand markets can Hedge their positions but it just means more money out of pocket just to stabilize their positions while PoW coin and Claim coin rains down on their heads. Where the median price is will be the big question and we won't really know until all the 33 Million are disbursed. You can't truly know when since they can buy and sell to themselves and pounce on your positions.

Hi everyone,

I want to write a short story about our time in London at the Hackathon last week.
In total I was away for about 80 hours and 34 hours flying and about 40 hours in London.

I want to emphasize that all was paid in SolarCoin. Flights, accommodation and our eating expenses and transport.

This was the next morning in London after I landed. I managed to transit through Korea from Tokyo and pay all of the train fees on the Wirex card for airport transfers in Tokyo.
In Korea I tried to buy a sandwich at starbucks and they rejected the Mastercard, it worked 2.5 hours earlier in Tokyo. Nothing had changed on the balance as I was tracking it in the APP. On the surface mastercard has the same logo, but underneath there are so many systems and I feel that they are very different in each country. For example in Japan you can enter your pin. In Korea you don't need a pin but just sign. If you sign wrong, it doesn't work. They get you to sign on this digital tablet and it is so difficult to get your signature correct! The resolution isn't fine enough.
Very cold and rainy when I arrived. My umbrella flew away! I was wandering around London looking for a Bitcoin ATM to withdraw fiat cash (for a bit of backup) and I went to three different locations. Location 1 had a network error in their ATM and said that they were fixing it. I went to location 2 and they said the ATM was no longer there. Finally I went to the third location and i couldn't even locate the shop. So no luck getting fiat cash from an ATM.

For the rest of the trip I had to pay on mastercard. And also use my backup Paypal account (not SolarCoin's) so it wasn't entirely successful.

Breakfast when I still had some cash. It was about 9 pounds for a cup of tea and some cereal. One thing about London is getting inside when it is raining and miserable outside and having a warm cup of tea.

We met up with the team, hacked away in the hotel a bit and then went to the hardware store.
I met Francois and Johann and we walked into the hardware store, bought this wood and then took a black cab to the venue. All very funny really. Especially getting that huge piece of timber into the black cab!

Scalextrix dropped the battery off earlier in the hotel lobby and the hotel said that they were taking care of it. It is a huge 22kg lead-acid battery and without Scalextrix help we would have been a "bit of a tight spot!" The hotel lobby misplaced our battery! After Adam and crew called an Uber and we basically walked behind the hotel reception and told them where to find the battery we were able to finally get all of the equipment down to the Rainmakers Loft.

Now the real build began. We spent about 3 hours building up the system. By the way this was after a few beers down at the pub while we were waiting to get into the event space. We were meant to get into there after 3pm as the BBC were still filming but at 5:40pm and still in the pub I got concerned and we just went down to the loft and asked to get in.
They wanted us out by 8pm! That's basically impossible as there was a lot of wiring to be done.
So we wired away and started getting the nodes turned on etc. Finally by 9pm were at a point that we were happy to come back early at 7:30 am to finish up before 9am when the session began.

Pretty cool event and open office space in London. Picture taken at 9pm.

Lunch on the first day with all of the organization crew! Chain-of-things, ElectriCChain and Solcrypto!
Wow this was such a great lunch where finally after months of talking and planning with each other on the internet and virtually we could finally meet!

The kit turned on at the presentation!
We couldn't get the block count right on the Bitseed node (anyone have some thoughts on that please contact me). But we got communication from the data-logger kWh generation to the Solcrypto cloud platform and then a wrapper to the SolarCoin API. This is still ongoing.

It seems that we have started something here! This is the picture of the winners of the conference hackathon ideas. They made a presentation that is going to tap the green energy markets to then crowd-fund solar plants in developing countries. It is very interesting. There were a few other great ideas there too. It seems we may have begun to make a new industry called "blockchain energy."

Flying back to Japan for me, a few of them stayed on longer but I had to rush back.

Overall it was a great project, and this project is still ongoing as we transition to a minimum viable product. At least by November this year!!

Thanks to all who funded on the crowd-raise. There is still some budget left over and we are discussing how to allocate that for future ELCC projects. Please also lend your suggestions!!

Best,

Lol I was thinking about that ~2 months ago or something, when they landed the Falcon 9 rocket back to the earth successfully   Actually I think that at some point the Solarcoin Foundation must try to speak to him in some way and get his interest - if he manage to invest in the coin it will be huge   Imagine all the people he knows and the connections he has - even a tweet from him saying something positive about Solarcoin will get many people interested
