Has anyone used this and understands the public-private key engine and what algo it is using?

I'd say it's getting traction. The year end review was well written and highlights the shift in strategy in the technology. Things have changed for the better and they continue to improve. We've gone from a scrypt 100 SLR block reward to a well written PoST implementation by the skilled Vericoin devs (Thank you Steve!), which is right inline with the philosophy behind the Solarcoin mission, carbon friendly and with that a lower block reward to fix the inflation issue and help make claims more attractive. There's now technology discussion about changing the claimants premine to a generation algo and securing it with smart contract technology. Two websites are now online and processing claims for Solarcoin generation, both (I think both) of which are also staking wallets for claimants. The devs have always been accessible and open to new ideas on how to improve the technology.

It's a good time to be involved with Solarcoin. The idea alone of creating another much needed feed in tariff for solar energy is a great one. I loved the idea from the start. That was the original intent, but it's possible this coins technology and management might take it to a higher level in the future by using Solarcoin to sell and buy energy within a smart solar grid, increasing utility even further, not even to mention the idea of using the coins claims as a scientific tool to track solar radiation at least in the beginning on a quarterly scale, and possibly near real time in the future as the smart contract technology becomes implemented.

Yeah, I'm a bit excited about the future.

I don't think I have ever seen volume over 2 to 3 BTC per day.  We are at 7 BTC right now and only on two exchanges!!.  This coin is either getting traction or is it just another pump or dump...  Either way I'm going to try and take advantage of these prices.  I have a feeling we will be hitting .10 by the end of the year.  To the Sun!!!

Nice volume on the buy side today.

Great! I think SLR deserves to be on uphold for a number of reasons:

-Their vision is and I quote "Join the world's fastest growing platform for moving, converting​, transacting ​and holding ANY form of money or commodity"
With all the madness going in right now in Bitcoin, I think it would be a smart move to add a innovative coin Like Solarcoin. A coin that has a vision and it set out to make this world a better place. Just like the vision they have!

Solarcoin has the potential to become a real competitor to Bitcoin! I remember the CEO of Uphold saying he doesn't think bitcoin will be around for long anymore. I disagree but that's not the point. Would't it make sense to add an alternative cryptocurrency to their Portfolio?

This would also help Solarcoin a lot because it's a shame it's only really traded on bittrex. The whole point of projects like these is decentralization and unfortunately at the moment the market is very centralized.

If I was the CEO of uphold I would get in touch with large SLR holders to try and get a deal on a large amount of coins.
It's really a no brainer to me, Solarcoin is waaaay more interesting than much larger competitors like Dash or even litecoin.
Last but not least I would love to add some SLR to a Solarcoin Card if it existed. I like the idea behind Uphold so I decided to trust them with a bit of my money. Solarcoin is my favorite commodity so I would add some of my coins to my uphold portfolio right away.

Anyway nice that you're in touch with the uphold team. keep us updated   It would be great to see them make the first move. Either way I believe some big company will take notice of Solarcoin sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.

hi Corather, you can reach out to steve woods at vericoin.  The TX message was code from Florincode which should also available online. Should be in the source.

I went in with a hex editor and took a look at the blockchain. I was rather shocked at the simplicity. Does anyone know how the transaction ID is encoded in the chain itself? Is it standard Bitcoin method? If so I'll just look up the bitcoin blockchain documentation. I'm fairly certain I can bang out some ms basic and get an idea of what I want to do with the data. The idea is to simply write something like blockchain.info, but with added lat/long data mapping for scientific purposes in such a way you can simply download the needed data in comma separated format.

I greatly appreciate it

does anyone know anyone here to talk with?  http://www.renewablechoice.com/about/team/  

would be a great claimant and way to grow community.  Major bounty for person who can land them.

That guy above you, Nick Gogerty is one.

Who is in charge of or represents the solarcoin foundation, may I ask? 

Id like to have them consider potentially doing a beyond bitcoin hangout to chat with them about this project.

It was a bad week for Bitcoin - not only cryptsy, but also that Mike Hearn guy... Anyway I'm glad that we are not affected by it. Like you said - Time to shine

Nice coin thinking to invest some bit coins on it.
