I found this directory of organizations connected with SolarCoin. It's a great idea to compile it all in one place:
http://www.community.solar/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/SolarCoinDirectory2018Q1.pdf

ACWA Power - http://www.acwapower.com
Community.Solar - https://www.community.solar/coin
ekWateur - https://ekwateur.fr
ExelSolar - http://www.exelsolar.com
Lykke - https://www.lykke.com
Narec Distributed Energy - http://www.narecde.co.uk
Smappee - https://www.smappee.com/uk/home
SolarAid - https://solar-aid.org/can-solarcoin-help-light-africa
SolarLux - https://www.solarlux.energy

Solcrypto - https://www.solcrypto.com, www.solarcoin.or.jp
The Sun Exchange - https://thesunexchange.com

In might also be worth adding:
Com-Guard.com and TGI Solar Power Group

I'm not so sure it will ALWAYS be daytrader controlled, because the definition of daytrading is buying a position that you expect to close within the same business day. I truly hope that the price will eventually be "investor" controlled rather than "daytrader" controlled. That was my point. I define "investors" as those who buy a position to hold for a somewhat long period (rather than sell within 8-12 hours), and most of these "investors" will likely come from the group of people who own solar pv and are receiving SLR grants. The expectation is that the people receiving SLR grants will be excited enough about it that they might go to an exchange to buy even more SLR. So when we have a million SLR users all receiving SLR grants, then the amount of SLR "investors" will far outweigh the quick-profit daytraders. Hopefully anyway.

And 98 billion does not seem to be too many. The founder of bitcoin had a small vision with only 21 million coins and bitcoin has far outgrown that vision and now it is getting squashed with overpriced transaction fees among other problems. 98 billion total SLR envisions the whole world to be using solar power. Limiting the SLR total supply to only 1 billion limits this vision especially when one considers that there are about 1.5 billion households in the world. Dream big!

Only the 33 Million would be Swapped out. 98B could stay the same.

Well trading in general is the problem. I proposed a Magic number. Guess what that was... The wholesale cost of power. If the PEG were to be used in transactions then people would realize they can trade for things that their panels generated. People giving a product may take the face value of the Trade even if used. Kind of like getting back money they lost to depreciation.

Investors vs Traders are like Bull and Bear markets. The markets were meant for liquidity to get costs out of goods sold. How can you do business with SLR at these levels? It just can't sustain. Yet anyone taking the risk now could be paid off later. Perhaps merchants with huge margins could get in. But the best option would be to INCENTIVIZE Solar. Manufacturer with a Glut of older product, they accept and create a market. People now buy SLR to use for purchasing outdated Solar. It still works and doesn't deplete their current market. Now it also raises the price of SLR to then incentivize their sales of NEW Solar panels. Claimers can SELL to BUYERS getting the old Panels. It is reciprocal. It incentivizes Solar which is what Solarcoin is about. Not incentivizing Profit takers...

Aww, I see, very intriguing! And I've read some of your older posts, you have some very interesting ideas Smiley Well then we have to find a way to get manufacturers to accept SLR in payment. Essentially that would be them "investing" in SLR.

This video is definitely worth watching, especially if you are interested in where energy and automotive technology is headed in the next 10-15 years. It also confirms that SLR is the BEST coin to HODL long term, because by the year 2030, we can expect that 100% of worldwide energy production will be solar!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b3ttqYDwF0

I know renewable energy and electric vehicle are the future. but how far, how long Sad((
with such a small market like cryptocurrentcy (specially recently). it's too easy to control some small marketcap like SLR or some others.
so sad that ... even btc is being controlled.
anyway, Sad(, I really want this project to rise and wellknow, and success ofcouse. one of the very best idea out there.

Maybe for now the price can be manipulated but that happens because the majority of SolarCoin owners are cryptocurrency day traders and NOT solar pv owners. But we KNOW that solar pv production is going to skyrocket in the coming years, and since SLR is free to pv owners, then that means that soon the majority of SLR holders will be the solar community and not the day trader community. And the solar community will have a much greater desire for the long-term success of SLR especially since they get ongoing regular grants twice a year. It is only a matter of time before the price is dictated predominately by the solar power community and not the day-trading gambling addicts who dump all their coins because either (1) they're bored or (2) they just found a new up-and-coming coin that they want to put all their money into.

Just be patient. Everyone I convince to buy SLR, I also convince them that this is a LONG-TERM buy and they should hold for 5-10 years or more (the year 2025 is the target I have in mind, especially in consideration of this Seba video). Long-term SLR is one of the BEST bets in the cryptocurrency world. SLR should see at least the $20-50 range 5-10 years from now, and very possibly it will be sooner than that!

I take it you are new to this thread. Check my prior posts. The price will always be a day trader controlled. There is no other reason to buy SLR other than Profit, anyone claiming wants to sell to offset their Solar investment. Buy low sell high. Were the coin to get distributed then it would take off. One thing that could happen is what is called a Swap of Coin. 33 Million get reduced to 33,000 or 330K. The market cap stays the same. No difference in price just less coin. But now the claim coin is more intrinsic. It has much more power than the Market Cap. Since it can sell and crush the buy walls then any day traders must supplement the claimers now. It may lower the price for a while but this would incentivize people to claim since there are only 33K coins.

I listed other ways to make this go viral with Manufacturers selling their glut of old panels for SLR. Then people buy SLR to get old panels and the median price point now shifts to meet that demand. It may not be super high but it would be much higher and sustainable for sure.

Rewarding people for producing renewable energy and not for consume energy and financing the mining industry, like Bitcoin is a huge benefit.
Instead of dumping coins to finance the energy consumption, most solar power producer see the the real value of this coin and don't gonna dump it now.

I wish the project great success and a steady climb up the ladder.

such a good coin, but some good news can do nothing in such a terrible time like this.
hope it reach the point in 2nd quarter.
I was expecting this to rise at least 30 times as this price. so still a good point to buy. but...this definitely a long term investment...

sad a little, but I still holding. this coin got my faith, and very gooddddd purpose, can not deny such a good thing

I hear that, I'm holding this coin at least until it hits $20, expecting it to eventually go to $50 or more.

Anybody else having problems with wallet connecting to network?  Looks like mine hasn't since 1/26 as no staking since then, Ive tried re-downloading blackchain with fresh wallet and even it won't connect to anything.  Reboots and all normal stuff doesn't seem to resolve, highly unusual for me with this wallet so thought I'd ask to see if others having any troubles or if maybe I need some nodes or something.


Saw a problem with the main addnode sometimes refusing connections, it was raised on github and the dev made some additional nodes, try adding to solarcoin.conf

addnode=139.162.244.34
addnode=88.198.92.47
addnode=162.243.214.120

I also made my own unofficial one for the community

addnode=scalextrixsolarcoin.ddns.net

Otherwise check your firewall.


Take 4 nodes and call me in the morning, just what the doctor ordered...immediate 6 connections lol.....thanks brother!!

My wallet has worked in good condition so far. Your case is seemed to be very weird. I hope to add nodes works.
