honestly if you want to stake and don't have enough coins, I would just periodically buy the # of coins from the exchange that you would've gotten in a 3,6, or 12 month time-frame rather than trying to keep you wallet running 24/7 looking for blocks.
For example I just buy a few dozen SLR every few months to represent what I would've gotten from staking, its easy since the coin is still so cheap & staking at this point isn't worth it unless you have a spare computer or just really want to support the network out of good will.

If anyone could spare some coins so I can start staking it'd be appreciated 8ZaxzKRPx9fdpTJYQ8H4LddXSKgb6cR6X2
1k on the way.. welcome to the team
I sent another 500,2
Welcome to the community!
Thankyou...
What would be a good amount of Solarcoin to have in my wallet for staking?
A couple hundred thousand will get you a decent amount of blocks a day. However the sell order book on bittrex is very thin, so it might be impossible to buy that many coins without making the price go through the roof...
Guess I'll just sit on what I have then T don't have the coinage for a few 100k... Thanks again.

Only just heard about SolarCoin and I liked the idea behind the coin from the start. Anything to encourage the use a solar power is definitely a good idea in my books.
Installed the wallet and submitted my SolarCoin Generator Registration last night so now I just wait I guess.

sell off on Bittrex is obviously happening.. have patience and get your SLR below 1500 Satoshis (.000015 btc) each because it CAN go that low & you can benefit from that Cool

Looks like you are wrong. The sell off already happened Wink I put my money where my mouth is and almost bought 100K SLR under 0.00001800. Cool
Well done that was a good price, I was a bit late to the party there!

How is SLR's difficulty adjusted with POST?
Is it the more coins are staking the more difficult it gets? How is the difficulty calculated otherwise?
I assume it's like that because of bitcoin where the more the difficulty rises the harder it becomes to mine bitcoins...

The white paper explains it: http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/VeriCoinPoSTWhitePaper10May2015.pdf My crude understanding is that basically diff targets a 1 minute block based on historical submitters capacity to discover the block. however consensus on who's solution is "true" is determined by stake weight, so applying more power to be earlier in solution space or distributing computer power to have the most "solutions" submitted doesn't have a direct impact on the reward space outcome.
Thank you , I have not had the time to read all of it yet.

I posted on the SolarCoin Slack #Random channel a way that everyone in the world can benefit from SolarCoin but most coin holders may not get the big picture. Notice how most of the buys on Bittrex are at 1 satoshi. It could work this way too but my idea makes FIAT work hand in hand without any exchanges. Which is the ideal use for Crypto, and the fact that it uses FIAT the Coin is actually considered a Coupon or Airmile as initially stated. But there are other facets to it that are deeper since it could just become the actual money if all participants agree to use it in that capacity. Some may actually agree and others won't but still accept the coin and make merchandising happen easily.

Would it actually be possible to run a full Solarcoin client on a Raspberry Pi and stake?
I am currently running my node using a 400 Watt PC, and it's starting to show in my power bill :p

I purchased a mini pc which runs at virtually nothing and I leave it on 24/7 and it's ticking along nicely generating those coins.
You can pick up the new VivoMini UN42 for around £199 UK and this runs at only 6.5w
Here is the link https://www.asus.com/uk/Mini-PCs/VivoMini_UN42/
That is a REALLY cool PC for long term use, but its pricey, is way too powerful for just an SLR Wallet program, & it doesn't even have a monitor that I can see.. here is an HP made laptop that has all you need and arguably runs at an even lower power consumption rate when the screen and all other programs are disabled >>

Not as cheap as a Pi, but getting there...As notebooks get cheaper and more power efficient I bet we will even see some sold WITH solar panels right out of the box
Thank you guys! I might just try and run the wallet on a raspberry pi
still a lot cheaper than buying a noteook or a mini pc! November 19, 2015, 03:35:10 PM
