Just out of interest: Why are there suddenly 39,146,979 SLR in circulation? How do 3-4 Million SLR just magically get added to the supply and where did they come from? 
It looks like the wallet generated a new address due to a grant and mixed coins around. That's what it appears like to me.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/slr/block.dws?1461199.htm
4.5 mil looks like it went to an internal wallet address. There was only 1 transaction for 20k slr.
Correct Corather. Usually during granting a final transaction is made to send the additional remaining eTX out address balance back to the initial address. This will be done and the circulating balance which is a chron job (batch function on a clock) performed by the 3rd party chainz explorer will reflect the old balance shortly.

Does anyone have any skills with a massive press release to all the solar community? So far its my understanding that we have not did anything like this and just have organic growth.
Could grow the network really really fast

Bittrex has indicated they are now running Version 2.1.8 of solarcoin.
Lykke pool is still open. Currently has 25% of required 1.1m solarcoins. participants earn 50% of market making fees with a 1yr lock-up.
for reference Bittrex does about $1k/[email protected]% fees. assuming $1k/day x 365= $9.125k/yr = SLR 140,000
If market making offered the same returns as fees* spread over 1.1m slr that would equate to a 12.7% return*. split 50%/50% with Lykke=6.35%. Not a bad yield.
*Lots of assumptions there of course. Do your own math and due diligence.

Bittrex has indicated they are now running Version 2.1.8 of solarcoin.
November 15, 2016, 04:21:35 PM
Action Required! Mandatory update to 2.1.8 using the wallet’s Check for Update feature, or downloading it from the solarcoin.org website.
SolarCoin Community,
Thank-you for your patience as we get through this fork. We rolled out 2.1.6 to reduce the minimum transaction fee from 0.001 to 0.0001, with a fork scheduled for block height 1440000. Because this was not a hard-fork, it opened the door for 2.1.1 nodes to reject transactions for not paying the minimum fee of 0.001. This was expected to cause a soft fork, which it did. However, I suspect that when transactions were sent from 2.1.1 nodes to 2.1.6 nodes, this also created a third fork among the 2.1.6 nodes.
We tried to remedy this in 2.1.7 by creating a hard fork, bumping the protocol version from 70004 to 70005, and blocking nodes on older protocols. This was somewhat successful. However, there were still 2.1.7 nodes creating mini-forks. We issued 2.1.7.1, which added four new blockchain checkpoints, and required more node connections before allowing a wallet to stake. Because this was not a staking issue, but a transaction fee issue, those on 2.1.7.1 that were not sending transactions (i.e. the master node, explorers and many in the community) managed to stay in sync.
We are actively testing version, 2.1.8, which retains the reduced transaction fee (SLR 0.0001), and reverts all of the special forking logic back to a code state equivalent to 2.1.1 (but still using protocol version 70005, which blocks 2.1.1 nodes).
Please update your Qt wallet ASAP to 2.1.8 and begin staking so we can get the network stable again.
Note: This update forces a Blockchain Reload. After the reload, please rescan your wallet.
We will notify the exchanges and explorer ASAP. The website will be updated later today.

I have a huge problem. When Im connected with my ISP I CAN'T download anything from the Solarcoin website anymore. Its crazy but someone I think my ISP is blocking everything. When I connect with a VPN it suddenly works. Thats why I wasn't getting any new bocks from the new Version yesterday. I guess ill have to run my node on a VPN now. what a bunch of jerks
I'm installing VPNS on my nodes and should have them back up soon
Call your ISP, it could be a configuration problem inside your modem. After the hurricane that blew through here my modems file got corrupted, comcast had to resend a valid file to the modem because I could access some websites but others just wouldn't download.
solarcoin site will get an SSL certificate and all applications and programs will be getting developer certified by MSFT and AAPL developer programs ASAP.
This is excellent news
Keep up all the great work. Felling really bullish about SLR recently! Loving itA word of caution if you are trading on Bittrex. I have not confirmed that they have updated to 2.1.8. I'll post here when it's confirmed.

Thanks for the heads up. I havnt sent any coins to bittrex but I need to withdraw a few once their wallet comes back online

When I connect with a VPN it suddenly works. Thats why I wasn't getting any new bocks from the new Version yesterday. I guess ill have to run my node on a VPN now. what a bunch of jerks
I'm installing VPNS on my nodes and should have them back up soon
Call your ISP, it could be a configuration problem inside your modem. After the hurricane that blew through here my modems file got corrupted, comcast had to resend a valid file to the modem because I could access some websites but others just wouldn't download.
Unfortunately I'm 100% sure that my provider is blocking some ports...Which is why im going to terminate my contract that has been running with this company since 1992. I cant wrap my head around this Bullshit.
I'm in Europe so I doubt the storm would have affected my modem :p
It could also be a coordinated attack directed towards my node. (Sounds a but paranoid but what else could it be)
- I have tried everything: I can download any files from any website except www.Solarcoin.org (I have tried on 4 different computers that all use the same internet connection. Sometimes downloads will start and fail and most of the time it wont even start. It also takes ages to load the Solarcoin website. (this also explains why I was unable to sync with the blockchain yesterday. Basically all connnections to the Solarcoin website have been blocked/restriced.
I have been running a full node for a while now and I remember my ISP blocking the ports I forwarded for the Solarcoin client.
So I was able to install a VPN and reload the blockchain just now and im back and staking.
Im still not sure what it is exaclty but im pretty sure its a combination of someone ddod'sing my node and my ISP blocking certain connections.
But my wallet is finally back online and staking again on the correct chain

Thank-you for your patience as we get through this fork. We rolled out 2.1.6 to reduce the minimum transaction fee from 0.001 to 0.0001, with a fork scheduled for block height 1440000. Because this was not a hard-fork, it opened the door for 2.1.1 nodes to reject transactions for not paying the minimum fee of 0.001. This was expected to cause a soft fork, which it did. However, I suspect that when transactions were sent from 2.1.1 nodes to 2.1.6 nodes, this also created a third fork among the 2.1.6 nodes.
We tried to remedy this in 2.1.7 by creating a hard fork, bumping the protocol version from 70004 to 70005, and blocking nodes on older protocols. This was somewhat successful. However, there were still 2.1.7 nodes creating mini-forks. We issued 2.1.7.1, which added four new blockchain checkpoints, and required more node connections before allowing a wallet to stake. Because this was not a staking issue, but a transaction fee issue, those on 2.1.7.1 that were not sending transactions (i.e. the master node, explorers and many in the community) managed to stay in sync.
We are actively testing version, 2.1.8, which retains the reduced transaction fee (SLR 0.0001), and reverts all of the special forking logic back to a code state equivalent to 2.1.1 (but still using protocol version 70005, which blocks 2.1.1 nodes).
Please update your Qt wallet ASAP to 2.1.8 and begin staking so we can get the network stable again.
Note: This update forces a Blockchain Reload. After the reload, please rescan your wallet.
We will notify the exchanges and explorer ASAP. The website will be updated later today.

I have a huge problem. When Im connected with my ISP I CAN'T download anything from the Solarcoin website anymore. Its crazy but someone I think my ISP is blocking everything. When I connect with a VPN it suddenly works. Thats why I wasn't getting any new bocks from the new Version yesterday. I guess ill have to run my node on a VPN now. what a bunch of jerks
I'm installing VPNS on my nodes and should have them back up soon
Call your ISP, it could be a configuration problem inside your modem. After the hurricane that blew through here my modems file got corrupted, comcast had to resend a valid file to the modem because I could access some websites but others just wouldn't download.
