I still not staking 1 week after moving my coin to my wallet and keeping it open as much as possible.  Sad Huh

Hi,

The number of coin decide the 'possibility of making a block'.

And you can get the staking reward, when you generate new block.

So, If you have small number of coin, you have low chance to generate new block ( Low chance to get the reward)



  (The number of coin you are staking )   /   (The total number of stacking coin)  = It is the possibility of making a block of you

Cheers,

So 2000 coins is a low amount of coin?  Embarrassed

You'll hit a stake with that amount within 2 weeks, if you leave it on long enough. I have a wallet with 2300 coins and it's seen a few stakes over a month period.

I could be wrong, but correct me:

You (Solarcoin) are on the way to create an ecosystem with staked coins? But how the ecosystem can work, with FEW coins staked over a month? I mean, which is the precise interests for an owner of solarcells, to bring in his profits into solarcoins?

It's based primarily on claims.

Sometimes I've had to stop the wallet and restart it after a reload.

Hey, I'm having issue with the update process. I download the update but after when the wallet is restarting I get this error.



When I restart the wallet it prompts me to update again, I get this error every time after attempting to update. Any ideas?

Works for me on OSX but I havn't updated my windows wallet yet

I am having this same issue on Windows 7

Make sure you have a backup of your wallet first.

On Windows 7, left click on the windows jewel and type %appdata%/solarcoin in the search box. Open the solarcoin folder. Inside you'll find the blockchain data and other files as well as your wallet.dat. You can select the wallet.dat and right click select copy, then paste that someplace safe outside of the directory, as well as a thumb drive, etc. Just make sure you have that backed up. Next select everything in that directory except the wallet.dat and trash it. Reload the application and under the file menu, select reload blockchain.

Always make sure you have a backup of your wallet.dat first.

So Buterin dumped on you his shit twice:

First time during IPO, Second time when he sold his 25% of coins during the pump.

This Russian scammer dev Buterin now colluded with the Russian exchange BTC-E to make a third dump  Grin

Great name Gillette, go shave your dick.

Vitalikhisballs dumped his eth to get pimple surgery along with lining his pocket with millions.

It's time again updating my ignore list weeding out the low IQs.

I'm honored. But if you're British, I'm honoured.

It doesn't surprise me the number of noob accounts on this thread that want the price to fall considering you can now short ETH. It's all market BS to make money.

Why does this person keep putting up large amounts of solarcoin on the ask then dumps at the bid. This is about the 10th times this has happened since i have been here.

Then the person doing this will post about it with multiple usernames as if he has no clue who it is.

Alao i am not talking about you i am just on a rant.

I understand your frustration I don't understand the logic of this guy/ghost.  It almost makes me want to get some BTC to take it out but that is about $5,000 in SLR.  I wish this ghost guy would just come out and tell us WTF he is doing.

Buy Low / Sell High, you want the price to go up like everyone but you can't buy high and sell low. I dumped at a perfect timing of .00015 and took out the last of the high buys that now vanished down the tube. Too much POW coin out there to compete with, just save your $5,000 and wait it out.

If you want the coin to go higher pull your sells from the sell sheet so the coin can pump with no added costs to the pumpers. I never leave sells out there and if the price sustains then sell to the buys. You do understand that people can buy their own coins at the cost of trading fees on exchanges I hope.

You see instead of complaining you can take advantage of the situation. To be honest if this is one guy kudos to him because without his magical sell orders I never could have consistantly bought back all of the coins i shorted. Im not going to go into any details but lets just say i got quite lucky the entire way up. Wow I didnt think you still held any SLR the way you complain about the development all the time Wink  Looks like you chose a good moment to sell. Time will tell!

I love this coin what do you mean? I only complain to make it better. I didn't get in on the PoW because of the PreMine and total misconception on my part. Otherwise I would be a majority share holder. Just wait until you see what I am coming up with. We will be able to roll SLR in to my new coin economy too.

We may disagree on many things, but I think you're a misunderstood genius. I'm quite looking forward to it.

It doesn't bother me. This person is taking a risk that SLR will stay at a relatively stable price for a while. Profits will be made. Ultimately Solarcoin is a real long term investment. I actually kind of like it. It gives people a chance to load up without destabilizing the price, and giving a good deal at the same time.

Hello guys,

Just want to tell you that I decided to change the pool, because on suprnova I receive low amount of ETH compared to dwarf. I had 0.08 remaining on suprnova and send them manually to trex and for 10 hours they didn't came. It's big amount I know. Still they are on the block explorer but no sign of them on trex.

Cheers.

Last time that happened to me, it was the wallet on trex. Just send Bittrex a friendly email. They probably have to relaunch the wallet.

What's happend if not all the EDON are sold at the end of the ICO ?

Because this is a distribution based on formula (the great part about it), all the coins will be sold. There will be no leftovers.



So where will you get your funding ?? How will the Project get its Funding Huh Please be more specific on the Coin Distribution like ALL other ICO's do .. Not sure why you want to be so vague. This should have been posted Up FRONT.. Not in dribs and drabs..

Also, the must buy now bonus is quite revealing as well.

Why would a merchant accept Solarcoin? A partner recently asked why would a merchant accept solarcoin?  Thought I would share the answer for those interested. 

 The currency acceptance issue is an interesting one and a classic chicken and egg scenario.  Currency: a social protocol works most effectively when there are lots buyers and sellers willing to accept it. 
Right now solarcoin is where bitcoin was in 2012 two years after launch. A small network, but growing quickly.  Once a merchant perceives a personal benefit in signaling they accept Solarcoin they will. We have a small candle manufacturer accepting solarcoins and I even sold a few copies of my book for it. As the network grows, we anticipate uptake in SolarCoin but for now one needs a gateway service. see below. 

There are 2 main benefits for a merchant to accept solarcoin, pending market growth etc. to a more critical mass. 

1. Green goodwill as a marketing exercise. This is mostly a one off novelty effect for the merchant and has smaller appeal.

2. Cheap clearing fees.  Many retailers operate on 3-8% net income margins.  Visa, AMEX and Mastercard charge 1.5-3.5% for processing.  So the impact to free cash flow >real ROE for a merchant can be significant 10-30% improvement. It is the reason gas stations for example give a cash discount or discount for debit cards.

Bitcoin is a useful example here.  Bitcoin has roughly 3m users/acceptors.  As of early 2015 there were 100,000 bitcoin merchants, there are probably more now as there is price stability and better services globally. 

Gateway services:

1. SolarCoins can be converted into bitcoin and are traded 24/7.  https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts/solarcoin/usd

2. There are many bitcoin debit cards which effectively transfer  bitcoin into fiat during the debit card use. This works similar to what happens when a tourist spends money abroad with a credit or debit card. So effectively one can "spend" bitcoin anywhere they can use a debit card.  Most likely as solarcoin grows, similar automatic transaction services will spring up.  Expect it around 500k user network size.

Note that new SolarCoin wallets should include support for Android and IOS mobile wallets https://copay.io/  These will be udnerway post 2.11 release.

Hope this helps.

These are reasons why Merchants WON'T accept SolarCoin. BitCoin is not Green and in order to get out of the market the merchants have to take risks with it in order to give the appearance of being Green with SolarCoin. These risks could gain them money but they can also get stuck at percentages well above the normal fees for Visa or be forced to wait. So Merchants must sell to BitCoin to get their costs of goods back. This means they also have to give their identity and banking information to an Exchange under KYC-AML just to achieve liquidity. They also risk that the exchange may hack itself and take the customers funds. Questionable security along with market maneuvering just to accept a coin that people would have to take their FIAT that they could already hand the merchant and yet they go buy BitCoin, to then go buy SolarCoin, and then give it to the Merchant who must go Sell to BitCoin and then Sell to FIAT. Not many Merchants would put themselves through the wringer just to use a coin, and if they were going to accept Crypto they could just accept BitCoin since they have to get back to that anyways.

If SolarCoin was used outside of BitCoin it could be green and be adopted, instead it is now SolarCoin supporting and sustaining BitCoin usage. Another upside would be that there are not many people using SolarCoin so Merchant exposure would be very small. This may be the only reason to accept it and normally a Merchant who would agree to use SolarCoin would already be accepting BitCoin and have the channel setup for usage. So the 100,000 BitCoin merchants should be targeted as merchants and let the SolarCoin POW sell off for these merchants products commence!

Merchants build it into the costs of goods. The grants are free, it may cost a little more to buy something with SLR, but it's found money, everyone wins. Does Bitcoin do that? No, you have to buy it in order to spend it.

Someone has to buy SolarCoin with BitCoin first in order to pay the merchants even if the costs could be built in, meaning in the event of a dump to nil the merchants could lose everything along with an exchange hack that is very real. So churning out BitCoin will be the foundation of SolarCoin, as BitCoin is a Proxy for SolarCoin and can be given away for free like any alt coin could do at any time, why people buy it is the mystery.

Without BitCoin there are no SolarCoin merchants. It is like you are saying SolarCoin is so Green it is like finding a shiny free new electric car powered by the sun, only problem occurs since it has no charging capacity unless it is plugged into a BitCoin pump. But still you tell people SolarCoin is doing good... look at how fast it is moving on the highways right now! Only to find out that your Hybrid SolarCoin is moving fast, but on the back of a BitCoin Tow Truck spewing Black Smoke into the air gobbling up massive amounts of fuel just to move with SolarCoin winched up to it.

There will always need to be BitCoin in order to be liquid for merchants. If people just accept SolarCoin for trade then it works no problem, but why give something they can get money for to trade for a coin they may not get anything back in trade for eventually. The real possibility is that they just lost possession of the goods or service they traded, and the store they go to buy milk at only takes Fiat and not SolarCoins. Since they have to pay for costs of goods there is no way to just take SolarCoins in this market. It all goes back to BitCoin and Fiat. BitCoin bears the entire weight of SolarCoin and its Free coins, and creates the worth for SolarCoin simultaneously.

You think there will be a day when the tail wags the dog on this one? If they outlaw BitCoin chances are they outlaw SolarCoin too. Or if BitCoin becomes more valuable and sought after then why would people buy SolarCoin when they could own BitCoin instead. And if you say that perhaps BitCoin will become less sought after and cheaper, unfortunately SolarCoin must sell to that market and also have their coin devalued in the process.

I have created ways around these issues now. I am waiting for further developments to make sure it gets done correctly. I am not a coder so I have to rely on a team to implement it. Too bad it isn't the SolarCoin team.

/facepalm

Still, I keep waiting for that shining moment you say something brilliant. It's happened before, I'm hoping to see it again soon. Smiley
