This first paragraph of ANN, I using the technology offered by the project, each sending byte will I receive in tokens of the project?

evening..

how to sign up for the test network?

why every airdrop end so quickly ?
GRIDNET Airdrop (200 000 GNC) is over .
Any chance for second round ? i don't prefer ICO .

cool name coming  power --PWR, cool ehhhh.
I should ask some questions if only few people invest your project ,how do you deal with remaining token?i read above information and when can you release wallet ? when can project list in exchange ?which exchange? you know it need more money to be list in exchange! i think people are only waiting for mining grid but not invest it.what do you think about it.

I own a software company in the utility space and we deal with meter vendors, AMI vendors and utility companies all the time (and have for 10+ years). While I believe there is a kernel of truth in what you are designing, I believe you're a bit naive in believing that energy and water consumers have any real stake in this process. Utility companies own the generation, the wires and the meters, and are the only entities that have the capital to roll out this type of infrastructure (and even then, most utilities struggle to pay for the significant costs involved in upgrading). You would have to sell these blockchain enabled devices to utilities - as consumers are not going to be able to change their meter types themselves in most jurisdictions.

And while the consumers may want flexibility concerning whom they buy energy from - most deregulated markets allow them to do this today. While they don't get to pick their generation provider directly, they do in a round-about way when they choose the retail entity where they purchase their power or water.

Purchasing energy and water from a "live auction" is a solution without a problem. This is what is referred to by marketing types as a "low involvement category". Consumers don't want to be heavily involved in this purchasing decision. They want to set it and forget it. There are variations (prepay consumers have to maintain a balance on their account, and make more buy decisions on a monthly basis - typically 3-5 times per month), but the standard customer just wants to pick a price once a year and be done with it.

I'd be interested though in how this leads to lower transmission fees on the side of the power line owners? Those fees are typically charged on a cost+ basis. Where does blockchain remove added cost? You say "we might be able to lower...". Sounds like you don't have a strong business case yet.

Madkins, it is nice to hear that you have some experience in the field of the power industry.

 And that you took your time to review our white-papers and the subject alone. (if you did Myself, I've been to all the significant conferences related to SmartGrid environments which happened to take place during the last 2 years. If, you were at the recent SmartGridComm 2017 conference in Germany last year you would have seen the result of a competition among all the student in Germany for a video which would present a technology most suitable for the Smart Grid environments.

Guess what was the winner's video about ?

It was EXACTLY the model which we incorporated in GRIDNET based on REAL-TIME auctions

Everyone at the table at which I was sitting was looking at me saying that it seems like an intro to our technology.

Mark my words - we are not here alone. We've been having discussions with major companies and what you see is the result of talks with multiple people from the field. The acceptance rate for the recent SmartGridComm was around 30%. We did it.

Madkins, with all due respect, I think, - your assumptions are wrong.

You said "Utility companies own the generation, the wires, and the meters, and are the only entities that have the capital to roll out this type of infrastructure"

See, that's the monopolistic view to which large so-called 'utility companies' are used to. If, you were familiar with the situation in the United States, it is completely and totally different. Power transmission companies are usually different from the power generation ones.

I encourage you to look up the company SmartWires.com, check out their white papers and calculations to see how routing of energy is allowed to SIGNIFICANTLY lower costs related to energy transmission especially their role in congestion avoidance. We've already discussed many details in the matter also with people involved in the SmartWires project.

You are right that user does not want to take an active role in the selection of their power provider. Users want to pay the lowest cost possible. And that's what our eco-system allows for.

Noone said that user will be required to sit by the smart meter selecting from whom to buy the energy to make coffee in the current 15-minute time slots. Let us be realistic. As stated in our white paper the user will be able to include his PREFERENCES inside of the heuristic running on the SmartMeter (or his iPhone... details will be shown in next white papers. Trust me, you are going to love this).

"Purchasing energy and water from a "live auction" is a solution without a problem. " You might say as well that there's no point in changing you mobile tariff every each year. It is just because you might be wealthy or ignorant enough not to do so. You might not want a 4K tv since you are perfectly fine with 1080P. But there are people who want better, there are people who want their home economics to be more efficient.


You might own of a software company. I also owned a software company for 5 long years who dealt with security, reverse engineering etc. Luckily besides IT, I've also studied economics. There is a heavy pressure from the EU for instance toward the decentralization of resources. We no more want single companies to own power generation and transmission. Why? Because it's inefficient.

But let's say that's the current state of matters. So now what. Is the GRIDNET eco-system unsuitable? No. It would feet perfectly fine lowering the bureaucracy and management fees. As you will see in one of the white papers to be published by Elsevier where we review many of the additional aspects.

I hope I've shed some light on the matter. In case you've got any other ideas/ questions/issues please do not hesitate for a moment to ask.
By looking at our project you might see what's wrong with the attitude presented by WePower. Their attitude is similar to banks wanting to make a profit from cryptocurrencies. Sure a private blockchain will lower the costs for inter-bank transactions. But we all know why Bitcoin was established in the first place:) DO they like the real reasons and possibilites ? Honestly, I do not think so.

Flexibility is the major thing missing in the current energy market. And in the ability to manage the power flows inside of the Grid. Flexibility. It is the key.

I'll point you to specific whitepapers in a couple of minutes.

P.S It is worthy to note that the devices which we are working on do not accept commands ONLY from the blockchain. But... let us wait for the latest whitepaper. (unfortunately, it will take many months before it is made public)

This is great news guys) What happened to the site? It is unavailable for several days already (

, I'm in the middle of your wallpaper and I'm more and more impressed, you guys put some thinking and definitely some nice hours of work into this. It makes me want to go back to university and work on something like this, that makes sense and definitely has the tech to make things better, create something whole society can benefit from. Cant wait to finish the paper, i think I will get in touch with you guys directly, maybe I can help somehow.. Another thing I like the fact that you are not hiding behind a Japanese pseudonym and proudly sign the papers with your name. In general the quality of whitepapers these days is miserable, a lot of "coins" don't have them at all, a lot is not signed at all and contain just irrelevant crap.. Good luck with finalization and looking much forward for the day one..it might be a day that will end up in history books:)

The site does not work, the tables are not updated, no one answers in the telegram, I think this project has died guys ...
 

And remember - the system goes live on the 31st of January.

do you remember your promise , "31st of January" , just a ps ,what do you take it to release ,if you can not ,you should not give a promise .

trust me, they have no really project ,only ps , that's why no one invest it , team have only one person , a student, i just tell a truth.

nice ps , haha, you have mistake , gridnet still not release but you have a chart of them, so stupid , scamer ,go away.

i can ps such picture within 1 hour.

gridnet is a student ,have great idea but no such ability ,i don't think he can give us a fresh project but only a clone from others.


WePower is better than gridnet , they got investment and will develop project , but  gridnet can not get invest from ppl , he will disappear.
i should tell all investors ,gridnet said the system goes live on the 31st of January ,  a month left , Normally ,you should test your project now if you provides a new code model ,but are you test now , i don't think so. haha

prove it , haha if you cannot ,disappear right now.

There is no doubt about it, the project was exceptional. I believe that this project can achieve success.
I pray for the best for the smooth running of the project, I hope the project will evolve rapidly.

actually, the project cannot lack marketing strategy, there's more choise to expand project's influnce.
