I know that, the cash equivalent value of bounties are declined due to price slide. If the winners sell their SLR, the price will drop once again. I'm long holder and supporter of Solarcoin. But I'm losing faith. The core wallet works perfectly as it is, what development is needed, none really. The upgrade is to give some new features like integration with copay and chain pruning for the IoT nodes, its encouraging that SLR doesnt need a lot of development. |

There will be always someone who develops a GPU miner for any coin and GPU mining is always going to be more profitable.
It's still more-less OK to CPU-mine cryptonotes (Monero and clones) IMHO.
Late to this thread, but thats not true for Gridcoin, because the work are real scientific research problems, general purpose CPUs will always be needed. Though some problems can be CPU accellerated they always need a CPU co-processor. |

Entering ethereum alliance was the worst thing this coin could do, at least use etc over eth. Markets are not appreciating because they don't like this decision not only because of accumulation looking uncertain in the charts. It's holding, but I think revisiting your decision and using etc over eth or even using only the smart contracts code you need and not ethereum network would be best.
I believe it was ElectriCChain that joined, not SolarCoin. |

Isn't that what Trump is about though? Letting the private sector work its magic? I dont really understand most of what he does, but we dont have to worry anymore, we can do it for ourselves. |

Why is it down in a cryptocurrency bullmarket?
Well it's on fire today!!! Slow and steady...... A 3200% increase since 2014. It's not ethereum growth yet, but the project is still in its Infancy. One of the best long term coins to hold IMHO. Download the wallet and stash away, or better still stake in the wallet and earn more. Yep, Im making many times my original investment, get in before everyone realises what they missed |

Wow have to admit nothing really changed must here since I sold all my SLR last year and put in into ETH and BTC after the Poloniex issue and you know where they are right now!
The dev team should consider an ico to help the progress and development of solarcoin
Living the dream right now but good luck to you all.
Most of the activity is on Slack and Telegram, all kinds of things are happening like presenting to the European Parliament last week, we are live logging solar PV generation data to the SolarCoin blockchain on Raspberry Pis, multiple linkups with organisations, a French B2C power utility accepts payments in SLR... the list goes on. The price will come as the network expands, which considering the above, will happen. Even so right now Im sitting on a major profit if I sold my SLR, which obviously Im not going to do. |

Yeah considering the fact we can datalog solar generation into the SLR blockchain, its value is even higher than the MWh value as well, the scope for that data (which no-one else has) to become exremely valuable to scientists, grid operators, you name it.

I can tell you the few events I have attended with the SolarCoin/ElectriCChain teams, solar industry people are at first confused, then amazed by what we are doing, and not just the fact that we are trying to incentivise their entire industry at a global scale.
People are amazed that we can, with a cheap device like a Raspberry Pi, log solar generation data to an incorruptable, free, open database from ANY size of solar install. Big solar PV installs are easy, but getting data from the thousands of domestic systems, has been (from what a national energy company told me) impossible.
So screw the haters, we have something here that no-one else has, if the $0.12 guy cant see it, plenty of others will; if you build it they will come.

So I am watching the Bitcoin/Altcoin rally recently and I can't stay quiet about it, because it's getting on my nerves - so far from January 2017 BTC has grown from under 1000$ to 1600+$ as of today, which is ~60% increase of its price and it seems it is going even further and nobody is sure when it will stop or pop (if its a bubble) etc. Almost every Altcoin out there is rising too, which is understandable since ~99% of the altcoins are traded for BTC. I'm watching the volume of these Shitcoins and the numbers are getting higher every day and the amount of money people put in them is not a small number - we can start from 200 000$ daily and go to a couple of million dollars for some coins. Everything is fine by those numbers, people have their choice where to put their money I get that. The thing that bothers me and makes me nervous and I don't know if its for good or bad is why Solarcoin doesn't follow the pattern / uptrend recently? Why when BTC goes up, there is this asshole on Bittrex or whatever other exchange SLR is traded, which starts selling every god damn time and keeps the price down??? Why all the other Shitcoins have so much money put into them and we are staying under the shadows for so long? Why people can't notice us? I see that the foundation is doing a great work - every month there is some good news about Solarcoin - we have even won an Oscar at Blockshow Europe and what happened - well not much apparently and I can't understand why or what is the reason behind this... I see that ~100 people joined the SLR slack recently, which is great - but when some of them started asking questions like "why am I here?/ what is this group" my excitement vaporized - like some spam bot added them randomly from nowhere... Don't get me wrong here - I'm not being negative, I just wonder why is all that happening - why are there so many Shitcoins above us, in which people invest so much money - what seems to be the thing that "hold us back"? What we must achieve in the future to make people recognize us as unique alternative from all the other coins out there? I don't know if I'm asking the right questions and making the proper analyse of the market right now so feel free to deny/argument me. And for the greedy so called "whale" right now who is keeping the price low and dumping every time when there is a rise - not everything is forever my friend, you are a big fish in the small pond at the moment - once the SLR market starts to expand and become an ocean, the sharks there will eat all of your coins and you will starve to death at the bottom of the abyss where you belong - u greedy little bastard...
Honestly I think SolarCoin is on its own track, I dont care that we arent getting pumped with all the others, if the BTC/ETH bubble bursts then its going to make no difference anyway, though I can tell you my value of SLR holding has risen a fair amount against fiat in the last week. I think what needs to happen is the claims need to keep going out, and as that increases and the amounts the Foundation are holding start to reduce, we will see more generalised involvement from the crypto community, as we see the claims accelerate, it will help. Meanwhile we just need to keep shouting about it as loudly and as often as we can. Im trying to get on the speaking roster at a few upcoming events, including my local crypto meetup; Im sure they will wring their hands about the Foundation, but if they want to miss a big opportunity, its their own lookout. |

Oh yes its well undervalued, you could easily put commercial projects on the platform, they could get priority by buying some GRC and raining it to the people doing the work.
The only reason its not got a higher cap is because its a pre-ICO phase coin, if this had ICO'd then it would be up in the 50 mil cap easily.

So are there only 85 active wallets staking? No more than that. This is just the full nodes that the explorer has connected to in the last 24 hours, I run 2 listening nodes and they arent even on the node IP list. I believe it is also listening nodes only (not 100% sure about that). EDIT: I wonder if we all added https://chainz.cryptoid.info to our addnodes it would give a more reliable view.... Thanks for clarifying. I cleared my solarcoin.conf of other addnodes as an experiment 'addnode=https://chainz.cryptoid.info' works just fine note however they may have the standard 128 connection limit on their node, so even if we all add it may not show more than that number anyway. Fun experiment tho |
