I think we'll remain consolidating for a while until MTP is released, there's little reason to doubt this coin will be successful with such dedicated Devs behind it.

Is there any work being done in the background on this coin?

OK. POSv development with the new developer started yesterday. I will keep everyone posted with needs for testing, alpha codes, progress etc.  Please note I will be slow to give out ship dates etc. as I don't want to get anyone too excited.  When possible code/pull requests will put up etc. and of course any alpha testing and etc. by the solarcoin community will be appreciated.

For what it is worth, yesterday I had breakfast with the founder and head of Areday http://www.areday.net/summit/areday_2014.html in Aspen who knows the founder of Solarcity among other renewable energy luminaries. Once we have POSv and some easy to claim website partners up I will circle back with her about intros and other SLR related conversations. We need to get PSOV and a super easy claims process in place.

I have person looking at building a US claims website, but welcome others to help the effort.  The operating model is independant website claim facilitating wallet, which makes it easier for consumer (no blockchain download etc.).  the owner of the website can claim the 10% refferal bonus if the individual agrees and or a yearly maintenance fee.  It is kind of like a banking model.  A team is at work on this in Europe and maybe japan (luke?) thoughts?

I greatly appreciate everyone's patience while we build ease of use and value into the process. It is a 40 year effort, with 1 year just to get launched etc. Looking forward to having things move faster and further from here

Hi all,

We've added the "SolarCoin Balance" tab onto each users login.
This is like the users "wallet".
Solcrypto interfaces with the SCF to process claims for real world SolarCoin mining from PV plants, houses and commercial rooftop.
If you want more information, please check out the twitter feed.

We would like the community's feedback on the POS staking policy for Solcrypto. Then after submissions we will add it to the sites TAC.

All coins are held offline with a clear two human sheild offline security policy.

Our aim is to grow the real world SolarCoin community. We will exhibit at PV shows and events in 2015 to raise awareness in the Asia Pacific Region.

Thanking you,
Best,

Ok, so we have a new dev on the scene for POSv.  Here is the proposal. I am curious what people's feedback is in terms of technical risk and implementation.  Once this looks good we will execute ASAP.  Also would be happy for people to sign up for testing.

Here is the new dev's proposal:

I think it is important that the idea is more relevant than any one individual.  There is a large community of very smart people. The most important thing is for everyone to do their homework.  The concept is very interesting and we are working on the governance etc. and ownerhship/management of the genesis pool. 

On another note for non-coin people we are working on a list of Benefits to solarcoin.  feeel free to ad, rephrase.  it may make sense for these on the site as we move to communicating and engaging much more with the solar community in 2015.  Please note many of the feature/ benefits involved require the POSV transition to happen. We are all waiting for the code and these benefits so this list can't go "live" yet. 

1)Limited inflation risk: SLR circulation is limited algorithmically and by the production of solar energy. It cannot be over-issued or inflated overnight.
2)Socially beneficial: SLR provides better social benefit than Gold
3)Minimal Carbon footprint: SLR uses a Proof of Stake algorithm that is has a minimal carbon footprint compared with the Proof of Work algorithm used by Bitcoin
4)Faster transactions: SLR process 10x faster than Bitcoin
5) Scientific standard of Work: Solarcoin is based on a fixed proof of physical work for circulating amount. SLR represents a universally accepted definition of work ,the MegaWatt hour (MWh)
6)Incentive for social benefit by use: SLR promotes a common good for humanity and the planet by acting as an incentive for Solar energy production. The more SLR is traded among a larger network of people the more its economic utility value increases. The more the SLR economic value increases, the more it acts as an incentive for people to produce solar energy.

7) Socially equitable: SLR is more socially equitable as it can be earned by large and small solar facilities whereas mining Bitcoin rewards mostly larger computational facilities with access to cheap electricity and sophisticated technology.
Interest earning: SLR allows users to earn interest on their currency staked at an algorithmically determined rate of 2%/yr
9) Available internationally to all: SLR is traded on multiple exchanges and available to anyone with an internet connection globally.
10)Safe, private and traceable: SLR can be printed and stored on a paper wallet to be physically stored, traded or exchanged with others in any amount.

The fact that you would even want to exchange for money just shows you may not understand or possibly don't want to participate in the true beauty of Crypto. An ALT Coin should be used as money, period. The fact that you want to turn it into USD or FIAT means you want to be subversive to the economy of the ALT in question. When you are ready to accept a SolarCoin for a value compared to the USD or FIAT of choice instead of for the actual holding of that FIAT then you will be ready to understand the true power of holding a currency with no real value created by the FED or holding perceived value created by Crypto. It is only worth what power you and your group have to offer. FIAT buys food and rent and cars and gadgets. ALT coins buy only what people are willing to trade for them, what should SolarCoin trade with?

You are trading power with this coin but you should realize that you also give your power away by trading to FIAT. By reserving your power into a coin you take it away from the FIAT who don't really care about your solar power anyways. But with a million of us they might start to care. And then swing the power in our favor to go off the grid and lift the world out of the murky depths of the FED while shining light on the entire economy of SolarCoin.

Creating a path to FIAT empowers the banks, and makes trading to BTC volitile. End of story. If you want to give power to the people, you must give it to the people and hope they reciprocate. Buying and selling a Crypto Stock on an exchange only makes Exchanges money and back to the banks etc. FIAT makes the world go round though since it opens your economy and pays for your ROI for the costs of you solar panels. But that is paying for itself as not having to purchase more electricity. So what else could SolarCoin do to offset the need to go to FIAT? Obviously everyone wants to make FIAT and buy and sell and get rich. But is this ideal when there is no real value to showing you have generated electricity with your Solar Panel? So get real here and maybe people will start to understand how to create an economy from Crypto finally.

adding to my previous comment, I may add that usually, it's true, and when BTC drops, alt coins drops as well ...but it should be interesting to see how slr reacts, if it rise, then that will say that people has understood SLR is backup by something else and not only BTC

Jyri no rush on TAK.

Yes make plans.  As A/C becomes more established we can swing back, and we will be able to apply more pressure on cry since we will be clearly 'the community' and the dev will be clearly a long established dead beat daddy.  

TAK can just keep chugging along as it is until then.

listen , coin price not important if using illegal practice and maybe illegal enterprise here!
ask Madoff !  I would not be surprise if FBI  DEA or FTC etc on this dev group right now .  there nwgt forum is possibly false store front for illegal mj and hard drugs . Go keep cheering for price with no accountibility like reporter said . look at ccn still no comment on actions only laugh

The problem is more the way you're (allegedly) presenting the information as if you're partnering up with outside developers but really they're already a part of your network.
If that's the case then while not illegal, or necessarily wrong, it is shady. You guys called for transparency all the time with CANN, time to put your money where your mouth is.

Also, again, deleting questions/criticism/facts from the thread is also something you've called them out on only to turn around and do it yourself.

Reposting for preservation and to ask it myself.


Is there any truth to what Whaler is saying?

Dude, read man!  They've responded - and to some pretty ignorant questions - and explained everything. There's no hiding, it's very transparent. Do your own DD and put things together, as the rest of us have.

To the CCN team - keep going fellas! You shouldn't be wasting much of your time in here repeating things.

The world of CCN is expanding, and everyone around/involved-in it is benefiting. Onward and upward. Keep the pedal to the floor. I love the speed at which you guys do things. It seems like every week there's more progress, or something new coming down the pipe 

Thanks Epiphany for your thoughtful post

The CCN team is very aware of the anxiety related to the Solarcoin PoSV wallets.  It does take man hours to make it happen and SubCreative has definitely been working on chipping away at it in these extremely busy times.  It's a larger undertaking than people might think, because it requires a lot of due diligence to make sure everything is correct in the code .  It's not as easy as copy/paste for this transition - otherwise many other coins would have attempted it by now.  I am standing by ready to diffcheck the code and set my Linux box up for testing whenever I get the word from Sub.

In case anyone is concerned or curious, the projects that we have just introduced to our community (TradeManager, fObfuscate) are not SubCreative's projects and they are not impeding progress on the Solarcoin transition.

I can also try to bring in some more developers for testing and helping if you guys are interested, that's why I inquired about if you had any SLR you set aside for development.
