781  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SLR] SolarCoin | PoW to PoS v. 2.0 | Solar Proof of Generation (§1 = 1MWh) on: September 17, 2014, 07:10:32 PM

So first, let me make it clear I want to get paid for direct consulting, or for commercial GPL-exception license fees for code like https://bitbucket.org/dahozer/catcoin, which is free for anyone to use if they give back to the community by making any source changes available. Exchanges or businesses that provide services based on AGPLv3 code need to either provide the code, or pay the developers commercial license exception fees.

The idea that 'energy is wasted' by mining is a tremendously dangerous idea for renewable energy. Proof-of-work mining powered by solar energy is the mostly likely disruptive change that has the ability to put fossil fuel and nuclear generation out of business permanently.

Leaving wallets open staking all the time is an energy-intensive and wasteful process that will only fuel more fuel-burning power generation.

A miner on my farm that only runs when the wind blows or the sun shines is going to be far more secure, and promote renewables more than a proof-of-stake system with lots of computers running 24x7 that can be compromised with software auto-update systems. You can't remotely exploit sha or scrypt ASIC silicon, while it's only a matter of buying an unreleased zero-day exploit for windows or MacOS to steal enough solarcoin to 51% stake-attack the network.

That being said, the plan you lay out for VC-funding and the 'proof of stake' investor bandwagon seems to have a strong chance of actually succeeding, so it seems the reality that developers need to be paid first makes that route more secure in the short term, because it's more likely people will get paid to make it happen.

Well that being said there are options for low power computing. A Netbook for example uses almost zero electricity. A pi is also very power efficient. If you consider the idea is to eventually convert a large portion of people to solar power by making it more cost effective to run solar with Solarcoin feed in tariffs, we well realize a net benefit of power consumption through grid means by simply making is less expensive to run solar. I think the equation will eventually tip to solar even with computers running multiple wallets. The average computer running this software will use no more than 100 watts, and probably much less using the methods I described.

Cryptsy is graveyard. Only Doge is much alive and DRK and sometimes 1-2 more coins.

Mintapl is also graveyard!

But maybe Sun will shine when v 2 will be launched. I hope so, but I don't think so LOL  Grin
What exchange do you think is the best choice for cann then?

NASDAQ.  Cheesy

I just want to be on the first page  Cheesy

Solarcoin  Grin

You know, you make a good point! So I'm going to list as many people as I can think of off the top of my head from the other thread. Then new folks to SolarCoin can have an easy reference to individuals who have been solid and loyal supporters/volunteers to the SolarCoin mission for a while, many even from the beginning. Each of these people did their research and were thoughtful about their decision to support SolarCoin, they aren't here on a whim. So treat them with respect, they have done their homework and a coin like this one requires research because it is truly a worthy investment. They know their stuff!!! These people are the founders as far as I'm concerned. Smiley Joe and Nick are the creators and now we are the ones who get to light it up.

To the Sun!

Now the list (in no particular order):

I'm sure I'm forgetting many, many more. Please mention anyone I have missed so I can add them to the list, this way all of them get a mention on the first page!

Edit: Ha! I forgot myself!  Cheesy I used to go by Vexatious but then changed my name. I swear to god I feel like a damn convert or something over the past few months. It's like some bizarre enlightenment is taking place and I'm feeling really good and free or something. Liberated even.  Undecided Then again, maybe I'm just smoking too much pot, that could be it too.  Cool


I done made the list. Smiley

Hi SolarCoin community,

Some of us have been testing the new wallets already, but we would like more volunteers to help with testing before we officially announce that the new wallets are ready.

Here are the new wallet downloads:

Windows: http://www.mediafire.com/download/66z5wrzdne4x3b4/solarcoin-1.5-win-qt.zip
Mac: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60507461/SolarCoin-Qt.zip
Linux: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q9h7stgqmra72g/solarcoin-1.5-linux-qt.tar.gz?dl=0

Please PM me or post results of your testing in the thread.

Thanks,
Eric

I renamed my wallet.dat and started this new app for testing purposes. It's re-indexing the block files at the moment. I'll report more about the app later.

These guys are pros. They know the laws. I'm fairly confident they are following the guidelines.

http://bitcoinist.net/exclusive-interview-with-the-uro-foundation-urose/
"Q: Is there anything in specific we should know regarding UROSE?

A: Yes, we can now confirm that UROSE 2014 will be held on 29 October 2014 at the InterContinental Hotel, Hong Kong, and that we expect around 100 people to attend."

Only 1 Intercontinental and Bohan did lie, its 4.5 stars not 5!

*edit, also i doubt they care or know what the events about. My wife works manages events at a local hotel, she gets a rundown that tells her what happens when from the coordinator. she does not know their field or what the conference is about. so saying they dont have any urea based conferences in the next few months is a bologna statement.  Feel free to email their event staff or sales staff and get a response, or record a call which does not use the word cunt gratuitiously. you should ask them what time the even on the 29th starts and confirm the full name its registered under.

2 InterContinental and jasemoney lied about Bohan lying LOL:

http://www.fivestaralliance.com/luxury-hotels/hong-kong/intercontinental-grand-stanford-hong-kong
5 STARS

http://www.fivestaralliance.com/luxury-hotels/hong-kong/intercontinental-hong-kong
5 STARS



I didnt lie!

4.5 stars :p

dude, you have never booked a hotel online if you do not know what is 5 star hotel. you can not say its 4.5 star hotel just by looking at the guest reviews. you are LOCO dude!

Those are customer reviews. Real travel ratings guides were published by mobile back in the day. Every country is different and they all use different services for vetted star ratings. Customer reviews are nice but they don't classify hotels under star ratings, all they do is give you an idea of their experience at the hotel.

A 5 star hotel is still a 5 star hotel despite a 1 star rating truthful might give the hotel. However, lately some hotels are actually putting a clause in their rental agreements that if you badmouth their establishment you'll face a fee.

Yes sir!! I have Several different post on medical marijuana blogs, Craigslist, and Facebook!!! Right now I'm just selling 10 to 20 cann per person on average but i did raise my prices!!! I have some selling for 3 on Craigslist and 5 on the blogs!! Just have to market it right. Allow them to call or go to the store to verify for themselves! You can see my post!! People seem to say they don't understand why I would sell so low and thinks its a scam but I explain I'm just passing my savings on to someone who needs it!! It's not like I'm losing money!! I'm buying back off you guys for less than a penny!! I'm going to be sad when the price goes up!! No more making money!!;( lol

I'm happy you're doing that. It could cause the price to jolt and I'll be happier. Cheesy

Man, this coin has the potential to go through the roof.  If I were running a dispensary right now here is what I would do: 
 
Step 1: Align with a collective of other dispensaries in CA, AZ, CO, and WA
Step 2: Buy 1 million CANN each
Step 3: Start accepting CANN at the peg.  Film it, post it on YouTube, blast it on social media.  Show proof of the CANN actually being accepted. 
Step 4: Unload the CANN when it skyrockets to meet the peg.
 
Let's say a dispensary ends up with 50 customers a day buy 1 gram each with CANN (an estimate I would think is pretty high).  At current value, that would mean that they are losing maybe $1,000 a day in revenue accepting something worth a penny for something they could get $20 for.  In a year, they would lose $365,000 in potential revenue if the price stayed the same.  But if the price raised to even $1, their loss over the year would reduce to $18,250 while the value of the CANN they held increased to a million dollars.  It's a goddamned no-brainer. 
 
So the question becomes, would the price rise?  There has yet to be a successful asset-backed crypto.  People don't believe Uro is real and that you can really purchase Urea with it.  Also, people don't believe CANN will ever really be accepted at dispensaries.  Uro skyrocketed in price when people briefly believed it was real.  The same will happen for CANN, but unlike Uro, it won't be some unfamiliar foreign entity with crappy websites and shady backers.  Real people will be able to walk into the dispensaries, film themselves making a purchase and share it with the world.  It will be eminently verifiable. 
 
In my opinion, once the process is verified, the market will freak the fuck out and the price will skyrocket towards the peg.  Until dispensaries get on board, this won't happen.   Until there is proof, this won't happen.  But if 10 big name dispensaries in the key states got behind this, took a position in CANN, and then verified the peg?  They could make millions in a matter of months, weeks or days. 
 
For the love of god, dispensary owners, get on this and lets all make some fucking money!  You could take a million coin position for like $10,000 and there is a damn likely chance you could turn that into millions with one fucking YouTube video of you accepting CANN!  Possibly within days! 
 
It is essentially an opportunity unlike any I've ever seen.


GambletoWin is already selling them for 2 dollars per cann. The market exists already.

I think also when canndy is being actively traded the value will start to rise. People will ask for more for 1 cann coin knowing people will pay for it.

All of you who keep posting in astonishment at the plan to peg 1 CANN to 1 gram need to understand something. There is no set rule dictating what a gram of bud is worth. A gram of bud is worth what the seller/buyer agree it is worth. And in this case, the CANN team is growing a crop that they plan to sell for 1 CANN per gram to those customers who are willing to go through the process of getting CANN. It's really not that hard. Y'all need to unlearn decades of price fixing to the once almighty USD. It is up to us, the market makers, to decide what the CANNdy strain is worth per gram through the amount of BTC or USD we are willing to pay for CANN.

Right.  So it's already pegged 1:1. The dev will arrange for shops to accept CANN 1:1 for his cannabis.

There's just no reason to believe the  CANN/BTC rate  or CANN/USD will ever need to go up. That's the mistake people keep making.

If the exchange rate is $0.01 USD per gram, then that's what it is. You'll notice the dev has never said $10 per gram of CANNdy, that's all been overexcited traders.

That depends on the market also. If the supply of cann slows then the value will rise especially if there is demand. Yes cann has a peg, but the price of cann will fluctuate on market forces due to S&D.

You are correct. The difference with this coin vs. most of the others is demand. I think it's positioned particularly well at the moment. The first adopters will get a discount on their meds and the companies accepting cann in this industry will receive a value token that can be exchanged easier to their accounts due to the current political environment surrounding cannabis sales.

It's truly a win-win.

Linux & Windows wallets are compiled and handed over to the SolarCoin team, hardforks are still scheduled for block height 310,000.  I am currently working on a Mac build which should be out any time soon... Here are some screen shots below of the build and it's progress, we're working on a production ready distribution with all dependencies included,  shouldn't be too much longer.

i repeat it the last time because i'm tired:

i called the fucking herbal wellness center inc in phoenix, i asked them if they will accept cannabiscoin as a form of payment and they said: "YES."

YES YES YES YES YES, IT'S ALL TRUE PERIOD
Did you explain them what it is? Did they say yes and then you did hang or what?
E-mail this to devs with contact info and details and they could ask if it's truth.

wut?

So what stops joe blow from selling cannabis coin for say 8 dollars a coin on ebay? It's accepted for 1 gram of cann, that's all agreed to be worth between 10 and 15 dollars. People who aren't familiar or want to care about bittrex or any other crypto trading house can avoid that whole issue and still buy their coins at a discount. You can even offer to print a paper wallet for them and all of that "hard part" dissolves because you're providing a much needed service.

Don't give me poop about eBay's policies. It is within their policy to allow crypto currency sales you just have to CYA and make sure you follow a documented procedure that makes you not liable for people backing out and claiming they didn't receive their item. It simply involves documenting the blockchain trans number with the address assigned to them and documenting the whole process from start to finish. This way you can fight any charge back eBay might impose by fraudulent ebay users.

Isn't it funny for a site in Cambodia , designed for Cambodia to be written only in English with no Khmer version?

because its a scam, the guy who created that website has plenty of those, lives in Germany. He is collecting money where he can

Plenty of what exactly?

will there also be some kind of market places where you can sell cannabis related items anonymously?





I'm sure it's possible. Most if not all items that are cannabis related are legal to sell without licensing. It's only the substance that's controlled. Everyone sells bongs and pipes out here, completely legal.

You do play for the establishment Truthful. All of your so-called questions and lack of empathy combined with your wanton disregard for progress absolutely puts a target on your face as a paid fud. You are working for the establishment because it threatens their margins. You really don't care so much about this technology, or the people involved. It's just a paycheck to you and it's obvious. Between your massive spam mission right after press releases and your attempted demonizing of anyone who threatens the establishment with support of this technology.

You've been called out FUD Boy.
