Look at that buy support for Solarcoin. Gotta love it. Rocket currenty preparing for takeoff. Looks like someone made some money off the etherieum hype. Good shit haha

Few months ago someone bought 600-700K from someone else Wink They may want it back now ?  Grin

Well good luck to whoever went short and didn't buy back in. Id like to see someone try to buy 6-700 k at current prices  Wink

Looks like we might get that much volume in one day.  12 BTC so far.  I wish we could get coin on another exchange for more liquidity and less manipulation.  I think other exchanges won't take a chance because of the pre-mine size.

I absolutely agree. This is probably the only thing holding SLR back... The sooner we can automate the process of SLR claims and eliminate the trust the better off we will be. We really need to work on that. I'm not so much of a technical guy so it's not up to me. But I can/will always donate some BTC/SLR if it helps contribute to Solarcoins future success.

It's being worked on. The Solarcoin foundation is pursuing Ethereum technology. There's work being done to turn the generation pool algorithmic or similar technology. Patience. Smiley

Hi all,
i am wondering if the POST code is correctly set up for staking .

I have noticed my stakes are larger when i shut down my wallet few days than if i let it run everyday.
If the POST code is a way to reward those who are a node for the network, why rewards the same those who are shutting down their PC ? when restarting few hours later,  it's like it's recovering with higher stakes those which were not awarded when the wallet was down during few hours.

I believe the code should be adapted for those who are really letting the wallet opened all day long.
I am wrong ? or is the way it should work ? am i alone to notice this ?
Thanks.

I think it's working as intended. Though I'm sure the algo can be changed if there's an issue.

Could we stake on our Phones?

Not sure you'd want to do that even if you could. Even taking 15-20% of cpu power it would drain the battery quickly, and it would create a lot of heat which can affect battery life also.

Hey, Leroy Fodor, who owns https://blockchain.info/address/1K7y5VgQKq9jPjds76LE9KE31jFLKgADV8

Surely, he's not an Investard in the process of receiving withdraws because his payouts are over StakeMiners Ponzi's ToS threshold.

Is it possible that you're making sure that you get yours so that's there's nothing left for those who want what's rightfully theirs?

What's StakeMiners Ponzi's exit strategy? Telling your Investards to be glad that they were able to participate in the best investment scheme known in the cryptocurrency community, provided the math of such to us monumental assholes in trying to depict that nothing was a foot?

Dude, your days are numbers and we're sitting on the sidelines laughing our motherfuckin' asses off. HAHAHA

I'm surprised Leroy has lasted this long. I really stumbled on this thread by accident, but it's like a train wreck. Just goes on and on. Very entertaining.

Riddle:

Leroy Fodor was walking one day and reached a fork in the road. There stood two people identical to him. One claimed to be a truth teller, albeit Leroy had his doubts, the other a serial liar like himself. Leroy was allowed to ask only one question to either person so that the reply would offer up the correct road to his destination.

What question did Leroy Fodor ask of the two, whereupon the answer led Leroy down the wrong path, but only Leroy knew where he was going?

Riddle of the Osirians?

If I were to ask your fellow companion the question, which road would he indicate?

Leroy took the other road.

All you trolls want to do is expose the scam and hurt the victims

Don't listen to them. They just want to get the paycoin cheap so they use fud.

How much cheaper can paycon go, isn't the price a penny or two (in usd), or even less by now?

The "exchange" prices across all the exchanges mean nothing. They are owned by fudders that want the cheap xpy too. There is a $20 floor for paycoin. Read up on it.

I used to believe in fairy tales too.

They are the real deal.

If helpful I can provide a personal bio and short history of solarcoin. Hint: it will include, very large banks, Quantitive research, World's most secretive hedge funds, ivy league institutions, PhD's, a scientific research lab studying time travel among other things, references to Nobel Laureates, robots, genetics, the world's largest artificial brain, the World's largest technology risk problem, a little known university book unifying economics, information, thermodynamics and evolution, The US Senate, the CIA, Worldbank, Africa and many european countries, failed start-ups, the famous 56th floor of the Rockefeller foundation, The Explorers Club in New York, etc. but it all starts in small town Iowa among the corn and bean fields.  Sounds like an awesome conspiracy.  want more? or do you want to wait for the movie?   ...its all true and less conspiratorial than you think.

So many False Premises! lol

price goes down to 1 satoshi and CryptoNick gets all SLR, and stops talking.  Shocked
until then - Ignore, to save space & time.


I can't ignore CryptoNick entirely. He has brought up some valid points in the past. I won't discount his contributions. I keep waiting for that gem stone to appear among all of the unremarkable ore. It does from time to time.

Not assuming, I was told by the SolarCoin Devs that you can not go to FIAT or it is a Securities Act Violation. BitCoin is the only one allowed to be traded for FIAT. I scratched my head the whole time since it is only 1 step removed from FIAT to BitCoin so what is the difference? If you can go to FIAT by just creating a coin and suddenly out of thin air people can send Fiat for a coin and give the maker and most worthy miners of the coin money for nothing but their time and hash power, it sounds like the way to go.

This still doesn't solve the dilemma I stated about why to buy SolarCoin or any Alt coin even BitCoin for that matter. Just to facilitate its existence? Yeah SolarCoin is fast and light etc. but why buy it and how do you support even $25,000 worth of merchant transactions without crashing the market? There are not enough coin in existence to deal with the low buys that will be forced out on the constant dive of selloffs. If that is the purpose of the coin to be used right? Or are people just supposed to come in at a frenzy and think that it is the next BitCoin and just buy buy buy? There are only 12 BitCoin in the market and most of the buys are very low. So to get a transaction in real time a merchant can sell $4,440.00 worth of goods and then the coin is at .00000002 and someone holds a ton of coin at that position. Now your positions are eroded just because of one single sale from a Panel Installer for 1 Job on 1 Roof.

More than just Transaction Value? I guess I can't argue with perception.

Why do you constantly assume the market is going to stay thin forever? You can't apply the conditions today with what will happen tomorrow, yet you stay convinced it's never going to happen. All of your arguments on trading liquidity are only based on trading actions, it never takes into account market viability. Are you aware every major currency in the world is traded on an exchange and the value constantly fluctuates, and there's a limited amount of supply for the demand? You just don't notice huge swings because of the adoption rate. In several years of claims, you'll see similar liquidity. I'm beginning to think you're just here to cause a ruckus.

To address your other concern about Solarcoins existence. It really only matters if people adopt it. I think there are several good reasons to do so.

Why? Because it can't support itself! I outlined it several times as a Leaky Ceiling. It makes no difference then if the market grows it only perpetuates the same outcomes on bigger scales. SLR and all Crypto coins including BitCoin are not a Currency they are a Stock, and you would buy a stock that has no assets or Profits just pure Market Cap? BitCoin has an infrastructure and costs so it may be the only relation to worth, where PoST can actually go in the opposite direction and that would make it worth less since it costs less to sustain since there is no competition to gain it. BitCoin is a race to spend energy and heat and generates worth, SolarCoin shows how much it can save and attempts to prove worth that way but at no real expense since the owners of Solar Panels already benefit from their purchase. 

All currency is a stock. It makes no difference if it's BTC, SLR, USD, or Euro. All currencies trade against each other and are subject to fluctuation. How many assets back up the US Dollar? How many profits? None. It's a debt note which makes it worth less than even 1 bitcoin, it's only function is to inflate. The USD like many other countries currencies are leaky ceilings but that fact is conveniently tucked away.

Your arguments tend to be based on false premises which is why arguing with you is pointless.

Im no expert, but the only way any crypto works long term is if the coin can be exchanged for goods/services, so for SLR we need solar installers to accept it in place of fiat, then it not claimants selling out to BTC/LTC or whatever, its an actual economy.

Say they accepted like 5-10% in Solarcoin. That would be huge!
339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SLR] SolarCoin | PoW to PoS v. 2.0 | Solar Proof of Generation (§1 = 1MWh) on: January 29, 2016, 04:59:22 AM
Ok sure you would think that solves it I can understand it seems that simple, but the problem then becomes how do the installers sell it to recoup their fees and profit vs costs?

Here is the main problem with alts in general... They must PEG to BitCoin for worth.

Now lets say that an installer is crazy enough to accept SLR in Lieu of Fiat. It would have to be a big wallet to do a $25,000 install. Right now SolarCoin is at .00004803 I will give the benefit of the doubt and go .00005000. BitCoin is at $378 or .00005x378=.0189 US Cents per SLR. Lets just say it is 2 cents since it is hypothetical anyways. So a $25,000 install would cost 25,000/.02 or 1,250,000 SolarCoins or 66.13 BitCoin.

So instead of taking their FIAT alone for $25,000 they must enter into a risky financial exchange of buying BitCoin to then buy SLR. The very act of Buying though would raise the price so they may not need 1,250,000 SLR to do the deal. If they place their buys at a wall and accumulate to sellers then they would need the 1,250,000. If they buy and run up the price, now the coin has no buy support and guess who has to sell off now? The Installer! The installer would be OK if the price stayed high. But Noooo! People want to buy low. They see the run up and keep their buys low ready for the installer to pounce on them with selling to get Liquidity for their Costs of Goods and Payroll etc. This doesn't even mention trading fees or exchange from FIAT to BitCoin and exposure in other markets.

Now if you just held that 1,250,000 SLR from Mining it isn't such a bad deal. But you are asking people to subvert the very nature of FIAT to buy BitCoin to Buy SLR and then ask the Installer to Accept it so they can then Sell it to BitCoin then to FIAT just to facilitate the existence of a coin. The best step would be to just take the FIAT go to the installer and be done. I hate to put this spin on it but most people do not realize Crypto is a Zero sum game. I had laid out ways to subvert this game and sustain the coin too but it alleviates greed and greed always trumps alternatives.

This is why service backed infrastructure is crucial to sustain a coin, like Storj coin. Something that can be used in exchange for a coin. If the energy from the actual Solar Panel could be traded or used it would mean something, but there is no way you can facilitate the transaction across public utilities spanning different companies and geographic boundaries. First because you don't own the transmission lines or maintain them, you just pay to access them or go off grid.

You're assuming Solarcoin must trade through Bitcoin. Given enough time and claims there will be a cash market. Trading between cash and Solarcoin will be as easy as linking your bank to a coinbase like website, and presto you have solarcoin or cash. With enough claims and enough network effect the coins will spread out enough to create an economy. Bitcoin had it easy because it was the first. Being first has its advantages. You don't have to be sexy or do anything special other than exist. Solarcoin has a purpose other than just transaction value. It's already grown past its original purpose but still retains all of its original intent. A lot of that had to do with the switch to PoST. But that's a good thing. it's lighter, faster, quicker to adapt to change. It may just beat out Bitcoin as several other crypto currencies are going to do if Bitcoin continues to emulate a turtle walking uphill in the desert sands.
