A few things I want to discuss with the community and get advice on.
No .1: I've decided to make a test system here at our location that is a stand-alone solar PV system connected to a router. The router is VPN enabled and also has cyber security using WEB SSL support, Firewall, DoS, spoofing prevention, User roles, Password management ICMP, Multicast and VPN filtering.
Basically the solar system will power itself from a battery bank and charge itself from PV panels. I have designed it in a way using worst-case scenarios for its location to have 99.8% uptime because of the battery backup. It will have a HTML5 login to its kWh production, (theoretical) solarcoin generation number since its birth and many other features.
I also think that if you can cost down these systems that are "mining" solarcoin's from the sun and sending information to the solarcoin foundation automatically for granting you are giving more economic utility and access to people anywhere on the planet that have access to the sun. That can't be a bad thing.
lfloorwalker, I want to encourage you to move forward with this and devote resources to it, because I think it's an awesome idea and could be one of the pivotal developments in SolarCoin as we move towards our goal of full automation of the granting process. You know it occurs to me, you mentioned mining from the sun which is accurate. Do you think it would be possible to assign a unique hash, like generate a unique hash, maybe sign the output figure with the wallet signature feature so you know at all times these watts are being produced only from this wallet for example. Maybe this can be introduced into the smart contracts? Imagine the value of the SolarCoin blockchain with a system like that, just in terms of its data content about global energy production!  Yes.  |

Yup, we're working on integrating SLR... coming VERY soon. I want to thank you for working so hard on this. You're helping Solarcoin become a real brand, and making a huge name for yourselves as well at Cannacoin. I sent a small token tip earlier, trust me, there's more coming. Status: 4666 confirmations Date: 9/24/2014 22:54 To: CannaCoin Dev 8Q55kAuXekdrXH7BZbMKiVCuwksosiLxpD Debit: -11.58160524 SLR Transaction fee: -0.02 SLR Net amount: -11.60160524 SLR Transaction comment: text:Tip from Corather. Awesome job on the wallet! Transaction ID: b0d964e388217bc07721590cdc77df3630e3fcab3fa6b72a281338ad9637ea98 Did I send that to the right address? |

So I assume "Backed by real Marijuana 1 CannabisCoin (CANN) = 1 Gram of "Canndy" Marijuana"
is bullshit then. If it was true I could buy 1000 grams(or 2.20463 pounds) for $4.326 this second. Nice pumpity
You know what they say about assuming, they say you're an ass(ume). Such nice members. Come in with an attitude? Sorry if I came off with a attitude but that's the way I talk "I’ve started to kind of hate people, and it’s not because I have anything against them. It’s just, I enjoy it. It’s recreation." Louis C.K. Follows Louis C.K.? You must be alright. |

Weird thread! Why is the other thread closed?
If you would have spent only two damn minutes reading the posts here you wound't have asked this question in the first place. Because all the uro projects were fake , simple as that. They tried to bring up hype and make a profit when dumping but failed miserably So does anyone know what's going on with this coin then? Why is the original thread locked, has the dev abandoned the project?
Same for you. It must be difficult living life as a moron. I love the absolute BLIND faith of the URO sheep... Its been exposed. Plenty of proof out there and they arent even trying to deny it any more. If you wanna keep believing its your loss They, as you put them are simply ignoring the morons. If you want to believe it's denial, that's your problem. |

10 GHs!  Very good to see this! People must want this coin badly, knowing that it's going to be harder and harder to get as the mining reward decreases. I just find it amusing that this coin could be mined since around january, and I was getting thousands per day. Now it's being taken away and everyone wants a piece of the action all of the sudden. Of course the fine work by the canna devs and the solarcoin team have a lot to do with it also.  |

The total supply of SolarCoin in circulation will be approximately §98.1 billion over the next 40 years. This is fully documented and is comprised of the following: - Public Staking and Mining: ~§100 million (0.1%) of which §33.3 Million are publicly mined using scrypt PoW until such time that the Proof of Stake algorithm is implemented (currently scheduled to take place at Block 357,520). All publicly mined SolarCoins represent historically generated and unclaimed solar electricity. From block 357,520 forward, the only new supply of coins will come from the 1% staking interest that is built into the PoS model.
- The Generator Pool: §97.5 billion (99.4%) are currently stored in a secure, non-circulating generator pool account. These will be exchanged for “proof of generation” claims of solar electricity producers submitted over the next 40 years at the rate of §1 per MWh of solar energy generated. As claims grow, these SolarCoins will be released and become part of the “coins in circulation” such that the growth in supply over the next 40 years should mimic the growth in solar electricity generation worldwide, assuming all generators claim their coins.
- The Genesis Pool: §500 million (0.5%) are stored in the genesis pool account for environmental charities, early volunteers, advisers, builders and maintainers of SolarCoin infrastructure. Genesis pool circulation is capped so that it will never represent more than 5% of total SolarCoin in circulation at any given time.
Did I read that right, 99.9% premine? So you have to have trust in a centralized Generator Pool to hand out solar credits? I thought the whole point of crypto-currency was decentralization, and trust-less transactions. This one is a little different. As smart contract technology progresses, those contracts will have the keys to the vault. |

Somebody just bought 50,000 of our coins at 1400!! Somebody find out about our little secret here? ~darylluke. That wasn't me, but I picked up about 20k for 300 sat. Wish I found it earlier, but meh. I am mining some too with my little rig. I'm part of the network, woohoo. |

Never seen volume this high on solar bittrex
BTC VOL 5.22461927 BTC
See that volume. Imagine 10 times that volume after all these triggers begin. PoS, grants flying out the door, Incorporation, etc. |

Bad new... I heard a rumor that "one of the hired CANN devs" had problems with "The people that control the github repository". This person is now working on starting another cannabis coin which will be coming out soon. The coin will be doing exactly what CANN is doing but "claims" to have a larger network of dispensaries/growers.
CANN needs to expand into California ASAP otherwise someone in Cali will start a coin and there goes even more possible marketcap down the toilet. I have seen other people post about this and now it's importance is coming through.
This is the one bad thing with all cryptocoins. Economically, if you have the skills/ability to improve a coin further, it makes more sense to start/buy into a new coin that is selling for cheap instead of buying into an existing coin that is 100x more expensive.
For example, you could make a shitty scrypt cannabis coin and mine it at a low difficulty for months. You could then turn it to x11, get a little interest and get it on an exchange. You could then buy all the coins up for cheap. After the initial interest of x11 died you could then start buying all the coins for even cheaper. Once you owned 100% of all the coins you could pump up the market value pretty easy since you own all the coin. You could then cut off future coin production to maintain your large super majority ownership of coins. All of this could be done for 5 BTC.
Why would anyone want to join a coin and pay 100 BTC just to get 10%? They wouldn't.
The 100x growth CANN had makes it really hard for them to gain new supporters. People try to make connections with bitcoins amazing growth but it was "the only coin" so everyone worked on it. Now everyone who has skills is looking to make their own coin.
What can be done to get more people working together?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get more people and development going on with CANN instead of having new marijuana coins being created by each dispensary chain?
Competition makes the market strong. |

I am not sure from this what has to be done to update the wallet.
Presumably
Back up the old wallet.dat
run the new installation from the download
Will it install over the old one? What happens to the address?
then what?
I don't want to do that and find that I have lost my coins or access to them.
In addition, has anyone any suggestions of what Scrypt coins to mine after that. Solarcoin had a sensible purpose. Are there any other coins with a purpose?
Make multiple copies of the wallet.dat file. All of your addresses are stored in that file. The blockchain data can be erased completely and downloaded again and it won't affect your wallet file. Though again it's always a good idea to have multiple copies on several drives with the wallet encrypted. |

CANN currently top x11 coin for profitability on whatmine.com
Well, it has it's bright side and it's dark side also as most of the miners go for btc or $ so after mining their dump their coins and still profit even thought they could profit way more holding the coins. Are you saying Cannabis coin is like The Force? It has a bright side and a dark side and it holds the cryptoverse together? |

I think the organizational development aspect is one of those things where the voice of the community will be very important -- just as it was for the decision to switch to PoS. Nick and Joe are big believers in building this project from the grassroots rather than top-down. They don't want to be perceived as "bosses" of this project. Having said that, if the community believes it's time for more structure, to build this into a bona fide business and/or nonprofit, then I think the founders will listen and take the necessary actions.
This is true, and at the same time they are experienced in large business operations so we can trust they won't act on something that the community thinks is a great idea if it goes against their experience, or at least they have the wisdom to modify it appropriately. |

Perhaps when all the changes are done and SLR is fully POS, the developers can compile a fully functional SLR Raspberry Pi wallet. That would be a first and quite a coup - well in keeping with the philosophy of SLR....
That would be awesome. I think that's something that should be worked on in the future. |

I thought I heard "SolarCoin" before. Is it a re-launch or just same name?
Same coin. It's just being updated for block reduction and Proof of stake. |

I have 3 x gridseed orbs, 1 x Gridseed Blade (a total of 6.1Mh/s) running off of a baby fanless PC with a small SSD dedicated to SLR. This little setup sits in my workshop attached to an inverter / 110Ah 12v deep cycle battery and 300W of old solar panels. Even through our southern hemisphere winter I have managed to maintain 98% up-time on solar power alone. All up that baby PC uses just 10's of Watts and can happily run 2 x miner software and a SLR wallet. Keeping a wallet open on such a small PC. piggy backing wireless off the house router is a zero energy option even with a much smaller panel / battery setup. With a little thought I could probably get it to run off of the 12v direct (it needs 18v) by using a voltage shifter circuit and save the inverter. The Gridseeds will run off 12v and I use an old PC power supply to power the 12v rail for these. So with a little more work I could take quite a few latent inefficiencies out of the system, but the panels are there doing nothing else - they are the wrong spec to add to my 4.4 KVa house system.
My point is : compared to the wattage required to run even a very small mining rig, a baby PC running a wallet is of no consequence. Currently available (modern) scrypt miners are running about 10W/MH/sec at best. So a baby PC running a wallet would equate to about 2MH of mining effort max. Doesn't seem that wasteful to me....
As I write this there are 1698MH of mining hash on the SLR coin alone. That is (even at the 10w/MH as above) 3957Kw (3.9MW) a DAY..... That would run a lot of wallets......
T
True. I just looked up raspberry pi power consumption and it's between .5 and 1 watt. That is indeed a lot of open wallets using almost no power. I think once SLR coin hits PoS I will look into a pi solution to run the wallet. As it stand I have a netbook that eats about 10-20 watts I can use in the interim. |
