WHY NEW ANNOUNCEMENT?https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.msg17973106#msg17973106
INTRODUCTIONSOILcoin is an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency, using smart contracts and distributed applications (Dapps) run over a "global computer network" secured by blockchain technology utilizing the Dagger algorithm. This "Soil Virtual Machine" (SVM) is fueled by the digital currency called SOILcoin, which acts as the gas that runs the computational processes on the SOILcoin network, and is minted through Proof of Work mining. SOIL is also a speculative currency available to trade against Bitcoin. This network features a Turing-complete programming language upon which anyone can build, deploy and interact with smart contracts. Smart contracts are accounts which contain code functions and can collaborate with other smart contracts. Dapps can be built from contracts or interconnected suites of contracts, and can be programmed to make autonomous and automatic decisions, store data, perform computations and send SOILcoin to other accounts. The ability to create smart contracts on the SVM is becoming more and more simplified, with very flexible programming languages. Smart contracts can be used to create "tokens" that reside on the SOILcoin network which can be used to represent anything of value, from a new altcoin to a federated peg of an existing crosschain cryptocurrency; from a participation reward for participation in distributed scientific computing to shares providing dividends or voting rights within a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO); from casual gaming in-game currencies to crowdfunding pledges; from an asset-backed method of investment to an AppCoin built onto a service; to an ownership certificate representing anything imaginable. Complex Dapps can be built, leveraging a symbiotic network of smart contracts, providing services and functions to end-users, running on SOIL as their computational fuel. The SOILcoin project was conceived to provide the platform upon which we could establish a scalable framework of applications that would ultimately serve several key life-essential industries: precision agriculture, environmental science, and renewable and green energy.
SPECIFICATIONSAlgorithmDAGGER is a "memory-hard to compute, memory-easy to verify" Scrypt alternative, based on moderately connected "directed acyclic graphs" (DAGs), created by Ethereum visionary Vitalik Buterin. Memory-hardness is important to make the PoW (Proof of Work) function generally ASIC-resistant. This produces a more democratic distribution of cryptocurrency mining, making it cost-ineffective to run Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs of the sort that have dominated Bitcoin mining over the past few years, pushing out the average cryptocurrency user in favour of large scale "mining farms" consisting of dozens (if not hundreds) of ASIC units, which leads to a centralization of mining into the hands of the few. The Dagger algorithm is designed to be resistant to that sort of mining, making it feasible for the average user with either CPU or GPU mining to effectively take part in the mining process and blockchain verification.

COMMUNITYNo cryptocurrency can survive without an involved community. While the focus of this currency is on the end-users who essentially stem from industries without a specific connection to altcoins, we should at the same time keep our vision turned inward and maintain an informed and empowered community of users. The SOILcoin Project is envisioned as an authentic community-managed cryptocurrency, with democratically realized evolutions of the core protocol and its applications. The overall decision making on core protocol issues will be achieved through consultation with the community of users and by the people who invest in SOIL. Any community member that wants to help or work on the protocols and core development projects of SOILcoin, please feel free to join us. SOILcoin is self-funded - therefore we need donations for further development and server costs.
If you wish to help further Soilcoin's development, we would really appreciate any donations you can make

PROJECTS
VISIONRenewable EnergyA report released by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that the ability to provide 80% of America's electricity needs by 2050, using renewable energy with technology that is commercially available today is a reasonable proposition. European and Asian nations have embraced renewable energy as part of their strategies for energy production going forward. What is needed is a system that can dynamically meet the supply/demand balance with technologies such as "smart grids", demand forecasting, and increased operational coordination. Software applications are currently being utilized to conceptualize the collector systems, determine wind and solar penetration and perform grid interconnection studies. Other programs are used to monitor wind turbine performance, solar panel & inverter performance, solar and wind penetration studies, and grid interconnection studies. Smart contracts are already being designed to help monetize microgrid generation, and build community energy markets. Virtual metering and local energy trading applications are in the process of being built, and projects such as Reposit can be built onto the SOILnet, wherein one uses smart contracts to automatically buy energy during off-peak hours and sell it back when the grid is short of power. Virtually every green energy design, development and delivery application can be built, and interconnected using smart contracts as the dApps ecosystem on the SOIL virtual machine is enriched. As smart contracts can be built to be inter-communicative, bridging these technologies to collaborate with one another will be possible. Distributed generation is produced or stored by a variety of small, grid-connected devices referred to as distributed energy resources (DER) which include small hydro, biomass, solar, tidal, wind, and geothermal power. These energy technologies can benefit from inter-communicative smart contracts governing every part of renewable energy deployment from collection design, optimization and eventual grid deployment, from large scale distributors to small community run collectives.
Distributed Scientific ComputingUsing the SOILcoin virtual machine will leverage the global network for advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve problems. Use of the blockchain and smart contracts to model real-world conditions, and smart-databases stored via sharding and IPFS gateways on the blockchain can solve the need for interconnected scientific assets, enabling transparent, reproducible and trans-disciplinary research. Many scientific computational fields of study can be adequately designed, performed, shared, and stored on the verifiable blockchain ledger. Everything from protein sequencing and bioinformatics, to computational archaeology, chemistry, economics, engineering, forensics, geophysics, particle physics or neurosciences can be performed on the blockchain. Results can be verified, shared and reproduced. Geographic Information System technologies can be used for everything from LiDAR mapping to agricultural strategies and forestry management.
