Any idea when we will have the fork details set in stone?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

And I remember how excited I was when I got to 20,000.  Those were the days!! I thought at the time it would never happen that I could get to 100,000. Boy did I read that wrong!!! LMAO hah! I was excited when I got my first 1,000 back in January and I even almost quit mining SLR at that point, but I just wasn't interested in mining anything else. I remember that too. I was using my laptop and hubbies computer and cranking out about 5 SLR an hour. I though I was the bomb...  Then I bought the 450 KHs miner and was getting about 500 a day (until it crashed and fried and burned on me, the PoS...). When it got listed, I realized it was much easier to just buy them. Still, I enjoyed those 500 SLR per day and I'd still be mining if the video card hadn't been a dud. |

I have no idea. I'm not privy to those discussions. I do get some related e-mails but I don't know any significant details that Eric hasn't already shared. I had lunch with Eric this past weekend and got to meet him. We had a fantastic brunch, yapped and chatted for 3 hours.  Anyway, he is in communication with the developer we're using and is on top of the situation. Eric is very good at disseminating the details to us, so once things get nailed down, I expect we'll hear from him. I know who the developer is but I don't know if a firm timeline has been figured out yet other than "a few weeks" and that could mean anything I suppose. |

I've been mining/accumulating for months, and have a good bundle.  While my GPUs have served their purpose, at the current hash rates, I've been using the proceeds from my KNC Bitcoin miners to steadily accumulate more solarcoins. Along with my early mining, I've been buying at many different prices over the last few months, and am not too worried about the current prices I pay, as it will mean very little in the long run...when time makes these prices look amazing  |

January 24, 2014. It was a cold night in central New Brunswick (though not as cold as it used to be when I was a kid...). I had spent the day reading everything I could find on the internet about SolarCoin. I read a CoinDesk article the night before as I was reading my Twitter feed in my pajamas and decided I needed to check this coin out. After deciding I definitely could be excited about something like this, I then forced my head into the confusing and utterly frustrating world of solo-mining and pool mining and all that jazz, desperately trying to figure it out. I finally managed to get solo mining working on my laptop right before bed. When I woke up the next morning, my poor little laptop was straining from the heat but I solved a block!!! Yes, dammit, I did. I was so excited, looking back it really is pretty funny how excited I actually was. It was Block 25848. I wonder if that's my lucky number? |

Great story i set my moms computer up for solo moning and by the time i looked up at the screen she had found a block. After that it took half a day for her next block |

SLR was one of my first coins to mine as well, I think it may have been the very first but cannot say for sure. It was pretty crazy trying to figure out all this mining stuff at that time:-)
If memory serves, I think I mined SLR with my first 3 GPUs.....all 290x cards, for somewhere around 3-4 months straight.....never took the foot off the pedal during those months. I think I ended up with somewhere around 80k from those 3 little cards. Mined a little here and there since, but most that have been added since then were purchased when I had some BTC to spare.
Am hoping to increase mine and my mom's SLR holdings another 200K or so....we will see.

Yeah definitely.....she just retired a few months back so it would be BEYOND exciting for me to be able to help her subsidize her retirement funds!
Man, I just did the math......good job man, really cool you got your family involved too! I foresee many thanks coming to you from them in the not so distant future:-)

I was wondering how to make solarcoin paper wallets? I am only vaguely familiar with how to do them for bitcoin. Is there a guide for solar ones?

I also remeber my first 10,000 solarcoins i was so happy lol Now myself and family have about 6% of the total outstanding solarcoins in cold storage I'm pretty much the exact same (approx. 6%). lol I gave a bunch to my 2 teenage boys, and they (like me) are sitting tight on them for a long time to come As well, I'm another proud Canadian (Ottawa). |

Looks like there will not be any significant dumping of this coin because you guys have 12% and I have another 3% which will not be sold for a few years. The community all seem to be in this for the long run. |

I started mining Litecoin back when it was actually profitable. Then I switched to feathercoin, love the community there, if anyone is interested in an amazing crypto community feathercoin is awesome! But then I started looking for alternatives and I ran across solarcoin based on a friends recommendation. I started mining it with my three 7950 radeon MSI twin frozr cards (yeah I'm old school haha), and kept mining them when the difficulty was under 1. Man I was getting thousands of coins a day! I sold a few of them, and I also traded a few to increase my holdings a little. I managed to pick up about 27 MH of cloud hashing power and a mined a few with that also for a bit, but the software GAW was using wasn't right and they didn't perform very well. There was a short period when I wasn't able to mine some SLR and I felt kind of odd about that so I picked up a GAW Fury and started hashing away again. I now have two Fury's on miningpoolhub pulling between 1.9 and 4.5 MH/s. But I've already accumulated around 200k coins, 150k of which are in cold storage until the sun burns out to help with inflation issues this coin is suffering.
And that's my solarcoin mining story. The community story is quite amazing also. Met some smart people, so smart I feel like a frog swimming amongst dolphins. What I've learning in the last 2 months about the environmental issues just being aware of solarcoins mission has both inspired me and made me ill. This coin HAS to succeed. Solar must be a major component of our power requirements in order to reverse environmental damage caused by a lack of foresight and technological barriers which now have been tackled. Not saying solar won't without solarcoin, it very well has in the last decade but solarcoin does fill a market void that has been available to other sources of energy for decades. It's the right technology, and right time for it.
