[ANN][SLR] SolarCoin - PoW reward for solar energy | the GREEN KING of Crypto

[vipgelsi]

Is there a plan for when we are able to buy things with solarcoin? I know this is a long term plan but was wondering if it has been discussed so far.

I'd love it if solarcity started accepting it. Hah that would be awesome.

Imagine if you used 5 solarcoins toward your purchase at solarcity then say solarcity gives  you 5% off for the 5 coins this would be huge for solarcoin.

You would see auctions on ebay for 5 solarcoins going for hundreds of dollars i bet.  5% off is a huge amount on a large install even 1% lol

5% of $20,000 install is $1000   would you pay $100 for 5 solarcoins on ebay to save $900?

You can buy Nicks book.

I think it's only available in the states. If they send them overseas I'm keen to buy one.

I don't get it. You are promoting green energy by wasting energy and resources ?

Do I have to remind you that the electricity you use to mine SolarCoin come from Coal, Oil, Natural Gas and Nuclear ?

Do I have to remind you that ASIC-scrypt miner are made of rare resources and that these hardware become obsolete in few months ?

Why block explorer is not working?
Please DEV update thread, give some news.

Block explorer looks fine to me: http://blockexplorer.solarcoin.org/browse_blocks/SolarCoin

Please DEV update thread, give some news.

BlackCoin v. 2 has been chosen as our new codebase for PoS. Developer has studied it thoroughly and determined that he is confident he can do the job but it will take longer than previously expected. Won't be ready by block 300,000. He's working on it as fast as he can.

Thanks for the update, I was just about to ask. Well, the good news is that we can continue buying more cheap coins, as the dumpers continue to scramble to pay off their miners.

Thank you very much. That's real pretty awesome news

It's good news overall, although the delay is unfortunate.

Here's the deal folks. The developer has said it will probably take something like a month to get all this done. It's a complex process to convert SolarCoin, which is Scrypt-based, to BlackCoin v. 2 codebase which is Sha256d-based, and to make sure all the features we want to keep from SolarCoin's original code are included in the new code. On the other hand, we could have a fork for a block reward reduction done in only one week from now, and then do the switch to PoS as a second fork when the dev is finished with that work.

Everybody, especially miners, please weigh in on which of these you prefer:

A. One fork option. Wait until all of the work is completed and do only one fork, probably about a month from now.
B. Two fork option. Fork in 1 week from now to start the gradual block reward reduction. 2nd fork about a month later for switch to PoS.

We want to make a decision soon, and obviously we need the support of the miners for whatever course of action we take. Thanks.

I think one fork is easier to manage.  Another month is not so bad…it's a little more time to mine and buy a few more coins :-)

I like the idea of being able to buy more coins for cheap, but also it must be considered that:
fewer coins in circulation = higher overall value

Therefore, I vote option B, start reducing the block reward asap.

[djchoppa]

Yes Option B please.

All good, just have to look at the effort & coordination to role out new source; wallets, pool updates, communication, code testing/delays, etc.

[Epiphany]

I am OK with either option but I do see the value in restricting supply sooner rather than later, so if option B is relatively painless to accomplish, go for it.

For sure!

OK here on option B.
