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

[Nick70001]

If there's one thing I can say about Solarcoin. The management is top notch. Nowhere in crypto land is there caliber of management this coin has by it's very inception. I'm not saying these people are legendary warriors from a land light years away, but I am saying there's no way in the world I'd be able to afford 10 seconds on their time normally and here I am investing in their vision.

And boy do they have vision.

Shall I buy more? I already have about 200K SLR. Give me advice.

Very much up to you. All I can say is I put my Air Force Pension into SLR at the end of each month.  It isn't a huge amount, but this month is probably the last chance to get a decent price.  One thing though, just wait a couple of days until my buy wall is depleted

haha same here. Let it get through 448 then it's all yours.

LOL - I see you there on Bittrex - mine's on AC.....

Hopefully they both get filled. There has been good volume on Bittrex these last few weeks. I hope a miner wants to dump a few coins before they switch to another coin.

For those who are not aware, the Cannacoin team (CCN) is assisting in the development of Solarcoin.  We are moving your coin over to PoS 2.0 over the next two months beginning with the reduced PoW rewards.  Our developer and QA specialists will be extensively testing these changes and working with the Solarcoin team very closely.

I have taken a personal stake in the success of Solarcoin and it is a pleasure to co-develop on cryptocurrency technologies.  Both of our coins envision a better world where people can develop their own energy sources to supply food and medicines for themselves and their communities.

We are ecstatic about LED technology in the indoor growing industry and the reduction in energy usage for our industry combined with the growth of Solar technology is a win-win for everyone.

One day, people will be able to use greenhouses with solar panels and grow food and medicine throughout the fall, winter, and spring.

LED lighting technology combined with solar energy can lead to a new revolution in organic food and an invigoration of local economies.

Yep, more to come soon.  We are really excited to co-develop with other coins.

We've got a lot of things already developed for our coin such as Cannapay exchange trading and merchant processing platform:

I'm so excited to have you guys on board. Of course, I am a little biased since Cannacoin is the only other altcoin I own as an investment outside of SolarCoin. LOL Check out the bottom of my little diet website, you'll see.

tokyopotato, thanks for your post. A big thank you to you and the rest of the Cannacoin team for helping SolarCoin to implement our block reward reduction and transition to PoS. I've been talking with Josh and am impressed with his technical ability, attention to detail, understanding of the big picture of the crypto world, and desire to help. We're very glad to be collaborating together for the improvement of both of our currencies! 

As you said, there is a lot of overlap in the interests of the solar energy community and the cannabis community. We both tend to have "green" values, and solar technology can free people, communities, and environmentally friendly businesses from the centralized corporate/government power grid and empower them with an independent, distributed energy solution which respects the planet's ecosystem.

I very much look forward to working with the Cannacoin team as we move forward to switch both SLR and CCN to proof-of-stake. This relationship is a win-win for both of our currencies, which are among only a handful of coins that have a specific target audience and industry-focused business plan -- coins that are likely to last and grow in the long term. Working together, I believe we can make sure that SolarCoin will be the premier cryptocurrency of the renewable energy movement and that Cannacoin will become the leading currency of the legal marijuana industry.

Nice site Epiphany! I've always been a big fan of the documentary "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" and this is usually the first video I recommend to my patients who ask for more information about healthier eating options ... and Gary Taubes too, I like his work a lot, even though I think he is a little short-sited on his take on dietary fiber.

Block reduction getting close picked up my last solars at bittrexx today before the block reduction begins.

[crumb-bum]

Wow, just checked in after several months to see how my investment in SLR is doing. Looks like I lost 95% of my investment. And now we are hooking up with cannacoin???

What happened to Nick G and Co?

Why cannacoin? Somebody said it was a crypto 2.0 platform. Is that true? What other functions do they offer on their blockchain?

Months ago I suggested to Nick that we move over to the nxt platform. Nxt really is a PoS 2.0 platform, with an asset exchange, digital goods store, smart contracts, etc etc etc. Nxt has the advantage also that it is not mined, therefore saving energy, therefore fitting in with the ideology of SLR. I wonder why you guys went with cannacoin instead of nxt?

So you bought SLR at 9500 satoshis? We'll be at that level before too long.

Regarding the fork, it was stated a few pages back: "BlackCoin v. 2 has been chosen as our new codebase for PoS."

[crumb-bum]

Okay, correction, I've only lost 75% of my value. I bought in at 2000 sat.

Are you saying that cannacoin is a fork of blackcoin?

Now I'm completely confused. Is it cannacoin or blackcoin that we are joining?

Cann coin team came in to work on Solarcoin. Solarcoin PoS fork is based on Blackcoin.

[crumb-bum]

ok, thanks. That's more clear now.

The Cannacoin dev team is helping us to transition SolarCoin to PoS. This is a two-phase process:

Phase 1: Block reward reduction from 100 to 1 per block, -3 per day for about a month until it reaches 1 SLR per block. This fork will also include implementation of Kimoto's Gravity Well to fix our problem with wildly fluctuating difficulty, and it will use the Cannacoin codebase.

Phase 2: Proof of Stake v. 2.0 using the BlackCoin codebase, with 1% annual interest rate.

We partnered with the Cannacoin team because our own team is short on developers right now and the Cannacoin devs are excellent and have created some excellent apps for their coin, which could easily be adapted for SolarCoin (Reddit tip bot, VBulletin forum tip bot, merchant solutions, etc.). We are excited that they want to help SolarCoin succeed, and I, for one, hope their coin will also succeed and becomes the premier currency of the medical marijuana industry.

As for the SLR price, yes it's dropped a lot, but so have nearly all other PoW currencies in recent months. What has happened to our price is nothing unusual. It's annoying for all of us who got in early, but I'm confident that the price will go back up after we stop producing so many new coins and switch to 1% annual inflation via PoS.

Since I'm on here right now posting, I might as well let everyone know that we've decided to delay the first fork for about 1 more week. The reasons are: (1) when studying the code and the blockchain, the new devs realized there were some problems that should be fixed, such as needing to implement KGW, and we decided to switch to CCN codebase rather than keep using the awful SLR code which was an old, outdated fork of Litecoin and Florincoin. This is going to take a few more days. (2) We needed a few more days also to get the word out and make sure people have enough time to learn about the fork and update their wallets.

I will post the new block number as soon as soon as it's decided for sure. Sorry for the delay, but it's a minor one. We're just talking about a few extra days, and we'll be getting a much better codebase, and KGW, as a result of that extra time.

freebird, thanks for setting that all out. Now that I understand what's afoot I'm happier with the situation here. I still think NXT was the way to go, but the die is cast, and it's a heck of a lot better than PoW.

Are there any features of our new PoS crypto 2.0 platform that you are excited about in their application to SLR? If our new platform can do smart contracts it might be good to award SLR to solar producers through a smart contract function. I can imagine one fine day (once the legal dust settles) being able to invest in a solar installation via an IPO/asset offering on the SLR platform. And we all might be able to vote on decisions affecting SLR via a voting mechanism on our block chain. Or am I just blowing smoke?

First switch SLR to CCN codebase, implement PoW block reward reduction.  In the meantime, we will move Cannacoin over to PoS 2.0 and start testing.  Moving you to the new codebase will be seamless at that point.

Mutual development pact.  We are going to leverage our coding assets to the max for this.

Cheers,
Patrick

I'm looking into something we could call SolarHalo, which could do contracts (see BitHalo/BlackHalo for how it could be used for SolarCoin in that sense). We are almost perfect for it. Assuming we use the Blackcoin code base, adopting Halo should be within reach.
