🔋 [ANN] [VPC] - ⚡ VoltPotCoin ⚡ First "Virtual Battery" on Earth 🌍

[ekkakon]

Hello Everyone!  

We are happy to introduce to you

VOLTPOTCOIN (VPC)
project

https://voltpot.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/VPC512x512.png

This project was developed by a group of volunteers with mixed skills set, from different fields of work, who got together because of their common goal: to use green energy on a planetary scale... more efficient.

WHY?

Why did we start working on this project? Let's look at some facts:

1. More and more people decide to install solar panels on their house, looking to reduce their electricity energy bills and get closer to an energy independence status.
2. More and more electric vehicles (cars, scooters, bicycles) are hitting the roads, every day.
3. The main amount of solar energy is available during daytime hours, when the domestic demand is low (people being out for work, house lights and appliances turned off).
4. The highest road traffic is also during the daytime. Electric vehicles are more likely to need charging during this time too.
5. The number of public electrical chargers is low and it's unlikely that the national electrical grids will cope with the increasing demand for electric cars charging.

WHAT?

What is this project's purpose?

We would like to see people being given an alternative option, regarding the way they generate and spend the electric energy which they produce (e.g. solar panels)
The VoltPotCoin concept offers the possibility to "store" the energy excess, in a digital, decentralised form so it can be used later on. Just like having a "Virtual Battery" available to you, anytime, anywhere...
Transforming Energy into products/services and vice-versa is another important thing to mention.
Minimising the energy transfer losses, decreasing the risk of national grids overloads, reducing the carbon footprint, are just some of the other targets VoltPotCoin project aims to achieve.

HOW?

This is how we think it should work:

Looks nice any pools to mine it ??

[Sparks60]

is there a Linux wallet yet?

[wanganxiu]

Pay attention to safety inspections, beware of Trojan horses online！！！

It's on its way...

I think everyone should take this advice onboard. Anyway, was your remark pointing to this project or just a general advice?

I am suggesting that the reminder does not refer to your project

[AmoreJaz]

the concept is not new in this forum. but the more project like this, the better. and most of the old projects related to renewable energy actually didnt materialise so if you have the capability to turn this into reality, why not? just hope it will not end up in trading only and forget the main mission for this project.
btw, in what countries are you going to implement this project? because it is better to have an example where your platform is up and running rather than give a vague answer, which most of the time, it means, you will not implement your actual objectives

We work on a mining pool. It's been tested at the moment.

the webpage is available here for now: http://pool.voltpot.org:7070
and miners can connect to the port 3032. (e.g. for CCminer : < ccminer-x64.exe -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.voltpot.org:3032 -u VPC***wallet address***** -p c=VPC >)

N.B. we'll make an official announcement when this pool is stable. If anyone's interested though, can try it

We already have VOLTPOT® platform ( https://voltpot.com/intro-page ) where VoltPotCoins can be used (in the shopping area for example: https://voltpot.com/product/coronavirus-covid-19-custom-message-display-board)

VOLTPOT® platform is available worldwide. We already have few hundreds of users registered (as clients or business owners). Obviously, we know that there is still a long road ahead, and it will need a lot of effort and resources to make more people see the advantages offered by this platform.
Once we manage to achieve this, the VoltPotCoin value will be given not only by the exchanges markets rates but also by its use on Voltpot platform (might be adopted by other platforms too, who knows...). Despite VPC presence on exchanges markets is important, this is not our main goal.
We want to see VPC being actively used by people to trade, store and transform (in services/products) the renewable energy they produce (at a domestic level) via platforms similar to voltpot.com

56000 blocks were mined and 2.3 Gh of power in the network - what's the point of mining your coin? You won't find anything on the processor in a week!

just rent some power and mine

We've been surprised to see a massive interest to mine VPC in the last week since we've started advertising it. Some miners rushed into it and the network speed and difficulty increased exponentially. In the last 24-48hr it looks like the things settled down a bit, but it will take a bit of time for network speed and difficulty to readjust. (target difficulty checkpoint is at aprox. every 560 blocks)

I don't know though if the difficulty or H/sec will go so low to make it worth solo mining with a CPU. Mining in a pool might be an option. It would give the possibility to use GPU instead of CPU (more cost effective).

I would suggest for you to wait and keep an eye on it in the following days, as the block time at the moment is also huge (almost 1 hr).

Antivirus alerted to Fuery.D!cl trojan in the windows wallet download?

Antiviruses will likely pop-up such messages with different type of threats being mentioned. The Windows package was compiled based on the Github source code mentioned in the main post.
If there is any doubt regarding the Windows wallet security, please don't install it. You can compile it yourself, based on the source code available on Github.

In the future will try to be in touch with the main Antivirus providers, in order to have our VPC Windows Wallet package included on their white list. It takes time and money (a lot) to get certifications from Microsoft and other software developers.

I see that as for now the network speed went down to 0.8Gh and diff is also down to about 79 (from 1.2k). I'm doing at the moment 350Khs with my GPU in voltpot.org pool and get paid regularly. So I think you could get some VPCs mining with CPU in a pool. https://miningpoolstats.stream/voltpotcoin
