[ANN][SLR] SolarCoin | PoW to PoS v. 2.0 | Solar Proof of Generation (§1 = 1MWh)

[javkot]

Project is far from over because one centralized entity chose not to use it anymore.  It used to be crypto people didnt care what centralized entities thought or did, decentralization was what mattered; now its all just about fiat gainz, how sad.

When the coin is in the hands of millions of people, we will see if exchanges are interested then.

+100

+1000%

We must not forget that the community is most important in any project.
And what the team says is complete nonsense.
After leaving the bittrex, many withdrew from the project. The community has recently decreased several times and the number of active wallets has decreased tenfold.

+10000

Obviously the crypto world is full of greed and everyone is willing to step on everyone else's back to get to the top. But this does not seem to be true in the solarcoin community. The leaders in the SLR community are very kind and helpful. However, it's sad that others still have to spread their FUD about a world-changing project. One might think that all this FUD is merely for the purpose of driving the price down as low as possible so some people can buy as many cheap SLR as they can because secretly they know this project has great potential to be a huge success! Otherwise, what is the purpose of posting such negativity?!?!? As for me, I'm with vipgelsi, I rejoice when the price goes low because those are the buy opportunities, and I rejoice when the price goes high because those are the sell opportunities.

I've been an SLR supporter since DAY 1, even tried to make a podcast about it. Sad to say that while i LOVED the ideas this project tried to tackle, it never took off because some centralized group has to issue the coins after people "claim them". (too slow, too centralized)

This reason alone is enough to kill the project, not to mention the other things already discussed like 1) Lack of Devs 2) Lack of use 3) Lack of volume or people talking about it

At this point, I'm hoping that one day someone makes an ASIC-like machine that people could use to prove they are capturing solar energy, which would then automatically grant them SLR to the wallet of their choice. Sadly, even if this did come into existence, it's more likely that someone would rather use it for a well-known coin like BTC. (not to mention that it's been proven BTC mining gives incentive to people who find cheap/renewable sources of energy to maximize profits naturally out of competition)

I still keep the original 700 coins I mined when the project first came out, but after the Trex delisting I've given up any hope if it ever being worth something, or even used at all for more that speculation. If no one is investing, no one developing, and other coins (like BTC) are so prevalent, why would anyone choose SLR?


TLDR: This project is likely dead so support it all you want, but please don't throw your money away by trying to invest in it because the use case is just too soon for this world

[mattwj44]

Wow doom and gloom the sky is falling... Continue to buy high and sell low    hmm the price is low right now i wonder what we should do?

Low? LOL I bet after the delisting we will see SLR move to sub 10 sat prices.... buy now and you'll get rekt another -10x IMO but go right ahead

In fact that has been worked on by several community members including myself, my contribution here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhpkXsFDTQE.  However a non-deterministic input like energy readings needs a trusted oracle (incredibly hard to actually achieve).

Now consider a little product like the https://www.zymbit.com/ that allows you to make a Raspberry Pi into a trusted platform with decentralized private/public key security, and effectively tamper proof in deployment.

Of course there is no guarantee the Foundation would grant SLR based on this tech, its a community project, but at least we try to make a real difference.

To check by yourself if it's dead or not , check their solarcoin ! it's far from being dead ,  https://solarcoin-group.slack.com/

Yeah you know what good idea ill check. Oh wait fuck. The slack group is private. LOL. another great idea the solarcoin community had. I mean who comes up with this shit? you know what lets make a private slack group where noone can see what is being talked about. Anyone holding more than 100k SLR will never ever be able to get their money out once its not on bittrex anymore

There are more than 6000 installs that have received solarcoin grants. Just in the month of June 2019, there have been about 600 new SLR claimants. This demonstrates continued and ongoing growth of the project. And since grants are given on an ongoing basis, then once a claimant is signed up to receive grants they will continue to receive grants and be an integral part of the community. In other words, the strong community base is built on the people receiving SLR grants and NOT on the fickle traders at any exchange platform. The more this grant-community grows, then the more value SLR will have because value is based on the number of users.

Transfer Type:

○ AGRT = Initial SolarCoin Grant

○ PGRT = Periodic SolarCoin Grant

○ BGRT = Bounty Grant

○ NDF = Network Development Fee

Wow doom and gloom the sky is falling... Continue to buy high and sell low    hmm the price is low right now i wonder what we should do?

I think it is worth avoiding this project side.
What is the point for a smart investor to buy project tokens without exchanges that was only recently expelled from a large site like bittrex and which has huge problems with the product?
There are options much more interesting in this market.

The SLR project is far from over. Nothing has changed on the development side. They still have the SCF development team that is continuing to find speaking engagements at conferences, continuing to gain affiliates, and continuing to find more contacts at monitoring companies and other organizations who will further the SLR community by way of gaining more members to receive SLR grants. The goal of the project is to build a strong community base from within, from the grant members, and NOT from the "outside investors." It is the "inside investors" who are producing solar power, those are the ones who will make this project be successful.

I think you need to quantify what the "huge problems" are with the "product": are you saying there is a fundamental problem with electricity?

About 280 New Solarcoin Claimants.       https://solarcoin.enapter.com/transactions?query=Agrt

Such bad news!! I wonder what the real reason is that all of a sudden Bittrex delists? Could be that they only allow Doge Coin to go to Satoshi levels because they own so much of it. So when they Pump Bitcoin it would have SAT on Solarcoin and make everyone rich just selling at 1 Satoshi. This was my end game to actually give stability to SolarCoin, and now that it is here Solarcoin can't even participate. Too bad...

I am working on a coin that should see my ideas that SolarCoin didn't want to implement come to fruition. I would love to help SolarCoin though and in the new coin I am creating, people will be able to get back all of their costs of Solar and work hand in hand with Bitcoin sending coin at Zero Fees, so you can use the coin and the market will be protected also. I am getting funding together to make it a reality. I will keep an eye here and also will allow all SolarCoin Claimers onboard. We will change the face of crypto, it is gonna be a wild ride!

I could also Save SolarCoin and you can go back to my past posts to see the remedy. The PoW coin needs to be swapped down and Fork to a new idea. If the Devs want to donate from the SLR Dev fund I can show how to make a Masternode type setup without running a VPS. I already had it running on a TestNet in JAVA and it works great.

Get ready for the epic pump of BTC, just sell before the new year to pay off all your crypto gains taxes! Probably dump out like it did before, but they may just shake everyone out too...

[mattwj44]

LOL CryptoNick no one cares about your shit coin and no one will use it. Anyone who backs your coin (or SLR for that matter) is only doing so hoping to gain more $$, or more BTC through speculation, because the incentives and economies of scale don't exist in the altcoin space to pull ideas like this off.

We don't need these new coins to change the world. We thought we did, but BTC has proven us all wrong because its the only one that functions as it said it would.


Don't listen to me if you don't trust me, however my best advice would be to take any time, money, & resources, and point them towards BTC..... the rest of these morons can keep putting their hearts and minds behind something that has brought infinitely less change (and $ value) than BTC.


Main point**

With BTC there is no debating, there is only code and execution. The rest of these coins are a pipe dream that people use to steal your BTC when they dump bags on you. Enjoy that nonsense kids

[javkot]

I've always liked CryptoNick's ideas in the past, but it's sad he feels the need to create a new SLR competitor. I just wish he would be active on the slack where the real communication is happening.

Cool glad you liked my suggestions!

SLR didn't take my advice so I am making my own Crypto that includes solar and charity among other things like burning Alt Coins LTC and ETH etc.. I think the ideas can still be implemented into SLR I just have no control over the Development or direction at SLR. You know I tried too. There are so many coins out there so I don't want to make another Alt coin, it will be a one of a kind can't reveal all just yet. I am working with a team of people to make something much better that should gobble up the Alt coins and actually do them a favor too as less coin makes higher prices. The Alt Coin Derivatives are a mess and now Bitcoin is just a Derivative too.

My suggestions are still there for SLR. I hope it helps and I think IF... The 90B are gone, and SLR can get out of the Satoshi Range and keep the same marketcap it will stay on Bittrex. They don't like it when coins can be squeezed down to a satoshi and make tons of profit for the holders and if Bittrex is not a large holder etc it means they are enriching someone else who may sell 90 billion SLR etc... I have the perfect way to protect SLR and Appease Bittrex!

I need to pay for Development costs of my own as I paid out of pocket to have a Java coder write it but it would work like a dream for SLR.

Main thing for SLR is to get rid of PoW Coin reduced down to a smaller amount, this will boost the Sats up and make it so PoW coin can't dump on the market.
Then Get rid of the 90 Billion coin Poof gone.
Next steps are Technical but there are many different ways to distribute rewards with my ideas!

Is there more going on in Slack? How do I get in? The website doesn't have an invite link to the channel.

Yes the primary conversation is happening at the slack. When we converted over to slack a couple years back then most of us started ignoring this bitcointalk thread. Unfortunately it is invite only (hopefully we can change that), but invites are freely given upon request. Just pm me your email and I'll send you an invite.

I read that on a few different alt coin threads, we dont post or have stopped posting on the BCT thread.    Seems like a mistake, this thread is the most likely to be read by the outside world and the new growth to participation on the blockchain.   
  Fair enough if people dont find it that useful but if someone pops by and posts a digest of the open discussion elsewhere and obviously any formal updates then its going to help maintain awareness.

I agree. I think it would be very useful if we can keep bct regularly updated with the conversations and relevant posts from the slack. There are a few of us who try to do that, but we are just not as consistent as maybe we should be.
