Solarcoin New Signups

Summary of the AMA call from yesterday:

Network theory of economics
-The average participating node in a network protocol (such as currency or reward) is worth somewhere between $500-$5000. The original research involved 50 of the world's largest currencies (incl. bitcoin and gold). The latest data involves research of 90 currencies going back about 30 years and that data supports the original thesis (each node is valued at $500-5000).

-SLR primary go-to-market strategy involves speaking with solar inverter manufacturers who act as monitoring portals and with utility companies.

-SLR is engaged with a CEO of a large monitoring company (couple weeks ago) and they seemed enthused.

SMA deal
-SMA is one of the largest monitoring platforms in the world.
-When we launched with SMA in February we anticipated significant uptake out of 300,000 users we were expecting 200-300 per day to sign up.
-Unfortunately the SLR feature was initially buried on the SMA platform (at initial launch) and so we were only seeing about 10-15 new sign-ups per day.
-More recently, SMA has moved the SLR feature up to the front of their platform and this has led to a substantial increase in the amount of claimants.
-We are now seeing anywhere from 60-200 claimants per day, and best guess is that the average will be about 100-120 new claimants per day. If this rate stays stable (which it has been over the last several weeks), then it puts us on track to add 30-45k new participants to the SLR network per year (and that is without any further marketing).
-This amount of new claimants will help us to make further SLR deals with other monitoring or utility companies.
-In the next couple years, we could potentially have around 70-100k participants.
-SMA is also looking into some other potential uses for solarcoin, but these ideas are still in their early stages and cannot be disclosed yet.

-There are potentially 30 million installations world-wide and growing every year.

-SLR will be presented to an impact investing conference for 300 family offices at the UN headquarters (Sept 5th).

SolarCoin collaboration with the Energy Web Foundation
-Three options:
   1) Keep slr blockchain as-is
   2) Bridge between slr and energy web (hybrid approach, e.g. polkadot network)
   3) Migrate to ERC-20 - one ERC-20 token will be given for one SLR
-SLR burn is still potentially viable, but if SLR does a migration to another chain, then the burn will occur after we figure out what the migration would look like.
-The benefit of migrating to ETH, it will make all the tools, merchants, exchanges infinitely easier for them because they inherit the entire ecosystem of ethereum tools and resources. In other words, it will be much easier to find someone to help with technical lifts and to do integrations. Use cases will emerge much quicker.
   (please post your opinions in the slack about the potential migration to ETH)

-Biggest growth in value is expected to come from bringing on new users (new SLR claimants).

Solarity concept
-The price of SLR at which point solar energy becomes free (when SLR = cost of energy).
-SLR becomes an economic advantage at about 10% of the solarity.

-SLR may raise the threshold for affiliates.
-Affiliates may have to bring in a couple thousand users and/or x-number of MWh of energy.

-There is one solar merchant looking at solarcoin.
-There were talks with a debit card company that can issue SLR debit cards and we plan to circle back with them once we have 20-30k users (maybe in 6 months).
-Right now the focus is just getting more users (which it looks like we will get from SMA).

I had issues with my computer, and lost the roaming folder for my wallet.

Now, the wallet cannot find any connection to the network.

May I get a list of addnodes, please?

About 1,000 new Solarcoin claims added since 11/06/2019!   https://solarcoin.enapter.com/transactions?query=Agrt

Hello,
I am one of them.
I would like to understand how the SLR initial claim amount is calculated.
I have asked for through the contact form on solarcoin.org website and to support (got a ticket number) but I didn't get any feedback.
It seems no one at solarcoin.org is reading members inquiries.
So, may be someone here can help me ?

After registering my solar facility with solarcoin.org I have received the initial Solarcoin grand amount on November, 6th.
This amount is 19.33 SLR.

ID de la transaction: 2497ad8eec74c0a106bdaed1c801022576cb24e31e116d12bc17085739e75839

According to rules stated on solarcoin.org website, it should be as follow :
"The annual calculation is 365 days X 24 hrs X 15% X Your KW Nameplate Capacity/1000. This works out to 1.314 X your installed KW Nameplate Capacity. The initial SolarCoin grant is retroactive to the install date of your facility or Jan 1, 2010; whichever is more recent. Ongoing SLR grants are made every 6 months based the facility install month."

My solar installation nameplate capacity is 2.94 kWc.
The install date is April 6th, 2010. Around 9.6 years ago.
So, according to the formula, initial SLR grant amount should be around :
1.314 x 2.94 x 9.6 = 37.08 SLR
How to explain the huge discrepancy with the SLR amount I have received ?
Thank you.

Hi,

Earlier this year the "retroactive back to Jan 1 2010" was changed to "5 years back rolling", here is one of the announcements (on FB):
https://www.facebook.com/groups/solarcoin/permalink/1189937807873418/
Here is the linked post on Medium:
https://medium.com/solarcoin/claim-your-solarcoin-now-each-day-passing-could-be-a-lost-reward-67b50c8e30a5

I bet if you do the calculation according to this new rule you will get a match to what you received.

The website info has been fixed accordingly ONLY in the FAQ section:
http://solarcoin.wpengine.com/faqs/
"...Earning SolarCoins....
SolarCoins can be granted retroactive to 5 years from the date of the initial claim. If your facility is older than 5 years old, claim now. Each day missed is lost SolarCoin."

But as you correctly noticed, the Claim your SolarCoins section https://solarcoin.org/#claiming has NOT been updated accordingly, which needs to be fixed. Also the SolarCoin Policy Papers  https://solarcoin.org/resources/ have NOT been updated (just checked the one in English), needs to be updated, too.

As you also provided the Transaction comment:
text:AGRT-FR-31530-13699-2.94-7960-04/06/2010-11/01/2019
it appears it has NOT been changed to reflect the new 5 years policy.

Thank you so much for noticing the discrepancy & sharing your findings with so much detail!
In appreciation of your effort I just sent you 100 SLR to your address.

Hello,
Thank you for pointing me out to the new policy. It explains the discrepancy i have spotted.
Now, I understand the calculation.
Thank you also for the 100 SLR gift.

By the way, I would like to join the Slack Solarcoin-group but didn't find any link to register.
Do you know how to proceed ?
Thank you.

Hello,

I have a general question. Does anyone else work at Solarcoin? I have technical problems with my wallet (the blocks are not updated and therefore staking is not possible). I have reinstalled the wallet and also completely reloaded the blockchain. Some days or weeks everything works again, but then the wallet is not updated anymore. There are more and more blocks in backlog. Transfers are working though.

Several requests to the support were not answered. A ticket was created each time, but that was all.

There are also no new messages on the homepage. Is the project dead?

Currently the coins are only tradable on a few exchanges. Is there still hope for improvement here?

The wallet is a little finicky. If you can't get it to synch, locate the solarcoin data folder. %appdata%/solarcoin on windows, or the .solarcoin folder on linux, make a backup of the wallet.dat file and delete everything in the folder except the wallet.dat file. Reload the wallet, and reload the blockchain. It'll take a few minutes, might look like it's frozen but it's working. Also wait until the wallet is done synchronizing before entering your password. Yeah I know, it's clunky and could use a good rework.
