If you all want to see Solarcoin reach at least $1 there is a simple way to do it. It requires you actually believe in the goal of the Solarcoin project and it requires you to not care about anything other than to promote and support the $1 price.
Here is all supporters have to do, buy as many Solarcoins as you can and then make a pact with other supporters to never sell it for less than $1. It's that simple. Also encourage speculators to dump so the SLRs end up in the right hands. If a few big holders simply refuse to sell SLRs then you solve the problem. The other solution is don't put SLR on the centralized exchanges like Poloniex. These exchanges will acquire a lot of SLR from trading activities and then continuously dump SLR to suppress the price.
Approach decentralized exchanges or very serious secure wallet companies like Coinbase. You do not want margin traders you want people who actually buy SLR to spend it on products which give a discount to SLR. Treat the SLR holder like royalty.
