And again - Bitcoin goes UP from 1650 to 1700+ and another SLR DUMP (~70 000 Solarcoins) on Bittrex for fuck sake - this is every time BTC goes up - a guy keeps solarcoin at ~0.12 $ and thats it... It's getting boring - someone may say we are stable - well if we measure the price in USD yea ofc, but I measure it in BTC and so far we are going down every time BTC rises, because of that same guy who dumps... This is ridiculous Angry

I think it might be a good idea to get more information onto this thread. I hold several coins that interest me, when i'm looking at new oportunities to invest I will generally visit the website and then have a look on bitcointalk and check out the activity there. For SLR - there is a lot going on on the slack, but its tumbleweeds on bitcointalk, no postings from anyone for days at a time. It gives the impression that there is no activity, no development, no progress. (why I have been posting chunks from the slack here)
If people get this impression then they dont invest and hold and if they are a holder they will just dump it and use the BTC to try to get a better retun on their investment.

There are very few coins that are now still in existance from January 2014 (when SLR launched) I have seen hundreds of crappy ideas and coins come and go . In that time, SLR has grown from under 500 satoshi to over 8000 and I firmly believe that the price (and the value) will continue to steadily increase.

Nick what would a low to high end estimate of network growth be for 2017 for Slr

tough to say, but I am personally targetting 20-50k users. that means we need to get infront of 200-300k. with a 3-6 months sales cycle that means hitting it hard after copay is out. we have one 200k platform working on an NDA and @francois probably has 50 monitoring companies in his back pocket that range from thousands to 10's of thousands. We have contacts at solarcity etc. but haven't reached out yet as our UX is sub-par for their customers. with Copay and web wallet, I think that is largely solved. This doesn't include proof concept stuff like solarchange is working on in Cyprus and attempts to reach out to enphase's enlighten platform. If people have platforms we should target let us know. We also have people in China and other areas wanting to sign up as affiliate so I personally think its more a matter of when than if we reach 20-50k and then.....more. there are 7m estimated solar producing facilities out there growing 30-40% annually."

I havent yet read Nick Gogerty book - 'The Nature of Value' https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Nature-Value-Adaptive-Economy-Columbia-Business-Publishing/0231162448 as I think it might just sit on the shelf next to Steven Hawkins 'a breif history of time'! but from my johnny-punch-clock perspective it would surely benefit SLR if it had a 'current value' of $0.50 rather than a few cents when approaching these huge solar companies ? Discuss :-)
