Re: [ANN][SLR] SolarCoin | PoW to PoS v. 2.0 | Solar Proof of Generation (§1 = 1MWh)
Yes, yes, that's all well and good. Nevertheless, a good explanation doesn't do a damned thing about the problem. Someone on the dev team needs to contact this guy and has needed to do so since April. The fact that no one has makes me go from 'hopeful' to 'extremely dubious'. Do you understand? It's not the claim that bugs me, per se, but the fact that this has just been sitting out therefor MONTHS and no one has done a damned thing about it.
I _was_ extremely positive about this coin. Seeing that claim made me think about getting out entirely. Hearing that it's an old, unadressed claim makes me DEFINITELY want to get out as soon as I can.

I wasn't aware of this, neither was anyone else on the team to my knowledge. It is a case of SWIWOTI.
I sent an e-mail this evening hoping to fix it. Hope it works.:
Christian,
hello. I recently had a member of the solarcoin forum indicate that Cryptocoin charts indicates, solarcoin is a scamcoin due to the marketcap presentation.
Our market cap as seen on coinmarketcap is based on currently circulating coins around 33.5million. there is a large 99% pre-mine which is in cold storage shown on our block-exploerer http://blockexplorer.solarcoin.org/ .
Solarcoin is given to solar energy generators at the rate of §1 per 1 MWh of verified solar energy production. 5% of the circulating coins are held in a genesis pool for incenting founders, bounties and marketing. To date none of the genesis pool has been distributed. So far Solarcon have been distributed to solar energy generators in 15 countries. The rest of circulating coins have been mined in traditional proof of work methods.
The coin is closing in on its 1 yr anniversary. Would you consider changing the message associated with the coin? We are working on locking up the large pre-mine algorithmically in 2015. The Coin is meant as a solar energy incentive to be given out to solar energy generators over the next 40 years. It has been written up in 23 countries and by sites including, Coindesk, Scientific American and the New Scientist among others.
We strive to be as transparent as possible and welcome questions.

Nick

+2(8^8) Which happens to be roughly the amount of solarcoin in circulation right now.
I guess you could say, the numbers add up for this coin.
