Warren Buffett — 'Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful'

There are currently around 13,000 solar power producers actively getting ongoing SolarCoin grants. Combine that with the people who are still a part of the SLR community, but haven't invested in solar power yet. The community is likely around 15,000 strong = NOT dead project.

The leaders are still active in the slack. Discussions are still underway regarding where SLR will head in the future. Still an option to migrate to Ethereum. Still an option to do 90% coin burn. And solar energy is still the promising energy of the future.

539 new claimants in July.
417 new claimants in August.

Project continuing to grow. Hopefully the migration to Ethereum will happen in the near future. From my understanding, they are atill considering a coin burn of 90% of the offline coins.

To be more exact:

2,357 new claimants May 1st!!!

404 new SLR claimants just today - https://solarcoin.enapter.com/transactions?page=9&query=aagr

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).

Over 1100 new claimants since August 19th!

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.
