Congratulation! SolarCoin community.
Now, SLR just has passed the gravity zone and entered 1$ level successfully.
To the Sun! 

You make a good point. The SLR project seems to be built on a foundation of good will toward men, rather than on scorn toward the oppressors. Nick Gogerty has been especially positive every step of the way and sets a good example for all of us to follow.

Where is your team located btw?

you need solid CPU and some amount of RAM which the Raspb does not have.  No need to torment your little raspi

Looks great, but how do I use it??

It will only get worse and larger swings. To sustain the marketcap of Bitcoin while allowing people to cash out created a crazy disparity of positions where some exit now others must hold long and hedge like mad when the large swing comes along. Funny how it is now at 10K and I wrote this a few days ago. Seems like the profits made from these swings are used to pump the BTC market.

It was great for merchants that accepted Bitcoin initially but those just getting in may hesitate to accept due to their costs of good and profits being eroded in an afternoon possibly. A business can't sustain this volatility unless they can also go long and have the reserves, or they have enough volume at each level to balance out. It is very finicky since you may have more volume at the higher levels than lower also. People hold for profit then spend for leverage.

BTC is now meant for storing value now at $10 per transaction. No way to buy a cup of coffee. So Alts will have their place always...

The MarketCap seems way too high for its useage right now. Can industry use Bitcoin to buy raw materials? I guess they could profit from it and buy sure. But most are locked into distro channels of Fiat. So how is this type of MarketCap even feasible? The Power consumption? ASIC Mining expenditure? Now on the other hand if the powers that be would just place their Bitcoin in a wall on the exchanges at 10K the market could stabilize and PEG. They could swing with inflation or smaller margins to make Bitcoin more like a currency. Then the math is easier too lol. The price could glide up then at a decent tick and mimic an excellent CD. Although this is possibly what is planned for when BTC is at 100K. It is going to be a crazy ride! Lets hope it is SLR powered by then!

It goes so much further too. Just realize the power usage of Bitcoin vs power creation at 98B is staggering! Bitcoin drains power, Solarcoin helps generate power. Bitcoin controls Solarcoin but when Bitcoin becomes too controlled and centralized there are Alt coins ready to take its place. What if all Bitcoin flowed into one alt coin. Would be massive price adjustment. The profit taking would be astounding and could flow back into Bitcoin but if it stabilizes and stays in Solarcoin then it incentivizes Solar and gets people involved in Crypto and can sustain themselves off grid. Just by doing what they would normally do off grid but now linked to the Blockchain through Solarcoin.

If people took all the hardware they purchased to mine Bitcoin and had invested in Solar I think the entire world would be powered by the sun by now. lol

So now realize that the only way to really make money now in Bitcoin is Alt coins and you get in on the ground floor. What are you going to do buy more Bitcoin and wait for it to double? If you just got into Crypto you now are in a precarious position. Buy 1 Bitcoin at $8000 you must sell at $9000 and wait for it to go back to $8000 to rebuy. Then it goes to 10,000 instead. Maybe you held till 10,000. When will you sell? Wait for 20K? How is that going to work out if you just hold on to the coin? Maybe it goes up to a million just don't sell any time soon. But now with Solarcoin you back a network and get the chance to grow exponentially. If every holder of Bitcoin invested they would see how powerful alts can be, then they may not need to go back to Bitcoin.

Hi all,

thanks for your hard work.

I am trying to catch the chain edge on my MAC full node.

I am stuck at block #907999.

I tried: rescan blockchain files --> no change
           then rebuild block index from current blk000???.dat files--> no change

Any ideas from the awesome PIVX community?

Many thanks,

PIVX and SLR to the MOON

in what countries is SLR accepted as utility payment?

Great news!

The coin stayed on the exchange. It doesn't have to go anywhere. If there are only 33 Million coins and someone bought out 15 million they can control their position better.  vipgelsi you own 10 million right, so at least we know where they are.

So now about the so called Dump, it is not a dump in this case. Think about it. Why would you buy high and sell low. Most of those trades are from the bots taking profit and resetting the price to normalize and encourage selling. The buy side will dry up again down to 7 bitcoin and then boost 100's of Bitcoin volume again. Just watch. They don't want to buy high and sell low. The buyers had to move up and drop down so that they can get an even better position later. The coin would not drop down if they bought their own coin from the exchange, that is a true pump. Then it stays because they own the Bitcoin they just sold and buy out other people positions on the way up. Then they can sustain against sells since they own the other positions.

The Attrition that has been happening also made that higher price paid for SLR not that big of a deal. So now when it moves up next time there will be less coin to crush their reserves of Bitcoin, and you will also see small wallets holding and big wallets selling during the run up. They can sustain a higher market cap and hold back their SLR in reserve. It makes the supply smaller and leverages their positions if they don't sell or dump as people think will happen. That is why you see them pull back and stop buying, so not a dump just a large supply of coin to capture and they are taking advantage of it at lower prices. So don't sell to them! LOL take your coin off the market and let them pump it. Seriously then you only sell when you need liquidity and they may provide that for you. But by then they will have a reason to Buy SLR meaning they have a glut of Older Solar Panels sitting on shelves in warehouses. And think about the people who get this deal, later they will come back and buy the latest Solar Panel from this company as it leveraged them into SLR which went to $30 a coin and also saved them money on their utility. Also think about the people who got Bitcoin for the SLR on the way up now can cash out and pay the difference the Company with the Glut of Solar Panels asks for the older panels. This is what they would normally get if they recycled the panels and the costs of goods like Labor and electricity to make the panels. That is where things get really good, it becomes a self sustaining market since people get something of value in all aspects.

I hope this is what is happening!

thanks
