Not Bitcoin, but about another crypto-currency.

ACWA Power Adopts Blockchain Currency SolarCoin

ACWA Power Adopts Blockchain Currency SolarCoin
January 18, 2018
By Kelvin Ross

Saudi Arabian energy company ACWA Power has started to use a blockchain currency.

ACWA is utilizing SolarCoin, a crypto-currency that is rewarded to generators of solar power. For every 1 MWh of solar, the generator gets one SolarCoin. This means it can be adopted by large utilities like ACWA or a homeowner with a few solar panels on their roof. The only conditions are that the beneficiary owns the solar installation and that it is connected to the grid.

The move makes ACWA the first utility-scale solar generator to adopt SolarCoin. The company’s 50-MW Bokpoort CSP project in South Africa and the 50-MW Karadzhalovo PV plant in Bulgaria are already generating SolarCoins.

Chief executive Paddy Padmanathan said: “We are always looking for ways to adopt new technologies to add value and reduce cost in all that we do. Blockchain technology in our view offers a yet untapped opportunity for the power generation sector.”

Speaking this week at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, he said: “It’s early days, but we are very excited about SolarCoin and we are trying to persuade others to join the bandwagon. We have started to use it and started to spend it.”

Other companies already using SolarCoin are Solar Lux, clean energy firm Dubai Carbon and environmental consultants 5 Capitals.

SolarCoin was set up in 2014 as a reward to solar power producers but more specifically as an incentive to others to get involved in solar generation and drive it to mass adoption.

There is a finite number of SolarCoins — 97.5 billion — and they are only available for 40 years, because this is the period that the company believes will be needed to achieve their target of worldwide utilization.

Also speaking at the World Future Energy Summit was SolarCoin founder Nick Gogerty. He said: “Awarding coins to solar energy producers such as ACWA Power provides an incentive to continue to invest in solar capacity. We hope to see further adoption of SolarCoin in the region, with the aim of building a strong community and spurring a global market for renewable energy investment.”

Thomas Chrometzka, director of Solar Lux, which helps energy companies adopt SolarCoin, said: “SolarCoin is a currency with a purpose. That’s why it is a currency with a soul. You end up with money that represents your values, not your passport.”


I don't know all the details of how it works, etc.. The "currency with a purpose" twist is interesting. Anybody in here that has solar PV panels operating might want to look into it.

Hey, Haggart. I dissagree with you completely. in my personal opinion, bitcoin is the most reliable thing and you are able to make a huge profit from it, but unfortunately, other people might track you if you will be making transaction, that's a disadvantage but where are a lot of bitcoin mixers on the Internet, this is special sites, which will hide your informations from the others. I found a suitable variant on the Internet, for me this is (Link deleted. See below) the best bitcoin crypto mixer[/url] the best bitcoin crypto mixer. I've been using it for 2 weeks and I didn't have any issues with this mixer, it's simple to use so everyone will understand how to use it.

I’m thinking this is a bot. I deleted the link. If the poster wishes he can PM me about reinstating it,

Point of information:

Quote
For fiat, what if someone suddenly decided that the USD had no value and the US government would no longer back it and instead would issue Trump Dollars and back that? All of a sudden, the dollar notes you have would have no value because the government is now backing Trump Dollars. What if someone suddenly decided that the Trump Dollar would also be as valued as Trump Coin and both would have government backing?


This was answered rather early in the nation's history, when it was decided that individual bank issued money was a really bad thing to have run an economy, and that the US Dollar should be our currency.

Everyone balked at the idea, as the USA at that point had very little gold and silver to back it's dollar (this was that long ago).

Then the government said that it would only accept USD for the purposes of collecting taxes. Sure, there was an exemption for Spanish pieces of eight for awhile, but it was US Federal Dollars for taxes. People could use chicken beaks or bitcoins or scraps of bark to pay each other, but Uncle Sam would only take greenbacks.

As a kicker, they made it to where even if one preferred scraps of bark for payment, businesses HAD to take US Dollars (which is why there's that verbiage on every currency bill) as well as chicken beaks.

Soon enough, people got the message from the government after a few tax foreclosures and some people winding up in jail for failure to pay taxes, and the demand to be paid in USD became universal in the country.

We don't really have a fiat currency. No, one can't get gold from the government for a bill, but the government can damned sure take your stuff if you don't have US Dollars. It's all stick, baby, and damned little carrot.

Now we have bots resurrecting ancient threads in addition to people posting inane questions on SimHQ. The world is indeed turned upside down.

Hi! Reading this thread, I understand that you are apparently not a particularly competent person in the field of investment, and in particular cryptocurrency. As a person who has worked for 5 years in the field of stock trading, more specifically in forex, I was very surprised when I switched to cryptocurrency trading. For we have some reasons to buy bitcoin. For example:
1. Investors are increasing their investments in cryptocurrency and especially bitcoin every day.
2. No one can abolish or ban bitcoin. For any electronic restrictions can be easily bypassed.
I hope that I helped you to understand at least a little bit. Good luck!

Send me a PM. Failure to do so will result in you being banned from the site.

I think cryptocurrency is the 21st century version of the "Tulip Craze" from the 17th century.

Crypto-currency is the current "fool's gold" fad where easily manipulated people try to get rich quick so I am not surprised at all that spammers are all over it. PT Barnum was absolutely correct.

Before investing money anywhere, you need to carefully analyze the investment object. Investing in cryptocurrency is a dangerous idea, but thanks to this, you can make good money. I have been trading for more than 5 years, and I have spent a lot of time studying; moreover, I am still learning new things. I recently started using the Spam link deleted because it's a very useful tool for every trader. To earn more, you need to use the best tools.

Do you need to wear a business suit to be a metatrader?

I'm going to take the advice of this first time poster and invest all the money i have been promised to receive (with just a small admin charge) by a Nigerian Prince, Yasser Arrafat's widow, and the 25 US marines who claimed to be the first one in Saddam's hidey-hole who found all the gold there. Taken a while though, but I'm patient.
