SolarCoin Takes the Leap: The First Cryptocurrency Wallet in Space

Estimated read time 2 min read

Cryptocurrency Meets Space Exploration

In a groundbreaking endeavor that seems to blend science fiction with financial innovation, the SolarCoin Foundation (SCF) is embarking on a mission to launch what it claims will be the world’s first cryptocurrency wallet in space. By utilizing orbital storage on SpaceBelt, SCF aims to create an exceptionally secure environment for tracking solar power transactions through the integration of blockchain technology.

A Logical Explanation: Cold Storage Among the Stars

With grand plans for a 40-year initiative, SCF’s cold storage strategy is as intriguing as a plot twist in a Hollywood space opera. The key idea? To leverage the extra-territoriality of space to achieve “off-line” wallets that will be physically separated from the internet – think of it as a cosmic vault to keep SolarCoin safe from prying eyes.

  • Logical Gap: These wallets will employ non-TCP/IP protocols to ensure that they remain untouched by the internet.
  • Physical Separation: Various locations in space will serve as exclusive fixed points for data retrieval.

SolarCoin: A Token of Appreciation for Solar Energy Producers

SolarCoin is no ordinary cryptocurrency; it serves as a reward for verified solar energy producers at a rate of 1 SLR for every megawatt-hour (MWh) generated. Despite being unavailable to certain sanctioned individuals or states, SolarCoin encourages renewable energy production by converting these rewards into Bitcoin. And it gets better! These Bitcoins are recognized as currency in 23 countries, expanding the utility of SolarCoin across borders.

Verification: The Key to Accessing SolarCoin

To unlock the benefits of SolarCoin, solar energy producers must undergo a verification process that can involve both traditional and digital means. The size of the installation and the claimed energy amounts dictate the verification method.

  1. For producers/owners of facilities larger than 20KW, a small fee is charged.
  2. Verified producers can exchange their SolarCoin rewards for Bitcoin, which can then be spent like cash.

Looking to the Future: An Orbital Launch by 2018

As the countdown to the anticipated launch date approaches (rumored to be by the end of 2018), excitement stirs among enthusiasts of both cryptocurrency and green energy. Imagine a world where your sun-powered home not only cuts energy bills but also lines your digital wallet to infinity and beyond!

“Our initiative represents a tremendous leap for the fusion of renewable energy with cutting-edge technology,” states Nick Gogerty, SCF founder.
