Hey - nice patches! ;)
Really interesting post!
For what it's worth, I'm not sure if the point of SolarCoin is to be a network trading token like POWR or SNC... although it might be one day if it becomes very popular.
I share your frustration on what seems to be a chicken-and-egg hesitancy on the part of potential adopters. How SLR adoption is significantly ramped-up and gains critical mass for goods and services (as well as being a rewards program) I don't know - just selling a few badges to supporters isn't going to move the needle much!
As a Solar Energy insider, particularly in the community energy space, I see BEC could have a significant advocacy role for SLR, but Community Solar is tiny compared to utility grid scale... for now at least.
How we get those guys (c/f ACWA) on board is key IMHO. If I was Emperor of the World it would be the global reserve currency by now.
But then I read that there will be 50,000 low income homes in Australia supplied with free Tesla solar PV and battery storage and think.... opportunity!
And now I'm going to read your post a few more times to make sure I understand the important issues it raises.
Onwards!
Thanks. Yeah - it's complicated stuff. I try to distill it down as much as possible but it still comes out complicated!
