RE: A Vision for SolarCoin
A real problem for energy trading coins is a lack of block-chain compatible and secure metering equipment, manually loading meter readings is not scalable and the potential for fraud is huge.
Agree. Some serious weight lifting is required to develop a solution for this. Any leads @scalextrix? e.g. people making good progress on this front
I think PowerLedger listed Landis+Gyr as a partner so perhaps they have a concept (please confirm DYOR).
In the ElectriCChain community we have some people with ideas about how secure block-chain compatible metering can be achieved. I think its not so much that part thats the issue, its about how you get meter manufacturers to understand block-chain, and how you get utility companies to retrofit meter devices, when in many developed nations they are still rolling out phase 1 smart meters.
Thanks @scalextrix. I have had an 8-year career in renewable energy here in Malaysia; and would love to be part of this conversation. Is it an open community? Can u introduce me in please?
Yes its all open, if you look on https://solarcoin.org/en/solarcoin-forum to join the SolarCoin slack, TBH most liveley conversation happens there. You can also find the link to join the ElectriCChain specific slack http://www.electricchain.org/electricchain/community/
