Yeah, I was asking the same questions as you in my previous posts above, with no answer. So I've decided to at least stop mining at MPH for now and redirect my miners to coinmine.pw until MPH credits our coins for the last several weeks.

Hahaha You've made my day! Thank you

Great! I've pointed miners there, too. And, no, I don't think the server is there - I guess the tiny island residents are just selling the .pw domain names . A whois lookup reveals a Czech registrant for the coinmine.pw domain name.

Hi
This is miningpoolhub.

I was so busy last few days and didn't know about the problem at solarcoin pool.
There was some stuck on payout script and it just made things stop since March 16. (about a week ago)

Mining was all going right, but only the payout and block update was stopped.
Sorry for this situation. I didn't even notice this until I see the tweet about it.

Script is running again and your SLR will be paid out shortly.
(It takes time because about a week of work is piled up to be processed)

Sorry again.

Script was stuck at March 16 and it is stopped about a week though.
It is running again.

Sorry

Thanks for that. I have cashed out on the other one and switched back to MPH basically because I am used to it.

I am not sure where Solarcoin is going. I don't know what is happening to earlier plans for it. As I wrote earlier, I thought that it was to stop being mineable in November last year, but it doesn't seem to have happened yet. The supplier of my PV panels doesn't seem interested in promoting Solarcoin to its customers, and presumably other suppliers aren't either.

Just in case you missed latest update from Nick:

Of course we are expecting info on the current state of development and if any beta testing help is needed.

The following article suggests that it is more likely that SLR claimants will eventually prompt PV suppliers to start accepting SLR as a form of payment or for discounts:

Solarcoin pool is calculating shares at block height 554664 currently.
It needs some more time to reach block height 567536, which is the latest block it found before the starting of share calculation.

Yeah, it will start to add/update new blocks found after 567536 block and it will calculate again.
Each block calculation takes about few seconds for each blocks.

You can trace where block caculation is going on by seeking from solarcoin blocks page.

Change the height value of above link url and you will find somewhere green graph is catching up one by one.

It's not an important announce, I just wanted to tell everyone the current status


Thanks for mining.

Wonderful! Thanks!
