Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future Technologies is poised to transform our lives for better or worse for the focus of this podcast. Almost here

means these technologies are now here and starting to be used. We're just around the

corner. For Bitcoin to Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

Hi this is Richard Jacobs with Future Tech Podcast almost here around the corner technology.

And I have Nick Gogerdy.

Nick's got a couple projects going on.

First, we're going to talk about Solar Coin.

It's a coin that he's helped develop.

And that's the first thing we'll go into Nick how you doing?

I'm fine fine great to talk to Richard yeah so tell the listeners what is solar

coin you know what are the parameters of the token how how does it work? Sure, basically.

At its most basic, the concept is to incentivize solar energy.

And so it works basically like a reward for solar energy producers a little bit like air miles

in the fact that hey if you produce so much solar energy you get one of these tokens,

you get this reward and so you and it's very simple you produce one megawatt hour of

energy you know using your panels you submit some data that you know indicates you did that, which might be a little copy paste from your

inverter or a screen capture or something like that, and then you get your token.

And that's about all that's required. We currently distribute solar coin in 24

countries. Project is two years old. It's designed to last for 40 years. And for those who are familiar with the concept of

alternative currencies a little bit or reward mechanisms, we produced enough of these things to give out for the next 40 years.

And so that's an estimate of how much silver energy production will be. We produced over the next 40 years on the planet.
