BTW. - can anybody tell me how is this possible - number of nodes are at the stable rate or decreasing, but instead hashpower is increasing? Wtf? I mean you have to have full node, to do mining as far as I'm concerned, because there aren't any pools for now, and GPU miner at least for me wasn't working properly? So, how is this even possible? Somebody has created a new gpu miner or have that one worked correctly?
You only need one node to mine with many CPUs, even without pool. I don't mine PoW on SLM anymore, but I had 5x 4-core CPUs mining against one node. I used one of the cpuminers on the OP but I can't exactly remember which. HTH How? Mining to one wallet? Becaue even if I was mining to one wallet.dat it was more nodes than one if I mined with more cpus. Or you mean that they have motherboard with more than one CPU? Simply by running all cpuminers against one nodes rpc interface. Don't confuse the wallet miner with the separate cpuminers from OP (check under Slimminer Downloads). The miners are then started with something like this: nice -n 20 /usr/local/sbin/slimminerd -o http://my.slm.node:41683 -u slimcoinrpc -p rpcpassword -S -q -B -t 4 |

I tried to withdraw money to this address.
0x26390f11eea8f3d614dbb27de0ee14aaba82e370
Novaexchange says that address is invalid. Why?
Because Novaexchange runs the old chain and also says so wherever the coin is listed on their site:  |

I'd recommend you to buy a few SLM on an exchange to further explore the fun of staking and burning SLM which seems currently more rewarding in terms of coins earned.
What does staking and burning do exactly that could earn more coins? Please note that I said "seems", that statement of mine is purely based on anecdotal evidence from my own experience and what others posted here in the thread. I just meant that if you're impatiently waiting to see a block minted by and to your wallet, you'd have probably a faster success by investing $5-10 in SLM, burn 10-20% and let the rest stake in your wallet. But for sure you can also keep your computer running and mining and with some luck you'll get a block within the next 24 hours. |

How do I know my mining attempts will get rewarded?
I see blocks get mined (i.e. it was on 1047677 and now 1047678) but I don't receive anything.
You never know, while your hashrate suggests you should be finding a block something like every 1000 POW blocks, it can happen in the next minute or never. Over the longer run, the percentage of found block solutions should get close to network hashrate / your hashrate. Do I receive the coins randomly or do I have to have the best hashrate or something else?
Your miner has to find a block solution, then you will get the coinbase transaction to your wallet (new coins). Simply put, you are rolling 1058 dice a second with a chance to get the right magic number that makes it a block solution, while the rest of the network rolls 1188680 dice a second. People call what you do solo mining, in contrast to pool mining (which is not possible yet for SLM) where many small miners group together and share their block rewards according to the hashing power they contributed. You probably had pool mining on your mind with your question. I'd recommend you to buy a few SLM on an exchange to further explore the fun of staking and burning SLM which seems currently more rewarding in terms of coins earned. HTH |

Client is reporting this:
"errors" : "URGENT: Alert key compromised, upgrade required"
This is hardcoded into the source, but I can't figure out exactly what triggers it. What's going on?
As far as I understand the alert system, one of the owners of the alert key have disabled the alert system by sending out this specific alert that can't be overriden, cancelled and never expires. Perhaps the owner of the alert key just wanted to free himself from some responsibility or he/she wanted to go the way of Bitcoin which obviously disabled the alert system the same way recently: https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2016-11-01-alert-retirementHTH |

Public acceptance in Switzerland seems higher than elsewhere. While you still can't live from Bitcoin (paying for all commodities etc), you can buy a lot of stuff with it and the number of shops and services accepting cryptos keeps growing on a daily base.
The high tx-fees slowed acceptance of BTC specifically recently, but it looks like this is going to be less of a problem in the future and a lot of shops are starting to accept LTC too which doesn't suffer from these problems.
The Swiss government seems to think that Cryptos are going to be a good gap filler and tax creator in spite of the dwindling conventional banking business.
In short, Switzerlands probably wants to be a cryptocurrency haven and it makes some progress but IMHO is still far away from being it.

DOT Holders be aware that Cryptopia has set the confirmations on deposit for DOT to 5000 (!). Deposit early enough, it takes several days to get it confirmed on your balance.

Is there a place to swap or sell old coins? Still have millions of them.
Old coins from before the fork last year are valid on both chains. You should be able to sell them on Novaexchange or Coinexchange. Just use the new sources (from this thread) with a copy of your original wallet.dat. HTH |

Is the FRK wallet still in maintenance on yobit?
Just taken a minute ago:  |

14 Connections  This is pre node setting up. and pretty impressive. True, but still 0 working exchanges. Yobit keeps the wallet in maintenance since months. |

I know you guys are not currently looking for new graphics, but I really liked what psycomum came up with when she saw the Slimcoin splash on my screen and I thought I'd post it anyway for your entertainment and as tribute to the fabulous Slimcoin: Cheers - psycodad |

I'm going on testing the Windows Slimcoin Wallet.
I burned a quantity of coins yesterday and let my computer on for the night.
Today when I looked in it there was some new coin minted and a Windows OS message, I suppose, that Slimcoin Wallet was stuck.
I closed the Wallet and tried to relaunch it several times, waiting dozens of minutes as well, but it was stuck on the logo image.
I tried also to use the earlier "stable" version 0.3, with the same result.
Any suggestion?
I have seen this with fully synched SLM wallets too, just make sure to wait long enough, the blockchain is quite long already. I believe it is just veryfying the blockchain on disk and that can take a lot of time. While you only have the splash screen with the logo, check if your cpu and disk are active. Let it hum along as long as there is activity and be patient, say at least ~20-30min depending on your computers speed. Try to check the debug.log in the coins folder (should be at the same place where the wallet.dat and other files are, I think Graham mentionned the locations on windows in an earlier post) it should report some progress. HTH Thank you for your answer, now it's working. What does it mean decayed coins? It's a bad thing? I already have them, but no SLM was generated yet. Nice to hear! As far as I understand it, decayed coins are burnt coins that will no longer be eligible for PoB minting, in fact these seem truely burnt. Still as far as my understanding goes, the total burnt amount - the decayed amount is the amount of coins that is currently actively trying to mint a PoB block. Please correct me if I am wrong with my assumptions. What I personally wonder is, if it makes a difference if I burn 10x100 coins in i.e. 10 subsequent blocks or 1000 in one single block ? |

Yes, they run the wallet from OP, only bter is insisting on the old chain. But to be on the safe side, send a small deposit first to reassure yourself. |

No synchronization, what working node please.
Try these for a start: addnode=158.69.27.82
addnode=81.21.164.231
addnode=73.211.90.130
addnode=84.242.139.4
addnode=77.67.46.103

Is anybody else having problems to log into their bitmain account?
I am getting repeatedly errors from their website when trying to login. Something along the lines of 'passport.bitmain.com' not answering.
Just wondering if this is a problem on my end.

post here if any other suitable exchnages that add free or very cheap
I use Novaexchange a lot and am happy so far. Seems like a good home for smaller coins. Adding a coin for voting is 0.04BTC right now: https://novaexchange.com/addcoin/ (need to be logged in to see the price) Coinexchange.io is another possibility. Have not as much experience there as with Novacoin, but it seems legit too but I have no clue what they ask for adding a coin. IMHO every exchange is better than wallet-maintenance-while-we-pump-yobit. Almost every coin I checked that is alive on other exchanges is on maintenance there since weeks or even months. |
