Need more plp to mine it.
The profitability seems to be bouncing all around, if it was a bit higher than other coins and more stable I could throw 1GHs at it. The bouncing is mainly owed to the random block rewards. Though with a few 100MHs you can make nice profits with TIPS currently. |

I just feel like clearly stating that despite me proposing it, I have nothing at all to do with the recent listing at Novaexchange.
It seems the idea has come from Novaexchange themselves which somehow confirms me in my opinion of them. They seem to have added Slimcoin not because of a listing fee but because they think it is an innovative and honest coin. Though it might have still to early according to Graham.

Your fee is way to low for the size of your transaction AFAICS. It will either get confirmed at some point or removed and you will get your BTC back, no worries. You can check here an estimate on how soon your tx will be confirmed to get a feeling how long it takes: http://mempool.us.to/tx.html |

Graham,
Sorry was not meaning to push things wrt exchanges. I remember you saying along the lines of that you won't be dealing with that so I wanted to offer some help.
I'll wait with it until you think the code has been tested and is matured enough for such a step and that will be based mainly on your word and judgement (read: when you think it is ready for an exchange).
Regarding a busier network, what do you consider exactly busier so that we can help with it: More PoW, PoB, PoS, Nodes, Txs or a certain combination or simply just more of everything?
Cheers - psycodad

Didn't know about Novaexchange, I will check them out. I could donate the 0.005. What's needed for?
0.03 BTC is the price for adding a coin to the vote list, see end of this page: https://novaexchange.com/addcoin/Got it. Imho, there might be a chance that we don't get picked even if we pay the fee, right? If I get that right the fee is refunded (-10%) if a coin is not listed in the end, they say on that page: If we for any reason cannot list your coin the payment will be refunded to your account minus 10%. Since it doesn't seem a listing for voting expires, if only few people vote it will just take longer to get it listed as far as I understand that system. Maybe we should start advocating this before? Like getting the pulse of the community first? If the moderator could put up a poll with just one question: "would you vote daily on novaexchange if we pay the fee?" will be much simpler to find out if there is interest or not.
I was just proposing Novaexchange to gauge the community's interest for trying it. Let's wait and see what others say. |

Good job! It would be nice to know when and if we could exchange these coins. Any news on that bter initiative? Anything we could do in order to make slimcoin accepted in an exchange?
I am not a big fan of Bter. In the past they have made some quite dubious moves, though I am not calling scam on them I just don't feel too comfortable using them anymore. If the community is fine with Novaexchange, I would donate 0.02 of the 0.03 BTC to get Slimcoin listed for voting. Actually I'd be happy to donate the whole amount but I want some kind of confirmation from the community in the form of one or two users contributing 0.005 resp. 0.01 BTC to make sure I am not the only one supporting the idea. Also I would like to ask if you guys would actually go voting on Novaexchange for a week or two when we get it listed for voting? Note: I have no stakes in Novaexchange nor am I affiliated with them in any way, but based on my experiences and impressions they are a decent shop (albeit with small volumes) run by honest people (at least at the moment, but I guess Cryptsy has been a nice honest exchange too at some time in the past so that's all relative..) |

Because there haven't been reports of forks, I believe (haven't checked) that's just standard reporting of the consensus mechanism in action - “INFO: prev block not in main chain” - that's why we see “generated but not accepted” orphan txs in the wallet. A block was minted by burn but someone else had beaten them to it (by as little as a fraction of a second - latency is an important factor in block generation, aiui).
More ways to mint blocks entails more orphans.
Cheers
Graham
Thanks for the explanation, makes sense. On the raspberry I get way more orphans blocks and rejections than on the other machines, which are on a data center. Still didn't finish to load the entire blockchain, I will wait to see if it produces blocks after that, since I get a hashrate of 340, but so far mining with a Raspberry, even Slimcoin, seems educational at most. 340 is not so bad, I get around 500-600 on a single core of my Intel Core2 Quadcore 2.66GHz machines. I run the miner from the OP on ~8-10 cores * for a few hours in the evening/night and already got over 100 POW blocks (though never saw the wallet stake yet and reservebalance is 0, but its only the cmd line wallet and I didn't check if I had a POS block just never seen an amount staking in getinfo). * "nice -n 20" job for my numerous MythTV frontends  |

I have compiled the master branch on Debian Wheezy 64 and Ubuntu 15.10 64 and I am currently (successfully) running: slimcoin-qt on Wheezy 64 slimcoin-qt on Ubuntu Wily Werewolf 64 slimcoind on Wheezy 64 as public node All three have been synched from scratch from the network without problems. The public node's slimcoind getinfo reads as: {

Ok, confused and abused...
Where is the current (official) wallet located?
It's hard to argue what is official in a p2p network. However this thread here is about the fixed TIPS wallet, traded at Novaexchange, that is not vulnerable to selfish mining techniques. You should find the link to the github of the old/original wallet that BTER is still using in one of the older threads OP (i.e. the one you also posted to). HTH |

When I want to create a bootstrap, I start the daemon or wallet with -detachdb, let it synch up, stop and copy away the needed files. I don't know if -detachdb is needed but it sounds like it exists for that purpose. But loading such a bootstrap needs -loadblock as gavrillo77 notes.

Runs okay on Debian Jessie, the app found the network and started synching. I was able to enter help in the console without crashing the app and I let it sync up to block 8000-odd before calling a halt. A couple of things I should continue to point out, just on general principles: 1. The app defaults to reservebalance=1000000 to prevent it from minting before it's fully synced (when syncing from 0) because that can result in a local fork. When the app is fully synced, the reservebalance can be changed or disabled. reservebalance [<reserve> [amount]]
<reserve> is true or false to turn balance reserve on or off.
<amount> is a real and rounded to cent.
Set reserve amount not participating in network protection.
If no parameters provided current setting is printed.
Thanks for the advice, I will change that as soon as I am completely synched and have verified my last block with one of the block explorers. With current speed I should be synched up in only few hours. 2. The Slimcoin-project github repository defaults to the slimcoin branch. The development work has been done in the master branch. In order to use the (pre-release) development code in the master branch, if you git clone https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin.git, you also need to: $ cd slimcoin
$ git checkout master
$ qmake
$ make
Thank you for your kind explanations and instructions, indeed when following above steps and switching to master branch I get completely different binaries which a) do not close when entering help in the debug window and b) also get beyond block 530 when synching. Sorry for not realizing this. When compiled from the right branch, the wallet works just fine (so far) in Wheezy64! At first start I got stuck at block 3038, but reopening the wallet let it synch now without any stops and so far I am at ~37000. Thank you also for your explanation regarding peers/address database, I was overlooking that addr.dat completely but was instead grepping the source for "peers" and didn't obviously find what I was looking for and got curious what kind of magic sauce Slimcoin is using for that purpose  Waiting impatiently now to finish synching and starting to mine a block.

Came across Slimcoin because Graham mentioned the integrated block explorer in another thread on bct, that made me curious and I decided to give it a try. So far I think Slimcoin is pretty unique and its Proof of Burn very interesting. I am runing the QT wallet from https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin on Debian Wheezy (7) 64-bit and I have so far two issues: - Entering "help" in the debug window closes the QT client immediately, without any notice in debug.log - synching is repeatedly stuck after exactly 530 blocks: I deleted everything except wallet.dat and restarted, after a few seconds I am again stuck at exactly block #530. The error is mostly something like ERROR: CheckBlock() : coinbase reward exceeded 153.34 > 50.00These errors repeat since about 30mins and I get no more new blocks on synching even so I have 3-4 connections all the time. Did the same a 3rd time with slimcoind and have the same results, stuck at 530. It seems the coinbase transaction does not match the requirements of the client somehow. I am using the addnodes from OP, and I noticed that Slimcoin does not use a peers.dat for storing peers, how does the Slimecoin client keep peers information between two restarts? Cheers - psycodad |

Sampey, First thanks for the new version, I still take every new version like a gift from you! Would it eventually be possible to make the gray that alternates i.e. in the gain table with white lines a bit lighter. On my screens it is pretty dark and difficult too read, though I like the general idea of alternating background colors a lot:  Thanks in advance for considering. |

Barbeq, I dont think so. Csc mining is not profitable right now. In order to be profitable, we must at least double in price. Miners dont want to loose money. They can currently mine profitable coins and exchange them for CHEAP coins over at cryptopia....
Barbeq is correct, when price spikes happen like the last days, profit pools switch in and raise the hash until either diff raises or price falls again. Most people do not mine for fun only, they want to recover costs. Though 1GHs is barely nothing compared to the scrypt power available today, this could be one small hobby miner alone. |

The guy is legit and this is not just another altcoin. It's just that he doesn't care about marketing.
and doesn't care about the miners obviously, perhaps it's because he's controlling the blocks and/or polo has a play in it.. anyway, no trust left in this coin, I wouldn't waste your time or energy with it. Couldn't agree more, most of the time BTM is mined by assumingly one single entity who is orphanizing all others blocks. If there is really a dev, he is impressively good at ignoring the pathetic state of his coins blockchain that is monopolized by a single selfish miner since months. |

I'll admit that recently (as many people do care about exchanges) I have asked YoBit to list FAIL, but no payment has been made (the want at least 0.1 BTC in order to list a coin), so I'm not sure what will happen.
Maybe you'd have more luck with https://novaexchange.com/ , they seem pretty openminded with regards to fair (or fail-ed, <- pun intended) coins that do not create big volume (yet). I heard of them, but not sure if they're legit. You see, my personal goal is to use more reputable exchanges in order to avoid losses (hacks, disappearances of exchange owners etc..). YoBit for example got me angry just recently and I even opened a scam accusation against them, but I was immediately contacted by our Russian team member and he assured me that they're working on delivering better services. Care to share more experience with nova? We probably share our views of Yobit Novaexchange got hacked before I have used it myself, but as far as I know no customer lost money in that hack and they were open about it. Currently I regularly use the site to trade with very low amounts and I never had any issues, in contrary their withdrawals are among the fastest I have seen compared to other exchanges. When I dealed with them they have always been responsive and compared to Yobit I've never seen one of the wallets/coins I use going maintenance mode... But that's really just my personal experience, YMMV as they say. |
