You can tip in the trollbox using SMLY, and it's been done a few times -- do you mean something else?

And yes, Education in a suitcase/tutor-web accepts cryptocurrency donations :-)
Bitcoin donations: You can donate bitcoin to the tutor-web project by sending to the BTC wallet 1Prdx9EQmgptUh8GVFPvNCufwrCkDvoCU8
Dogecoin donations: You can donate bitcoin to the tutor-web project by sending to the DOGE wallet DQqfSLHKyVUM3JNry2nPr8hnguWTpfP5pn
Auroracoin donations: You can donate auroracoins to the tutor-web project by sending them to the AUR wallet ATKsWSW9n9S3aJZkbDFcVqzWi7eM8sG68Z
Smileycoin donations: You can donate smileycoin to the tutor-web project by  sending to the SMLY wallet BGs1L33mgDz8mUAE5h3bgmuo7s9r5Et8ne

We've said all along that the SMLY is for rewarding students in the tutor-web system and we are particularly interested in getting this to low-income areas.

Next step: Get the tutor-web and SMLY on tablets into a Kenyan high school!

Not particularly impressive, I know, but here is a QR-code for the Android wallet:

You know what would be really cool: Get a base market using SMLY. That would mean a full market where every coin can be traded against SMLY. Now cryptopia has BTC, LTC, DOGE, DOT etc , total of 7 markets.

It's not free: It costs 2.2 BTC ...

SMLY can now be used for tipping at cryptopia.

There is now a Smileybubble game in the Google Playstore, where you can spend your SMLY to buy features.

This is intended mostly as an example of how easy it is to accept SMLY in a computer game. The game simply talks to the SMLY wallet on the phone. Cool stuff!

As you will have noticed, SMLY is traded at a fairly low exchange rate. This causes problems in a BTC-SMLY market. In effect, it is much better to trade SMLY in something like a DOGE-SMLY market. The problem with the DOGE-SMLY market on c-cex is that it does not count towards volume. For this reason volume has been cronically low on c-cex and we have been threatened several times to be thrown out of the exchange.

On the other hand, on cryptopia we are simply not registered on the BTC base market. This is perfect for the SMLY since the main market on cryptopia for SMLY  is now the DOGE-SMLY market.

A DOGE-SMLY market can easily handle any dumps by miners and a more orderly development of the spread, since it allows much better granularity in the price.

It will be interesting to see how the DOGE-SMLY markets develop on these two exchanges.

Deposits to cryptopia seem to be fine now.

Has anyone had any luck with depositing SMLY into cryptopia?

It's almost as if that wallet doesn't see incoming coins.

Perfect. Thank you all!

Hi shotgun
Thanks for informing us. Of course there is no real hurry - I was just wondering whether there was a problem.
Yes the SMLY difficulty has been bouncing around a bit too much.
In terms of coffee, we're thinking we'll just have the cashier see the student press the "Send" button and then not worry about it.
This is the method used in a bitcoin pub I know of -- the individual numbers are sufficiently low not to have much of an effect on anything.
There will be a separate tally of coffee cups anyway, since this is an experiment.
But yes, buying a coffee card would also be an idea.

Yes, I've just sent them a polite question...

Good news: We will have the first experimental run of students getting to use SMLY buy cups of coffee on the University of Iceland campus. This will be a one-month test case, in November 2015.

University officials are sufficiently interested that they will help us by subsidising the coffee in this first round.

We're planning to simply install an Android tablet running a wallet right beside the till. If anyone with more experience can tell us about pitfalls in similar experiments please let us know :-)

Yes - good idea - sounds like fun - let's get them to include the SMLY for tips.

Maybe wait for them to get the SMLY wallet up and running? :-)

OK, I've been scanning but can't find an explanation of how any of this works -- do you have links?

How do the tips work?
Where/how do we ask/pay for enabling SMLY tipping?

Congratulations everyone: We just got voted into cryptopia :-)

11 minutes. Doesn't look like there is any movement, but it was right at the last moment last week.

The GPU is much, much faster for Scrypt.

BTW The difficulty is all over the place, ranging from 2 to 80 and back to 10 over a few days. Basically, your coins from mining will vary considerably :-)
 
(So, yes, Scrypt was invented to counteract the dedicated Bitcoin ASICs but it's still much faster on the GPU -- and there are several Scrypt ASICs on the market now)

That looks exactly like the option list we have been using for hashlink. Are you able to mine other scrypt coins with this binary?
