There are now 5 community libraries in Kenya where students borrow tablets to use the tutor-web and earn SmileyCoin as they study. Registered students can also receive a small Universal Basic Income in SMLY. They can use these SMLY to either purchase small items like snacks or sanitary pads, but if they work hard they can also buy the tablet for 1 M SMLY.

A total of 9 tablets have been sold in the first 3 months of the project.

Major milestones reached in the Kibera Community Library.

First students have bought their tablets for SMLY and a store in the library sells essentials which the students can buy using SMLY obtained either through studying or as a Universal Basic Income.

  • Can now register UBI projects on-chain: automate UBI in SMLY
  • Web-based wallet greatly improved: https://wallet.smileyco.in/
  • Donations button added to the web-based wallet (also called the HTML5 wallet)
  • Donations are now a one-click operation
  • 5 organisations now accept SMLY donations - up from 2 since November

The CoinLim exchange has died.


This looks very much like an inside job....

We have talked about this for a long time and the time has finally come: SmileyCoin is about to be used for Universal Basic Income.

The first recipient group are students who study in a community library in Kibera, Kenya. Over the next few weeks and months, more community libraries will be added.

The students get registered on UBI lists on the blockchain and become automatic recipients of SMLY.

The point of this is to help the students and the libraries so the students will be able to purchase fruit/protein bars and juice in the libraries and pay for those in SMLY. This is a very low-income region and these students typically receive only one meal per day. These snacks are important just so they can better study in the library.

In addition, if they ace some of the material in the tutor-web system, then they will earn enough SMLY to purchase the library tablet. The Smiley Charity will then replenish the stock of tablets in the library.

Later on we will modify the transaction fees to support this. For now, one of the donation addresses is used for this purpose. To see how this works, check out the address using the block explorer: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/smly/address.dws?BDLAaqqtBNoG9EjbJCeuLSmT5wkdnSB8bc.htm

The p2pb2b pool folks are updating a software module so SMLY deposits and withdrawals are closed for up to 2 days.

your chain is stuck now 26h+

2020-08-01 20:37:09 ERROR: ConnectBlock() : rich address not getting paid correctly

But the pool gets the value from getblocktemplate so whats the deal?

Cheers

Thanks for the note -- working on it.



I've fixed it on pool side.

Thanks, smile on

Thank you!!!

I hope everyone remembers this:

As everyone here knows, SmileyCoin has been used quite a bit for charity and education.

The Smiley Charity and Education in a Suitcase receive SMLY from every generated block, in the form of 10 income streams. We've talked about how to use it: The African Maths Initiative and UNICEF will receive some of it in sub-streams to be set up and automated.

We've also talked about possibly using one stream for Universal Basic Income. This could be really neat, but the problem is that you can't just print money for UBI -- it needs to be a part of a circular economy, something like UBI->purchase->tax->UBI, whatever "tax" means.

The SmileyCoin Fund receives applications for grants in SMLY. One grant has already been accepted: Refilling the tutor-web wallet for rewarding students for their studies.

It is time to consider the next step: Should we try to use (some of) the Transaction Fee to test a UBI economy, possibly supported by one of the 10 income streams?

Proposed implementation: Take a version of the wallet and modify it so that the TxFee is split up and sent to a bunch of UBI recipient addresses. Do this in a few iterations, starting with just a handful of addresses, then move on and have the addresses coded as UBI-addresses into the blockchain. Eventually figure out a registration mechanism.

This is neither a fork nor is it mandatory: It is just a subgroup of people who mine and send the TxFee out as a UBI. But this subgroup will probably insist on fees of at least 1 SMLY per Kb in their blocks and movements using UBI addresses  Smiley

Comments are welcome as always.


The plan is to implement the (optional) TxFee split in the next version of the wallet.

We decided to put this unusual summer of COVID-19 to good use by hiring a lot of people to work on new features for SMLY.

We'll list these features in lots of announcements, but here are a few of the ongoing projects this summer:

  • secure on-chain messages
  • support for generic on-chain services
  • support for secure on-chain voting
  • tests for atomic swaps
  • on-chain DEX
  • on-chain sales of coupons (incl movie tickets)
  • formal on-chain support for universal basic income
  • links to computer games

The CoinLim exchange and the Smiley Charity are supporting a SmileyCoin trading competition on CoinLim.com.

This should be lots of fun. The reward for first place is 64 M SMLY and the total rewards are 128M SMLY.

The competition starts on Monday, June 22nd.

If you want to have some fun and support our work at the same time - or just see how this works - you'll need to register at CoinLim.com.

More on Twitter and Telegram.

I'd like to make a list of active SmileyCoin pools.

So far I know of http://icopool.club/

If you know of others, please let us know...

We will look into this. Thanks for pointing it out.

I looked into this and it was decided to discontinue the coin due to low-quality daemon software.
Oh dear, I am sorry - you got hit by some really bad karma: It was the shitty hash-alllocation scheme of prohashing which forced us to completely change
the mining setup in SmileyCoin in the first place.

It has worked wonderfully until now. Did you check out whether this is the same issue? https://github.com/tutor-web/smileyCoin/issues/23

Quote from: Chris Sokolowski on June 14, 2020, 12:29:47 PM
This lack of testing on the part of the developers is unacceptable.  Real people's livelihoods are at stake here, and that was someone's salary for the day.
I can assure you that the problems with the prohashing hash-alllocation scheme cost us much, much more than a day's work!

But yeah, AFAIK there is only one SMLY mining pool at the moment and any pool owner trying to set up a SMLY pool may indeed find first-time bugs.

The SMLY team has never said that SMLY will work with your pool and we certainly do not accept responsibility for issues which may come up when someone tries to set it up with a new pool.

Quote from: Chris Sokolowski on June 14, 2020, 12:29:47 PM
... and the daemon wasted over $100.
As noted in the previous post, the prohashing profit calculations for SMLY are at least a factor of 10 off. Did you take that into account?

$100 will buy some 3 million SMLY, which is the mining reward for every single block for 7 days of mining. Your claim just does not sound right.

Prohashing (https://prohashing.com) recently added Smileycoin for mining and payouts.

Prohashing seems to assume that the coinbase is the same as the miners' reward, which it is not the case for SmileyCoin. The word "Block reward" is used on your page, and shown as 10 thousand SMLY. But the miners' reward is only 10% of the coinbase.

It may not be as profitable as your calculator implies (apparently still very profitable, just not this much).

A trade competition will be held at CoinLim.

For more information check out the "SmileyCoin Official Group" on Telegram.

SmileyCoin is now listed on CoinLim.

See coinlim.com

This brings us back up to 3 exchanges:
https://p2pb2b.io/
https://www.southxchange.com/
https://www.coinlim.com/

The markets are slightly different, with USD-SMLY on p2pb2b; USDT-SMLY on CoinLim but several markets on southXchange (LTC, DOGE, BTC, USD).
