Out of curiosity, what ever happened with the online tutoring endeavor that was planned with this coin?
The tutor-web project is alive and well. Earlier in this thread you will find an ad for an open course, Computing and Calculus for Applied Statistics. This course has been ongoing this semester and the is almost complete. It is basically a self-study course advertised on twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, email lists and here. Not many students but we have active students from Kenya, Ghana, Norway, Iceland and the US. Another course in applied stats with over 200 students is currently using the tutor-web. Instructors in several other courses use the tutor-web in one way or another. These include remedial courses in South Africa and math in Kenya. In all cases the students get SMLY as rewards. We've been experimenting with different rewards, to date all based on one SMLY for minimal achievement, more for excellence in a lecture and a whole lot for acing a tutorial of many lectures. Usually we make sure it is easy to get past the minimum but extremely difficult to ace a complete tutorial, so we've been offering 1 million SMLY for getting there. It's still early days. Right now we mainly need more ways to use the SMLY so students see a reason to earn them. |

It seems to be back up, but yes we do need another pool. |
|
|
|

Can you add SMLY to the list of coins to vote for?

Does anyone know what is going on with the pool at http://smly.hashlink.eu/: We are currently not accepting new user registrations.  Seems to have been a minor bug -- the pool registration is back up! |

SMLY is now listed on the askcoin.net exchange.

From here the pool seems to be up and running (now). Yes I was seeing some workers on pool stats but my miner don't want to connect any of the ports - US or EU at any diff. ...maybe it has some problems with asic scrypt miners or NOMP doesn't work well (if it is a NOMP pool after all) Hmm. I can (re-)connect miners with no apparent problem, but notably I only have access to GPU miners. Sorry - can't see a problem from my side... I think it will be good to contact OCMiner from suprnova.cc pools he knows how to setup a good pool. https://twitter.com/SuprnovaPoolsOK, thanks. I've just contacted them - we'll see. |

Thanks for adding the SMLY.
If I am reading the footnotes correctly, it should have two asterisks: It is being actively mined, but it has a significant premine.
|
|

|
|
I should add that we are registered on two exchanges, coins-e and c-cex. We're still up for voting on askcoin, but not quite there yet.

@gstefans - any development news ?
This is what is going on at the moment: We're testing the coin in a real course (two, actually) and it'll be interesting to see how that pans out. Everyone seems to agree that Bitcoin is becoming useful and interesting as a direct result of actual use, not just because it is a cool idea or because of speculation. Similarly, the main cause of failure in the AUR experiment was probably a lack of applications. In that scenario there is only a supply but no real demand and this can only lead to a dump towards zero value. The same applies to the SMLY: The initial mining led to a dump and there is no demand (to speak of) for the coin, but a constant supply of new coins through mining (and later through educational rewards). The next step is therefore to find some actual applications and we would love some feedback from you folks. Since the SMLY is used to reward students, it should be possible to use these wherever stores or companies are willing to give students a discount. We are thinking about things like the following: - Discounts in campus bookstores, coffe shops
- Swap SMLY for points at selected airlines
- Use SMLY as a currency in a computer game
- Buy or get discounts for on-line books
- Buy or get serious discounts on used PCs being sold from campus computer labs
A slightly different way is to approach stores with discounts for certain card holders or club members to either - give 20% discount to students who can pay e.g. 1 million SMLY
- take SMLY directly as payments, corresponding to an hourly rate for student's work (not the exchange rate)
Some of these are just ideas; others are being investigated through formal cooperation with other groups and research grant proposals. We're also looking for cooperation with economists and industrial engineers who can use the SMLY in their classes. For example an econ instructor can set up a class project to find ways to implement SMLY in different ways or an industrial engineer can ask his class to optimise how to buy or sell SMLY at exchanges or provide liquidity. One of these is already underway. |

The lifeforce pool has been experiencing problems with their SMLY wallet and has now closed for SMLY mining.
For pooled mining use stratum-eu1.hashlink.eu:3045

Which coin are you waiting on?
I'm waiting for the SMLY :-) I'm hoping I filled in the forms correctly? |

Updated, thanks. Magi m7m algo is the latest on the coinmarketcap right?
As long as cryptoid has the update it should be the latest. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xmg/Thanks for adding the CLAM marketcap to your site. I have a list of historical moneysupply amounts if you want to go back and add them. If so, how far apart do you want the samples? Every hour, every block, or what? Alternatively, you can grab them from the blockchain yourself, like this, to get the supply as of block 100k for example: $ clamd getblock $(clamd getblockhash 100000) | grep supply
"moneysupply" : 14801149.19280093,
"digsupply" : 62721.70172306,
"stakesupply" : 26747.78872897,
"activesupply" : 89469.49045203,
'activesupply' is the amount available (it's the sum of dig + stake) and 'moneysupply' is the total theoretically available at that point in time. Would you be able to convert the block values to dates? One day apart would be sufficient. This is my favourite web page.
How long does it usually take for a new coin to be added? (I've filled in the forms etc)

CCAS: An open course on Computing and Calculus for Applied Statistics will start next week, Jan 12, 2015. This course is intended to give students a useful background in math and computing, for using and studying applied statistics. This will be the first full course to use SMLY for rewards. See http://bit.ly/tw-ccas

Everyone reading this thread should know that the primary purpose of the SMLY is as a reward in the tutor-web.net educational system and the premine was for that purpose. See tutor-web.info for more info. The development of tutor-web content and drills in 2014 included new grading schemes, the SMLY cryptocurrency rewards, timeout features etc. See a blog at http://bit.ly/1AlmJdM The tutor-web rewards need some further thought: We had initially talked about "small" rewards for minimal performance, "high" for good performance and "very high" for exceptional performance. The thinking at the time was to use 1, 10 and 100 SMLY or 1, 100 and 1000 for each of those. This has only been tested in a single class during the pre-mine phase so we do not have any experience - nor does anyone else:-) But we are now leaning towards thinking about the entire educational reward system in a way similar to the block rewards for mining. The total number of coins will be 50 billion, 50% for each type of rewards. The block rewards are set to be 12.5 billion over the first 7 years and then go down by 50% every 7-year period. If we do the same for the educational rewards, then we will see the same annual totals and we can simply replace the 1, 10 and 100 by numbers which will become approximately 12.5 billion over the first 7 years. The thing is that this will probably imply that the rewards for excellence can be about 1 million SMLY, a fun number though it is worth less than $1 as of today. Thus we can expand enormously the difference between mediocre performance and excellence in an attempt to really pull the students towards working harder. I'd like your feedback on this idea, which I will also put as an update into our mission statement on tutor-web.info. (yeah, there are all sorts of things to think about in terms of implementation to reduce the chances of cheating, easy money etc etc - we do our best and I'll try to document the details as we go) |
