BTW we should be able to join poloneix -- any advice on this?

We seem to have a number of miners - nice! As a result, the difficulty is going up quite fast so a pool would be nice to have fairly soon.

But since we have this much interest, we also need a place for you miners to sell coins. If you can recommend an exchange to approach first then that would be really useful.

Hi

We've been checking with a few but not had any responses yet.

Do you folks have suggestions? Some of the exchanges seem to have fairly difficult and/or expensive entry protocols.

We've been using 14242.

If you're GPU mining on the same machine as your server then you should be able to use something like -o http://127.0.0.1:14242

It is still at a fairly low difficulty so it can be solo mined.

SMLY is now available for mining and general use.

For information see http://tutor-web.info/smileycoin

For source code see https://github.com/tutor-web/smileyCoin.git

For wallets (and source code directions) see http://tutor-web.info/smileycoin/download

All the information needed should be in the listed project link.

You will see in the previous post that our primary purpose is not gambling, pumping, dumping or personal gain but education.

We would like to have a wide network of miners to obtain a stable network. But quite frankly it is quite unlikely that anyone will make a lot of real money on mining a coin intended for education. You really should be interested in education to participate in this project (and willing to follow the link).

Remember that the primary purpose of this coin is to reward students. So if all you have are 100 students and toss them an occasional SMLY, you do not need many of them. But in that case the project could equally well just buy some TIPS and use them for the same purpose.

It only becomes interesting when you have thousands of students and want to reward them using 1-100 SMLY depending on their performance. Right now we have about 1000 student users of the system per year, but looking to the future we need to accommodate MOOCs with 100 000 students.

Like any cryptocurrency this is scaleable so we could either go with fewer SMLY and scale down, giving 0.1 SMLY for minimal performance etc, or we could choose to have a larger coin base. We chose the latter.

We are currently thinking in terms of 1-100 SMLY for rewards, usually about 10 SMLY for doing working set of drill questions correctly, which may commonly be about 30 minutes of work. You may want to think about this in the context of a block reward of 10 000 SMLY, with one block coming out every 3 minutes.

Well, I am pretty new to this, but the intent was to provide a pre-announcement since we are not opening the coin to mining until tomorrow.

We have been using http://tutor-web.info/smileycoin as our main info page. If there is a lot of info missing, then I would like to know what it is.

Sorry to hear that.

Thank you!

The SmileyCoin, SMLY

• is used for rewarding students for their performance in the SmileyTutor learning environment
• forms 10 income streams for charities - payments from every block to the SmileyCharity
   
• automatically pays dividends to those who hold 25M SMLY in one address - rotating payments from every block
• forms the SmileyCoin Fund, to support edTech and related activities - funding decisions taken by a formal Board

The tutor-web system is a completely open and freely accessible educational system, with an emphasis on mathematics and statistics. This system is used in Europe and Africa, in high schools and universities. The Education-in-a-suitcase project, run by the Smiley Charity, fundraises to get tablet computers with tutor-web based software and SMLY into the hands of low-income students in Kenya.
