Left the website open for an entire day but not a single block mined. Reckon the website is getting refreshed periodically and hence disrupting the mining process. I'm hoping for either a more stable website mining platform or something similar.

While this project might have been promising, I am starting to have serious doubts given the blatant use of newbie accounts to bump/promote the thread.

I have seen the same newbie accounts posting one liners then deleting their posts in the past hour alone. It's not a one-time thing and these deleted posts are then followed up by posts from brand new accounts which are then deleted. All of these accounts were created on Apr 16.

Whether this is sanctioned by the ArTis team or not, such blatant abuse of the forum system does nothing but hurt the reputation of the project.

The project looks promising and I can think of a few real world uses for it. Gonna be keeping an eye on this for the December launch.

That said, not too keen on all the obvious bot posts from newbie accounts found in this thread so far.

There's the official announcement

Good to know things are still on track. Was wondering about the sudden silence but citizenship is definitely a higher priority.

That's cos they are using coinhive links.

Seems there was a change regarding the ETH-SEM Airdrop.

It now reads:

1. You need to have non-zero balance in your Etherum wallet at block #5357795 (Apr-01-2018).
2. You need to sign your Semux address with your Etherum wallet.
3. The airdrop rate is 2 ETH = 1 SEM. You will get at least 1 SEM and at most 500 SEM per address.
4. The total airdrop allocation is 2,000,000 SEM.
5. Applications will be processed on Saturday weekly.

My understanding would be that as long as you had ETH at the point of the snapshot, participants will receive a minimum of 1 SEM. To qualify for more than the bare minimum airdrop, participants would need more than 2 ETH in the registered wallet at the point of the snapshot.

But yeah, we will find out soon enough.

Why in the world are all the links coinhived???

It was announced that the ETH snapshot has been taken. So it should be fine to move your eth away.

They ran away with everyone's crypto. Was only to be expected but I still sympathise with those who were affected.

The merit requirement was done away with.

Most of them are flagged because the posts do not show any consideration. Basically, it means their post doesn't show that they actually know what the project is about or what the airdrop is like. Of course, spammers and puppets have been similarly flagged.

If they posted something very general like "I like your distribution. I hope your project will succeed." etc which could be copied paste onto any thread and not look out of place, they get flagged.

probably need to spread the hash around a bit instead of concentrating it all on one pool.

That worked like a charm. Thank you.

I'm stuck on block 40286. Doesn't sync and when I try to add priority nodes as advised in an earlier post, it just hangs. I'm not using the GUI wallet and I can't decide if my wallet is on a fork.

I would like to see this work for no other reason than that it would add convenience for all the crypto users out there. That's why everyone loves web wallets that support multiple cryptos.

I can't even read the braincypher; no need to talk about trying to solve it.

All these "anti-bot" features are making it easier for the bots/computers instead of humans.

Your discord rank gets reset after every airdrop. To qualify, you will need to achieve the minimum of level 5.

The answer is actually in the OP.

100,000,000 (80%) of NEV will be distributed to the community.
