The good news is: Sling is not being heavily dumped compared to many other alts because of the sudden btc rise  |

that coin has a thread on bitcointalk? before i could even make a single offer i would like to see the ann thread for security....
It does indeed have a thread... the original dev seems to have disappeared after laying basic foundations down for the decentralized marketplace and a new dev called cryptovote seems to be continuing where he left off. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1032166.3260 |

Do you know how to add a time lock (release) into the code whereby if the buyer doesn't release the funds by (x) time the escrow funds are returned to seller?
I will need to add that. If the buyer loses the private key (wallet corrupt, etc..) or doesn't release for whatever reason, the escrow funds could be locked forever. The (x) time should be part of each listing (variable) or hard-coded (so it is global)? We will need to alter the market db if (x) time is a variable. Use opchecklocktimeverify Good idea with checklocktimeverify https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawikiIn the escrow example from that wiki there are three people included in the transaction by way of 2 of 2 multisig, the variables would need to be adapted to slings scenario where there are only 2 sigs involved. |

500K Sling...That's slightly more than 50% of the total Sling coin cap atm??
Perhaps you meant 50K??

The (x) time should be part of each listing (variable) or hard-coded (so it is global)? We will need to alter the market db if (x) time is a variable. That sounds like a very good idea to have the deadline time for escrow funds as a variable. Some people might prefer 1 hour of locked funds for fast transactions vs others that are prepared to wait say 2 weeks whilst funding is put in place (or whatever reason). BTW, would you like any help getting a new thread in place for Sling?? Feels like it could do with a fresh restart and looks like you got your hands full with coding etc!! During my spare time I can help put something together in the near future. |

How does escrow work in sling?
The implementation code is in market.cpp but here is an overview. A buyer request sets up a multisig address using public keys from the buyer and seller with the CScript::SetMultisig (see script.cpp) method. The buyer gets the seller's public key address from the listing. The buyer send funds to the multisig address. After signatures from the buyer and seller, the funds are released to the seller. It is fairly simple but doesn't handle the situation where the buyer never releases the funds. I think the escrow will be stuck if this happens. There is no third party to release funds or a set time where the buyer's sig is not needed. Do you know how to add a time lock (release) into the code whereby if the buyer doesn't release the funds by (x) time the escrow funds are returned to seller? |

Just checking in, not much going on by the looks of it in sling community... hopefully things are happening behind the scenes.
Ready to help out whenever needed for testing etc.
I am still actively working on Sling but of course things take longer than I expect. Haha always the way for more or less anything Still holding my sling like the precious digital assets they are because of your efforts. |

CryptoVote any Update on the Proggress possible?  Yes, sorry; I have been working hard to upgrade Sling's core classes to Dash version 0.12.x. I will apply this upgrade to BTX first then upgrade Sling. I have a list of so many issues with the current Sling version that are fixed in Dash's latest release. I think fixing bugs is more important than finishing the new market HTML UI or adding a reputation system. With the current Sling version, I can't get a reliable list of masternodes, it crashes when loading the blockchain, stake/MN reward display incorrect, it doesn't release all resources on Windows when exiting, etc... The new version will have InstantX, DarkSend, and Masternode Consensus Voting/Budgets activated in addition to fixing many, many bugs. This upgrade is not easy so please be patient. Sorry for the lack of communication but I was stuck for a few weeks and had no significant progress to report. I learned a whole lot about the blockchain's inner workings (blocks and transactions) trying to solve my problems. Thanks for the input cryptovote. It's good to see this coin isn't going to die! |

centralized? hmm i wont even bother It just a client/server web site that runs on the Tor network but not very technically interesting. Doing that via a Crypto Network without a Server is way more interesting, if Sling succed with that, the Sky is the Limit Has there been any updates? Looks like dev hasn't logged in quite a while... Last Active: August 21, 2015, 10:18:11 PM This is why a new Sling thread by CrytoVote is needed. |

What about starting a new thread with CryptoVote as the OP? That way people can see that the dev of Sling is active.

Sling is not my coin.
You can be a developer or part of a development team and still say.... "It's not my coin" because technically you wouldn't be lying... just sayin'  |

Android client is best for tablets I guess
HTML 5 client might be used in any system, but I doubt it can be stable and easy to multitable...

with the current METHOD used for mining has only one future, and that is eventually ending up with a few huge mining companies. The mining competetion leads toward most effective way to mine. How can these huge mining companies compete with small users having free electricity like me  Yes I use electricity to heat my room in winter anyway so if the miner is silent and reliable I can use it to generate heat. |
