is the project still alive?
on green market price dropped to 1 sat
I think it is. At least we are working hard since many months on the idea of the community token which would provide us the governance system that is more advanced than masternodes from different aspects. There is also an idea on how to upgrade our code @d5000 is working on and in my opinion there is a good chance for us to overcome the situation we are in with this part. The price indicates nobody knows/believes in what we are working on, but it this stage it's quite indifferent. Once we have the token ready to launch we'll have something concrete to speak about and than we'll need to find the way to make it known to the outside world. If we manage to have this part done we would be able to see whether what we've invented is something that the market would appreciate or not, thus the price would become relevant. |

I answered you by PM. There seems to be a configuration issue at Reddit. In mid-January I will go on with development & testing, don't worry  Great! |

Hi @d5000,
I'm a bit worried about our token testing.
I've posted some consideration on reddit about 10 days ago, but got no answer.
I'd be going on testing as usual thinking you are just busy and that you'd reply later but I've got a strange issue with all my posts being marked as spam there, so I was forced to approve them manually.
Thus I'm not really sure you are getting my communications (both publicly and privately) and whether you haven't replied by chance and I'm not seeing your replies because of the same issue.
Please let me know, so I can go on testing.

Ah well... is anyone really surprised?
So many newbies participating in this discussion.... Are you guys afraid to reveal your real nick?  Personally I'd be more surprised if the project set up in that way would succeed, but the question remains: Is there a valid idea behind or not? If there is, something should be done to let the idea live. By the way "rebranding" this project in order the old investors to have a tiny share and to let the new investor to take over all wouldn't be in old investors interests. So for the first time in the history of this coin I'm seeing something meaningful done. (Personal opinion of course). |

... the discord is active...
I'm not able to use the XBY Discord, it seems disabled and even when it was active there was the absurd verification request to participate (I don't like to give my phone number around, maybe it's wrong). Zero support is correct.
I think that what was done so far was not that relevant for the project, since the project hasn't moved anywhere in all this time. So it was in fact zero support before. But if the idea is the right one it doesn't make sense to throw it away. Satoshi has begun with just one dev.... |

If Zoltan is the responsible of the project, what is the way to keep in touch with him and to get updated about the development of his project?
|
|
|

Dunno, as I know he just didn't do it.
Maybe he refunded people, but I didn't see it.
I think there is some misunderstanding we'll need to clarify later on. If there is some code the community has paid for it would be a good thing for us to have it available. If the dev was too busy to work on it he'll probably would be available to refund, but as far as I know the community members involved weren't touch with him directly. |

It looks like it's working ok. 300 kh/s with Ryzen 3900  almost doubled performance of my old Ryzen 1700... That's great! I've heard SLM is one of the most profitable coins to mine currently. By the way, weren't it you who was thinking to set up a pool? Or I've got it wrong? I was trying to get pool with some guy, but I think he scammed some btc from community unfortunately, and didn't do anything (like it was working for a few days only, and was unstable). Solo mining should easy enough for now. There should've been some misunderstanding I hope, barrystyle is a serious dev as I know. Maybe it may make sense trying to clarify? |

Well as I was here from 2017, I know a lot of quirks of SLM from way back.
I will update Slimcoin AIO package for Windows. As I see my old package doesn't work anymore, probably due to new version of client.
Still those synchronization is pain in the ... Ah, if it would really get an update to anything newer than this 0.5 btc codebase, it could at least be somehow functioning without hiccups.
I think you'll need to compile v0.6 if not I should have a compiled version (I can send it to you if you need me to). An upgrade is indeed needed, that's the key issue we have to solve. I have 0.6 version from compiled by Graham. Besides is there still problem with mining on 0.6 version? I had such problems when I tried it 2 years. I don't really know, since I'm not mining. If you can try it to see whether the mining works or not and report here if there is any issue we can try to find a fix. We are also actively looking for the solution in order for us to have an upgrade. |

If you need any help with it don't be shy :-) |

Sorry for such long time being away. I was too much hard worked up with other projects and education (still I am... but finishing it off). I see that you have salvaged site and placed on different domain. Good, I forgot to do it completely. I have changed data a bit on coinpaprika to have new data about domain and discord server: https://coinpaprika.com/coin/slm-slimcoin/ - it has all up-to-date now. Great! Would be useful to create a redirect from slimco.in to slimcoin.info. I've created a list of sites where we'd need to update our info ( https://github.com/slimcoin-project/slm-assets/blob/master/links%20list.txt) Would you have time/wish to work on it? |

The moderator has to do his work well distinguishing where is the spam and where is the natural human communication if he fails doing so he is just another meaningless bot, which is what we are supposed to be fighting with those rules.
You must also understand that no moderator is in your head. If behind your "Great" we must understand "Great, this two-weeks problem is finally solved, I was happy to help you", you're not helping the moderation much. In a perfect world, the moderator could have taken 10 minutes of his time to go back over the conversation and try to understand the context of that "Great" a little better. Let's do some simple maths. And I give you a little secret, on average since July 2016, there are 16 405 reports per month across all Bitcointalk. The Altcoins section is probably the section where there are the most reports (but I don't have the exact numbers), let's say 15% of reports come from the Altcoins section (Discussions, Ann, etc...). 4 moderators can act on these sections : Welsh, Mprep, Hilariousandco and Mr Big. There are also patrollers (for newbies) and admins who can moderate, but let's ignore them to simplify the calculations. 16405 *15% = 2460 reports in the Altcoins section 2460 / 4 mods = 615 reports per mod (For the record, if I have 20-30 reports a month in the french section to handle, it's a big month for me) 615 * 10min = 6150 min 6150 min / 60 = 102 hours 102h / 24h = 4.25 days So these 4 mods should spend more than 4 full days per month (sometimes more, sometimes less) just for the Altcoins section. Knowing that the GMs handle other sections, and there are surely reports that take much more time to analyse. And unless I'm mistaken, but being a moderator on Bitcointalk is not a full time job, and we have a job, a life too. So yes, in your case, the naughty mod had a report on your "Great" and after a few seconds of consideration, he only saw Great = 0 value, so he deleted it. But why a mod should take his time to decipher a "Great", when you didn't take the time to recontextualize your post, to provide a little substance to your post ? Your time is more precious than the time of the mod ? Thank you for your explanation. Consider I'm losing my hours too here right now because of just one word. So maybe it somehow important to me. Wouldn't it make sense to automate the moderation process a bit? I think it will take like less than 10 minutes of your time to create a query to see which are the users that post across the different threads short sentences of just one-two words and to focus the moderators attention just on them. If there are people like me that usually stay on the same thread and yes, maybe I'm sinning with some short sentence, but maybe it can save you a lot of time letting me doing that if it's not that frequent? If I produce usually let say 4000 characters posts and sometimes there are 1-2 words posts it's not a big deal after all, chances are I'm doing that in context of normal human communication. Don't know whether it can make sense. |

The rules have worked fine "for the people" for years.
Maybe you are right. However many things have worked well for years and then was changed into something better. If works perfectly fine without "end if" in python or in C-style single-statement form
I knew you'd tell it. ...it works perfectly fine without the fluffy-cuddly chatter on this forum. We don't need to start all threads with single-word "Hi" post, or end them with "thanks" or "best regards" posts.
I agree with your opinion and you can do as you wish, but your opinion is forced on me through absurd rules (or even worse, its interpretations), so I can't do as I wish, that's the issue. I have to be afraid to communicate normally because someone has decided it's better another way around. That's not cool, IMO. |

They don't see them. Or someone reports or they do some causal research deleting what they just don't like.
So this means that the responsibilities also lies with the ones who reports them only to get their number of correct reports count increase. So many people have so many different motives here.  Interesting insight. But the real solution is to not make such posts.
The real solution is to create the rules that works for the people, not to create a subset that accepts absurd rules. The other part of that fallacy is that "thanks" or "great" or whatever makes someone polite, and lack of such one-word replies makes someone rude... no, it doesn't.
The construction [if]... [then]...[else]..[end if] make sense in the same manner as "Thank you"-"Np" construction in the human communication. The construction "Thank you" - [?] doesn't make sense in the same manner as [if]...[then]...[else]...[nothing here even if it should be]. It just doesn't work. The moderator has to do his work well distinguishing where is the spam and where is the natural human communication if he fails doing so he is just another meaningless bot, which is what we are supposed to be fighting with those rules. The other way of thinking here is that I have to learn moderators moods (because I'm asked to comply with their interpretation not with the rule itself) and if I wasn't able to it's my fault. |

Well, if your comment had just one word 'great', it makes sense that it got deleted, doesn't it?
Maybe This will also likely get deleted, one word comments are generally not tolerated. Your original comment shouldn't generally tolerated as it doesn't add any value except to your pockets. My reply to your comment even being just one word communicate all that in one word, but of course my comment is most likely to be moderated and the 30% of the spam comments like your I've got here are perfectly in line with the "rule" I have to respect, as someone has said in the comment just above. No, my comment will also get nuked, I knew it when I wrote it. Let's see then.... My concern is that do such comments get deleted because some people report them ? Or they are directly seen by the mods and they delete them ? They don't see them. Or someone reports or they do some causal research deleting what they just don't like. And apparently nobody checks what they are deleting and why. At least that's what I've got from this conversation. I helped some fix an issue the thread was six or seven posts we got the issue fixed. so I post this A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. hello, i have just started to mine LTC with bitmain antminer L3 on viabtc.com
so i have told that i have to choose pps+ to get rewarded of doge, but on website it is written that i have to choose ppln..
i have a question if you are mining on viabtc what did you choose? thanks for answer
pps+  thanks good luck as doge is amazing at the moment As I helped the guy get squared away and was merely being civil. mods deleted it. As being civil and encouraging new people seems to be frowned upon. I have no signature for profit as I no longer believe in doing that. But that is simply the way of this forum it doe not care if you are polite or civil . This indeed is a good example of one word comment that delivers value and that shouldn't have been moderated. |

Just imagine how many resentful users will come here with proof of the value of their posts.
Not many as you can see, in fact for the moment there are very few here. If someone posts just a spam comment (that is contrary to mine "Great!" comment is against the first rule of the forum), he won't be here complaining. Since I haven't posted a spam comment, because it was a conclusion of a two weeks work I participated I'm complaining, because in my opinion the moderator should understand if my comment is a spam or not. Being a comment just one word comment doesn't automatically means the mentioned rule is involved. I agree to respect the rules, but who applies them has to respect me as well and treat me as an honest contributor and not as a spammer which I'm not. |
