Slimcoin | First Proof of Burn currency | Decentralized Web

You are right KingCZE, actual usage is the most important thing to achieve for a coin that wants to be successful.

The problem is, in my opinion, that the wallet is still too buggy for a larger marketing effort. "Non-nerds" won't be happy with the client in its actual state. If you read the old thread, you will see that the client at the beginning was even buggier and there were many people that left angry because of this issue.

The most important thing for SLM in 2016 is to attract coders that could participate in development.

Miners sometimes are technically savy people, so there is a chance to attract developers from this segment. I wouldn't ignore it.

Looks like we'll never go far without a BTC bounty for a developer

You may be right ... at least, we would need really attractive SLM bounties (in the millions, or in the form of a monthly payment). Perhaps I can set up a donation address for bounties if people here trust me

Slimcoin.club seems down definitively. If it won't come back (I have written "a123"), I'll setup a basic web page about Slimcoin, but not on a paid domain for now because I would like to preserve my anonymity. I could also fill the wiki at Github and maybe other cryptocurrency pages with some content.

Don't forget: With all the problems of SLM, we are slowly approaching its second birthday! (~ 100 days left). And the network seems to be pretty OK and stable, BTER still lists it (and it had even a mini-bubble some days ago).

PS: I noticed the order book at BTER is looking better every day, maybe it's the time for an technically savvy investor to get in

PS2: http://slimcoin.club is up again! It was simply a technical issue.

Are we dead?

Are we dead?

"Sort of"

- The network is healthy.
- Price has made a > 500 % jump at BTER in the last weeks (from about 0.0000008 to 0.000006 BTC). It looks obvious that someone has bought some SLM as an investment. Maybe it's a pre-pump or even an investor looking to revive development.
- What SLM needs is a dedicated development team to fix the bugs.

Hi guys, how many total supply of Slimcoin?

[d5000]

Hi guys, how many total supply of Slimcoin?

Slimcoin does not have a fixed total supply. Inflation depends on difficulty (like in Peercoin) and the "burning rate", because burnt coins are de facto destroyed and cant be spend. Inflation is actually pretty low as most blocks have 10-20 coins and block time is 90 seconds.

You can check the actual supply here (this takes into account burnt coins):

http://www.slimcoin.club/#blkexp

Actually total supply is about 8,6 million, and if you rest the burnt coins, its about 7,4 million. Take into account that this cryptocurrency is almost 2 years old, so it's not a very high number.

Burnt coins are actually about 1,2 million (balance of the burn address, SfSLMCoinMainNetworkBurnAddr1DeTK5) , so about 15% of the created coins have been burnt.

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble compiling JohnnyLatte's GPU version of slimminer. I'm using Cygwin64 to compile on windows 7. I'm able to get to through the following steps:
./autogen.sh
LIBCURL="-lcurldll"
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"

When I get the "make" step, I get the following error:

gpu.h:6:19: fatal error: CL/cl.h: No such file or directory

Has anyone encountered this before? I'd appreciate any help. This is my first time compiling anything on windows, so I'm really new at all this!

Thanks!

Looks like SLIM has been delisted from BTER. 

[ArchitektoR]

https://bter.com/trade/slm_btc works for me

[quasimodo]

https://bter.com/trade/slm_btc works for me

for me too, but i can't withdraw my slimcoins 

[ArchitektoR]

I'm fighting for my AsiaCoin withdrawal on BTER from NewYear .... they are almost "GOXed"... It's a zombie-exchange at the moment - looks alive, but almost dead...

[d5000]

Delisting on BTER is obviously no good news. But I got the impression too that this exchange is not too trustworthy. (There are two ways to login, for example, one with captcha and the other without ...)

I was able to withdraw all my SLM from BTER, seems that they have fixed this problem at least, and trading still works, too. Perhaps one of the newer altcoin exchanges like YoBit or Bleutrade can be our friend. I've already applied at YoBit (here is the form if someone wants to try, too).

I have also updated the README at Github and created the first wiki pages. The more resources we can show, the more attractive is SLM for both exchanges, users and new developers (still our first goal to reach for long-term success).

I second yobit as being a good option for you guys. It accepts anyone and you guys would get a solid pump there and hopefully a community revival in the process.

Does someone have the technical knowledge to respond to gjhiggins' post in the Slimcoin Issues?

https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/issues/1#issuecomment-204947596

If we could fix at least this annoying bug (Linux client getting stuck) it would be a huge improvement, because most crypto businesses run Linux-based servers. Perhaps bchain.info's latest problems are related to this issue too.

Does someone have applied at YoBit? Development is more important than exchanges, but it would be good to be added there to raise attention.

[gavrilo77]

I have requested Yobit as well.

What is actually problem with the wallet? I dont have problem with 0.3.2.1. on Windows 10 64 bit

Here you can see the current bugs.

The Windows wallet does work pretty fine, but there were some freezings and crashes reported earlier in this thread. I have a Windows and a Linux wallet. My Windows wallet had no freezings, but I'm not using it very often.

The most severe bug is that the Linux client gets stuck at some blocks, and there is no way to download the block in question other than copying a blockchain snapshot (blkindex.dat/blk0001.dat) from a Windows client to the ".slimcoin" folder. So the best way for Linux users on desktop PCs is to use the Windows client via Wine.

[d5000]

gavrilo77: I'm responding here as I think the discussion about the Linux wallet bug is better done in public, maybe some people know about it.

I've not tried reconsiderblock, but I think it is not implemented in Slimcoin (I've not found it when trying slimcoind help in the command line, and slimcoind reconsiderblock gives me "method not found").

To my knowledge, reconsiderblock was added to Bitcoin in 2014, but Slimcoin is based on Peercoin which is based on a BTC version released in 2012 or 2013.

[enerbyte]

without exchange?
there any chance that SLM is again listed on any exchange?
