Slimcoin | First Proof of Burn currency | Decentralized Web

[muf18]

Ok, so I will write some short version (but really there isn't much news) from slack and my little "campaign" to bring more people interested in Slimcoin.
There are 11 people on slack. 8 in development channel.
For now we didn't have any meaningful discussion, but we are organising time to have one. I' ll try to bring more people here and to Slack.

Uh-huh, another spinning-on-a-stick plate of mine that's starting to wobble a bit and needs an energy boost.

No, as it turns out, it didn't. I'd already committed the code to the repos last month, the “Github” icon link at ACME's top right does work.

https://github.com/gjhiggins/acme/ <- note, three branches, master and two adaptations, slimcoin and datacoin.

Cheers

Some work required, still.

Thank you Graham.

I would consider that to be payment enough for the mere copying of work already done by others ... the original commits, which I tracked down:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2861/files (with an informative discussion)

https://github.com/litecoin-project/bitcoinomg/commit/fa960268f1327630aef092463f3ff7dc4b9f66ab (all rounded up into a single commit)

Which proved to be a useful exercise because it revealed a number of later commits extending the feature into the GUI, e.g.

https://github.com/litecoin-project/bitcoinomg/commit/55a1e69851c795c8f25e3999fa901bde0e990d32

Which reduces the task to one of working through the commits, copying the changes and finding the right place in the Slimcoin code to paste them into.

Then I can use the feature. That's the useful thing about FOSS, if you want an extra feature, just add it.

Cheers

So my wallet isn't staking all of my coins. It stakes like 5k out of my 20k, and mints like 30 coins.

Is that normal? Is there anyway to get more out of it? Or is that the right amount (30 coins for 20k)?

[muf18]

It's normal, if you have moved 15k coins somewhere, because it must settle for a while, before starting staking again.
If not - sometimes also it can be normal - it will comeback to normal, in a few hours or days.

Ah thanks you're right. It seems to send 5k coins at a time into staking then mint new ones out of that.

[muf18]

Yeah, sure np.

I don't know why, but invitation to slack no longer works...
Something is wrong with it.
But nonetheless I generate new one - can you try and see if it works?

New addnodes updated (with all nodes from ACME):

@muf18: Thanks, will add the addnodes list to the OP.

Unfortunately, the Slack link does not work. A "You're already here!" message appears, but I never logged in with one of my email addresses. There is also no way to register "bypassing" the invitation process. So I would need another link it seems ...

I don't know Slack very much, but is it possible that invitation links work only once, or for a limited time?

@gjhiggins: Thanks! I found the blocknotify script ... will try it out with my own Fuseki installation and report progress here.

[muf18]

How about this?

Join my Slack team! https://join.slack.com/t/slimcoinproject/shared_invite/enQtMjQzMjU5NjUwMjQ3LTJhYzQzMjI2YTcwNGZlNWE4YjYwMDMzODU5NTFkZmYyOGE4OGFlMmI3ZjM1ZGIzY2QwZjYwOTBlM2QzNzFiMzc

Cool. I'm still trying to update the Slimcoin blockgraph, running very slowly atm but seein' as it is running, I'm leaving it alone for the nonce,

the wallet crashes anytime I try to unlock it. anyone else having this problem?

Irrespective of the response, the minimum info needed for anyone to help is: what the debug log says, what the architecture and the OS is and which version of Slimcoin is exhibiting the problem.

Cheers

Graham

Edit: (now being resolved off-channel)

On the stack for investigating, when further details are forthcoming.

Lol, it's _crawling_, so slowly that for every 500 blocks it processes, more are added while it's cogitating. I'll bring it in-house, mill the update and push the RDF back at Fuseki. The
 switch to more tractable messaging obviates the issue in later versions of the codebase.

(I should be flattered, I suppose - GCHQ must have assigned their very best people to the task, they managed to break the tmux connection.)

Orphaned ? Hmm, I don't have such issue - I mean, sometimes I have 1-2 blocks orphaned per day, or even 2 in a row, but I guess it's because 90 sec blocks, instead of longer block time,
and that someone was faster than me, hashing block.

Re posts passim ...

For those on the lookout for early signs of the hierarchy preparing for an assault on the network, Dimon's sustained rants qualify as one.

Paul Mason, economics editor of C4, predicted this in a Guardian piece from a couple of years ago. I have the piece archived.

Is it PoB difficulty connected with PoW difficulty? Mainly they are very close.

I have noticed something or maybe it is just coincidence:

I remember when Total coins were around 8 000 000, the number of the burned coins were around 800 000, when the total coins were around 12 000 000, than total burned coins were 1around 1 200 000, now total coins are around 14 000 000 we have around 1 400 0000 burned coins. Looks like every time is ratio 1:10

[muf18]

On ACME there is more than 2 milions burnt coins it shows, and supply is 15.2 mln (total 17.2).

It's lagging, as I mentioned.

I cherry-picked the CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY from https://github.com/gjhiggins/slimcoin-0.6/commits/0.6?after=47711694de3e4e192c71121112a1e6fdd7c295a3+34 in order to get to https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/commit/631a7fc36d813a9057e54059b1386b14be289886.

Compiles but tests fail atm, more work is required.

Cheers
