Slimcoin | First Proof of Burn currency | Decentralized Web

[d5000]

I would like to give bounty 20 000 SLM for pool set up

Thanks! I've updated the OP accordingly. Also I've received your PM and added your offer there. If there's something not right I'll change/delete it.

Until now I received no message/notice from "smith7800" and the other Reddit user. For now I'll leave their offers on the OP, but I moved them into the "old bounties" section.

By the way: It's a bit a pity that our Subreddit isn't used so much - it's nice for structured discussions. However, I don't like the fact that Reddit archives threads after 6 months, that forbids some use cases like the "bounty thread" I started there. Does somebody know an alternative where threads are never archived? I had looked at Voat but they seem to enforce the same policy.

@memberberry: Hm, you may be right. Heat to me looked a bit "scammy" (or at least, their promises were "too bold" for a simple NXT clone) when I first heard about it, and your timeline seems to prove that it was a good decision to not invest anything there .

@eddycurrent: Cool, thanks!

The coin is what I call "fake crypto", they claim to be decentralized but then there are important parts in control of 2 person. This is not decentralized! They market their shitcoin by saying they solve the scalability issue and the coin could do 1000 transactions per second, then when the coin came out and could not even do bitcoin level of transaction volumes they claimed 1000tps were only promised in a private network... Total bogus. The latest claims on that were that 1000tps will be reached in late 2018... Just endless delaying tactics to keep people's interest in this project and probably avoiding lawsuits... They censor the thread frequently so no criticism can arise. My posts just got deleted a few minutes ago. Yeah this project totally has the spirit of these new crypto revolutionaries...  https://twitter.com/avsa/status/930778293145604096
I think it is a shame bct lets these guys continue their scam in here. Yes it is good to provide a platform for everybody, including these scammers, but providing a platform where they can delete every criticism is bad, you just help them continue to scam.

Okay what I tried to say was stay away from this crapcoin! There is one mayor bagholder "Crapsy" who cheers constantly for this project, don't get lured into this by him!

Sorry for not updatiing the OS X version, will do so now ...

Drat. My Sierra OS X VM didn't survive the move from Ubuntu to Mint, VMWare reports the VM as running but there's no activity (spit).  There will be a short delay while I rebuild and re-provision the VM.

Replacing the now-elderly 5.0.something VMWare from the Mint 18.2 distro with the latest VMWare 5.2 d/l cured the problem. An OS X (Sierra) Slimcoin dmg of the latest version (master) is now available:

https://minkiz.co/noodlings/slm/SLIMCoin-Qt-v0.5.2.dmg

Usefully, it is also able to bootstrap from the datadir snapshot.

Also, it uses BerkeleyDB 4.8, so not speedy but is backward-compatible in that it will allow users to drop back to a previous version without borking the wallet (6.3 can read 4.8 wallets but 4.8 cannot read the wallets that 6.3 saves). At some point in the future I'll make available both a SLIMCoin-Qt48 (using 4.8 )  and a SLIMCoin-Qt (using 6.X).

Cheers

gjhiggins introduced the PoB bug in the first place with an improper replacement of the C99 macro.

And even worse, it's not as if it wasn't explicitly specified in the code (https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/blob/master/src/util.h#L90) ...
#define PRI64d  "lld"
#define PRI64u  "llu"
#define PRI64x  "llx"

Sigh. Aaanyway, I revisited the original committed changes and ensured that each was appropriately longlonged: https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/commit/aaf3e387d39a1371c15adc811afdf0417246f22e

@aiA: Done! I have also deleted some redundancies between the installation and the resources section.

I assume eddycurrent has won the ARM bounty, so I can delete it fully ...

Thank you d5000, and yes, eddycurrent has won the bounty. Thanks to all people that make that awesome community!!!

Cheers.

[eddycurrent]

Hello aIA,

Did those binarys I posted for ARMv8 work on your system? I just want to verify that it didn't just work on my local system, but will work on any system.

By the way I would be happy with your proposed 60%-40% bounty split if you and gjhiggins are too.

Regards

I received such mail.

Hi there,
My name is Emma and I'm the CMO of Blockbid, an ultra-secure exchange which will list more cryptocurrencies than any other platform.

With over 150 exchanges servicing the global cryptocurrency industry, getting a coin listed is a tedious and often expensive process. We're here to simplify and streamline that process, making it simpler and more affordable for your coin to gain exposure and thus value.

With Blockbid, your coin will be listed on a top exchange, at a fraction of the price that others charge.

For a strictly limited time, we are offering you the opportunity to be among 250+ of the top coins included for our launch.

To take advantage of this offer, simply purchase 1000 Blockbid tokens (BID) before the 16th of December 2017. After this date, the price for listing will be 10 ETH, or 2500 BID, which would need to be purchased in an exchange at market rates.

If you purchase before November 18th, the number of BID per ETH is 300. Between November 19 and and December 16th, this reduces to 200 BID per ETH.

Your coin will receive a listing, paired with your choice of two top crypotcurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash...etc).

Process:
Purchase 1,000 BID before the 16th of December 2017, by sending ETH to our Crowdsale wallet: 0x029b0c90db9a97aab252da5b292b6061d397fa95
Keep your transaction confirmation and we will be in touch shortly to collect details for the coin approval and listing process. If your coin is not approved, your ETH will be immediately refunded.
To learn more about Blockbid, visit our website or read our whitepaper.
PS - we're announcing the Blockbid exchange wireframes this week, so keep an eye out on our social channels!

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Emma

Can you think about crowdfunding for these 5ETH ?
I will give some, but still I'm a student, cant stretch so much .

[gjhiggins]

If your coin is not approved, your ETH will be immediately refunded.

No published criteria, so an obvious PR ploy.

Cheers

I just saw that maybe there is a little hope that Novaexchange won't close (message is from November 14):

We are negotiating with new owners if we can avoid closing NovaExchange and instead allow them to migrate users and balances. More information will be published as soon as we know for sure what will happen.

Anyway, I think I will do again a try adding Slimcoin to Bitsquare (now Bisq.network) which is completely free and doesn't require OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY - only a little work ... I think it won't do harm, and they have already signalized interest earlier. I will try to explain them that we have no "official" team and so they should treat us like Bitcoin

Maybe OpenLedger could be also an option, they have added very small coins like Qora in the past. However, they have a strange IOU system I still didn't completely understand - and here I should investigate more.

PS: I have just looked into Bisq and they have removed the requirement to list an "official developer/team". There is only the "official website" and "official block explorer" requirement left, but I think this should be solvable (website is the Github.io project site, block explorer for now would be Bchain or in the future, ACME). The two problems I see with the Bisq platform are 1) that they seem to delist not-traded altcoins pretty fast and 2) they have only Bitcoin as a really working "base currency" and so the fees for a trade are very high at this point.

Hello aIA,

Did those binarys I posted for ARMv8 work on your system? I just want to verify that it didn't just work on my local system, but will work on any system.

Hi eddycurrent, I have just tested with V7 and work perfectly. Can´t test v8 because raspbian its only 32bit and Raspberry Pi 3 (armv8) with 32bits OS report itself as armv7 and woks with armv7 instructions set.

armv5 doesn´t work on raspberry pi with raspbian.

Maybe someone with other arm device could test v5 and v8.

Cheers.

Edit:

Hi gjhiggins, you have a PM.
Cheers.

Hello. After updating 0.5.1 everything works fine.
Does the value of "Formatted nEffectiveBurnCoins" decrease after someone disconnected wallet with burned coins? By analogy with the weight of the network when stacking.

[almightyruler]

Suggestion: Could somebody with multiple stakes becoming fresh in short time consider securing the wallet/quitting the pocket book for a while, go back on the internet later and so on., to provide for a far more constant flow of block?Curiosity should build up proportionally even though that person might shed some interest around the curiosity.

I had the same problem with another coin. As well the constant stakes of my client pushing up difficulty for everyone, there's also the issue of the client rapidly using up the cumulative coin age of all the unspent outputs, rather than spreading out the stakes evenly over the typical maturing period. No point staking hard for 2 days straight then your client doing nothing for the next 28 because the outputs need 30 days to mature.

If you're on *nix, this is a fairly unsophisticated 'sh' script that sleeps for a few minutes after a successful stake. (Change peepcoind to slimcoind)

echo "`date`    start"
./peepcoind -datadir=. reservebalance false > /dev/null
lasttx=`./peepcoind -datadir=. listtransactions "" 1 | grep txid | awk -F \" '{print $4}'`
while : ; do
  sleep 10
  t=`./peepcoind -datadir=. listtransactions "" 1 | grep txid | awk -F \" '{print $4}'`
  if [ "${t}" != "${lasttx}" ]; then
    lasttx=${t}
    echo -n "`date`    new tx ${t} : sleeping "
    ./peepcoind -datadir=. reservebalance true 100000000  > /dev/null
    sleep 240
    echo ""
    ./peepcoind -datadir=. reservebalance false > /dev/null
  fi
done

This group has one thing down pat, a great marketing team. Good luck.

Any Pool?

[Glebonator]

Any Pool?

No pool. But you can mine solo. "networkghps" : Now "networkghps" is 0.00233982. With non-mobile CPU it's  ~ few blocks in hour.
https://github.com/JonnyLatte/slimminer

[muf18]

With really good cpu it would be like that. With my 8 core Ryzen it's max 20-30 blocks per day, vary on diff level, but max 30 blocks I have seen with this diff I think.

[muf18]

Anybody tried to contact other exchanges?
I tried several, and I'm waiting for responses.

[PeterTheGrape]

gjhiggins, I saw you were helping gapcoin and I just went to research the old datacoin that was one of the coolest old coins that might have been dead and saw a repository that I guess is yours.

If you keep saving all the goodcoins what will happen to all the shitcoins out there?

[muf18]

Yes gjhiggins, is helping a few project, Slimcoin and datacoin the most, as I have seen. Shitcoins should be dead anyway, so I don't think it's a much of a loss . And good coins should be supported, especially innovative ones. With big tossing new tokens and coins, old and good ones should be at least maintained and slowly developing.

A year or two ago somebody started building something on datacoin but I guess couldn't find tech types to help. He or she was just working on the coin as a hobby, trying to build cool stuff that was beyond my understanding, but unfortunately most developers only want the new high visibility coins. I think I got some datacoin from cryptsy and would definitely try to get more to support it if it gets listed somewhere. With all these new decentralized exchanges it might be cool to make a few strictly quality coin exchanges, no premine, no ico, mainly useful algorhythm or hobby coins http://anycoin.exchange/
