Slimcoin | First Proof of Burn currency | Decentralized Web

[gjhiggins]

Thanks a lot! Deployed it on the linux node and works like a charm. Now I have to figure out where Slimcoin stores its blockchain on a Mac. I suspect ~Library or its neighbors.

Edit: it worked like a charm on Mac too. I have two nodes now, let's see how I can mine/mint some slimcoins now . Thanks for your support, you've been very helpful!

I'm relieved and glad it worked.

For those following along at home, the default location for datadir on OS X is ~/Library/Application Support/SLIMcoin/. (On recent OSX versions, ~/Library is hidden by default in the Finder, the show/hide checkbox is in “View Options”).

Cheers

Graham

Now my Windows client is blocked at 859045

Now my Windows client is blocked at 859045

Is strange, I am with the last version without problems in windows 10, close and then open the client maybe it can solve the problem.

Tried and the same, and tried to sync again from the files i post it a week ago, and the same, it says syncing, connections are there but  it is not moving from the block i have mentioned. Do you have list of peers?

On the linux machine I entered slimcoin setgenerate true 8 (it's a maschine with 16 cores). From your experience, how long it takes until I get to mine a block?

Also, in the GUI wallet, there's an option about mining? Is that thing doing anything atm?

Thanks!

It should continue syncing after some time. If not try restarting slimcoind, this fixed it for me.

tried... no go

Get your hashes per sec with:
slimcoin gethashespersec

Current difficulty is 0.01059393, this is 0.01059393 * 2^32  (~46 mio) hashes on average required to mine a block.

Do you have list of peers?

I model it as a ratio of my hashrate to the network hashrate ...

You can do the arithmetic yourself by interrogating the daemon, e.g. on my laptop:

Code:

./slimcoind setgenerate true 1
./slimcoind getmininginfo

{
"blocks" : 859396,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.01022192,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : 1,
"hashespersec" : 387,
"networkghps" : 0.00019512,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

Letting Python handle the expression of my hashespersec as a proportion of total networkghps:

Code:

>>> 0.00019512 * 1000000000 / 387
504.1860465116279

I'm contributing one fivehundredth of the hash rate so on average I can expect somewhere around 1 block in 500. Slimcoin's block target rate is one block every 90 seconds, which is 40 an hour, so say 12 hours if I'm lucky and don't suffer too much latency from being out in the sticks.

I am getting some vicarious satisfaction from the Snow Leopard version, quietly ticking away on a 2012 vintage MacBook known for overheating at the slightest excuse (like being placed on a lap, f'rinstance). I burned 250 SLM out its wallet and just parked it. Doesn't stake much at all but it does (irregularly) get mint-by-burn blocks - last month (Dec) it got five mint-by-burn blocks in total, ranging between 14-17 SLM per block.

Also, in the GUI wallet, there's an option about mining? Is that thing doing anything atm?

Kind of. It exhibits the same problem as the others of its ilk (e.g. Chaincoin 0.9.2) in that settings don't appear to behave as expected/designed - when it can be persuaded to work it uses all cores+threads. When I get a round tuit, I'll raise an issue in the repos - if it hasn't already been raised.

Ahhh. I found this post in the old thread: the post in which the OP outlines his intention to merge slimcoin with the peercoin codebase - just for context.

My plans for the future: Slimcoin is a Peercoin fork. I tried to merge it with Novacoin before but Novacoin is too different of a project to be merged at this point. There is a project called Peerunity which is the more maintained and newer version of Peercoin. I will try to merge it into Slimcoin. I will obviously test the newly merged client but hopefully this merging will solve any bugs.

Cheers,

Graham

Well, gave it a try again, and after 38 minutes, no luck... It's most likely something on my part.

Nothing on your part. It's a bad build.

Ach. The app in that dmg was incorrectly linked to the BSD 4.8 lib instead of the 6.1 lib - which is why it couldn't open the addr.dat files created with BSD 6.1.

Download fixed.

Install, execute & synch all checked on OSX Sierra.

gethashespersec returns zero. Auch. I suspect there's something I should do in the slimcoind.conf, but other than rpcuser and password I have nothing in it atm.

For some reason, it worked, here's what I have in getmininginfo on the linux machine

{
    "blocks" : 859892,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 0.01151753,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : 8,
    "hashespersec" : 1093,
    "networkghps" : 0.00033882,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "testnet" : false
}

According to the calculations above, I should get a block every 6 hours, at worst. I'll keep you posted.

On the Mac machine I had no luck, although I let it run for the whole night. Mining is shaky so I stopped it.

Is there any way to "tell it" setegenerate true 4 or whatever on the Mac?

1k hashes per second is quite low for 8 cores. What CPU is this?
