Hi All,

Any news about the test of the 0.5.2 version ?
Does it work as planned ?

K.

For me, it works well so far - although I didn't mint any PoS block yet. But Graham said PoS minting works well for him, so I believe it's because of my relatively small Slimcoin holdings, and that my "new" client is only online a few hours per day.

I have not tested the coin control features yet, should do this in the coming days.

Where can I find your latest source? Was there any change? Wallet at nova show some issue, can a dev tell what changes is required to keep wallet running >?

The latest source is the "develop" branch on the Slimcoin Github repo. It contains some changes with respect to Proof of Stake (consumes less CPU/RAM) and adds coin control to the GUI.

Hi all,
Would it be possible to get a windows version to test ?
(i tried to compile it myself but did not go so well...)

Thanks

K.

Graham has said he will try later in the future compile windows ver, I think.

So you have chances, that will receive binary, but don't hold your breath .

why there is no option in wallet "unlock wallet" and especially "unlock wallet for minting only" ?

why there is no option in wallet "unlock wallet" and especially "unlock wallet for minting only" ?

Because when Slimcoin was cloned (from Peercoin) the PoS scheme inherited was 1.0, i.e. coins stake even when the wallet is offline so an "unlocked for minting" option would be superfluous.

A move to PoS scheme 2.0 (coins have to be in an online wallet to stake) has been suggested a couple of times in the past but thus far no candidate implementation has been contributed.

Cheers

i mean PoB, not PoS
is what you said right for PoB too ?
and next question - i moved all my coins to a new wallet.dat because slimcoin-qt was often froze due too much inputs
"Net burn coins" are zero now
am i lost my burned amount ?
thanks

Yes.

am i lost my burned amount ?

Not if you still have the old wallet or the privkey for the address from which you sent SLM to the burn address.

i have only 4 addresses in old wallet
i imported 4 privkeys into new one and now i have only about a half of effective burnt coins instead of old wallet
i don't understand this

You probably have to start slimcoin-qt with the "-rescan" option (Do a backup of wallet.dat first, just to be sure.)

I think with respect to the locked wallet problem there is a misunderstanding between you and Graham - coins "accrue" stake in Slimcoin's PoS while the wallet is offline, but you obviously cannot find blocks while you're offline.

There is an option to unlock your coins in the debug window:

Code:

walletpassphrase YOUR_PASSPHRASE TIME_TO_UNLOCK true

Obviously, replace "YOUR_PASSPHRASE" and "TIME_TO_UNLOCK" by the time in seconds you want to unlock your wallet. Most people select a very high value like 999999 if they want to mint for some time. The "true" at the end unlocks the wallet only for minting.

Novaexchange's Slimcoin wallet is now out of maintenance and their BTC/SLM market is open for trading.

there is no misunderstanding between me and Graham
i have new unlocked wallet with all my amount online constantly
i imported to new wallet 4 addresses from which i burned coins (from old wallet) and i see that new EffectiveBurnedCoins is a about a half by earlier
misunderstanding is in this fact
thanks

Fine, I thought there were one. If you want to encrypt your wallet and unlock it for minting only (PoB or PoS) you can simply use the command I posted, in the debug window.

Have you tried the -rescan option already? Every time I had problems with EffectiveBurnCoins it fixed my problem ...

@gjhiggins: Cool, good news
