YES, www.Cryptopia.co.nz is on the latest build too!

So we really are in business.

is this something to worry about?

Good that thing you asked, instead of jumping to a conclusion right away! (It was done that way before actually.)

And no, this subject has allready come about, and it has been investigated and debunked:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1168909.msg12307504#msg12307504

Mainly there is the Bitcoinminer part build in (remember the false alerts that minerD gave?) that triggers some scanner heuristics (analytic prediction part). Also the former used IRC IP announcement part is something that can trigger it. The last one could trigger a 'trojan' suspection alert, but mainly due to ultra sensitive scanner heuristics technology.

This 'dead' IRC-IP announcing code should be removed in an upcoming update, as it is not used anymore. And then that trigger would be gone too. But in essence there is no harm there and certainly it is all but a 'trojan'. That is the software that alerts it to blame, really.

Now again, this debunks most, except those of McAfee, so, I went to their website and started to search:
http://www.mcafee.com/apps/search/default.aspx?q=Artemis%21D3513FD20A9E

No results found for the given search criteria.
Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.

Sorry McAfee? Or is it again an engine that is outdated?
In some way or another I consider McAfee a kind of annoyance ware myself. Because it gets installed with every crapy piece of software on Windows, disturbing every other software allready on the machine. (Well, when I still used Windows that is...)

Same goes for terms like: "potentially unsafe" used by ESET-NOD32. But on the other hand, that is heuristics trying to guess at numbers and figures. So what should be a good term. Or maybe they should investigate after that?

It is potentially unsafe to cross the street, or to eat food, or drink fluids, but I do not have a better description either...

Then the ViRobot from http://www.globalhauri.com/ again, went there, and searched for the one that the virustotal site named. And the result? Can you guess? Yep!

Not Found Data!

The only reason I can think of that VirusTotal comes with this useless, and wrong, data is that they use outdated online scanners. And that is not them to blame, but the companies that service their online scanners to them.

Hope that this can be considered debunked, again. Had tested it myself in Windows XP running in VirtualBox, because I use GNU-Linux. And also WINE had a go at it. While I have several security software running. Also watched typical folders for suspicious behaviour etc. etc.

But in the end it is you who decides to use a certain piece of software or not.

Slothcoin is clean and good to go though!

When you use the latest version, 1.3.1 build 3, the active nodes are build in. The reason there are only two, sometimes three, nodes available is because they are the only ones with open ports. If you want more connections you are strongly advised to open / forward your external ports to your local computer.

This is only possible, if you are behind a router / modem, if you know how to port-forward. It means you'll need a static local IP for the PC on which you are using Slothcoin. Otherwise you could not port forward an outside connection to an inside one. On the modem /router you'd have to use the Slothcoin port. And then forward that you your local one.

Also it will take a while before connections are build up, even if you have port-forwarded / allowed Slothcoin on your firewall. There is no hole-punching, so the only way to get connections through your router/modem/firewall is to set it yourself.

Multifaucet has the right data available: http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=SLOTH&network_info

(Cryptopia is allready on 1.3.1 build 3 too, but the coin data is still outdated.)

[oldambtster]

By the way.

If you want some SLOTH in your SlothCoin v1.3.1 build Wallet, then Multifaucet has a great faucet that will give you a 1000 SLOTH every 12 hours! http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?faucet=SLOTH

And again, there is only 1 peer left using the outdated version, the rest has moved slothy towards the new version, so get yours now: http://slick.cf/coin/sloth/download/

It gets you new connections, a 100% faster difficulty adaption and a POW reward system that will go way into 2021!

Use the fork and may the Sloth be with you!

Hey I just stumbled across this coin, is this coin still available to mine? my CPU is Intel i5 4670 @ 3.4GHz, and my GPU is a single AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, For other coins (such as TurboStake, just launched a few days ago) I tried mining with "setgenerate true 4" with a difficulty of 1.25 (on Sha-256d) and I only got about 1k coins within 1 day.

Hi, this is a Keccak/SHA3 coin and the new version is mine-able way into the year 2021.
Do not know how high the MHashes are you can manage. Currently there is about 390 MHashing power at Slothcoin.

There is a pool using version 1.3.1 build 3, you can find all the info at the first page of this forum item:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1168909.0

At this moment difficulty is about 12. Blocktimes are too fast now, so I expect it to go up. Rewards per block are now 10.000 SLOTH. And they will drop soon to 4321 SLOTH per found block, which will go on for years to come.

You'll need miner software that is Keccak/SHA3 compatible, if it fits for MaxCoin (sgminer for instance), it will do nicely.

According to what I've read you could easily solo-mine Slothcoin with any HD7970 bursting 400MHs/s. Which would mean you'd get a lot of SLOTH a day.

Cannot give you the exact settings or how to set up the right software, but when you search for maxcoin and mining you'll find what you need to get mining.

Good luck!

[oldambtster]

we need more nodes.

There are at least 2 nodes 24/7 available that have the right port open/forwarded. Off course there are more nodes welcome that do the same. Nodes that open/forward their TCP 5107 port really help the Slothcoin network and will also notice that they can connect to a lot more other nodes after a while.

Sloth we go!

[thimo]

If needed i may be able to get some extra nodes too

All the viri, really...?!

Ask first, would be nice, and please stop jumping to conclusions!
Even better, read the whole topic, use the search function, because this has allready has been debunked, twice!
With a lot of information that would help you actually understand why these are false flags.

Keccak/SHA3 is what me got into this. 

Looking into Bitnodes: https://github.com/ayeowch/bitnodes/wiki/Provisioning-Bitcoin-Network-Crawler
And https://bitnodes.21.co/

Maybe it can be put to good use for Slotcoin, thanks!

Broth LTC and DASH are treaten by Cryptsy same. You cannot withdrawl any of them.
Hence why people buy MAPC oin Cryptsy then dump on Bittrex and we loose price

BTC withdrawal costs 2 days. Actually if you withdraw, you have to wait until somebody
else has deposit some of the btc or altcoin. I guess big problems on cryptsy, be warned.
