need china market!!!

SOIL on yuanbaohui.com 25 december

china is a HUGE market, and something ive looked at way back when. something ive had difficulty in doing, the google translations of sites leaves much to be desired, as is generally the case (its worse reading scientific papers on archaeology in sweeden, though.. thats an exercise in both futility and abject silliness) if you have suggestions for particular markets, that would need personal developer attention to realize assimilation of SOIL into, let me know. id love to have a new market opened to us.

ive got a few projects going on here that're keeping me crazy busy right now... rewriting the soilcoin website to reflect where we are now rather than where we were before launch; writing ANOTHER website to serve as documentation for the decentralized exchange that *IS* live and being tested and refined right now as well as building/deploying the other contracts that will need to be integrated into the overall system to fully implement the features i want to have on it (likely mid-january when we can release that, at the earliest); helping with the testing and debugging of our smart contract toolkit application (it works with developing/deploying/interacting with solidity contracts seamlessly right now, but its still somewhat CLUNKY)... the bigger and more featured that application, the more bugs there are to squash with impunity and steel toed boots.

happy winter solstice to all!

i want to start mining for SOIL. What is the best and most recommendable multipool for mining SOIL? Thanks!

our officially hosted SOILpool is up and running at http://45.63.4.165:5000/
use a .bat file in your folder with ethminer like the following to connect:

Code:

ethminer.exe -F 45.63.4.165:5082/miner/ADDRESS/HASRATE IN MH/S -G 

for example:
ethminer.exe -F 45.63.4.165:5082/miner/0x123458237b2e362e67280160667e1bd5dabcdef/25 -G
*where 25 Mh/s = 25000KHS*

there is a 3% pool fee, 50% of which is used to help cover the VPS costs with vultr, where we are hosting the pool. we will also be implementing a "miners equity subsidy" program, where once a week, miners with a >51% connectivity and hashrate <25Mh/s over a weekly period will take an equal share in half of the pool fees, which is our VERY SMALL way of trying to help democratize the mining process for folks who are using a single video card of whatever hashspeed.

its not a PRETTY pool, but its effective and running smoothly with pretty much immediate payouts upon each round's completion.

and thanks for the development update abvhiael, 

sounds like alot of good things in process for soil.
we are a tiny, slim market now, but im sure once some things are being developed for soil, it can move fast.

(laughs) oh, we NEVER rest here at SOILcoin. both peter and i truly believe in the platform and what can be built with it. while neither Ethereum or ourselves have launched the "killer app" that will bring us WAY into the mainstream, we *DO* have some ideas that could see fruition by 2nd quarter of 2016 that will make some waves... a tiny market right now actually helps us, but naturally, we are constantly seeking further market availability and saturation... remember if you want us on YOUR favorite exchanges, write them and let THEM know what theyre missing out on (chuckles)

Progress: ABEESOIL

Here is a preview of the ported block explorer,
it summarizes the whole chain until the last block.

For everything else what you'll get,
see images in theABEE post.

Hey guys.

I am really happy to be contributing here.


Progress report: Today and yesterday ... I worked on

• porting ABEE to SOIL (= the negotiated milestone 2, now) - which is largely done, and
• extending ABEE with the "all transactions in this block" function (freebie), and ...
  
  
• already asking questions to ethereum experts (for the future milestone 3).

All takes longer than expected. Whew. I shall not think of hourly rates *g*

As it is xmas preparation times, I am not sure when I can continue to do the
very last steps - to put it online available for all of you. I hope very soon.
But my own perfectionism wants that everything is right before I publish :-)


Thanks to everyone who contributed money! Much much appreciated.

If you also want to contribute, here is the address that Abvhiael is escrowing until I have delivered:

with regards to altsheets' crowdfunding initiative for porting his ABEE block explorer platform to SOIL,
he has asked me to act as escrow for those funds that have been pledged to him, releasable when
he has finished porting it over. i have set up an escrow account at:
0x63f671d9fc32d310175b0b56cf900f228fc78161
and will hold on to those funds until ABEE is set up for us.

Thx a lot.  You are great people!

Happy winter solstice (04:48 UTC)!

Done 

Enjoy ...

Do you know your way around with eth based coins?
There are some useful JSRE console commands at the bottom of my linux post.

Sending works like this:

Code:

eth.sendTransaction({
from: "0x3f106029481716e04a10fefd0071a82d485cf2ab",
to: "0x8da4fc05ca343e6a41646194e91931d9f413a40c",
value: web3.toWei( 1.042, "soil")
})

were you able to actually confirm and get SOIL included there? if so, massive hero cookies to you my friend. and likely a decent bounty. (laughs) i had a chance to look at the site, and while google translate makes things... interesting (DOGE="dog currency" for example) it looks like a good site, healthy volumes for BTC. SOIL marked against the yuan is also intriguing (presently .02 yuan/SOIL) but the idea of opening against that large of a market, asia, is amazing.

what would SOIL translate into in chinese? im simply curious. also, are you conversant in chinese, because itd be great to have our "white paper" (i.e.:the main page and FAQ at the website, whichis being edited right now) translated into chinese. the agricultural industry there is HUGE and would be a great benefit to begin to make inroads there. toss me a PM if youd like and we can discuss that further.

one thing, though.. getting listed on some of the exchanges that hadnt hosted ETH-offset cryptocurrencies before seemed to have issues in implementing our wallet onto their system. there was one exchange from eastern europe that had nothing but troubles before he gave up. others, of course, had it easy peasy. if they have any problems setting up SOIL on their exchange, have them contact peter ("soil") or myself either here, or they can reach me on my personal email "abvhiael@live.ca" as well.

i noticed you had also mentioned poloniex as a favoured exchange awhile back, ive written them a few times but response to tickets for currency inclusion on these exchanges isnt much of a priority for many sites. a short note to them, if you are a user there, requesting our addition, would go a long ways. most exchanges are looking for that... a community that wants to see us listed with them rather than just hearing from us.

im VERY happy with bittrex, ritchie has been a wealth of information and understanding, especially as we have been getting this fork cemented so that proper implementation of the vote results are carried thru. anyhow... thanks again!

[altsheets]

what would SOIL translate into in chinese?

perhaps

ní tǔ 
泥 土

?

I have found this image for tǔ (earth) and this image for ní (mud).


But ... I am not a native speaker

wallet no sincr .........block 320.000

did you update your SOIL wallet package before that point? the new packages that take the hard fork into account at that threshold are available for download on the OP. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.msg12385424#msg12385424)

I saw a 6 minutes block

is this okay?

Yes, the chain is adjusting at the moment so we are getting closer to our final 1 min blocktime.

Everything went smoothly.

[GoldenEye]

Block time is in the target range, fine.

Proposal for stats.soilcoin.xyz:
Would be nice to see the "Avg. block time" and "Last block time" in seconds instead of minutes.

Edit: For periods less than 2 minutes

About 580MB at the moment.
