i dont mean to sound snarky

Ahem...

 

but it galls me when people make blanket statements like that without proper research or FACTS

I joined Poloniex the first day they traded, I was there when they got hacked, I know the people who run it and I can tell you that they are very jealous of their reputation... Soil will not be on there any time soon. Oh, and it wasn't a "blanket statement", I was being very specific about SOIL and Poloniex, nothing else.

 

as SOIL continues to improve, both in market capitalization and blockchain built contracts, other exchanges will accept us easily

Isn't this what I said?

I'm not trying to bring a downer on here, I am just stating the obvious.

Do I sound snarky now?

[m4nki]

something i stumbled across:

https://www.ethernodes.org/network/42

this shows SOILs overall nodes. not a lot of pretty data, but interesting nonetheless

Interesting, thanks for that!

Working on Final Details of ROKOS v5 Flavors, will start uploading in the next hours to get it ready for Release.

Coins Included in this coming Release: BTC, OK, BLK/BC, GMC, DMD, DGC, ERC, ENRG, SOIL, METAL, TX, MOJO.

Check http://rokos.space/downloads.html for the downloads tomorrow I hope.

[crazyearner]

Hoping the hash power eventually starts to increase on here and gets the notice that it needs. Surprised to see it been around 6 months and not noticed it early on but got me a fair share of coins minted and stocked for the future. Hoping to see that this does prevail and comes up in the ranks and maybe someday sees the top 20 What are the next updates for this. Are they going to be any new miner software come out than the current one out for this algo or any modded versions?

ROKOS v5 "flavors" Screen Shots

"ROKOS" Initial Setup

1.- Download and Burn the ROKOS Image to a micro SD Card like you would with any other Pi Distro.
March 01 2016
ROKOS v5 "flavors" - DOWNLOAD

Steps for first boot

*Raspberry Pi 2:
User: pi / Password: raspberry , follow normal setup.

a) Type: sudo raspi-config
b) Set your Time Zone, change your pi user password and Expand the file system, restart.
After restart the system you can type:  "startx"   to start the user desktop.
c) System ready for use.

Welcome to the ROKOS Desktop

Final steps / BTC and OK Clients

a) Go to Menu > Internet and Click on your favorite Cryptocurrency Wallet

This will open the Cryptocurrency wallet and start sync.

*For some Cryptocurrencies the initial sync might take some days, wallets are fully usable after being fully Synchronized.

b) Always remember to make constant backups of your wallets and save them in USB or external media.

Use your wallets in ROKOS to plug HW and mine, Send/Receive, Stake, Share,
become a full node and support your favorite Cryptocurrency network, develop new applications,
etc, the limit is only in your imagination.


Important Security Notice:
*) Remember to create a backup for your Wallets, you can use the wallets to create them and save in different folders on a USB device.
You should ALWAYS have a backup of your wallet, Raspberry Pi Hardware, Raspbian and ROKOS Software are under development hence not responsible for missuses, electrical or compatibility issues that might cause a loss of information. It is as secure as one's ability to take care for it, same as a computer, so always have a backup of your wallets on an external device.

*) Some people tend to recommend getting a 128Gb MicroSD HC (High speed) , at the same time it does work, I do not recommend this solution, as microSD cards tend to get corrupted by the number of overwrites, to ensure the best functionality and security you should use an external HDD/USB storage device to store the chains.

You can start testing and developing new integration with ROKOS and your favorite cryptocurrencies for your IoT projects.

That would be nice updates of any kind. But new miner software would be awesome.

[abvhiael]

more about smart contracts and SOIL.

as ive talked about before, the most important feature behind the ethereum virtual machine built upon the SOILcoin blockchain is the scalability of the smart contracts and dApps that will be built upon it. our singular focus, from before our genesis, has been to build an ecosystem to provide for renewable energy, autonomous agriculture and scientific computational needs. being that the technology has only really been in the public domain for a little under seven months, growth of the dAppshere has been growing exponentially. the benefit of open source projects for the majority of these dApps makes it a goldmine for repurposing what has already been built towards the blueprint strategy behind SOIL.

building, deploying, interacting with smart contracts is getting easier by the day. protocols for segments of the EVM are gathering concretion, the subcurrency standard is well defined, work towards two-way pegged sidechain interaction, while still a future ideal, grows nearer to realization, Casper (the PoS project towards Ethereum) has strong definition as a fault tolerant architecture with sharding and is closer than ever, the upcoming release of Homestead on ETH will reduce gas prices and bring more focus onto the subprotocols of Swarm and Whisper (both of which will be incredibly important features for SOIL going forward).

the global community is now waking up to what the EVM is capable of, with varied projects such as the German power company RWE announcing their pilot project to implement electric-car charging  stations using smart contracts on teh blockchain to authenticate users and simplify the billing process, to smart meters and microgrids using Ethereum to provide and distribute renewable energy.

so, where does that leave us with SOILcoin? we have been flying under the radar a bit, which is good for the longterm and sustainable growth of our project. a measured adoption scenario compared to the anarchy-sandbox of ethereum will help us maintain a clear vision and focused architecture towards what we have envisioned building. many of the pieces needed to build the framework towards these goals are starting to come into place.

ive been very regularly watching the smart contract development projects that are going on. for the last month, ive worked very hard on SOIL-ex, based off of EtherEx, for a decentralized exchange. it is running live on the main net, with btcswap (btcrelay) built in allowing BTC->SOIL interaction. ive been playing around with schelling coins to peg value against hard and soft commodities to present an ersatz commodity exchange, and testing it as best as i can before releasing it publicly. ive also been looking at how to integrate something like atomicswap (SOIL->BTC) as the other side of the sidechain peg into SOIL-ex. presently, its a token (subcurrency) exchange market, which in and of itself is a useful tool, but not yet what i envisioned, thus work continues. ive also released a different purposing of the project as ETHERsweeps on the Ethereum blockchain for anonymous sportsline gambling. it also is live, and public, presently accepting wagers against the outcomes of the UEFA Champions and Europa League tournaments. more of a test of concept, really, but with the possibility of monetization with which further direct investment can be achieved into SOILcoin.

there are TONS of other projects that can and SHOULD be built into SOIL. http://dapps.ethercasts.com/ , the :State of the Dapps: page has innumerable projects on teh go that provide a great deal of ideas, as does the hack.ether.camp page. (i only wish more hackathons were showing off the projects built). simple searching on the github site for "smart contract" or "dapp" presents een more ideas for simple contracts which can be compiled (see my previous post on that subject) and deployed.

so, those concepts which ill be working on, and encourage others to familiarize themselves with and work with, are quite varied. it gets difficult to choose just ONE project to build and rebrand.

one such project, which isnt open source, but the IDEA behind it is what matters, is Provenance. essentially, what they are hoping to provide is a "digital history" on the blockchain for product manufacturing, what they term "supply chain transparency". building from that idea towards SOIL, and our intended end-user audience, this sort of idea can be implemented in a few ways. t

firstly, to follow the food chain. beyond the movement towards local sourcing, there is now becoming the desire to know WHERE our food comes from. to understand not only HOW their food is made, but how it gets from "farm to fork". take the food adulteration scandal in europe during 2013 as an example. foods labelled as beef products were found to contain pork or horse meat as well. neither of those things are harmful to our health as it were, but cultural taboos and religious prohibitions against those products is a deeply inbred attitude. the POSSIBILITY of inclusion of phenylbutazone (used for sports horses, not acceptable for consumption) or contamination in the horse meat of EIP (equine infectious anemia) has contributed to the EUs recommendation to label processed meat products with the origins.

secondly, to follow seed genetics. a growing movement against genetically modified seedstock for foods has pushed the need for heirloom seed varieties. the push for proper labeling of GMO has been strong, both for and against. but the safety of our food chain is something that has for a long time been ignored and nearly impossible to track.

using unique identifiers (SOIL addresses) coupled with data storage (thru an ipfs gateway or when it becomes available and working, Swarm) with built in "single-token" transferable representations of specific livestock suppliers or seed batches, can build up a chain of custody that is verifiable through the blockchain, building trust for the foods and seedstocks that choose to be "certified" via provenance on teh SOILcoin blockchain.

dApps similar to StudBook can be reformatted to present lineage arguments, with thoroughbred horses, breeds of livestock, and even CRC registered purebred cats and dogs for that matter. again, using "single token" identifiers that are transferable in ownership, with references to direct familial descent would provide unalterable records of livestock ownership and origin.

InsureETH which brings flight insurance to the blockchain could be scaled towards providing crop insurance and risk management services, although these would require off-chain (i.e. HUMAN) arbiters.

renewable energy projects such as john lilic's "TransActiveGrid" can be built to provide economic subsidies for microgrid green energy producers,  and projects such as PyWind (to record wind farm data) and SolPy (measuring, modelling and predicting solar energy system performance) will be able to be built into the blockchain. these sorts of contracts would be interactive with other dApps, providing the gateway for intensive computations at a fraction of the cost incurred thru cloud subscription services. PyTough can be used to simulate geothermal resevoirs; applications to model thermochemical biomass pyrolysis used to produce bio-oil which can then be upgraded to gasoline/diesel grade fuels can be built and referenced.

many of these sorts of applications are already built using the Python programming language, which is the "cousin" of Serpent, one of the native Ethereum programming languages. pyethapp (which contains the pyethereum python core library) and dApp development frameworks such as pyepm are making it easier to port these sorts of projects into ethereum.

SolEther, a project stemming out from the IoT and Blockchain hackathon in London in December is designed to provide electrical energy in exchange for ETH (for charging ones cell phone, etc), theres literally no end to what can be built onto the SOILcoin blockchain NOW. never mind the basic needs such as sturdy and secure ipfs gateways, understandable oracle services, etc.

over the next few months, ill be working on these sorts f projects and would welcome the assistance and brain storming with others interested in building SOILcoin into the renewable energy/etc etc provider of the future. id love to hear what YOU think about the sorts of smart contracts that would fit on the SOILcoin infrastructure.

Nice board, we got the suggestion to build ROKOS for it not long ago, will add it to the que of supported devices.

ROKOS is debian Jessie based, coming up versions for Raspberry Pi 3 and PINE64+.

[soil]

Just to clarify again the certain state: You are going to fork Homestead upon release, right?

We have already included the Homestead improvements to SOIL.
The Homestead hardfork is scheduled for block 1150000 in Ethereum.
Any time soon, we will see if all went well for Ethereum and then we decide the blocknumer for SOIL to switch.

As Ethereum still struggles with finding a date for shifting from PoW to PoS, how are you doing it with Soil?

Let Casper grow up and we can think about it.

in the interests of full transparency, which we have always held ourselves to, i hve had to empty my developers funds due to a family emergency. my daughter had a miscarriage, and right now, she needs family. so, ive cashed out my developers wallet and sold what was there in order to send her the money for gas to drive from alberta to here in nova scotia. it simply became the last option i had in order to help her out. she's been pretty devastated, and is bringing my grandkids out for some time with me, just to get some time to heal her head and heart.

i hope that you guys dont get too upset over my having to use my developers wallet in such a way. its sat for a long time, and i had no intention of selling those funds, but i really didnt have a choice. im on a military pension and bring in barely enough for rent, bills, gas and groceries in a month, and aside from selling my fender bass guitar that ive had for thirty years, i also tried selling my very old collection of hockey cards as well, to no avail. she will be bringing with her the video cards my little brother had been using (he's quite the gamer and just upgraded to the radeon 300 series) so ill be using those to mine and replace my developers fund as quickly as i can when i get that installed.

i dont make any money from SOIL, and this wasnt a case of wanting to do that. i work with SOIL for the love of the project and my belief in it and what we can make it. i did manage to pour myself into retooling the OP blurb over the last few days, and am writing a guide related to the Homestead changes from ETH that we will be looking at, as well as an updated roadmap. this coming week, ill also be releasing SOIL-ex to the community as well. its not everything i want it to be right now, but as a token marketplace and exchange, it does its job very well. ill be writing up a users guide for that as well when i do release it.

again, i hope that i dont anger anyone for having used my dev wallet. trust me, i feel guilty enough as it is for having to use it. i will be replacing those funds as quickly as i will be able to.

You should offer your soil here. Some of us would take them. Now...
