addpeers.js  and  altsheets.js JSRE

... running a soil wallet in windows ...

To make that easier, I have now created




a new function in the blockexplorer:



When you press "download as addpeers.js", you'll get the peernodes as a file.
Also see ABEESOIL thread.




.BAT windows batch files = just doubleclick

See README.md in the github repo.  In short:

Download ZIP archive, and unpack all files into folder where your gsoil.exe lives
(in the video minute 01:15 to 01:20).



Good?

[AndreasKrueger]

Hi, unfortunately I am not a crypto dev - did just some basic (scientific) programming. Probably not of much help in this area.

Even though basic, you are a coder, good. Helpful for many things.

However I would be willing to run a 24/7 node according to Andreas' tutorials.

Great. Any flaws in those tutorials, please report them. Thanks.

I would also donate some SOIL or BTC to Abvhiael if he decides to continue with his work for SOIL...!

Great. Who has been able to get in contact with him?


About your node, and everyone's nodes:

NETSTATS

I have recently learned how to set up cubedro's "eth-netstats", and then connect a "eth-net-intelligence-api" client to it.

The public dashboard looks like this:



I offer to set it up for SOIL - but only IF -->

--> people now say:
        YES, I am running or am going to run a node, and
        YES, I am going to get the client for netstats set up.
               (Not very difficult, you just need to install node and then work through a few steps.)


So, who is in?

[skunk]

So, who is in?

me...

[cryptococcus]

I am also in 

Purchased the VPS and set up the nodes (testnet and mainnet), which was quite straightforward using the tutorials.
@Andreas: not sure how to keep the node running though. After typing 'gsoiltestnet js ~/SOIL/testnetpeers.js > ~/SOIL/testnet-log.txt 2>&1 &' there is no prompt to 'exit'. Is the process still running when I close the terminal window?

Purchased the VPS and set up the nodes (testnet and mainnet), which was quite straightforward using the tutorials.

Good. And - how does it feel, to be controlling your own cloud machines now?

not sure how to keep the node running though. After typing 'gsoiltestnet js ~/SOIL/testnetpeers.js > ~/SOIL/testnet-log.txt 2>&1 &' there is no prompt to 'exit'.

After an ampersanded (&) command, you get the prompt back in the shell. Latest, when you press enter then.


You can study it by greping all processes for "gsoil" or "gsoiltestnet". And by looking at the tail of the logfile:

Code:

ps aux | grep gsoil

tail -n 100 -f ~/SOIL/testnet-log.txt

End that neverending (-f) logfileprinting with Ctrl-C.

The

Code:

2>&1

redirects the stderr to stdout.

And then both end up into that same logfile.

And the

Code:

 &

makes the process hand back the control, so you can continue in your shell.

Is the process still running when I close the terminal window?

I guess so. Just log out, and log back in, and use the above ps command - and you'll see if that is the case.

If not, (please tell us, and then) run it with nohup. I.e.:

Code:

nohup gsoiltestnet js ~/SOIL/testnetpeers.js > ~/SOIL/testnet-log.txt 2>&1 &

See https://linux.die.net/man/1/nohup


cryptococcus called it "straightforward using the tutorials".  Happy to hear that.   Anyone else also wanna try now?

[cryptococcus]

Thanks for your reply. Running a VPS feels great 

This should be the nodes running on the VPS:

Testnet
enode://293a24490f56c1687f94b7e550ee3099bf96e646723aa902eedd7f9a679a9dbb26d346b4584e0776f7bcd61e3ca4098913cb97718f0224f9147eb9d46540ef57@51.15.130.241:39340
Mainnet
enode://36667a60f555c254957b56aca013b507bb9e2a2f7b2484be7c70471dee268492907a11ee00329af761574ae2be57562660b95738654a2ca96bcf8ae88974033f@51.15.130.241:39420

I will be away from home until beginning of next week. Any news from Abvhiael??

[frostminer]

Is there a place to store Soil coins? Bittrex will delist so where can you store Soil coins? Can someone explain it please? Is there an active wallet? Don't have a lot but still you never know what will happen in Crypto so it would be nice to park them somewhere

Yes, just download soilsafe and synch up.

But to survive i think some exchange will be needed.

Anyone got any contact with dev?

[Dunkelheit667]

So, who is in?

YES, just setup a node on a Raspberry Pi.
YES, as long as the client will run on a Raspberry Pi as well.

[RKS]

Ok, we will see. And is there an active wallet that actually works? A place to store these coins, while the developer team resurrects and breaths life into these seemly dead coins? But seriously, is there a wallet that actually works? If not- full on dead coin, and dream on.  

Theyre trying to finish the work and, when when this is over and done with, get back to ur silly ass and address ur concern. Maybe they will develop a special wallet for u named RKS and put a snapshot of ur face onto a splash screen, thereby u can masturbate to ur face each time u boot the wallet.

Wow aren't you a douche bag. Thanks for the response- sorry you lost a shit load on this coin.

Respect to the developers who are trying to finish a wallet. Enjoy your day.

[AndreasKrueger]

Thanks for your reply. Running a VPS feels great  

Yes, and you can do so much more with it! Try this (untested as little time until tomorrow, but approx like that):

Code:

sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/me
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/me
echo "hello world" > /var/www/html/me/hello.txt

Then open your browser at  
http://your.ip.address.here/me/ or at
http://your.ip.address.here/me/hello.txt

Just one example ...

P.S.: the chmod 777 is dangerously unsafe, but it circumvents access rights problems, until you have learned more about users, groups, chmod, and chown.

[AndreasKrueger]

During the past week (and year), I have really really tried my best. Not only to re-awaken this thread and community here, but I also worked "behind the scenes" to convince bittrex, to please give us a second chance:


REQUEST #... SOIL WANTS TO LIVE ON

Andreas January 19, 2017 19:49

Hi Bittrex!

SOIL is targeted towards ecological and agricultural smart contracts.

I own a considerable amount of SOIL, because I think this new alternative finance world we are all creating together needs to include the REAL problems of our doomed species - and to not only make the (minority of) selfish people happy who want to get rich quickly.
Don't you sometimes think so too? I do.

That is why long ago I have invested a considerable amount of my hard earned money into SOIL.

Now you have decided to remove SOIL, and that announcement alone destroyed ~ 2/3 of the value of this (already much undervalued) currency, of my personal coins, and everyone else's coins.

Of course, I understand that Bittrex' motivation and intention in the cryptospace is to make money with trading fees - and as SOIL has had a difficult time recently, there was not much volume traded.

Acknowledged.

However, SOIL is in a special situation as it has only you as a trading platform: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/soilcoin/#markets

So if you go forward with this decision, in you will kill SOIL in 8 days from now.

Is there anything we can do about this?

What e.g. would happen if the trading volume went up?

The volume has already gone up to many many thousands of dollars in the past 36 hours. Doesn't that make you happy already?

Where would be your threshold?
Above which you say: "Alright, we have sympathy with this little player, and we will not kill it now just yet - let's give it another 6 months"

Or what else could be done to help you reconsider your decision?

Thanks a lot for taking your time, and perhaps taking this leap of faith.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Greets from London! We have blockchainweek and blockchainexpo here next week, very exciting.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi,

All coins must meet minimum requirements to remain listed - https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202583874-Bittrex-Market-Removal-Policy-Updated-09-17-16

Thank you,

Thank you,

Ryan @ Bittrex

Andreas January 20, 2017 09:33

Thanks a lot for your answer, Ryan.

When I switch https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-SOIL to
"1W", on "01-13-2017" I can see a total volume of "1.71M", which at an
average price of 200 Satoshi leads to 3.42 Bitcoin, divided by 7 -->
0.488571 Bitcoin per day. That is 0.5 BTC, right?

Please tell us the BTC value of the total trades of the past week, so
that we know for sure.

Could please change the sentence "This market is being removed on Friday
January 27th, 2017." to
"This market is being removed on Friday January 27th, 2017, unless it
has at least 3.5 BTC total volume traded within 7 days"

So ... there is hope. What a relief.
So much work, money, and enthusiasm has been going into this little coin.

Please do not kill all that with one click.

Thanks!
Have a good day!

Andreas

HI,

It looks like SOIL is being removed. Please make sure to withdrawal your coins.

Thank you,

Ryan

Andreas Sunday at 13:52

Thanks for your answer, Ryan.

So what you are saying is that

* sufficient volume is approx reached - but you still want to kill the
coin?
* so there must be other reasons why it is removed.

Please tell me specifically: *Which are the other reasons?*

Your suggestion to withdraw the coins is vain. Because SOIL is only on
one exchange - yours. So YOU would KILL this coin, and the community
that has formed around it. And you also kill the good idea, to connect
selfish cryptocurrencies with altruistic ecology.

Please reconsider. There is a new team forming right now. Check out the
thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.new#new

Will anyone of you be on the blockchainweek.com on Monday and Tuesday?

Thanks a lot.
Andreas

Ryan Hentz Sunday at 16:34

Hi,

Bittrex only facilitates the trading of a coin. A coins life exists outside of Bittrex as well. SOIL is being removed per the note at the top of the page.

Thank you,

Ryan

Andreas Monday at 00:17

> SOIL is being removed per the note at the top of the page.
Yes.

I have understood that.

What is the specific reason, is my question.

Thanks
Andreas

Ryan Hentz Monday at 00:38

Hi,

The coin has not shown enough interest to remain listed. Please withdrawal your funds.

Thank you,

Ryan

Andreas Monday at 23:35

Ryan, thanks!

Please give us some more time - and then feel free to kill us, if
nothing substantial has happened.

> The coin has not shown enough interest to remain listed.
"Interest" for you means "trading volume in BTC" - right?

Please sum up the BTC volume since you made the "is being removed"
announcement.

There has considerable trading happened now. Don't your euthanasia
criteria on that webpage of yours say 2.1 BTC or 3.5 BTC per week?

And in your frontend interface, doesn't the B: ______ mean bitcoins?

We are at ~3.38 BTC in 6 days now.
No need to close down the only marketplace where SOIL is traded -
because would kill the coin for sure.

And please please please do me only one favor - check out the newest ~20
posts of the the thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.new#new
The activity there really looks like a new team is forming.

And IF you are really delisting us now, then you would also kill that
new enthusiasm.

Please reconsider.

Thanks,
Andreas

Ryan Hentz Tuesday at 04:34

Soil was flagged because the community is dead and there is no active work being done to the coin. This coin will be removed and will not return unless there is active development and community interest.

Thank you,

Ryan

Even though I really wanted to believe we had a chance, in the end I had rage-quit, and sold my coins at a huge loss. I have 0 SOIL now.
If you have no use for your SOIL coins anymore, please send them here:
[SOIL] 0x82e6fac28f2c0d89b442f4b7c0d72fa47c54efa7  (I had written beautiful manuals, but the balance of that donation address is still 0)

A sad day for ecology. But ... ETH and SOIL are PoW coins, and trying to marry PoW and ecology ... may become a stupid relationship anyways, I guess. So perhaps a good day for ecology?

[MB2016]

This was an ambitious project. What work needs to be done to get this coin relisted or listed elsewhere?  Sending 10k your way Andreas. 

[AndreasKrueger]

During the past week (and year), I have really really tried my best. Not only to re-awaken this thread and community here, but I also worked "behind the scenes" to convince bittrex, to please give us a second chance:
REQUEST #... SOIL WANTS TO LIVE ON
...

Long story short:

• The coin was on one exchange, and when that sole exchange closes the only market, a coin is literally dead.
• The hangman was a merciless executioner.
• bittrex has earned money via trading fees, while SOIL was going up to 128,000 USD coinmarketcap;
  to understand that better, I manually summed up approximately the "more than 1000 USD volume per day" sums,
  and my estimate is a total trading volume of 100,000 USD since SOIL entered bittrex,
  so bittrex has earned 0.25% * 2 (buy and sell) * 100k USD = approx 500 USD. Correct me if I am wrong.
  Related to the work time they had to invest, that is not even much money, so I understand them too.
• I have not only invested a lot of time into this, but also lost a lot of money - like many of us I suppose. What a pity.
  
• A sad day for ecology because an ecology oriented coin got killed.
  But ... ETH and SOIL are PoW coins, and trying to marry PoW and ecology ... may become a stupid relationship anyways, I guess.
  So perhaps it is even a good day for ecology?
• To continue with soil, means getting it onto another exchange. There are dozens of them.
  If you believe in it, please start contacting them now. Good luck.

For situation summary, see previous ~20 posts: I have a working smart contract and an oracle running, and very good manuals. And 2 testnet servers which I'll switch off soon, unless I am paid not to.

If you want to continue, get a group together, then contact me please. I might become active again, when there is another exchange (promising to be) trading SOIL.

I have 0 SOIL now.
If you have no use for your SOIL coins anymore, please send them here:
[SOIL] 0x82e6fac28f2c0d89b442f4b7c0d72fa47c54efa7

[MB2016]

Lost a lot on this one too.  They can't all be winners.  But really thought this had potential.  The developer meant well, but like with many things the demands of life often get in the way of big ideas.

Wow.
Really dissapointed by the robotic generic answers of bittrex.


Ill keep a node and move the chain along for now.



There are other exchanges out there tho.. Bittrex is one of the high demanding ones.
Even listing on yobit is better than no listing.

[Dunkelheit667]

What work needs to be done to get this coin relisted or listed elsewhere?

I might become active again, when there is another exchange (promising to be) trading SOIL.

There are other exchanges out there tho..

I've seen Cryptopia is kind with undervalues coins. However, they ask for an active development contact, a website etc.

Just saying.

I'm not really invested and can't contribute much more than installing a node and stuff. Just sad to see another friendly coin dies away.

[apolo11]

I also still supporting that coin (will keep a node as long as i can)

Thank you @AndreasKrueger for your effort, what is left from my bittrex wallet send to 0x82e6fac28f2c0d89b442f4b7c0d72fa47c54efa7
  

[vthfvuuj]

me too supporting that coin. thank you for the information

[frostminer]

Is there a slack or something the remaining people can have a chat?
