I think there's no need to have two ANN threads. I've asked abvhiael to share the account of this thread with me. We would have another person with access to the OP.
I'm not a dev and it's hard to find altruistic people to get in. I'm happy for the moment to help with the technical aspects of soil but if we want to continue here, we need more people in.

I'm a C# developer, but I guess , I could learn to develop on the blockchain as well. I'll be your apprentice @abvhiael.

I think it's good fun to try and understand the ideas driving a blockchain towards common goals in benefit of the community.

So, to be able to compile the currently available source code into a gsoil.exe for Windows might be one of my first goals in this group. I just need some help in doing it. Later, I think; i can be able to do it on my own.

I think its essential to get SOIL back to some exchange. Right now it is not visible anymore at coinmarketcap. I donated some (fraction of) BTC and would go for the direct listing at nova.

Right now the last block is 8h ago... How comes? Would also donate some SOIL to the development fund as soon as the chain moves again.

@abvhiael: good to hear from you

@abvhiael: good to hear from you  

That's really great! - @cryptococcus - I'm an idiot. If have deleted the community wallet, but I will refund what you've donated from my own bag. We should be soon on nova exchange!

OK! I donated 0.05 BTC for the listing at nova exchange to the above mentioned BTC address. I might donate some more if others also step in.

I havent donated SOIL to the community wallet so far. Do you know why the last block was 10h ago? Someone stopped mining?

[Dunkelheit667]

...Do you know why the last block was 10h ago? Someone stopped mining?

Yes, looks like a miner or pool stopped. The difficulty is relatively high. Will try to solo mine some blocks now to get the difficulty back to normal.

edit: Nevermind, the big boy is back. Difficulty rising and the blockchain is running again.

My First Contract

It's easy to create a contract on the soilchain.

• Start SOILsafe.exe
• Go to CONTRACTS
• DEPLOY NEW CONTRACT
• Copy the following code to SOLIDITY CONTRACT SOURCE CODE Box

Code:

contract SOILfaucet {
    address owner;
    uint256 sendAmount;
    mapping (address => uint) lastSent;
    uint blockLimit;
    function SOILfaucet(){
        owner = msg.sender;
        sendAmount = 500000000000000000;
        blockLimit = 86400;
    }
	function getBalance() returns (uint){
	     return address(this).balance;
	}
	function getSOIL() returns (bool){
	    if(lastSent[msg.sender]<(block.number-blockLimit)&&address(this).balance>sendAmount){
	        msg.sender.send(sendAmount);
	        lastSent[msg.sender] = block.number;
	        return true;
	    } else {
	        return false;
	    }
	}
	function sendSOIL(address recp) returns (bool){
		  if(lastSent[msg.sender]<(block.number-blockLimit)&&address(this).balance>sendAmount){
	        recp.send(sendAmount);
	        lastSent[msg.sender] = block.number;
	        return true;
	    } else {
	        return false;
	    }
	}	
	function getBlockLimit() returns (uint){
		  return blockLimit;
	}
	function setBlockLimit(uint limit) returns (bool){
		  if(msg.sender==owner) {
	        blockLimit = limit;
	        return true;
	    } else {
	        return false;
	    }
	}
	function setSendAmount(uint256 val) returns (bool){
	    if(msg.sender==owner)   {
	        sendAmount = val;
	        return true;
	    } else {
	        return false;
	    }
	}
	function getSendAmount() returns (uint256){
	    return sendAmount;
	}
	function killSOILfaucet(){
	    if(msg.sender==owner) {
	        suicide(owner);
	    }
	}
}

• SELECT CONTRACT TO DEPLOY - Pick SOILfaucet
• Click DEPLOY
• Now you have your own faucet contract on the soil chain!

Code:

sendAmount = 500000000000000000;

Means you will get a half soil if you query the faucet

[martymcfly2015]

Import someone's contract

e.g. the SOILfaucet contract

• Start SOILsafe.exe
• Go to CONTRACT
• WATCH CONTRACT
• CONTRACT NAME e.g.Soil Faucet
• CONTRACT ADDRESS:

Code:

0xdac49860bee0e6d0775f69721459c411d62fd1bc

• JSON INTERFACE:

Code:

[ { "constant": false, "inputs": [], "name": "getSOIL", "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "bool" } ], "type": "function", "displayName": "getSOIL" }, { "constant": false, "inputs": [ { "name": "limit", "type": "uint256", "typeShort": "uint", "bits": "256", "displayName": "limit", "template": "elements_input_uint" } ], "name": "setBlockLimit", "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "bool" } ], "type": "function", "displayName": "set Block Limit" }, { "constant": false, "inputs": [], "name": "getBalance", "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "uint256" } ], "type": "function", "displayName": "get Balance" }, { "constant": false, "inputs": [ { "name": "val", "type": "uint256", "typeShort": "uint", "bits": "256", "displayName": "val", "template": "elements_input_uint" } ], "name": "setSendAmount", "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "bool" } ], "type": "function", "displayName": "set Send Amount" }, { "constant": false, "inputs": [], "name": "killSOILfaucet", "outputs": [], "type": "function", "displayName": "kill SOILfaucet" }, { "constant": false, "inputs": [], "name": "getBlockLimit", "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "uint256" } ], "type": "function", "displayName": "get Block Limit" }, { "constant": false, "inputs": [], "name": "getSendAmount", "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "uint256" } ], "type": "function", "displayName": "get Send Amount" }, { "constant": false, "inputs": [ { "name": "recp", "type": "address", "typeShort": "address", "bits": "", "displayName": "recp", "template": "elements_input_address" } ], "name": "sendSOIL", "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "bool" } ], "type": "function", "displayName": "sendSOIL" }, { "inputs": [], "type": "constructor" } ]

• Click OK

Now you can get a half soil out of the old SOILfaucet:

• Start SOILsafe.exe
• Go to CONTRACT
• Select the imported Contract e.g.Soil Faucet
• Pick a function -> getSOIL -> click EXECUTE
• You should recive a half soil

Abvhiael, good to see you post, hope you're feeling better and getting back on your feet.  Please post SOIL wallet address.  

Sorry haven't followed up in a bit.  Work has been crazy.  I still have the basic website for soil up www.cryptosoil.com, but was having trouble building out some of the links.  I used Weebly to save time, but some simple features seem glitchy and having trouble making direct edits to the code as a work around. I think all we need at this point is to have clean links to the ANN OP, the latest wallets, the BE, and maybe to link to an updated BE bootstrap so new users can get synched faster. I will try fix this week.  If anyone is interested in trying to work on website, PM me.    

I'm also in for trying to get community reserve built up again.  Looking forward, could we fork the code so that 5-10% of new blocks goes into a development fund?  This seems to be working really well for DASH.  Their block rewards are mined with a distribution that goes 45% to miners, 45% to masternodes (holders of 1000+ dash can run a masternode) and 10% into community fund.  Masternodes then vote on community projects.  They are able to do a heavy marketing push because they are well funded and able to mobilize with this system of governance.  I think SOIL should transition to a similar approach if possible.  No eth-based coin is doing this yet to my knowledge.  

Listing on exchange should definitely be the priority. Once up, I'll buy some and donate.   It's kind of crazy SOIL isn't listed.  More work to do, but further along then a lot of other coins that are listed.

Please donate to bypass voting and get direct novaexchange listing!

https://novaexchange.com/addcoin/

We have 0.051 Bitcoin now - thanks to cryptococcus!. This would be enougth to jump on the vote list.

0.04 BTC for adding us to the vote list.
0.40 BTC This option will bypass voting and get direct listing.

Any more donations to bypass voting and get direct listing?
Any tiny amount of BTC will be helpful.

jFYI

Listing a coin on Cryptopia would cost 1.000.000 DOT. One DOT is ~ 0.00000023 BTC at the moment. With other words ~ 0.23 BTC to get SOIL listed. Just saying.

However, I would register to Novaexchange for the daily vote, no question.

[abvhiael]

I think its essential to get SOIL back to some exchange. Right now it is not visible anymore at coinmarketcap. I donated some (fraction of) BTC and would go for the direct listing at nova.

ive messaged bittrex regarding the delisting, and when i am up to date at the state of the homestead protocol for SOIL, i doubt having SOIL relisted there will be a problem. the exchange markets have changed a great deal in the last 8 months, with multi-wallet altoin apps with built in exchanges coming out, so there are many new options to explore. a couple further exchanges, even lower volume ones, would be beneficial.

ill see what sort of campaigns we can get set up as i get caught up on the state of the blockchain, and we can make sure to have those regularly updated on the OP by myself or marty.

[abvhiael]

Abvhiael, good to see you post, hope you're feeling better and getting back on your feet.  Please post SOIL wallet address.  

thanks. so far the new medications have been working well and im able to start thinking again, which has been nice. (laughs) drooling idiot and me doesnt work so well. my original foundation address at 0xe46731382fbc47621a6c480d4b6118026bbbcb3a should still work, although i have to update my gsoil software once i hear back from marty as to the state of our protocols.

Sorry haven't followed up in a bit.  Work has been crazy.  I still have the basic website for soil up www.cryptosoil.com, but was having trouble building out some of the links.  I used Weebly to save time, but some simple features seem glitchy and having trouble making direct edits to the code as a work around.

I will try fix this week.  If anyone is interested in trying to work on website, PM me.    

i can build out a website using the templates i have from the old one with updates from the industry specific stuff in teh OP. would be nice to have a blog on the page as well. part of the problem after peter left was losing the website and trying to build on a free site again.
https://www.one.com/ has a fairly cheap domain registry and hosting, and we could get www.soilco.in for $16 CDN (a little over 0.01BTC)

a solid hosting will allow dApp developers to have their appplications accessible thru the SOILcoin website. (such as SOILex, which could push towards a hosted page at soilco.in )

I'm also in for trying to get community reserve built up again.  Looking forward, could we fork the code so that 5-10% of new blocks goes into a development fund?  This seems to be working really well for DASH.  Their block rewards are mined with a distribution that goes 45% to miners, 45% to masternodes (holders of 1000+ dash can run a masternode) and 10% into community fund.  Masternodes then vote on community projects.  They are able to do a heavy marketing push because they are well funded and able to mobilize with this system of governance.  I think SOIL should transition to a similar approach if possible.  No eth-based coin is doing this yet to my knowledge.  

a development fund can also be funded by setting up a benchmark transaction in the blockchain protocol which would mint a specific amount on a regular basis to a wallet with 2of3 multisig protection. this can be used to fund developers or projects or giveaways or whatnot. these benchmarks can also be used to provide protection from the attacks that took down Kr and others, ensuring that the blockchain remains valid by signing off on the developers benchmark fund. the only human requirement on that is dedication to making sure those txs are signed in a timely manner, but im sure a happy medium can be found even there.

Listing on exchange should definitely be the priority. Once up, I'll buy some and donate.   It's kind of crazy SOIL isn't listed.  More work to do, but further along then a lot of other coins that are listed.  

its still a very healthy EVM progammable blockchain, and with the developments made on a lot of dApps on ETH and ETC, a great number of smaller projects can be built onto the SOIL architecture to provide those services that were in the original vision. what SOIL *DOES PROVIDE* is a CLEAN BLOCKCHAIN that doesnt have the problem of possible cross-chain interruptions for ETH-ETC based contracts that  may have separate chain originators making calls on contracts on the shared part of the chain. and at the ROCK BOTTOM PRICES that SOIL sits at now, the cost of computational gas has never been cheaper!!

i agree though that we need the exchanges up and running, and i think that we should get the homestead protocols running and have proper executables for new wallets and a functioning and up to date MIST clone, and present a new forked and stable protocol to bring to the exchanges. now that ethereum is a staple cryptocurrency, most of the exchange operators have had experience in setting up ETH-based wallets, which was part of the trouble getting onto a few of the exchanges when we launched... this week ill get up to date on where our protocol is and start to set up exchange campaigns and communications with exchanges again and see where we can get things started up again.

[martymcfly2015]

abvhiael has shared the OP credentials with me so we have another person with access to the OP. I got may questions regarding the state of the sourcecode. We have a testnet which is on early homestead code level and it has already passed the fork to the homestead blockchain protocol successful. The testnet is using a different home folder and it's safe to use and will not interfere your mainnet installation. The mainnet is gsoil 1.3.3 which I've found on the old github resource. I have added new nodes to old source code for painless chain syncing. I'm happy for the moment to help with the technical aspects of soil but the new semester is starting soon. It would be good to have someone else in addition who could deal with the technical aspects of soil.

TESTNET
linux:
git clone https://github.com/martymcfly2015/go-soil.git
cd go-soil
git checkout testnet
make
build/gsoil account new
