Hi

Can someone provide a faststartpack up to date, please?
I downloaded the one from "altblockchains" but sling seems to find a problem on block "751" so it's stuck 2 weeks ago.
I have connexions, but syncing doesn't work.

@cryptovote: can you outline what are the next steps? looks like you got stuck with other coins?

CryptoVote will no doubt provide a much clearer response... but afaik, the work he's been undertaking on other coins is proving to be a valuable learning experience. After exchanging messages with him he said (to the effect) that he's going to return to sling once that work is completed and apply that coding knowledge to improve Sling.

Fairglu responded for the block explorer. He'll do it but he asks for a hosting contribution of either $55 for 6 months or $100 a year.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

Sling Block Explorer: http://blox.slingcoin.rocks/ hosted and deployed by @MCDev

Anyone know how to update the Sling coinmarketcap BE link?  https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sling/

Coinmarketcap updated the block explorer link and it now points to the new one!

I plan to pick up Sling after we launch DarkSilk.  There are many problems with the current Sling code base, I really didn't know where to start.  I was initially going to work on a new HTML5 UI but then the lead developer left.  When Spencer, the lead DarkSilk developer, saw me cherry picking his commits for Sling, he recruited me because we had the same goals.  DarkSilk started out as a Crave fork plus Sling's marketplace in April 2015 but the has been upgrading the code since then. 

With DarkSilk, we are close to being up to date with Bitcoin 0.12.x, Dash 0.12.x (Masternodes, InstantX, DarkSend, Budgets), and Blackcoin (PoS).  DarkSilk has a team so when I get stuck, they sometimes help.  They also have way more cryptocurrency experience than I.

I work part-time on crypto.  I have a full time job architecting and writing medical software used by physicians and nurses at hospitals/clinics which is very different than decentralized crypto.  I don't get to use C++ in my day time job anymore but have been using the language since the 90s and is my favorite.

I am getting to know the latest Bitcoin, Dash, Syscoin BlockMarket and Blackcoin code base well and how they work so after DarkSilk, I should be an experienced decentralized crypto dev.

My work on DarkSilk is taking way longer than expected and I am sorry about that.  After Sling, I plan to work on BTX.  I want to make BTX a blockchain casino coin using Dash's masternodes as virtual dealers but need to focus on Sling after DarkSilk.  Sling will be different than DarkSilk but can't explain right now as my ideas are still evolving.

Hi,

i just discoverd that there is a FORK in the Network, i send some Sling to Bittrex and the Transaction was Broadcasted via 4 Nodes and never arrived Bittrex when i Compare the Last Block with my last Block i can see that there is a Split about 10K blocks.
How can that be solved?

See in Blockexplorer:

[jadefalke]

is no one else seeing that Problem?

That may explain why I'm having trouble syncing some of my wallets.  I'll need to spend some time with it.

Is there still a dev on this project?  We are having issues with the wallet.
