SmallChange [research-only] [Litecoin based] [15 seconds blocks] [*update now*]

[TheSwede75]

Are there any 'alive' smallchange pools up and running? Would be fun to try.

Difficulty is very low, you can solo-mine it.

[MaGNeT]

How is the coin doing?

[binaryFate]

Alive and waiting for wave of interest 
Anyway really easy to mine now... I'm so happy to experiment solo-mining

Are there any nodes available (IP please), not getting any connections.

[lanfeusst]

I use

addnode=54.246.222.7
addnode=80.123.216.178
addnode=199.195.214.166
addnode=74.121.182.150:16001

I have 8 connections

Where to put this lines, if i have windows binaries?

[lanfeusst]

These lines must be put in the smallchange.conf file
I use linux so I don't know on windows but it must be create in the same directory as your wallet.dat
maybe C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Smallchange\smallchange.conf

Or you can also add them directly to the command-line with  -addnode=<ip>

The second hint helped.
No changes when i add smallchange.conf to dir where wallet.dat is.

Firewall blocking port?
and u did close and reopen client after adding to the .conf file right?

Any progress?

I want to save this coin!
Just started to mine it again to get enough coins for the "logo design bounty".

"difficulty" : 0.00420991

I can to this

[MaGNeT]

We didn't find the right SmallChange log yet, extend it for another 24 hours!

1000 SMC for the best design!

Anyone creative out there?

Best until now:

Any progress?

Well - I am still playing around with difficulty and tx fees. I also left the max block size unchanged for now as I don't see any benefit to reduce it. Currently, the coin would support approx. 160tps i.e., 4 times higher than Bitcoin which is still small compared to real world microtransaction rates.

Nevertheless, I updated the code base w.r.t:
- max. coins corrected to 42 007 680
- added a option to dump block chain statistics
- added a few checkpoints for current block chain + reenabled code that does the checkpoint checking
- new icons (finally distinguishable from Litecoin)

The update is not mandatory but improves security.

By curiosity, what are these checkpoints exactly? How does it work?

[ronaldinho_07]

it's still in "research-progress",isn't it ?

[cryptocancer]

If anyone doesnt want smc anymore i will gladly take it off your hands

Or maybe just toss this bum some SmallChange...

Nice project; I'm currently solo-mining this.

[TheSwede75]

What's the current diff? I remember throwing some hash at it for fun a day or so ago and it was already really high for a 'testcoin'.

[binaryFate]

Current diff is 0.038, harder but still feasible to solo-mine

[binaryFate]

At least at the current scale, the rules implemented appear to work well. I think the coin
is out there for a while. Still, take it for the fun, you'll unlikely make any money out of this!
