[ANN][SIC] Sifcoin - inflation fork

[cinnamon_carter]

Impressive ! Nice to see some games !!

This weekend coming up i should have time for another go at the abe block crawaler unless someone beats me to it.

It's funny I have been mining this (not from the start) but for quite a while , on and off.

While I am not a fan of 'multi algorithim coins' in general you have to admit Simple Inflation Coin got there first and set the stage for hundreds of other coins , many of which are traded on exchanges all over the world every day.   

Yet the mother who gave birth to them all has just a few of us keeping it alive. 

Honestly I don't mine it 24/7 myself just a day or two at most a week depending on difficulty.....

I thought it was going to take off a few times but not yet. 

Very few people out there will mine a coin they cannot instantly exchange for btc. 

That means anyone mining this is hardcore and in cryptocurrency for what I feel are the best reasons !!

Hi, try your luck in SatoshiSmile xD

Send from 0.1 to 0.5 sic to 7niTHdfKAwB692SvuJ1jjSSXg1SNsny57L and win one of sixteen prizes:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winning is sent after the first confirmation of the received transaction.
To determine win amount script uses the first symbol of sha256('txid'+'secret'); (in hexadecimal, '0'=0.01, '1'=0.1, '2'=0.2, ..., 'a'=1.1, 'b'=1.2, 'c'=1.5, 'd'=1.8, 'e'=2.2, 'f'=3.5). The 'secret' changes once a day (00:00 UTC) and is published in my forum sign.
Script accepts only normal transactions made with the reference wallet.
Bets greater than the maximum are returned minus fee 0.0005 sic.
Bets less than the minimum are equated with donations and are non-refundable.
The minimum win is 0.01 sic.
The maximum prize is limited by the size of the pot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently 15 sic in the pot. Donate: 7d2C9EdQ3A3Z2twUWVWerb515zQdKM6yPL, thx.

fyi

more discussion about the game on the russian thread....

also difficulty is up sharply well over 350, highest i have seen it in a long time, near an all time high to my memory

edit one difficulty now 376.3

edit two  rising still and fast 388.9 now  , a week ago it was around 240 , the only time I saw this kind of action was when Balthazar made this post to the Russian thread, long ago stating he would ask if the coin could be added to btce ... that was sept 2013

Any news about Block Chain Explorer? 

[cinnamon_carter]

yea , i got it started but it sadly is not reading the blockchain if i try to use abe

maybe if someone can use Graham's work  ... here
https://github.com/gjhiggins/sifcoin-hash
and here
https://github.com/gjhiggins/altcoin-abe


and gitpull on abe here

https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe/pull/155

we could get some fresh ideas

if i get more spare time i can have another go at it

Any news about Block Chain Explorer?

Any news about Block Chain Explorer? 

I think it will take time to setup.

[gjhiggins]

if i get more spare time i can have another go at it

Probably a minor issue. In the interim, I've set up a temporary instance, serving direct off''ve our server:

http://acme.bel-epa.com/chains

Excellent ! Thanks Guess I should notify the Russian thread.

Ach, I got myself trapped in a twisty little maze of redirects*

New transient URL for Sifcoin Abe explorer:

* or was it a little twisty maze of redirects?

[cinnamon_carter]

A while back someone contacted me and offered to host/mirror block crawler if I was able to make one.

I gave it a shot but never got it to work properly.  Eventually I may have but Graham certainly deserves 100% of the credit.

His code was what I worked from (see earlier in the thred) 

I cannot remember who it was but if you could arrange to host Graham's fine work might be a good idea.

Unrelated ...........I was on another thread and saw a remark that was praising quark for how 'innnovative' a creation it was ect. ect.....

Others pointed out that was incorrect but I felt if being launched a month later was not proof enough that this commit on github for Quark

https://github.com/MaxGuevara/quark/commit/1c0961810b65226bf74ba98e7c0a11ada8b7cd32#diff-55e43a5d20bb81f2c06e4ddaee58ae6bR2

Anyone can clearly see in line 2 of the link there quark while certainly different in reward and proof of work was in reality derived from the work of Storan.

In fact just looking a second time here I see the quark dev actually named SIF here line 2 also https://github.com/MaxGuevara/quark/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2   of course not many people read the source code......

Cool YoBit !

Code:

I do apologize for the delay, after looking into the coin on the thread currently this coin does not meet the requirements for being added to the exchange. The best way to get added to the voting list is to have a great community following with an active dev. If the thread changes and goes more past 9 pages of comments and more links and logo's appear later down the road we will take a second look.

Sincerely
Mark
Cryptsy.com

So guys, we need an active dev and a logo.

9 pages

41 pages. Who more?

[cinnamon_carter]

Cryptsy has turned into a lousy crooked exchange anyway.

F them.

They have about 30 coins in maintaince mode
so you can't deposit or withdraw coins but they keep the markets open??

Also this bs about the voting is asking for a bribe , nothing more.

Anyone can get sock puppet accounts to make the page 500 or 1000 long like most of the shit traded on there.

Honestly at one time i liked them.

But no project I have ever been involved with has ever been listed there.

I don't take it personal but the things I work on are honest / not scams and I don't pay bribes.

Recently i bought a bitcoin or so of ix coin since I am kind of helping out with that but really own little of it & you can't mine it anymore.

After several days I tweeted them about it.

No answer. Nothing.   Not being able to withdraw my purchase i had to sell the coins back into the market at a big loss.

Cryptsy no longer cares about customers.

Eventually they will probably get """hacked"""  like other exchanges & just keep all the coins.

They really went downhill.

SIC is a great coin , one of the few 'honestly' run coins around.

[cinnamon_carter]

wow, difficulty now 680 and rising, cpu mining may no longer really be an option ....

strange the attention this is getting


edit one,   now 2 hours later over 710 and rising  , anyone out there want to say ''''' yea I decided to start mining  ''''' lol

Not much new going on with Simple Inflation Coin,  the node I am running still has quite a few connections,  dificulty seems cooled off a bit.

Still checking it 1-2x a week as I have time.

In less than 200 blocks looks like sic blockchain will be 200k tall, so it has survived a lot longer than many coins that have had a lot more promotion behind them. This coin had zero promotion. In fact I almost get the feeling the dev's either want it kept quite or maybe they just moved on to other things and figured they would let it run.

Regardless, many popular coins today owe a lot to this coins source code.

i shut down my node, have not checked on sic in a while, obviously some people are still mining it but although for a while i thought it was a sleeper ,  i guess it would have woke up by now if it was ever going to , 


too bad sic never got the credit it deserved,  i learned a lot from study of this source code and am greatful to the creators of this alt coin for that at least,

farewell

Thank you for travelling SIFcoin, we hope you had an enjoyable journey.

I see things differently and will be maintaining the Minkiz SIF node and the ACME explorer for the foreseeable future.
