Able to run under Wine on Linux Mint.

Status OK
ping 147

Created two accounts, each with the 100k coins.
Navigation between windows works, also opening vault with 123

Not able to transmit between accounts - "Send Money" button stays greyed out and does not respond.  Why?

The transaction time will be faster when launch, right? Now, it is very fast, less than 3s, our target is less than 1s.

How do you measure 3 sec? It's actually well under 1 sec right now.

Nice...

Don't know. If your account balance > 0 and your network status is OK, then the button should be enabled.

What's the IE version?

Just to let you know that simcoin v0.51 seems to work on linux mint 17 64-bit cinnamon using wine 1.6.2-0ubuntu4 . Have a great day.

nice to read some updates.

Weekly status reports are fine, don't let the forums distract you too much!

Three  days later, and nothing from Nxtblg. I sent him simxchg.com account

He lost his landline, waiting for it to be fixed or a wi-fi router to arrive.

I am sure he will be back soon, he has NFD to take care of

All 4 M are still in his account.

I'm back, after three weeks of quiet hell. Thanks for covering for me in re Simgate and for making Simxchg operable via Android cell phone. It took a PM from Eadeqa to finally clue me in, but I did redeem all the Simgate he transferred to me as of last night.

Yep, I'm awfully glad that Simxchg was more accessible to my Android than my desktop: USB tethering was a flat failure. Just goes to show you that a state of desperation is not the best learning environment.

And it's certainly nice to be back from the land where it takes an hour on the cellphone to keep track of something I could find out about with a few clicks on the desktop plus a single passphrase.

As for my line troubles, the weird part was that it was the physical-line equivalent of a subtle bug. It turns out there were two problems: 1) A line-and-hookup protector at the bottom of "my" telephone pole was corroded enough to compromise one of the wires in such a way that the phone service flickered in and out; 2) some jackwad of a line technician misconnected a connecter wire at the aggregator box for my neighbourhood. Total time to track both down: three weeks. Total line-technician time to fix both: thirty minutes. 

Isn't that just peachy...

Anyways: thanks to all, and "It's Great To Be Back!"

Welcome back!

I think NxtChg should be a monarch again. The Simcoin is about to launch, we should welcome people to join and talk here.

Dont delete the post arbitrarily . The more people seeing, the good for the Simcoin.

deleting post is his style

 so this is the reason that SIM dropped down quickly . 

Sorry, but the slump in SIM merely mirrors the slump in a lot of gen-2 cryptos. The man you love to hate had nothing to do with the fact that an excited investor in Qora at 75 satoshis or an excited investor in NTX at 30 satoshis is riding butthurt after seeing his stake drop well over 50%.

Distribution update



255 accounts own simcoins now vs 210 after the IPO.

The top 10 accounts own 21.25% vs 21.00% two weeks before.

Progress report

This week my primary HDD died. It was 5 years old and every summer worked in excessive heat. Then the HDD cooler stopped one day and that was the last straw for it.

Fortunately, I had a clean XP installed on SSD and the drive didn't die completely (thanks, Seagate!), so by cooling it down I was able to copy everything to a new drive. Then XP booted as if nothing happened! Whew...

Still took two days out of this week

Did:
- Fixed a bug with account info task that didn't reset the response queue properly and so caused slow balance updates in the test client.
- Added 5th test node.
- Major refactoring of consensus code.
- Client: added Ctrl-C/Ctrl-X/Ctrl-V shortcuts.
- Client: fixed account auto-unselecting, due to updating by timer.
- Minor fixes, improvements and testing – seems stable and reliable now, even with small network and a lot of checks and code missing.
- Tried modified time sync version: the time drift is much slower, but still continues. Have another idea, will test it as soon as enough time passes – I want to see where the current timestamp will drift. Currently it's about 15 seconds off the correct time. And agreement between servers is 1 second. Not bad at all considering servers have 1 minute time difference.
- Setup a new test/development server at Forked. Both servers, by the way, had 100% uptime so far.
- Two new ideas how to significantly improve consensus and at the same time decrease network traffic. Can't pass this opportunity, but need to write more code unfortunately. Still, since consensus is the core of the system, I believe it must be done.
So this is what I am working on right now.

The prices of the last days allowed me to also become a member of the sim community.

Looking forward to test the client

Simcoin feature request: multisig.

Bitcoin has 2 of 3 multisig.  I would like to see Simcoin have a more powerful version of this: N of M multisignatures where both are specified at the time of address creation with M keys and a N in the set {1 .. M}.

Thanks for considering.

Good for you. Meself, I lowballed too low...

In my official capacity as puny humans communicator I have no information to relay. I just hope he is okay. For anyone worried he abandoned the project I say there is less than .00004% chance he did. If he did I'll eat my hat. Imo he is probably acting like a mad scientist, unshaven and forgot what day it is. He'll log in after he remembers he hasn't eaten in 2 days.

Progress report

No progress, took the week off.

I was away for 3 days and unfortunately web server on the exchange froze just after I left.

It's back online now.

Thanks, and welcome back. 

[NxtChg]

And he should give us a status update, instead of deleting our posts where we ask for update...

Updates are posted every Sunday.

Why are people so impatient?...

Progress report

Not much progress this week either



These are probably the hottest weeks of the summer. I expect temperature to start dropping in August and my productivity raising back again.

I am still working on the improved consensus, it's about 90% done and works on my local machine.

No new version though, because I want to implement the subscription model for clients first, otherwise polling interval kills any confirmation speed.

See you in a week.

[lyynx]

Thank you for the status report, keep up the great work

@Nxtchg - In your opinion, will Simcoin compete mainly with Bitcoin or Stellar/Ripple in the future (which market is more suitable for Simcoin)?
