Algorithms and pools

Sha		Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. Pool: http://ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=sfr
Blake		Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. Pool: https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/saffroncoin
Groestl		Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. Pool: https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/saffroncoin-groestl
x11		Not healthy. Blocks are occasionally mined by the new multipool, but only when profitable. No dedicated X11 pools available
Scrypt		Not healthy. Blocks are not being found due to high difficulty. Pool: http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8967/static/

Multipools
http://www.zpool.ca/
This multipool has added SFR recently, and is mining 3 algorithms on a profit switching basis (Sha, x11, Scrypt).

The great strength of multi-algo coins is that it is not dependent on only 1 hashing method. For instance, although 2 algorithms have been in poor health, 3 have been in continuous good health since the coin was launched, meaning blocks still generate, the blockchain keeps moving, and transactions get processed. Multi-algo coins are extremely resilient and have always been under appreciated. Saffroncoin is probably the best one out there, despite the lack of progress from the dev in recent months and a low price, it is still fundamentally a solid coin, designed by a skilled developer.

Hi,

We've added SFR to the miners multipool: www.zpool.ca

We're mining it on ALL SFR's algos: x11, scrypt, sha256, myr-gr & blake!

Cheers!

SFR Informational Post
Updated: 19 January 2015

It's been 2 months since my last update. Not a lot has happened, except some promises from the dev for some progress soon. This is an ongoing post I have been making to fill in the blanks from the first post by the dev, as it is a mess of dead links, and bad pools. It would be nice as the dev has been back around recently, if he could update the first page with some current information.

x11 - Not healthy. Blocks are not being found due to high difficulty. No X11 pools available for some time now.

The great strength of multi-algo coins, is that that despite 2 algorithms being in poor health, 3 have been in continuous good health since the coin was launched, meaning blocks still generate, the block chain keeps moving, and transactions get processed. Multi-algo coins have always been under appreciated, and Saffroncoin is probably the best one out there, despite the lack of progress from the dev in recent months and a low price, it is still fundamentally a solid, well developed coin.

Members of the community are still running nodes, we are still mining the coin, and some people are even still buying. Pretty much everything this coin needs to do to survive, someone who posts in this thread has it covered. It's amazing to see so much support of this coin still about. Thanks to everyone who keeps this thing afloat. Shout out to Kid Brook especially for keeping so many working nodes up and running.

Mining Rewards

The current block reward is 21 SFR. Each algo is targeted to generate a block every 450 seconds. Each algo therefore can produce 4032 coins per day, for 20160 total new coins a day across all 5 algos. The actual amount of new coins a day is less than this, as X11 and Scrypt is not being mined. The true number of new coins a day is about 12k a day as things stand.

Thanks for the informative post as always SKU!! Since you did list the exchanges i would like to strongly encourage people to not use Cryptsy and 100% do not deposit any new coins there (SFR or BTC or any coin for that matter). They have recently posted on their blog, http://blog.cryptsy.com, about a hack a while back, where thousands of btc/ltc were stolen and they are likely insolvent. They've since locked withdrawals except for about 50 coins which they listed on their blog. They mentioned they might/will open up withdrawals for additional coins, and if SFR is enabled for withdrawals, anyone with SFR on Crypsty should attempt to withdrawal their coins ASAP.

Bittrex seems like the safer of the two options, however it has been threatened for delisting in the past due to low volume. But i believe we can get around that if we main .2 vol for the week we are up for delisting or i recall seeing something if Rosh reaches out directly to Bittrex we won't be delisted.

I heard a new wallet update is just around the corner and i will be moving all my coins to the wallet after the update and recommend others do the same. I would move them sooner but i haven't been able to find a working mac wallet link

Side note: I'd love to get listed on Poloneix eventually. Definitely seems like the leading alt exchange right now in terms of volume and could be great exposure for SFR!!

[pallas]

I agree. Bittrex has worked very fine for me, for a long time. But so has Poloniex.

[Sku]

I have compiled some reward schedule information, and added it in to my post for those interested, since that a detailed block reward schedule is missing from the OP.

The block reward will reduce from 21 SFR to 17 SFR in just under 2 months time. See my post above for full reward schedule.

[standalone13]

Can somebody list here the deps with correct versions, cause i'm not sure that the given ones are correct.

[IrReAr]

Wow community and coin is still alive. That's huge and interesting.

[Sku]

Wow community and coin is still alive. That's huge and interesting.

Maybe pretty small community now, but a few people have stuck around. The coin is amazingly still being mined, and the blockchain working great, despite the minuscule price, market cap is only about 24btc at 100sat. The fact the coin still even works with so little interest really is a testament to the resilience provided by a multialgo coin.

Seems to have become an enthusiast coin for a few people rather than a get rich quick scheme like most other alts which is nice. Multi-algo is still a mostly unexplored area of Crypto, and SFR had a pretty good go at making it work, and chose a pretty solid set of 5 algorithms.

I've been trying to help get more people into mining with my update posts, and hope the dev can finally deliver some long overdue updates which have been promised =)

[clarkjhaley13]

Was trying to setup a p2pool node for this but it seems none of the available p2pool repositories are working. Any ideas?

[nldutchie]

I've just installed the wallet but it won't sync. I have added then nodes to a saffroncoin.conf file. Is this correct? I did send some coins to the wallet but they not arrive in my wallet. Can someone help me with this?

[saffroncoin]

Which version wallet have you installed?

[lin0sspice]

Still nothing?

[Sku]

Someone has started buying up the book on SFR.

Don't know if someone knows something we don't, but I guess there have been whispers that an update from the dev is coming, so maybe the update is now due. The price has gone up 300%, but in fairness, it was so low to begin with, it didn't take much.

Will be interesting to see what happens next, someone is clearly accumulating, but it's not a big gamble since it's so cheap.

https://i.imgur.com/5h2HjV4.png

We have a block reward reduction coming up around the 16th of March to 17 SFR a block instead of the current 21 SFR. I have updated my information post further up the page with the latest stats.

I once again ask the coin developer, who has recently posted in the thread, to update and tidy up the original post on the first page. If you're reading, please clean up all the dead links and old information

someone just bought a wall of 1M SFR at Bittrex

a big prospector.

He is now no.3 on the Richlist.  https://bchain.info/SFR/rich/

He bought it within minutes of it being posted. There hasn't really been that amount of SFR avaliable to buy for many months, so naturally it was snapped up very quickly. Despite the low price, there was actually very little on the sell side for a long time now. He obviously pushed the price up a little to get a bagholder to come out the woodwork and it seems it was effective.

[Sku]

At block 603,784 the reward is going to decrease to 17 SFR a block. We are on block 601,733, so it will be sometime in the next few days. The price has increased recently enough to offset the reward change, so it should have no effect on our dedicated miners, still hasing away after all this time.

SFR... not dead yet.

SFR Update Special Block 603,784 Edition
SFR not dead yet block reward reduction special edition!

Updated: 06 April 2016

Here is my regular update post about the status of SFR, special edition for the block reward reduction! As of block 603,784 (just now) the block reward has changed from 21 SFR per block to 17 SFR per block. The first reward reduction in almost a year! Additionally, watching Bittrex, accumulation continues on SFR, with most large sell orders below 200sat being snatched up. Quite the change in fortunes since the price was hovering around 70sat just a month or two ago.

Anyway, here we go with the latest update...
