[ANN] Slimcoin : Proof of Burn NEW BLOCK GEN, Mineable by low power computer!

[rfcdejong]

From which code is SLIM coin a fork anyway?

Probably a beta version of bitcoin published no later than 2009. Wallet is so buggy its unbelieveable.

found it, it's from peercoin.. nearly the same code
which doesn't read the rpcthreads argument either

Can you go through peercoin commits and find the rpcthreads function ?

[rfcdejong]

it doesn't seems to be there. anyway it all is from bitcoin in the first place, the rpcserver.cpp but that is where litecoin got it's code bitcoinrpc.cpp file from, peercoin did it his own way.

Is it possible to change the current slimcoin source so instead of starting 4(or is it 8 ) threads it starts XX instead ? I need a quick fix now while diff is still low. Which line in the current source tells it to run X threads ?

[rfcdejong]

oh i found the changeset i think.

Port Thread* methods to boost::thread_group

bitcoin's code got changed to boost threads, was same as this code

https://gitorious.org/bitcoin/luke-jr-bitcoin/commit/21eb5ad


It is alot of code to commit, slimcoin should do it, not me

not sure, but it might be this one

Anyway i can't find the code which calls ThreadRPCServer2
https://github.com/slimcoin/slimcoin/search?q=ThreadRPCServer2&type=Code

It seems you can call that more than 1 and it will increment running threads...

Changing the vnThreadsRunning[4]++; value does not work.
I sent you a PM

Guys how do I know if I've earned anything or hit anything in the debug log?
I'm getting blocks I'm pretty sure, at one point it said 3 blocks.
Is there some code I should look for, or will it update on the slimcoin-qt?

I'm kind of confused about this whole solo mining thing, because I've never done it before.

Edit this is what it says:


{
"blocks" : 5444,
"currentblocksize" : 1489,
"currentblocktx" : 3,
"difficulty" : 0.05863029,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : 4,
"hashespersec" : 751,
"networkghps" : 0.00307092,
"pooledtx" : 3,
"testnet" : false
}

[chiguireitor]

I was going to give up the ghost but I have this on my watchlist and noticed a wallet update and thought maybe some of my connection errors would be fixed but now it seems like i'm just spinning my wheels again. Is it already too late to be solo mining for this?

Nope... Mine away!

EDIT: To know how much you've mined, getbalance should do

Big thank you to rfcdejong for taking over 1 hour to look at the code to try to implement rpcthreads function.
Slimcoin wallet is so outdated (Old Peercoin fork) it will take hundreds of file modifications to implement this feature.

thanks, but i'm not happy with it being that old, which isn't a bad thing but just so many changeset's (bugfixes) aren't included in the code which are fixed in the bitcoin code and alot of other coins

look at the litecoin code, it's implemented in there
https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master-0.8/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp

even a simple changeset as "Sleep()" into MilliSleep() isn't done

it's the fact that Peercoin hasn't implemented the functionality, and slimcoin is "forked" from peercoin

look at the peercoin code, no StartRPCThreads method
and search for -rpcthreads (you won't find it)

6 days have passed since launch – as there's no block explorers and the like yet, here's some basic graphs:
(if you want to ask anything about a specific graph, please only quote that graph (or refer to it by title), as these posts are relatively big)

Well there are only two possibilities, slimcoin dev is Satoshi Nakamoto, working on his local git branch OR a fucking idiot for not implementing bugfixes 2010-2014.

[rfcdejong]

i just modified my post a bit..

it's being forked from peercoin is the issue here
should had forked from litecoin to be closer to the bitcoin branch

but then again, slimcoin might use the Staking functionality from peercoin


Does anyone know if there is another PoS coin where -rpcthreads is implemented?

Owner of block 5442: Fix your computer's clock - it is off by 2 hours
Owners of blocks 5366, 5312, and 5198: Might also want to double-check your clock sync, they may be off a bit more than is expected as well.

The latest wallet keeps corrupting the database.
Slimcoin: Error loading blkindex.dat

Try runing and closing slimcoind (slimcoind stop, not talking about forced kill sigint) 2-3 times and it will eventually corrupt the blockchain db.

Thanks for the spam, I guess.

on-topic: Good to see a quick fix
