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

[primer-]

Developer, release the fix for PoS difficulty asap, current rate of PoW blocks is just ridiculous!

[alinda]

I've bought some slim coins and I'd like to try and do some proof-of-burn, can someone give me a brief overview of how to do this?
thanks

Open the wallet, stay on the line, waiting.

to burn coin only tranfer coin to burn address and open wallet for 24 hours ?

no need cpu miner or sengenerate true in debug cosole?

Not for 24 hours, need to keep it open until they decay (takes almost a month for 100 coins to decay). No, you dont need setgenerate true, but you need to unlock the wallet if its encrypted.

That's proof of stake, there should be a "burn coins" tab, can't access the wallet atm to confirm, but should be something like that. Just choose amount to burn, and click the burn button.
If you have more than 20 burned, you'll probably occasionally gain 0.1 coins or so from it like I do.
It's not worth it unless you've bought a decent amount.

Thanks! I bought 2K worth from bter, and that's one of my main questions. How many should I burn to have a chance, and how often do i have to burn to keep the process going? I assume after a while you burn through all your coins and stop proof-of-burning.

Also, is it possible to use 'setgenerate true = -1' in the qt client and still get coins from POW?

Sorry for the newbie questions, but I was reading this thread for a while and couldn't find a simple quick start post.

   2K is the approximate amount I have burned so far.
   If you burn 2K SLM you can globally expect  1-2 block / day with the actual total amount of burnt coin but it is subject to variation.
   The size of the block as I know depends of the amount of burnt coins, so far it is around  17 coins
   If you want to maintain your chance at the same level you have to keep the percentage of your burnt coin constant regarding the total amount of burnt coins.
   Your wallet needs to be open for burning, (wallet online and unlocked)
 
   (You can access to the total amount of burnt coins and your burnt coins you by the command: getburndada)

PoS fix anytime soon ??

[g00gsy]

so is there a page anywhere in these 161 pages that properly explains this PoB concept?
 (cuz the snippets i read dont tell me anything apart from u can burn coins :/)
im not reading 160 pages to find out what should be in the OP!
and i also see no way to unlock my wallet, unless i have an old wallet
and once again there is no info in the OP regarding an updated wallet :/

maybee you try the PDF Document in opening Post?

There should be at least two people working on a block explorer, the dev and a third party who only accidentally landed here; but the latter reported an issue that needs to be addressed first.  In due time

I just started a test to see if i will be able to fill a  database with block information.
That database can be indexed and i will be able to create a simple frontend to start with.

I'm not sure if i continue with it, as i do too many things currently.
The RPC is really slow, so filling the database takes time..

Here i filtered on some proof of burn blocks

[Youghoor]

PoS fix anytime soon ??

yes is there is any news regarding the POS fix.

[primer-]

Developers that release coins and do not work on them full-time are fucking retards. At least for the first month or two!! We've been waiting for over a week for the PoS fix. Wallets with 2k coins are using up all CPU power due to the PoS bug. FIX IT!

The RPC is really slow, so filling the database takes time..

Is that with or without connections?

One thing in particular that's problematic is getting at transactions; can't get raw transactions through the JSON-RPC to find what address spent to what other address, etc.

with 7 connections..

i did not try transactions yet, just parsing blocks at the moment.. i will post some simple statistics in here soon like

- total pow blocks
- total mint by pow
- total pos blocks
- total mint by pos
- total pob blocks
- total mint by pob

something else people want to know?

Where is block cxplorer and difficluty chart?

[TheRealSteve]

Where is block cxplorer and difficluty chart?

You know the former is the subject of the 2 posts before yours, as well as the one 5 posts back from yours, right?
tl(azy);dr: There isn't a block explorer yet.
difficulty chart would follow from that - scroll back some pages to see what it looks like, as it continually adjusts and so looks a bit chaotic (compared to coins that have a set period / number of blocks for difficulty adjustments).

[rfcdejong]

stupid rpc, i didn't handle exceptions and now my parsing stopped at block 24787 with "System.Net.WebExceptionStatus.Timeout"

.. modified code to continue at the last hash found in database, to catch up

i will need to handle "orphaps" and "invalid" blocks..

soon more

how many coins exist?

it seems getrawtransaction is not implemented indeed, and gettransaction doesn't allow non-wallet transactions?
a block explorer won't be able to show transactions then.. or eh..

slimcoin dev, could you add the getrawtransaction RPC method?

for example from litecoin
https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master-0.8/src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp

[rfcdejong]

i can answer that in a minute or 10 or so

Correct

slimcoin dev, could you add the getrawtransaction RPC method?

I think that's what that other developer asked about - but I don't know, not privy to their PMs

I actually have a partial database of the things you can get with getblock() (which were the source of the graphs), but yeah a block explorer should be able to work on the current state of the chain and include all the usual info.  Though personally I don't care for some 'Slimcoin rich list', it seems it's popular. Lord knows why.

how many coins exist?

Try getinfo in the console.

Code:

getinfo
...
"blocks" : 31533,
"moneysupply" : 347488.41600500,

or via debug.log:

Code:

SetBestChain: new best=5d2a545e78a53fbb61b5  height=31533  trust=13321961995  moneysupply=347488.416005 nEffectiveBurnCoins=146778.282707

[rfcdejong]

i did it by database, not getinfo, but oke

Total blocks
SELECT sum(mint) FROM Blocks
347.663,10

Total by Proof of Work
SELECT sum(mint) FROM Blocks where prooftype = 0
237.618,64

Total by Proof of Stake   MUST BE WRONG !?  i guess because i use a decimal precision of 2
SELECT sum(mint) FROM Blocks where prooftype = 1
5,46

Total by Proof of Burn
SELECT sum(mint) FROM Blocks where prooftype = 2
110.039,00


don't forget there are coins burning
146.777,410846

so the total amount is currently
347.663,10 - 146.777,410846 = 200.885,689154
