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

[slimcoin]

I pushed a new non-mandatory update that includes the signrawtransaction and sendrawtransaction rpc commands.

[TheRealSteve]

Slimcoin now has a blockchain explorer at http://www.blockexperts.com/slm!

Very nice!  Glad they got it up and running after the changes

[BTMan]

VERY GOOD FOR UPDATE THE TOPIC.

[ustcstone]

the difficulty has been this high before due to PoS blocks. but the network hash rate of 9mh seems to be a all-time high.

My coins are in my wallet since 1 week and 4 days ago... and still no stake... how to fix this?

me too!is this a bug?

great

but it's doesn't allow address searching yet.. and missing a richlist for some people

and is buggy with PoB amount, says 7.74 on a PoB block which must be a PoW block

http://www.blockexperts.com/slm/height/35610

[slimcoin]

That block is listed as PoW?

[TheRealSteve]

appears to be listed as PoB on the main page (the list of blocks) - probably just a glitch
( still needs fixing, of course )

[slimcoin]

Could I have more feedback regarding having a switch to enable/disable PoS minting on the client. See my long post 1 page back for details.

[rfcdejong]

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..

To quote myself (and leaving that big picture out)...

i know why it was slow.. i was having all JSON set to log into the console window, lol

Now it parse ~20 blocks per second into the database, while mining slimcoin...

Better would be a button on the client instead of a startup parameter, but i don't have issues with PoS because i burn all.. don't ask me

 Same for me...

Block propagation issue has not been completely fixed. I am running 10 qt clients in total and at least 20 times a day i need to restart one because they stop syncing.

If i leave them long enough (20 min - 1hour) they sync by themselves.

[rfcdejong]

i found something strange with old blocks, it's not the explorer, it is the blockchain which has wrong timestamp on block 11807, which is a proof-of-burn block... it's 5 minutes in the past?

those PoB Blocks are in the past... might be correct, but it looks odd  (or might be because the blocks are old)

    Should have button in addition, not instead because when you run wallet headless it could be difficult in this case to deactivate POS...

[theprofileth]

I think someone needs to get some new windows binaries up given that the stake reward has changed and the PoB targetting has changed so allowing clients that are not up to date just screw people over who dont have the proper tools to compile.

[slimcoin]

They have not changed yet, I still have not pushed the updates.

[jadefalke]

i think a POS on/off would be nice, but would it not be easier to just set the Reserve to 5000 to avoid the Client staking?
If you want to stake you can lower the Reserve manualy.

thank you for your hard work.

If i leave them long enough (20 min - 1hour) they sync by themselves.

I might be noticing the same issue. I'm running a custom front-end that interfaces 2 daemons on separate machines at highest priority, over 2 different ISPs through 2 different continents (Asia and US, via SOCKS proxy) and feeds the miners the highest block count work, and the front-end regularly reports de-synchronisations (> 1 block difference) that resolves only after many blocks.

In spite of this, I still occasionally get consecutive chunks of orphan chains, that seem somewhat dependant on network load (I.e. I don't see any orphans when network hash is ~ 3 mhps, but now I'm seeing like 20% orphan rate, and they come in chunks: i.e. t+0 accepted, t+1306 orphan, t+1418 orphan, t+1530 accepted, where t is about 3 hours before this post) so I assume even these two daemons don't seem to be working well.

However, the mining pools don't seem to be orphaning as much, so it might just be an localised latency issue for me, so I'll be grateful for any advice.

Somehow my client isn't finding any PoB anymore past 30 hours, maybe there is something changed?
I normally find between 3 and 6 PoB every 24 hours.

2200 SLIM burned..
