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

[AizenSou]

Hey guys,

whats the maximum block height currently ?

We need to pool

I'm building one, but I need to download the whole blockchain before.. i'm on block 3300 now

Current number of blocks  134905

I'm at 35k now.. will take some time..

Nice that we have ocminer here. All my CPUs are in preparing mode. ^^.

I'm at 35k now.. will take some time..

you can grab the blockchain snapshot from https://github.com/kryptoslab/slimcoin/releases up, it goes up block 126100!

i also just finished setting up the NOMP @ stratum+tcp://www.slimcoin.club:41680, just to see what are the problems faced by pool makers. a lot of issues! particularly cos our client is an old pp fork which doesn't handle batch RPC, and I had to write a RPC proxy from scratch just for that. don't know whether it works cos i don't have that kinda hash power to claim a block, you guys can just try it out and see if it works

looks like a next todo is to port dcrypt and pob to the peercoin devel github tree.

(not claiming first pool, will help with pool setup if ocminer or any exp pool owners are using nomp)

GPU tools can be developed？

Also, zero connections (3.2.1 from climcoin.club). Any nodes?

I found peer list here: 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613213.msg9145085#msg9145085

addnode=192.3.21.71:41682

addnode=203.20.114.252:41682
addnode=5.9.81.9:41682

Thanks, deadreply.

And window size is still the issue. It's not even possible to make it any smaller. So I use an external monitor for the wallet now.

cpu mining only is intentional

Ok, fixed some bugs with the temporary NOMP pool I've set up, looks like its counting shares now!

Stats page is at http://www.slimcoin.club:8081/, stratum port is 41680.

I don't have the hash power to mine a block anymore, so not sure if it works!

First other pool bounty still holds - 2.5K SLM.
First pool to hit 2MHs - 2.5K SLM.

So, are these on any markets other than bter? Volume is kinda low there :\

Seems to be working OK.

I'm mining with a build of slimminer on windows in cgywin and seeing accepted shares.

Everyone can find the guide for building a working slimminer here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613213.msg7090075#msg7090075

However, its probably best to use the slimminer repository instead of the siklon one, as there were some 'official' commits after this post I think.

Did anyone ever build a standalone windows slimminer.exe ?

A cloud mining guide for Digital Ocean can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613213.msg7138570#msg7138570

Again, its probably best to use the 'official' slimminer repository to compile from.

Going to try and get it mining on an Ubuntu 14.04 instance at https://www.vultr.com/?ref=6812809 - where anyone can get a free $5 1 x CPU cloud instance - if folks want to help test the new pool.

Mix-and-match my guides from here: http://boolberry.blue/boolberry-cpu-cloud-mining-guide.php - which should get it working for the new NOMP pool.

Code:

./minerd -a dcrypt -o stratum+tcp://www.slimcoin.club:41680 -u YOUR SLIMCOIN ADDRESS -p x --scantime 15 --retries -1 -t NUMBER OF THREADS

Oh, best to hold fire on the above - looks like the new pool is offline.

[ocminer]

https://slim.suprnova.cc is up - we need to find a block though.. Not 100% sure if it works, this is a extremely strange algo, i will probably have to tweak some settings concerning the hashrate, but first i'd like to try if we can find a block or not.

Good stuff! Looks like the daemon 'died' at the NOMP pool or a123 is testing or fixing something.

I'll try mining at your pool in cgywin. Indeed dcrypt algo is a fairly interesting one.

The difficulty is still going up and up, more people are finding slimcoin and soon it is going to be added to several other exchanges...

Reporting shares found at https://slim.suprnova.cc using cgywin compile of slimminer on windows.

No blocks found yet though ofc.

Checking and verifying compile instructions for slimminer on Ubuntu 14.04

[BitcoinFX]

Yep. The following will build a working slimminer to mine at https://slim.suprnova.cc on Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 14.04 (and Debian probably)

CTRL + ALT + T (to open a new terminal window)

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev

Code:

git clone https://github.com/slimcoin/slimminer.git

Code:

cd slimminer

Code:

chmod +x autogen.sh

Code:

./autogen.sh

Code:

./configure

EDIT: For a More System Optimized Build Use:

Code:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" ./configure

Code:

make

Now create an account at: https://slim.suprnova.cc/ and set-up a worker.

Code:

./minerd -a dcrypt -o stratum+tcp://slim.suprnova.cc:9997 -u YOURWebLogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword --scantime 15 --retries -1 -t NUMBER OF CPU THREADS

Check the pool dashboard. DONE - (yay !!!) - your now mining Slimcoin's !

N.B. The pool needs to find its 1st block to verify that everything is working properly.

[BitcoinFX]

Thinking that its probably possible to do some sort of 'hybrid-ASIC' SHA256 + CPU mining of the dcrypt algo as demonstrated by MediterraneanCoin.

Ooh good news! And 2 MHs already too. Once we have a few blocks to confirm, this would probably be good

Yea my NOMP server died on a submitblock call. Apparently that crashed the slimcoin daemon Not sure why, debug.log has no details, will look into it a bit!

So I know I could make a spreadsheet to figure this out, but I love the convenience of the burn calc on slimcoin.club  - any chance you could add something that says how many days until you break even and how many effective coins will be left on that date?

A few assumptions made: difficulty unchanged from last PoB, no new burnt coin.

For 10000 SLMs burnt, it will show

83.025724 SLMS GENERATED PER DAY, 14.27 SLMS DECAYED, 120 DAYS TO BREAKEVEN, 8425.162778 BURNT COINS LEFT AT BREAKEVEN

Do you know if the rate of decay changes as a function of increased difficulty?

Decay is a fixed constant that depends on the number of PoW blocks generated since burn: 1.00000198 per PoW block, burnCoins = nCoins / pow(BURN_DECAY_RATE, depthInChain);

For the slimcoin.club calculator, I just assumed 720 blocks per day are PoW (i.e. 3 PoW and 1 PoB), and thus I hard-coded the decay per day is 1.00000198 ^ 720 = 1.001427...
