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

[ArchitektoR]

Hehe, the sheeple are regrouping

Problem?

[jonnylatte]

I have the dcrypt function working on a GPU already using the pseudocode from wikipedia for sha256 and the buffered method. Its just a matter of taking or writing some network code to feed in a valid block header to use as a template and then scan through the results for found blocks/shares and send the results back. I have network code I understand (because I wrote it) that gets work from jsonrpc so that will get done first and I'm sure Stratum is not difficult. The other option is using the CPU miner code but a quick look at how it mines shows something slightly incompatible with what I think is needed (it loops through nonce individual and returns nonce for found block/share, where as I may need to be able to send back multiple shares so I'll have to learn what to change in code I don't fully understand the process flow of, perhaps someone could help me with that but I dont want to give away the GPU code as anything other than a release of the client for cynical reasons) I also want something that can mine in a pool but then fallback to solo mining if the pool stops working.

Right now I have to sleep though since its Australia outside here.

a123 back from vacation yet?

So this coin dead or what?
Blockquarry pool haven't found a block since 19th of July.

I have a problem with the slimcoind. after wallet starts, some time it work normall, and then it take up all available memory. By the time it can begin after a few hours, sometimes a few days after the launch of the wallet.
os: ubuntu server 14.04x64 wallet builsed from source.
any ideas?

[forevernoob]

Are you guys solo mining?

[pantheist]

welp, looks like I wasted a chunk of change :\

I slowly suspect that he has connection with the one who dumped massive SLM on bter months ago.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Well too bad I'm still keeping all my SLM.

Heh, could be. Keepn mine too. I was considering using some spare btc I have to buy more just for the hell of it, but I don't know why.

Happy New Year to all true Slimcoin believers!

I guess Slimcoin is the only altcoin missing opensource GPU miner. What a shame! Here it is. It gives 22kH/s on Radeon 7870 and there's a lot of room for improvement.

New GPU miner looks interesting.

Has the network calmed down or are there still multiple forks? I still have 200 SLM in my client, will that be enough to PoB mine? I don't think I've ever created a block, either through CPU dcrypt PoW mining, or PoB. I was running the client for more than a month before I gave up.

Coin appears to be mostly worthless and developerless again, but with 200 slm burned you'd average a block every 11 days or so.

I seem to have successfully burned some coins using slimcoind burncoins "" 10

I seem to have gone past the 10 confirmations, but nothing further has happened; "listburnminted" is empty, and there is nothing in the transaction list besides the send of the 10 coins.

Am I missing something? Is there a page that explains the process? I had assumed that PoB mining was automatic. Or did that RPC command really discard those coins for good?

edit: wild guess,

    {
        "Net Burnt Coins" : 10.00000000,
        "Effective Burnt Coins" : 9.99934600,
        "Immature Burnt Coins" : 0.00000000,
        "Decayed Burnt Coins" : 0.00065400
    },


Once Effective Burnt Coins reaches zero, I mint a PoB block?

[BitcoinFX]

Slimcoin is still alive and well.

Congrats on the open source GPU miner, will take a look at it.

My US nodes are still online 107.181.250.216 and 107.181.250.217 (not sure about the other hardcoded nodes in the slimcoin.club Peer List at present). NOMP pool is down though. So, solo mining only for now it seems.

I continue to run the wallet and have been burning more coins.

10 coins is not enough for a regular PoB income. You will probably find some blocks, but don't expect this to occur very fast (in some months, perhaps). The rate of "findings" is random, so it can be today, or in one year.

100 or even better 200 SLM coins, for now, are costing only 10-20 USD cents and you have a real chance to find blocks regularly if you burn them (one in about 1-2 weeks).

Effective Burnt Coins is a mechanism to prevent that if you burn coins you will have income forever, that would disproportionally benefit early adopters. This value will decrease to 0 in the lapse of 1 year and determinates your chances to find blocks. So basically, your chances are smaller every day, but not "significantly" smaller until some months have passed.

I know, it's a pretty complex concept, but it has some interesting properties. If you want to take a read, see http://en.bitcoin.it/Proof_of_burn.

I today have changed some of my shitcoin collection to SLM, I think it has an attractive price now. Even if a123 really has left and dumped his coins (his website is still alive and working), he has provided us a stable client without the memory problems former clients had. So his intervention was productive for SLM

OpenCL miner update

New version works 2-2.5 times faster on AMD GPUs (50kH/s on Radeon 7870).

I had to resync, but now I am stuck at block 111988. The block hash of this last block is the same as the one of the BChain.info block explorer (0000000c7f41c27ec383445c9b5dcf4b428fe09079ac1e6ab39dbc6217273ff4), so I guess I am on the main chain, but can't continue to download blocks. Anyone knows what I can do?

I've tried BitcoinFX's nodes but don't get more blocks. I have also deleted blockchain several times but no luck. But the block explorer is on block 205177+, so there must be a way ...
