[ANN] SMLY- smileycoin - for rewards in education

[gstefans]

Good news: We will have the first experimental run of students getting to use SMLY buy cups of coffee on the University of Iceland campus. This will be a one-month test case, in November 2015.

University officials are sufficiently interested that they will help us by subsidising the coffee in this first round.

We're planning to simply install an Android tablet running a wallet right beside the till. If anyone with more experience can tell us about pitfalls in similar experiments please let us know :-)

Good news :-)  Let us know how it goes.

Cryptopia are taking their time adding this coin, eh?   

Yes, I've just sent them a polite question...

  hi gstefans I am part of the cryptopia team and glad you made it here I have seen your support ticket but I am only a mod I cant help the owners are the only ones that can help you with that and our
good friend sa_ddam213 has been on vacation this week at a wedding. I would like to add with the dif level being so high on smiley it might be best if the students buy a coffee card the night before they run out because the block time is around a hour so if they want to drink now it would be a better idea for your students. if you or anyone else has questions please direct them at me in the cryptopia  email at username shotgun I will be more than happy to find the answer for you. I have been mining and trading for 2 years now.

Hi shotgun
Thanks for informing us. Of course there is no real hurry - I was just wondering whether there was a problem.
Yes the SMLY difficulty has been bouncing around a bit too much.
In terms of coffee, we're thinking we'll just have the cashier see the student press the "Send" button and then not worry about it.
This is the method used in a bitcoin pub I know of -- the individual numbers are sufficiently low not to have much of an effect on anything.
There will be a separate tally of coffee cups anyway, since this is an experiment.
But yes, buying a coffee card would also be an idea.

Perfect. Thank you all!

Has anyone had any luck with depositing SMLY into cryptopia?

It's almost as if that wallet doesn't see incoming coins.

[gstefans]

Deposits to cryptopia seem to be fine now.

As you will have noticed, SMLY is traded at a fairly low exchange rate. This causes problems in a BTC-SMLY market. In effect, it is much better to trade SMLY in something like a DOGE-SMLY market. The problem with the DOGE-SMLY market on c-cex is that it does not count towards volume. For this reason volume has been cronically low on c-cex and we have been threatened several times to be thrown out of the exchange.

On the other hand, on cryptopia we are simply not registered on the BTC base market. This is perfect for the SMLY since the main market on cryptopia for SMLY  is now the DOGE-SMLY market.

A DOGE-SMLY market can easily handle any dumps by miners and a more orderly development of the spread, since it allows much better granularity in the price.

It will be interesting to see how the DOGE-SMLY markets develop on these two exchanges.

There is now a Smileybubble game in the Google Playstore, where you can spend your SMLY to buy features.

This is intended mostly as an example of how easy it is to accept SMLY in a computer game. The game simply talks to the SMLY wallet on the phone. Cool stuff!

SMLY can now be used for tipping at cryptopia.

Nice; was just thinking of asking about that!

You know what would be really cool: Get a base market using SMLY. That would mean a full market where every coin can be traded against SMLY. Now cryptopia has BTC, LTC, DOGE, DOT etc , total of 7 markets.

It's not free: It costs 2.2 BTC ...

Not particularly impressive, I know, but here is a QR-code for the Android wallet:

We've said all along that the SMLY is for rewarding students in the tutor-web system and we are particularly interested in getting this to low-income areas.

Next step: Get the tutor-web and SMLY on tablets into a Kenyan high school!

We need your help:

You can tip in the trollbox using SMLY, and it's been done a few times -- do you mean something else?
