[ANN] SMLY- smileycoin - for rewards in education

[gstefans]

As everyone here knows, SmileyCoin has been used quite a bit for charity and education.

The Smiley Charity and Education in a Suitcase receive SMLY from every generated block, in the form of 10 income streams. We've talked about how to use it: The African Maths Initiative and UNICEF will receive some of it in sub-streams to be set up and automated.

We've also talked about possibly using one stream for Universal Basic Income. This could be really neat, but the problem is that you can't just print money for UBI -- it needs to be a part of a circular economy, something like UBI->purchase->tax->UBI, whatever "tax" means.

The SmileyCoin Fund receives applications for grants in SMLY. One grant has already been accepted: Refilling the tutor-web wallet for rewarding students for their studies.

It is time to consider the next step: Should we try to use (some of) the Transaction Fee to test a UBI economy, possibly supported by one of the 10 income streams?

Proposed implementation: Take a version of the wallet and modify it so that the TxFee is split up and sent to a bunch of UBI recipient addresses. Do this in a few iterations, starting with just a handful of addresses, then move on and have the addresses coded as UBI-addresses into the blockchain. Eventually figure out a registration mechanism.

This is neither a fork nor is it mandatory: It is just a subgroup of people who mine and send the TxFee out as a UBI. But this subgroup will probably insist on fees of at least 1 SMLY per Kb in their blocks and movements using UBI addresses 

Comments are welcome as always.

News flash:

You know about the 10 income streams/donations to charity, right? Since 2017, every block generated sends 4500 SMLY to an address handled by the Smiley Charity which runs the Education in a Suitcase project. 

The first two uses of these streams have been decided: split one stream up and send to the African Maths Initiative and UNICEF.

The first transmission went to AMI yesterday.

pools??

Since we split the coinbase and changed to 5 algos SMLY has been  (mostly) solo mined  from inside the wallets.

hello: when i put my wallet to mining in (https://icopool.club/) it appears that i am mining bdc and not smly; how do i mine this coin without errors ??

The pool probably does not support SMLY.

Solo mining means no pool!

All of this should work for solo mining...

All the algos should work fine from within the wallet (solo mining).

This is a typical smileycoin.conf - file.

Code:

connect=<IP-number> # optional - may want to do this to ensure a good connection; pick a stable server
rpcuser=smileycoinrpc # usual setting
rpcpassword=<your-password>
server=1
rpcport=14242  # normal setting - probably not needed at all
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
algo=skein
genproclimit=4 # pick a number which does not kill your computer, e.g.  1 or 2

In the command window (or on the command line) you can then give the command

Code:

setgenerate true

to start mining. This has worked fine on several different computers (mac, linux, whatever)...

I only miner with antminer l3 +

There are others mining SMLY using ASICs. I don't know their settings, but they set their mining software to get work from  their wallet instead of a pool.

p2pb2b.io will open the SMLY-USD market tomorrow, Monday Dec 16.

This will give a community of 200 thousand access to SmileyCoin.

The p2pb2b exchange has a Telegram group: https://t.me/p2pb2b_io

They are @p2pb2b on Twitter

Feel free to help out with announcements

Also, if you want to prepare, feel free to set up an account and transfer some funds to purchase SMLY on the exchange.

Note that this is the USD market, not USDT!! The USD markets are under their "Fiat" tab.

FYI, I am asking CMC to list the SMLY-USD market at p2pb2b, since this will now get the greatest volume.

I would like to know why every wallet I go into the pool tells me I'm mining Beyondcoin (BAtjk738baNpKLfnNrJ8fxASqK6E34MonU)

what does that mean?

AFAIK there is no SMLY mining pool.

What pool are you using?

Have you tried to read the postings above which tell you how to mine SMLY -- with no pool?

I am almost certain that this pool does not work as a SMLY mining pool. Note that their pool data seems to indicate that there is no mining for SMLY.

They have not been in touch -- and the pool software needs to be specially modified to accept SMLY.

Just use solo mining.

I was very fond of mining this coin because, I had mined it for a long time, but it had to be a good pool with no errors and no Orphan blocks.
