[ANN] SMLY- smileycoin - for rewards in education

[gstefans]

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.

No pool has worked for this coin since the 2017 fork...

I mine with 10- l3 + antminers if you explain me as miner from the wallet I am very grateful

You'll need to find someone else who knows how to connect the miner(s) to the wallet(s)...

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.

if you are lucky you will get blocks then you need to be more lucky to get your mined coins payments they to are messed up.

Looking at the pool output, they now seem to be mining SMLY -- and they clearly know that the miner's reward is not the same as the coinbase.

Please let us know if this pool actually works for mining SMLY...

Note that this pool is not a part of the coin development -- it is developed and maintained by the pool owners.

No other pool that I know of.

i tried mining some smiley (not using that pool, but my own mini pool) and all the blocks i found were not accepted by the network.
what mods are needing for mining pool software?
is it simply some percentage of the block reward payable to some charity address (like a pool fee?)
if so, what amount and to what address?

thanks!

The coinbase needs to be split in accordance with the wallet's rules. Only 10% become the miner's reward and the remaing 45%+45% need to go to a specific set of addresses, as donations and dividends, defined in the same way in all wallets.

well, i found the wallet source file richlistdb.cpp which allocates 45% based on block height modulo 10 from a list of addresses.
but i cant find any source file that explains how the other 45% is allocated. are you able to point me at a wallet source file(s) that would let me figure what i need to change in my mining software?

SmileyCoin is now listed on CoinLim.

See coinlim.com

This brings us back up to 3 exchanges:
https://p2pb2b.io/
https://www.southxchange.com/
https://www.coinlim.com/

The markets are slightly different, with USD-SMLY on p2pb2b; USDT-SMLY on CoinLim but several markets on southXchange (LTC, DOGE, BTC, USD).

A trade competition will be held at CoinLim.

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?

Prohashing (https://prohashing.com) recently added Smileycoin for mining and payouts.

Prohashing seems to assume that the coinbase is the same as the miners' reward, which it is not the case for SmileyCoin. The word "Block reward" is used on your page, and shown as 10 thousand SMLY. But the miners' reward is only 10% of the coinbase.

It may not be as profitable as your calculator implies (apparently still very profitable, just not this much).

I looked into this and it was decided to discontinue the coin due to low-quality daemon software.

The scrypt blocks are returning an error about an "EIASAddress," but searching the Internet for the term didn't reveal any documentation as to what that is or how to create transactions to resolve it.  More concerning, however, is that the daemon will return this error when scrypt blocks are submitted, but not when blocks for any other algorithm are submitted.  It silently succeeds for those algorithms, still submits the block to the network, the other nodes reject it, and the daemon wasted over $100.

This lack of testing on the part of the developers is unacceptable.  Real people's livelihoods are at stake here, and that was someone's salary for the day.

We will look into this. Thanks for pointing it out.

Oh dear, I am sorry - you got hit by some really bad karma: It was the shitty hash-alllocation scheme of prohashing which forced us to completely change
the mining setup in SmileyCoin in the first place.

It has worked wonderfully until now. Did you check out whether this is the same issue? https://github.com/tutor-web/smileyCoin/issues/23

This lack of testing on the part of the developers is unacceptable.  Real people's livelihoods are at stake here, and that was someone's salary for the day.

I can assure you that the problems with the prohashing hash-alllocation scheme cost us much, much more than a day's work!

But yeah, AFAIK there is only one SMLY mining pool at the moment and any pool owner trying to set up a SMLY pool may indeed find first-time bugs.

The SMLY team has never said that SMLY will work with your pool and we certainly do not accept responsibility for issues which may come up when someone tries to set it up with a new pool.

... and the daemon wasted over $100.

As noted in the previous post, the prohashing profit calculations for SMLY are at least a factor of 10 off. Did you take that into account?

$100 will buy some 3 million SMLY, which is the mining reward for every single block for 7 days of mining. Your claim just does not sound right.

[gstefans]

I'd like to make a list of active SmileyCoin pools.

So far I know of http://icopool.club/

If you know of others, please let us know...
