[ANN] SMLY- smileycoin - for rewards in education

[gstefans]

There is still only a workaround (moving wallet.dat to a Linux machine will work to read it and transfer out of it).

We aim to have a proper solution later this month.

Any news on the macOS wallet issues?

Some notes on current development...

Current work on the SMLY web wallet includes reading encoded messages. This will enable on-chain purchases of discount coupons and the like, directly from the wallet, without any copying and pasting or going to a web page.

There are currently 20 companies and organisations who want to be accessible directly on the blockchain. This means that the wallet can look them up. This was originally designed for charities. Some of those are already listed in the web wallet along with several community libraries in Kenya.

There is no reason to limit this to charities -- in principle any company could register a service on the chain. The user can then find it directly from the wallet and send payment.

This is possible now for 9 organisations, 11 more want in and will be added shortly. The goal is to have 100 by the end of summer. A new feature will include a link to a web page, accessible from within the wallet. This will give a minimal "vetting" of the company, since the link has to be set up by someone with access to one particular listing page.

This will mean some reorganisation using submenus, which is also underway. Updates have been submitted so that a service listed on the blockchain can apply to several organisations and these then appear in a submenu in the wallets.

Several options are available for selling coupons and codes. In principle anyone who owns a coupon could list it for sale on the chain, but most of the applications are still in Iceland, where more companies will allow sales of their discount coupons over the next few months.

We need more of this internationally. It is pretty easy to set up. For example, it is almost trivial to buy an Amazon gift code and register this for sale for SmileyCoin, on the SMLY blockchain.

If you know of any companies or charities who would like to either receive donations in SMLY or sell coupons for SMLY, please get in touch.

We just got a new foreign aid grant to continue the project in the Kenyan community libraries.

This is the best news all year.

SmileyCoin as UBI

I've just tried to summarise the use of SMLY as UBI in the Kenyan slums

If you're monitoring the web-page for the Kenyan libraries, then you will have seen that we are just about to reach 1000 active users.

This is shown graphically in a figure describing
the number of activated accounts:
.

Also shown in this graph are the number of tablets bought for SMLY by students and the number of students who have earned the minimum of 1 M SMLY needed to buy a tablet.
These last curves are also shown in a different graph, just expanding on this

The web-wallet has been upgraded so any new wallet download comes with a few SMLY.

Easiest entry into crypto ever!

This post looks really weird now since the post is from mid-summer but the graph goes up to the present.

Don't worry, it's neither premonition not deep fake - the link is just  live so it shows the present state.

We're at about 1200 students.

You will have noticed that not much is happening on this page right now.

However, there are now 1400 students using SmileyCoin in 14 Kenyan libraries and we are poised to start setting up a use case in our first refugee camp.

Important stuff...

Our project is now active in a refugee camp:

I'm impressed that you are still pushing the project forward.

I'm impressed that you are still pushing the project forward.

Thank you

But we have a pretty good incentive to continue, what with 1500 students using the system in libraries in the slums of Kenya.

SMLY has been delisted from p2pb2b.

You have 14 days to withdraw your SMLY.

Reason: Low volume

[gstefans]

If you've been keeping track of SmileyCoin, you probably know that our main information outlet is now Patreon.

You also know that our largest user group has been students in Kenyan slums. Check back to the opening post to this thread to get an overview.

The most important recent news is that we have now added two sites in Ethiopia! More on Patreon.
