Topic: [ANN] [SFR] SaffronCoin | Latest Version - 1.4.2/2.6.2 | Mandatory Wallet Update - page 15. (Read 437850 times)

Someone has started buying up the book on SFR.

Don't know if someone knows something we don't, but I guess there have been whispers that an update from the dev is coming, so maybe the update is now due. The price has gone up 300%, but in fairness, it was so low to begin with, it didn't take much.

Will be interesting to see what happens next, someone is clearly accumulating, but it's not a big gamble since it's so cheap.

We have a block reward reduction coming up around the 16th of March to 17 SFR a block instead of the current 21 SFR. I have updated my information post further up the page with the latest stats.

I once again ask the coin developer, who has recently posted in the thread, to update and tidy up the original post on the first page. If you're reading, please clean up all the dead links and old information  

Still nothing?

Which version wallet have you installed?

I've just installed the wallet but it won't sync. I have added then nodes to a saffroncoin.conf file. Is this correct? I did send some coins to the wallet but they not arrive in my wallet. Can someone help me with this?

Was trying to setup a p2pool node for this but it seems none of the available p2pool repositories are working. Any ideas?

Maybe pretty small community now, but a few people have stuck around. The coin is amazingly still being mined, and the blockchain working great, despite the minuscule price, market cap is only about 24btc at 100sat. The fact the coin still even works with so little interest really is a testament to the resilience provided by a multialgo coin.

Seems to have become an enthusiast coin for a few people rather than a get rich quick scheme like most other alts which is nice. Multi-algo is still a mostly unexplored area of Crypto, and SFR had a pretty good go at making it work, and chose a pretty solid set of 5 algorithms.

I've been trying to help get more people into mining with my update posts, and hope the dev can finally deliver some long overdue updates which have been promised =)

Wow community and coin is still alive. That's huge and interesting.

Can somebody list here the deps with correct versions, cause i'm not sure that the given ones are correct.

I have compiled some reward schedule information, and added it in to my post for those interested, since that a detailed block reward schedule is missing from the OP.

The block reward will reduce from 21 SFR to 17 SFR in just under 2 months time. See my post above for full reward schedule.

I agree. Bittrex has worked very fine for me, for a long time. But so has Poloniex.

Hi,

We've added SFR to the miners multipool: www.zpool.ca

We're mining it on ALL SFR's algos: x11, scrypt, sha256, myr-gr & blake!

Cheers!

SFR Healthcheck

Algorithms and pools

Sha		Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. Pool: http://ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=sfr
Blake		Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. Pool: https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/saffroncoin
Groestl		Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. Pool: https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/saffroncoin-groestl
x11		Not healthy. Blocks are occasionally mined by the new multipool, but only when profitable. No dedicated X11 pools available
Scrypt		Not healthy. Blocks are not being found due to high difficulty. Pool: http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8967/static/

Multipools
http://www.zpool.ca/
This multipool has added SFR recently, and is mining 3 algorithms on a profit switching basis (Sha, x11, Scrypt).

The great strength of multi-algo coins is that it is not dependent on only 1 hashing method. For instance, although 2 algorithms have been in poor health, 3 have been in continuous good health since the coin was launched, meaning blocks still generate, the blockchain keeps moving, and transactions get processed. Multi-algo coins are extremely resilient and have always been under appreciated. Saffroncoin is probably the best one out there, despite the lack of progress from the dev in recent months and a low price, it is still fundamentally a solid coin, designed by a skilled developer.

I think SFR technology is more undervalued... This algo blake256 14rounds is The way to future of crypto... And NOW is used for new altcoin in next ANN ... And SFR is the first altcoin adopted this algo ... Came on baby!!! 

120 sat it's small price for SFR. I buy SFR per Paypal (price in thet time- 3000sat in BTC) and mine Groesti algo. Hodl)))
Need breakthrough ideas. Otherwise, the coin dies.

Can you send the invite link?.

Thanks,

Thanks for creating this!

We also have a slack channel at saffroncoin.slack.com.

Do request invites.

Hopefully this will be a good sign that our COIN  will be alive once again as well as this community.
Posted a message there , maybe someone can answer me. Otherwise majority of Saffron coin nodes will be gone for good.

We made a telegram group for the saffroncoin community. Feel free to  join and lets rebuild our community. All are welcome. https://telegram.me/joinchat/BSOSMwMDna30dqGlTqut8A
