What really bothers me is that the dev used a real SLM address as the burn address. No one can be sure he does not hold the priv key for that address. He could have used a special address that can only be used to receive coins.

If it's a non-spendable address following the BTC rules, then it should be fine.

For example, see the Counterparty proof of burn process:

So primer, how much are my 7 something slm coins worth? I want to know so I can just get rid of this whole ugly ordeal, from the start the miner isn't optimized for any kind of mining. I know I can mine a lot better just alone, different algo or not.

I'm sorry slimcoin but I'm going to have to really just dump you this time and go for another coin, if it were more than one dev working on this and participating I'd say different but it isn't.

did'nt the Dev said that he is working on a new Wallet?

yes and a block explorer, but it seems our dev isn't a PR guy beside that he should plot out a roadmap

Seems philosopherstone is a branch (fork) from Peercoin and the dev has fixed some issues in philosopherstone

This one seems to be real good to merge into slimcoin

It might help with the sync problems (being stuck)

Code:
Faster Start up (20x) ; Faster syncing
New repairwallet removes all orphans and cleans up Recent Transactions

The wallet will stop syncing when a PoS block is found, always happened to me and requires to backup wallet.dat, delete, restart + resync, place back wallet.dat.

yea figured, burnt coins were mising so now resyncing after deleting everything and restoring backup

Over 48hours I can't get a burned block as my wallet can't sync as usual.

Yes, same here...

Yeah agreed that this coin wallet is very buggy, and dev is somehow too busy.
Btw there was a monster miner with over 2Mhs @ blockquarry pool. Bot net?

Miner is so unoptimized i would not be suprised if 10 servers can generate 2MH/s with an optimized code. I'm getting almost the same speed per core on my it 4770k and my 4 year old i7 920. My dual core is only half the speed of the 4770k. This is just wrong. Its not optimized at all.

Invalid transactions -> easy fix, since listtransactions work that shouldn't be to hard to fix then
There are unusual outgoing transactions, transactions to my own wallet for 0.XX, mining fee transactions that are over 0.3X instead of 0.01, etc.

Invalid icons -> easy fix

Dependant on invalid transactions.

PoS bug -> i really have no clue, but peercoin doesn't has so.. must be a error somewhere, hard to fix if you ask me

Terrible bug that should be fixed ASAP. You cant get any PoB blocks if the wallet keeps freezing.

rpcthreads -> alot of work, since peercoin doesn't has it either, it must be taken from litecoin

This is a must, not just for solo mining. I cant integrate my scripts with the wallet as only one connection is allowed at a time.

mining when encrypted -> PoS mining isn't possible when encrypted, PoW might be.. PoB i don't know
bug fixes -> aren't in peercoin either.

Mining PoW when encrypted is NOT possible. Minting PoB is NOT possible. PoS - i dont know and i dont care, 1% per year is worthless even for me with a huge number of coins.

OMG, BROKEN COIN!!!!!!!
I was wondering what caused my wallets to stop syncing every now and then.........

It's also to me. I thought it's only my one case. It's a noraml problem. That's sad.

Slimcoin is now on mintpal's voting list if anybody wants to pay them for votes.  It's currently #437 with 0 votes  Cool

I know a high-ranking mintpal employee, i will have it added when wallet is fixed.

That would be nice, but define 'wallet fix'.. the invalid transactions being shown?

Invalid transactions, Invalid icons (qt-wallet), PoS bug (wallet stops syncing), rpcthreads, PoW/PoB/PoS mining when wallet is encrypted. Bug fixes 2010-today

Invalid transactions -> easy fix, since listtransactions work that shouldn't be to hard to fix then
Invalid icons -> easy fix
PoS bug -> i really have no clue, but peercoin doesn't has so.. must be a error somewhere, hard to fix if you ask me
rpcthreads -> alot of work, since peercoin doesn't has it either, it must be taken from litecoin
mining when encrypted -> PoS mining isn't possible when encrypted, PoW might be.. PoB i don't know
bug fixes -> aren't in peercoin either.

And since Slimcoin has PoS there isn't any other wallet to branch from, all dependents on Peercoin. Unless the staking code AND burning code is cut loose and implemented on top of Vertcoin or so

PS: Vertcoin is ahead of litecoin with following bitcoin code, where vertcoin started as a fork / branch of litecoin it's now following bitcoin more.

Coins, Games & Miners
0.1BTC BOUNTY for a private pool setup guide on Ubuntu or Windows server.
Bounty is released once pool proves to be working after 1h of mining.

Conditions: I need to be able to point all my remote rigs to a single wallet



Dat botnet!  Cool


j/k  Wink

Not everybody on this forum is between 14 - 16 years old and has nothing else to do then to play botnet you know...

Would be nice to make a list somewhere

my old core2extreme X9650    3.0 Ghz    4 cores   ~ 2 kh/s
my miner cpu G3420              3.2 GHz    2 cores   ~ 1.8 kh/s
my new i7 4770                    3.4 Ghz    8 cores   ~ 4.25 kh/s

i'm running one windows azure A2 instance on ubuntu and i tested a 16 core A9 compute instance

basic A2                                           2 cores   ~ 0.88 kh/s
standard A9                                      16 cores  ~ 9.6 kh/s

How much are you people burning?
This is mine currently..

"Net Burnt Coins" : 314.77400400,
"Effective Burnt Coins" : 312.86937900,
"Immature Burnt Coins" : 0.00000000,
"Decayed Burnt Coins" : 1.90462500

Nice you burnt almost all your coins? How many coins did you get through PoB already?

no, i didn't burnt almost all my coins, but i'm doing now lol, until my goal is set: to be at least at 1% of the total amount burned.
i found more than 1000 coins, sold 200 of them in the first week when it was more expensive, and around 500 later on
