Just an update,
https://github.com/kryptoslab/slimcoin/releases/tag/v0.3.2.1
Release has been updated with Linux and Raspberry Pi binaries, as well as a blockchain snapshot at 126100.
That's right, the Pi binaries are finally up as well! To celebrate I just burned a huge chunk of my SLMs on the Pi!

Has anybody been in touch with the original dev? At some point, either the OP will need to be updated, or a new thread will need to be created. Looking good though!

Just happened to see it as it was sent! Received
Sent 100 SLMs as test from the new client. If you get it I will send my donation. Thanks for hard work.
I sent you a block of 15 SLM the other day. I'll send you another block now.
Keep up the good work! A new block explorer and a pool would be perfect I think.
Anyone knows blockquarry pool admin? He has SLM pool before and I think he will be happy to host the new daemon for his pool.

I am planning to give SLMs away faucet-style, but tied to IP and the web-wallet mining itself (ala lucky draw while browser mining), so will welcome donations for spreading more SLMs around and get people excited about it. You can donate SLMs to Sg72f5icXXAjrdV7o15ZrFdj9CvNaTZwS1; this is what feeds the browser mining rewards (besides the rewards from mining, that is).

As I understand it, PoB block generation is 'random' after each new PoW block anyway. At the low percentage return PoS is perhaps more of a hindrance, both from the technical and economic perspective. A new pool should bring plenty of 'CPU only' miners to secure the network. Slimcoin being one of the few 'CPU only' coins left in the crypto sphere.
Exactly my thoughts. Thanks BitcoinFX.
We should also thank d5000 as they have helped to bring much new interest for Slimcoin.
I have started a thread about Slimcoin in Peercointalk forum:
http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=3461.msg33518;topicseen#msg33518
I probably will also a separate thread about proof of burn in one of the main sections, as the block generation method even can be useful for Peercoin or NuBits in the future.

Sent my next donation. ^^
Your client works great, although I didn't try to resync the blockchain from the scratch.
Btw I have an expert in block explorer here in my contact and he's interested in providing us a new explorer. How does that sound ?

Both 1 GB RAM VPS instances running Slimcoin have remained stable with low RAM usage and even with a bunch of other applications running, thus far. So, the block pruning and other changes appear to of worked in that regard - log files are also much reduced in size as expected.
I did see an Estimated Total Block count of 470000 on one VPS, although the Current Number of Blocks was correct with the node in sync. Restarting the client fixed that ofc.
Original dev. Slimcoin should be interested in the changes / improvements and may look to move them into the main / now old branch. He is / was contactable by using the email address presented in the Slimcoin white paper and also via forum PM ofc. If not and if the checkpoints continue to present an issue moving forward then entirely removing PoS is perhaps the best option after all.

Hmm.. Deleting the blockchain and compiling a123's fork from source has me sync'd with no error displaying,
Oh hmm that's strange, the error showed up for my Windows exe after fully syncing. I'll go check if I compiled the right version!
[edit]
Yea the files I compiled contained the checkpoints, hmm. Not sure the qt side includes any other checks?
[/edit]

I noticed it as well, and realised the checkpoint error needs to be cleared with @slimcoin's private key encoding the sync checkpoints. The corresponding public key is hard coded into the source. The checkpoints we added will not remove the error message.
This seems to be a feature of the Peercoin; though it appears more applicable as a defensive mechanism on a pure PoS. I'm actually kinda uncomfortable with this checkpointing system, which seems kinda antithetical to the purpose of cryptocurrencies.
I could disable it, any thoughts on this though?

Would seem to be a big improvement overall.
Still getting the Checkpoint error, but I guess that will clear if the blockchain is downloaded a fresh - not doing that just now though and will just let it run over 24hrs for error checking etc.

Took forever, but I finally managed to compile both slimcoin-qt and slimcoind on Windows.
Latest commit:
Added 5 hard-coded seed nodes: [37.187.100.75, 5.9.81.9, 192.3.21.71, 107.181.250.216, 107.181.250.217]
Fixed some header issues (not sure if bug or just my configuration)
Release Notes:
Incorporated all of Slimcoin's changes since last release: Improved PoS cpu usage, Disk read efficiency, Reduced mem requirements, RPC improvements
Incorporated some of my changes: Bans misbehaving old clients, added checkpoints, added seed nodes, turned off PoS by default
You can download the Windows-Qt release at https://github.com/kryptoslab/slimcoin/releases

Good job! Will test this on my windows VPS now.
