To sync onto the correct, longest, fork, use:

Simply start the client with '-connect=76.127.202.17 -maxconnections=1' once you are synced up, you can restart the client without those flags.

please contact the blockexplorer and pools to update their block chains

http://www.blockexperts.com/slm#  has an own fork, doing only PoS it seems
slimcoinpool is not running at all
https://slm.blockquarry.com/ seems to be on the wrong fork, but didn't found a block since 18/7  currently on block 63179 while the blockchain i'm on is at 70337

I am resyncing the blockchain.

Keep in mind that I haven't received any donations for this coin.  Wink

Block Explorer is in sync.

What will you do in the present to prevent future forks?

The reason for this fork was purely because of a small network. When the seed node went offline, all nodes simply went onto two different forks.

I have contacted all pools, explorers, exchanges, etc related to Slimcoin regarding the fork.

So, will you update the OP. It still has those old addnodes.

After the seed node is used, do we still have to use any addnodes after that?

Have you contact the mining pools and are they finally on the right fork?

What will you do in the present to prevent future forks?

The only explanation I have for these forks is that the network is still small. I have been (and will still continue) looking in the source for any "sync issues" that could be fixed.

As for the fork, expect a seed node shortly, I am almost finished.

Proof of burn is _not_ about burning all the coins you get. Imagine if all miners would do this in a pure PoB coin - there would be no coins left to trade, for eCommerce etc. It would be not a coin but a casino-like game as you couldn't do anything with the coin than trying to "profit". So a good PoB algorithm should not make "burn-dem-all" profitable (game theory basics).

The purpose of PoB is to find an equilibrium when a significant amount of coins are burnt but not all, sufficient to make an attack expensive. Maybe 5% or 10% per month. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_burn has some thoughts on it.

Now the forks are another issue, that should be resolved fast, I agree. But PoB is an completely new and experimental technology. I think the great problem of this coin is that it was added too fast to a major exchange (Bter). So there arrived people expecting to make profit, and are disappointed now. That's natural, but it doesn't mean "it's all over" now because of some forking problems and a small value.

I would really like to see a development community emerge for SLM or for the PoB technology as a whole, because I think it needs to be more than a one-man project and PoB has a lot of potential. (Unfortunately I'm not a developer, so I cannot help with the code, but I can do marketing and this kind of stuff.)

Happy that it works for you but I've lost my whole balance. It's ALL GONE.
If the dev comes up with a solution I would try it, but if not I'm gone and spreading the news so other investors don't get fucked in their arse by an incompetent dev.

Lost about 6000 SLM.

I'm still perfectly synced, on a good fork
1 wallet was confused a bit for a hour or two, but it's back on track now.

I have tried to send 5 SLM to bter to see if I'm on the right fork. Did not arrive even after 24h.
I have burnt about 7000 SLM and dont get anything out of it. I've wasted money.

@dev: Fix this. Fast. Or you'll lose even the last investor.

The reason for my hiatus was that I was indeed away on vacation. I could not take my computer, and subsequently, could not write from there. I am currently investigating the issue with the fork.

I have not abandoned Slimcoin.
Good news. Keep working on SLM. Wink

Where are you, dev? Sad We need you to get bugs fixed.

Its over you idiot. Go find some other shitcoin to support, this one is dead.

Why do you keep trying this coin when DEV run away, fork everywhere, wallet bugs, etc  Huh Huh

DEV seems to be on vacation, maybe it's the same DEV as GUE because he also is away since 8-8 ?
And about the fork, it seems it solved itself, my wallets are all on the same block with just the regular .conf, they aren't out of sync anymore.
A fork won't happen that fast if there are more nodes, people just need to keep their wallets open and turn on listen=1 (if they can keep it open 24/7)

Stability comes when the group is larger, there are less wallet bugs since the last version, slimcoin did a good job except he should communicate more and better.

My getmininginfo always gives me this:



Code:
{
"blocks" : 69328,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.04002995,
"errors" : "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers of the issue.",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"networkghps" : 0.00138651,
"pooledtx" : 1,
"testnet" : false
}

Is that warning okay?

I run with
Code:
-maxconnections=1 -connect=54.191.247.114

for some odd reason it also says I have 0 connections. I seem to get the latest blocks though....

How should you run this now?

Seems the network is stabilizing itself, i don't have any sync problems anymore
