Slimcoin pool is not on the correct blockchain.
Their last block found does not match the hash on the block explorer, which is on the correct chain: http://www.blockexperts.com/slm

I will write to the admin of slimcoinpool regarding this.

THX!
Please post the information here when they will switch to the correct blockchain. Till this time I'm stopping mining at this pool Sad

I have question about slimcoinpool.com

My stats at slimcoinpool says:
paid: 156.xxx SLM
unconfirmed: 470.xxx SLM

But in my wallet I have only 24.xxxx SLM (and also 1.5SLM burned).
Wallet v0.3.2.0-2-g53d7c33-alpha fully synced.

Why slimcoinpool says 156.xxx SLM paid when less than 30 SLM have been paid?

Can anyone who uses slimcoinpool.com advise if they have actually received any payouts. I am a slow miner( 2KH/s), however had approx 350 SLM mined, and the site showed that it had sent approx 300 slm however I never received the coins to my wallet, and the TXhash shown appear not to be know - this was a couple of days back now, (ref http://slimcoinpool.com/worker/ST8Ahgj8xvoQY38HsQvLVHpp8FfyDQSFzh)

My slimcoin wallet shows as fully synch'd with 34 connection so appears to be up to date.


I swapped over to last night to slm.blockquarry.com, and even though I have the below shown in my miner and 13,944 valid shares in the site apparently I have zero earnings.
[2014-08-06 10:03:19] accepted: 1795/1802 (99.61%), 2.15 khash/s (yay!!!)

I know things are a little bit rough and ready currently but can anyone advise if I just need wait or it does sound like something is wrong?

thanks

For anyone interested the Slimcoin pool at https://slm.blockquarry.com is back up and running. We appear to be in sync with the correct block chain at block 59904 which agrees with the block explorer.

It is always the quickest to sync using: "-connect=212.75.31.155:41684".

What's happened to the seed node built into the client, dnsseed.slimcoinpool.com? Does not resolve.

My client didn't find any peers until I forced a connect to 76.127.202.17 (mentioned earlier in this thread).

You may want to consider fixing/adding seed nodes so that new users do not need to fiddle with client configs.

Just installed slimcoin for the first time. Heights are all over the place. Is this because of crazy forking, or is it just coincidental that the majority (all but 1?) of the peers my client has connected to are not synced?

Code:
        "height" : 15164,
        "height" : 15164,
        "height" : 15157,
        "height" : 15164,
        "height" : 42547,
        "height" : 10515,
        "height" : 35306,
        "height" : 16927,
        "height" : 35587,
        "height" : 58389,
        "height" : 25550,
        "height" : 7052,
        "height" : 42925,
        "height" : 17772,
        "height" : 15443,
        "height" : 15164,
        "height" : 11323,
        "height" : 43666,
        "height" : 16270,

I've been stuck at 58371 for 45 mins, so something funny is definitely going on.

edit: and about 2 mins after I post this msg it starts syncing again, now synced to block 59796 (30 seconds old)

edit2: watching the debug log I can see many peers seem to be stuck in the classic infinite loop where they request a set of blocks, decide they are invalid (since they're on a fork), but then request the same blocks again, over and over. I guess the massive variation in heights is due to forking.

Put the following in your slimcoin.conf file "addnode=76.127.202.17" exactly as it is.

Great it worked !!

Thanks

If you cannot sync, try using -connect=212.75.31.155:41684 instead. Also make sure you deleted you blkindex.dat, blk0001.dat, and addr.dat files.

Hi,

Where do I put the "-connect=212.75.31.155:41684" ?

In the slm.conf file exactly as it is ?

Is this profitable?

No, at the moment it is broken (keeping in sync with the network is impossible) and completely unprofitable. Waste of time.

Still looking to sell 19k burned SLM...

imagine that the initial price when it was on Bter.

New Update

TL;DR: The client will now use less cpu resources and the blocks will propagate faster.

I looked around the source code to see where the PoS was using so much CPU usage. I finally found it today, it was actually an issue with how the PoS used the block.GetHash() function so freely. I forked this off of Peercoin, so the GetHash() used double SHA256, not that intense. Dcrypt is much, much more intensive, yet it was called in the same places. I made changes that removed the need to call GetHash() at all on PoS. I ran an absolute worse case test and it used 50% of 1 core. On normal usage, PoS used 8-10% on 1 core, compared to the 3-5% on 1 core with PoS disabled. I even looked further into making PoS use less cpu, the portion that adds the 5% cpu usage to the client is part of the core of PoS, and cannot be optimized. I searched for other places in the client that could suffer from a similar issue of excessive calls of GetHash(). I found 2 more in the "getdata" command and the "block" command the nodes send to each other.

I can confirm this update fixes the block propagation issue.

Really great news Smiley
more smooth, more  stable.
great effort.

Has anyone felt any difference in the PoS cpu usage issue in the last update?

I was running a client cpu-bound to a single G1620 for PoS both before and after, and cpu utilisation appears to drop from about 25ish to 15ish. But it's hard to say as I wasn't monitoring the utilisation in particular.
