We have a fork!!

Everything seems to work as expected. Updated wallets should be fine.

ToDo:
chainz has not been upgraded yet.
Android wallets have not been upgraded yet either, but the next release of coinomi will be up to date.
smly mining at hashlink is similarly down.
We'll send out some (interim) pool information tomorrow.

Don't forget to upgrade: The hard fork will occur today! [actually more likely tomorrow morning, sorry!]

If you are setting up the new SMLY wallet on a Linux machine and have an old .smileycoin directory then it may be best to rebuild the databases:

First stop the server and then move the .smileycoin directory to a backup and copy back only the wallet.dat and smileycoin.conf files:

mv .smileycoin .smileycoin-bak
mkdir .smileycoin
cp .smileycoin-bak/wallet.dat .smileycoin
cp .smileycoin-bak/smileycoin.conf .smileycoin
After you have compiled the new server, start it as usual and it will rebuild the entire database.

If you are feeling adventurous: The new wallet can be obtained with
git clone https://github.com/tutor-web/smileyCoin

Feel free to try this out and please let us know of any problems.

Make sure that you have taken a backup of your wallet.dat file first!

The list of mods is almost done. Expect an announcement tomorrow of a target date (block) when the changes will be come active. The announcement will be put here as well as in the OP.

This will be a hard fork!


Likely date: middle of next week.

Main changes:
  • Coinbase split becomes default behaviour
  • Multi-algo wallet
  • Revised difficulty calculations
  • Existing pools will be replaced by multiple p2pools
  • New wallets and p2pool software will be made available on github
  • SMLY Android wallet needs to be (temporarily) replaced by the coinomi wallet

Wow it shows my donation receiving payments as 'mined' in the wallet.  Amazing!   Shocked

The first block using the proposed coinbase split was generated today. See block 212106:

1000 SMLY to the miner (and pool fee)
4500 SMLY for donation
4500 SMLY in dividends


This is being implemented as optional at the moment, but it will become mandatory eventually.

Note that current pool software is unlikely to support this. Modified p2pool software will be made available.

do you know where the Auroracoin foundation office is in Reykjavik?
I didn't even know you have one :-)

Our team has been looking at the changes needed to convert SMLY into a multi-algo coin. This is a fair bit of work and it's probably less of a change to convert the AUR wallet into a SMLY wallet.

This way we'll get the following hashing algorithms: Grøstl, Qubit, scrypt, SHA-256, Skein.

We don't really need SHA-256 and this doesn't give us X11, but neither aspect is really a show-stopper.

As always, comments are welcome.


Would be terrific to see these two Iceland-based coins working together. Hopefully there can be sharing of developer resources to the benefit of both projects.

Yes!

I was so happy and felt lucky when I saw this particular link and coin. I'm in 300 Levels (Final year) of my undergraduate studies (Bsc in Computer Vision).I'm a self funding student but now, I am currently stuck and needs assistance. Am posting this here because the coin promised assistance in education. Please kindly assist me. I am so passionate about education, I wanna study, I have good grade (Distinction) in my previous studies. I need to raise 15,000USD. any assistance rendered will be appreciated. Please kindly let me know if you need proofs, So that I can send my school documents to you and even also school contact, in case you need to write them for confirmation

Thanks dev for considering poor people like us and for inventing a coin like this.

There are two ongoing mechanisms:

  • The Smileycoin rewards are obtained directly and automatically by studying in the tutor-web, at http://tutor-web.net
  • The Education in a Suitcase project specialises in providing the tutor-web software to low-income regions by crowdfunding or getting grants. This is directed at entire schools or classes and is built up through cooperation with local teachers and administrators.

Its a pure POW of hybryd ( POW + POS ) coin ?

It basically becomes a hybrid POW+POS.

seems to me like an attack to get cheap smileycoins... just sayin..
mmm. sure looks like it.
yeah need more pools..

let me know if I can help in PM.  I will set up something if someone can tell me what to do.
thnx

I do not necessarily think it is good to give financial rewards for educational achievements directly to the students...however I generally support educational efforts and alt-finance and love the side projects (setting up internet, etc. in under-served regions..)!

Yeah, paying students money is hotly debated by lots of people. We're just interested in finding out what we can do to get students to study :-)

i.e. it's initially just  a research question.

-- and also to see whether we can have an impact on education in low-income regions: A dollar isn't much up here but consider a region where a family may live on a dollar a day and there is no tradition of getting an education. Maybe it will give more justification to education in the students' surroundings if they're making the occasional dollar from studying.

Less hops. More wins.

Multi-algo is probably good idea..
