We have a difficulty issue again: One or more miners appear to have mining farms which automatically kick in with all their power when the SMLY difficulty drops and then automatically leave when the difficulty goes back up. This leads to the difficulty constantly bouncing up and down by a factor of 4.
So, in accordance with some of the suggestions above I propose that instead of a re-evaluation every 5 days (2400 blocks) and max-change of 4-fold, we re-evaluate every day (480 blocks) and reduce the max-change to 1.3-fold. This gives almost the same target 5-day behaviour (since 1.3^5=3.7) but is much simpler to apply.

Some comments on SMLY economics, following a 2-day workshop on the tutor-web and SMLY in Maseno, Kenya: http://tutor-web.info/news-1/smileycoin-economics/
Does anyone here have experience with publishing an app in the Google play store? We're thinking of publishing the Android wallet there and would appreciate any words of wisdom.
BTW We're also planning to indicate directly uses of the coins within the wallet, eg by linking to a web page or games accepting SMLY. The point being to give students more incentive: Earn SMLY by studying and spend them by purchasing new levels in a game. If you have pointers to an open source game which can be adapted to accept SMLY for in-game purchases, let us know.

The new version of the SMLY wallet for Android has direct links to the tutor-web for earning SMLY and to an exchange where you can spend them.
sounds like great features.I'll have a look

There is now an Android wallet for SMLY.

c-cex seems to be down. Does anyone know what is going on?
It's up now. It was only down for a short time.
I am logged on. I can refresh the page and use the site fine. I don't want to risk logging off to see if I can log on again

One of our summer projects is an Android wallet for the SMLY. Does anyone on this list have experience with programming Android wallets?
Since SMLY is scrypt based, we've been looking around at LTC and DOGE wallets for Android and most of the ones we've found are quite old and have not been kept up-to-date with updated libraries.
Can you folks suggest a good base for a SMLY wallet?
While we are on this topic: Do you have suggestions for (new/additional/useful) features that could be included in a wallet?

The cryptospecs app for Android now includes the SMLY. Available in the app store.
An overview of some development wrt SMLY and tutor-web: http://bit.ly/1H6zirW
The SMLY and tutor-web are used in education but they are also research tool. The main research proposal is described in http://bit.ly/tw2015-proposal
We've just put in a proposal to use the tutor-web (with the SMLY) for refugees. The idea is to use the concept of "Educational system in a suitcase" - read more at http://bit.ly/tw-refugees
The SMLY is now up for voting on a new exchange, https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/HomeAction/Voting
Please log in and give us your vote.

This is a very meaningful project that is well worth your support. Please spread the word!
OK, i'll let the pool running for a while. But the coin really needs some promo.. Maybe you should come into IRC and talk so some of the Promo-Guys (vindyne8,wigitgetit) etc
Recall that the SMLY is strongly linked to the tutor-web educational project. Here is some excellent tutor-web related news.
A PhD based on tutor-web research: Dr Anna Helga Jonsdottir defended her PhD thesis on April 17, 2015. The thesis title is "Development and testing of an open learning environment to enhance statistics and mathematics education". The work underlying the thesis was largely based on development and experiments using the tutor-web. A copy of the PhD thesis is available at http://bit.ly/PhD-AHJ and the thesis also provides the single most comprehensive description of the tutor-web.

Great news. I stumbled across this coin on twitter today. Looks like a worthy cause. I will pick some up tomorrow.
