your chain is stuck now 26h+

2020-08-01 20:37:09 ERROR: ConnectBlock() : rich address not getting paid correctly

But the pool gets the value from getblocktemplate so whats the deal?

Cheers

Thanks for the note -- working on it.



I've fixed it on pool side.

Thanks, smile on

Thank you!!!

I hope everyone remembers this:
As everyone here knows, SmileyCoin has been used quite a bit for charity and education.

The Smiley Charity and Education in a Suitcase receive SMLY from every generated block, in the form of 10 income streams. We've talked about how to use it: The African Maths Initiative and UNICEF will receive some of it in sub-streams to be set up and automated.

We've also talked about possibly using one stream for Universal Basic Income. This could be really neat, but the problem is that you can't just print money for UBI -- it needs to be a part of a circular economy, something like UBI->purchase->tax->UBI, whatever "tax" means.

The SmileyCoin Fund receives applications for grants in SMLY. One grant has already been accepted: Refilling the tutor-web wallet for rewarding students for their studies.

It is time to consider the next step: Should we try to use (some of) the Transaction Fee to test a UBI economy, possibly supported by one of the 10 income streams?

Proposed implementation: Take a version of the wallet and modify it so that the TxFee is split up and sent to a bunch of UBI recipient addresses. Do this in a few iterations, starting with just a handful of addresses, then move on and have the addresses coded as UBI-addresses into the blockchain. Eventually figure out a registration mechanism.

This is neither a fork nor is it mandatory: It is just a subgroup of people who mine and send the TxFee out as a UBI. But this subgroup will probably insist on fees of at least 1 SMLY per Kb in their blocks and movements using UBI addresses  Smiley

Comments are welcome as always.


The plan is to implement the (optional) TxFee split in the next version of the wallet.

We decided to put this unusual summer of COVID-19 to good use by hiring a lot of people to work on new features for SMLY.

We'll list these features in lots of announcements, but here are a few of the ongoing projects this summer:

  • secure on-chain messages
  • support for generic on-chain services
  • support for secure on-chain voting
  • tests for atomic swaps
  • on-chain DEX
  • on-chain sales of coupons (incl movie tickets)
  • formal on-chain support for universal basic income
  • links to computer games

The CoinLim exchange and the Smiley Charity are supporting a SmileyCoin trading competition on CoinLim.com.

This should be lots of fun. The reward for first place is 64 M SMLY and the total rewards are 128M SMLY.

The competition starts on Monday, June 22nd.

If you want to have some fun and support our work at the same time - or just see how this works - you'll need to register at CoinLim.com.

More on Twitter and Telegram.

I'd like to make a list of active SmileyCoin pools.

So far I know of http://icopool.club/

If you know of others, please let us know...

The scrypt blocks are returning an error about an "EIASAddress," ...
We will look into this. Thanks for pointing it out.


I looked into this and it was decided to discontinue the coin due to low-quality daemon software.
Oh dear, I am sorry - you got hit by some really bad karma: It was the shitty hash-alllocation scheme of prohashing which forced us to completely change
the mining setup in SmileyCoin in the first place.

It has worked wonderfully until now. Did you check out whether this is the same issue? https://github.com/tutor-web/smileyCoin/issues/23

This lack of testing on the part of the developers is unacceptable.  Real people's livelihoods are at stake here, and that was someone's salary for the day.
I can assure you that the problems with the prohashing hash-alllocation scheme cost us much, much more than a day's work!

But yeah, AFAIK there is only one SMLY mining pool at the moment and any pool owner trying to set up a SMLY pool may indeed find first-time bugs.

The SMLY team has never said that SMLY will work with your pool and we certainly do not accept responsibility for issues which may come up when someone tries to set it up with a new pool.

... and the daemon wasted over $100.
As noted in the previous post, the prohashing profit calculations for SMLY are at least a factor of 10 off. Did you take that into account?

$100 will buy some 3 million SMLY, which is the mining reward for every single block for 7 days of mining. Your claim just does not sound right.

Prohashing (https://prohashing.com) recently added Smileycoin for mining and payouts.

Prohashing seems to assume that the coinbase is the same as the miners' reward, which it is not the case for SmileyCoin. The word "Block reward" is used on your page, and shown as 10 thousand SMLY. But the miners' reward is only 10% of the coinbase.

It may not be as profitable as your calculator implies (apparently still very profitable, just not this much).

The scrypt blocks are returning an error about an "EIASAddress," but searching the Internet for the term didn't reveal any documentation as to what that is or how to create transactions to resolve it.  More concerning, however, is that the daemon will return this error when scrypt blocks are submitted, but not when blocks for any other algorithm are submitted.  It silently succeeds for those algorithms, still submits the block to the network, the other nodes reject it, and the daemon wasted over $100.

This lack of testing on the part of the developers is unacceptable.  Real people's livelihoods are at stake here, and that was someone's salary for the day.

what does that mean?

AFAIK there is no SMLY mining pool.

What pool are you using?

Have you tried to read the postings above which tell you how to mine SMLY -- with no pool?

SmileyCoin is now listed on CoinLim.

See coinlim.com

This brings us back up to 3 exchanges:
https://p2pb2b.io/
https://www.southxchange.com/
https://www.coinlim.com/

The markets are slightly different, with USD-SMLY on p2pb2b; USDT-SMLY on CoinLim but several markets on southXchange (LTC, DOGE, BTC, USD).

I am almost certain that this pool does not work as a SMLY mining pool. Note that their pool data seems to indicate that there is no mining for SMLY.

They have not been in touch -- and the pool software needs to be specially modified to accept SMLY.

Just use solo mining.


i tried mining some smiley (not using that pool, but my own mini pool) and all the blocks i found were not accepted by the network.
what mods are needing for mining pool software?
is it simply some percentage of the block reward payable to some charity address (like a pool fee?)
if so, what amount and to what address?

thanks!


The coinbase needs to be split in accordance with the wallet's rules. Only 10% become the miner's reward and the remaing 45%+45% need to go to a specific set of addresses, as donations and dividends, defined in the same way in all wallets.


well, i found the wallet source file richlistdb.cpp which allocates 45% based on block height modulo 10 from a list of addresses.
but i cant find any source file that explains how the other 45% is allocated. are you able to point me at a wallet source file(s) that would let me figure what i need to change in my mining software?

if you are lucky you will get blocks then you need to be more lucky to get your mined coins payments they to are messed up.

Looking at the pool output, they now seem to be mining SMLY -- and they clearly know that the miner's reward is not the same as the coinbase.

Please let us know if this pool actually works for mining SMLY...

pool does not work wasted lot of hash's.....any other pool?



No other pool that I know of.

Check their discord link if you have problems.
